I recommend this hotel! Amazing, friendly staff! My kids loved the pools and easy access to everything around the Inn. We are going to come back in the summer so we can do the putt putt course, go to... all the markets/shops & play on the playground!read more

Bird in Hand is a fantastic place to stay. I really enjoy the clean rooms and the staff are very friendly and helpful. It is the perfect place for a weekend getaway. The petting zoo is a great... place for kids and there is mini golf and playgrounds as well. I always enjoy staying here.read more

This property is part of the bird in hand family. It is a very nice place to stay and is family friendly. I found this location to be just as nice as the others. One issue I found was that the indoor... pool appeared very murky, you could not see the bottom of the pool. I think the pool is in serious need of a draining and full deep clean. Othere than that I do say come by and stay.read more

This place is situated in a nice location. Very close to all of the shopping outlets, and near other attractions, without being too central that it is super busy. The staff was very kind and helpful,... and the room was very clean. We only stayed a short time, so we did not try the pool or other facilities or other activities. However, they do offer a pool, there was a mini golf spot on the property, and they offered free tours. They also provided resources for different activities or events in the area. The only thing we ran into, was that we had to use a dehumidifier in the room constantly. Not sure why that was happening, but other than that, it was a nice place to stay!read more

The room was a bit dated and the climate control wasn't great, but otherwise it was very clean and well put together. I didn't need much help from the staff, but what little help I did need was met... by courteous, professional people.read more

The room was very clean and looked relatively new. There was a numbered parking space in front of the room. I would recommend staying here.One observation about visiting this area is that most... places are closed on Sunday and some on Monday. It was hard to find a place to eat except the chain restaurants.read more

My 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.
