Welcome to the Country Hearth Bed and Breakfast

Experience the rustic charm of Country Hearth B&B

The Country Hearth Bed & Breakfast is a historic home located in the heart of Lancaster County and has welcomed guests since 1997. Originally the Dilworth’s Rocking Horse Bed & Breakfast, it was started by Fred Dilworth, who was a local carver and had a woodshop in the carriage house. As you enter, you will see the hearth that was used for cooking in the original home. The hardwood floors, random-width doors, mantels, and built-ins will help you embrace the history of this charming stone farmhouse.

Enjoy a Staycation

Even though you may be away from home, we want you to make yourselves at home! Explore our 200-plus board game collection and find a spot in one of our common rooms to enjoy it. We are happy to help you learn new games you decide to try. Enjoy the fire, read a book, sit back, relax and take a nap! This is your chance to get away from the hustle and bustle of the world. Come escape!

Get up in the morning to a full vegetarian breakfast including coffee, teas, juices, and fresh fruit. A hot entrée of the chef’s choice will be served which might include an egg dish, gourmet French toast or pancakes. You will also enjoy freshly baked muffins, coffee cake, funny cake, shoofly pie or scones.

Later in the day take advantage of our complimentary beverages and snacks. You can even eat local and walk to one of the local restaurants for lunch or dinner.
