We stayed just one night at Ellmaker House as I was visiting a friend at her mom's house in the area, which was 3 hours from our home. Verna is a lovely, warm innkeeper. We arrived late (10:30pm), yet she was happy to see us in, show us around and chatted with us for a few minutes. The combination stairway/huge... More

We reserved a room at this B and B for the Gap Mud Sale a few weeks ago. After giving my credit card info and repeating my exact reservation info to the innkeeper, Verna, several times, I assumed that everything was okay for our stay. The day that we were to arrive, I notified her that we would be arriving... More

My wife and I stay at the Ellmaker House a couple of times each year -- it provides a relaxing and enjoyable getaway at a very affordable price. The rooms are spacious and clean, each with their own unique charm. Our favorites are the Tuscan and the Marquis -- we love the ambiance that the glowing fireplaces provides in these... More

My husband and I have stayed here three times, and certainly plan to return. While visiting family in the area, I needed a pet-free, allergen-free place to retreat. The Ellmaker House provides this necessity, and I feel pampered besides! I especially love that hot water for tea, and fresh coffee is always easily accessible. Verna's welcoming, cheerful demeanor, the comfortable... More

We frequently travel to Amish country and are always looking for new and interesting things. This B&B was an accidental finding, but quite a treasure. The innkeeper was beyond helpful. Although people have complained that the location overlooks a highway and the backyard is virtually a strip mall - it is still a prime location, serves wonderful breakfast, comfortable beds,... More

My husband and I took a trip to the general Lancaster area of Pennsylvania last summer (summer of 2010). We decided to stay at The Ellmaker House for two nights. First off, this property is stunning! We stayed in the Tuscan Room. The finishings are so luxurious and the entire property is charming. Verna, the Inn Keeper, is a darling.... More

This was a first, staying at a B&B, and honestly I cannot imagine staying anywhere else. The whole house is Beautiful, the room had an electric fireplace and beautiful chandelier with dimmer switch. All the comforts of home. The Innkeeper, Verna, is extremely nice and caring. The amish breakfast dish was delicious, and the coffee was superb. The room was... More

Our stay at Ellmaker House was wonderful. It was beautiful, clean and well appointed. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Verna, our innkeeper was very helpful! We wished we could have stayed longer and want to come back just for a get away.

This is the third time we have chosen to stay at the Ellmaker Inn because of the beautifully decorated and spacious rooms (with fireplace and robe0 and it's good location for visiting the nearby sights without being in the 'congested' areas. Verna, the innkeeper, is available for restaurant and entertainment suggestions and then creates a wonderful homemade breakfast each morning.... More
