Why Lancaster, what in the heck is so coolabout this littletown you might ask? And Why would it be my #1choice for any bed and breakfast PA has to offer?
Well, just for starters it’s ideallysituated to be able to visit the hot and fresh world of the art scene. As you know a world all excitedwith both old and new. Then, you’re just a few minutes from the heart of Amish country and it’s back in time feel that it imparts to its visitors that stay in the bed and breakfast PA area.
Amish country has so much to see and do that you cannotget anywhere else on the Planetreally. It’s fun just to stop by when they are building a house frame or barn and go look up close to see their amazing craftsmanship at work. This is the way we used to build things in the USA, with people who really knew what the heck they were doing at each phase of the building process. What I mean is that today we have specialist crews that say only do drywall or only do trim. They go from housing development to housing development just doing their specialty. Which sounds gooduntil you have to come behind them for your specialty and they did their job ok but left everything messed up for you. The Amish Men do all phases so they don’t create their own problems that then they try to sweep under the carpet.
You can watch furniture being made by hand not automatic machines at factories. I love this kind of stuff as you can tell. What it is that I really admireis the dying art of craftsmanship that is slowly eroding from the U.S. work force. Sure plenty of people still take pride in what they do but not much is handmade anymore and I for one am a greatfan of craftsmanship.
Then if the art scene is your thing there are possibly hundreds of galleries, shops and mom and pop outlets to suite your fancy. The area is brimming with the arts and even a few of the Amish hand crafts will be on display in some of the better shops for your perusal. The only spot I have seen in the country that might (and I use the word might overly liberally) have more art per square foot of township is Sedona Arizona that place is amazing. You will be safe to say that you will get your art fix and not be left wanting for more. Just bring a really good pair of walking shoes you’re going to need them.
Yes Lancaster hosts some of the very best bed and breakfast PA has to offer of that there is no doubt. If you like the arts, nature or true craftsmanship this is the one place that you will likely never find yourself bored in.
