A bunch of us – four couples – traveled together. A friend saw a package at the Bird-in-Hand Family Inn advertised in the newspaper, so we went for a weekend. That was 1984. We stayed in the pool building in adjoining rooms and just had a ball. We’ve gone ever since. One year we decided to stay someplace else, but we were sorry. You couldn’t have better people. You could get a hotel room anywhere, but the people at the Family Inn keep us coming back. It’s grown bigger, but it’s still friendly.

In the heart of our village, the Bird-in-Hand Family Inn 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. 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, the Bird-in-Hand Artisan Village, 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.
