Ever Heard of "Bird in Hand"?


Mill Creek Homestead & B&B in Bird in Hand, PA




Come to our beautiful Lancaster County setting where you can hear the clippety-clop of horse-drawn Amish buggies and experience the sights and sounds of their unique culture ...while you enjoy the freshness of well-kept farmlands.

One of the oldest homes in Bird-In-Hand, the Mill Creek Homestead is an eighteenth-century field stone farmhouse located in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country in Lancaster County. This was once home to the owner of a saw mill along Mill Creek. Much of the same life-style can still be experienced today due to the Amish influence. Retaining its old world charm, the home has been renovated to provide all the comforts of the modern world. Guests enjoy warm hospitality and solitude. This large eleven-room home offers four tastefully decorated guest rooms with private baths. The grounds are accented by towering pine trees that limit a distant view, but you may see our Amish neighbors working in their tobacco or corn fields or hanging tobacco in the barn to dry, depending on the time of year. Enjoy rocking on the porch and listening to the dippity-dop of the horse and buggies going by. The area abounds with historic sites, museums, theatres, quaint shoppes, quilt and antiques shops, outlet shopping, amusement parks, golfing, fishing, biking, farmers and roadside markets. It is also near Hershey, Gettysburg, Longwood Gardens, Harrisburg, and Philadelphia. 
The new Innkeepers are Bob & Lori Kepiro.
