Explore All Special EventsMy grandfather and grandmother used to come to Bird-in-Hand. My mother came when she was pregnant with me. When I was little, I used to ride on Grandpa Smucker’s tractor and play in the field where the farmers’ market is now. My wife and I brought our children to the Family Inn. Four generations of my family have stayed here. The best part is, even with the growth, it’s always stayed off the beaten path. I tell people that Bird-in-Hand is home, but unfortunately we have to live in New York.

Create Memories for a Lifetime
In the heart of our village, the Bird-in-Hand Family Inn in Lancaster, PA is built on land that has been in the Smucker family for generations – since 1925, when John E. Smucker bought the farm from his father-in-law. Today, we have 125 rooms and continue to improve on our resort-style country inn for the benefit of our Guests.
With one outdoor and two indoor swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts, an on-site fitness center, and other recreational facilities, our Bird-in-Hand country inn is the perfect place for an active family or group. Think of us like a family resort in Lancaster. We offer unique experiences like Fireside S’mores and free ice cream socials with the Smucker family that help make for a memorable family vacation. You can pull up a lawn chair and watch horse-drawn Amish buggies go by or hot air balloons launch from the field across the road. Plus, our location puts us in the middle of everything you want to see and do in Amish Country. Our hotel in Lancaster County is next to our Restaurant and Smorgasbord, as well as our live theatre. We’re within easy walking distance of our Bakery & Cafe, a farmer’s market, antique shops and a mini-golf course. And if you’re looking for a hotel near Sight & Sound Theatre, Dutch Wonderland, Kitchen Kettle Village, the Strasburg Railroad or the outlets, we’re just a short drive from these popular Lancaster, PA attractions.
