With Summer coming to an end and school starting up, it marks the beginning of cooler days, the anticipation of autumn, the beginning of the PA Renaissance Faire, and perhaps the last chance to get away before schedules start to get hectic. Why not book a weekend stay at the Amethyst Inn (Adamstown, Pennsylvania) for a fun weekend away, or you could rent the Adamstown Vacation home for your

While you’re vacationing in Adamstown at a luxury Lancaster Pa bed and breakfast, the Amethyst Inn, you’ll find yourself so close to Amish Country, PA that you won’t be able to resist a visit! From buggy rides, to visiting an Amish village, to seeing an Amish film, you’ll experience a fun day while learning about the customs and beliefs of this close community. A buggy ride will give you first

Are you ready for an inside scoop on more hikes near Adamstown Inns & Cottages?  Whether you want to travel down the road to Berks County, or stay within Lancaster County to enjoy nature, there are many options available.  Last week I mentioned my adventure at Hawk Mountain that was a bit more rugged, but you'll find that these hikes are a bit more leisurely.  Both Blue Marsh Lake and Chickies

As we learned last week, Lancaster County PA is not just Amish tourism. We have an abundance of great hiking trails located near our Bed & Breakfast. Lancaster is home to over 8 different county parks, as well as preserves, game lands, and even a wolf sanctuary. What better way to see the breathtaking beauty of Lancaster, Pa then hiking or biking throughout the county.  My next adventure in

Hawk Mountain Hiking is one of my favorite past times, and summer is one of the best times to go in Lancaster, PA. While it can be hot and buggy, it’s always exhilarating to get outside and enjoy the sunshine and fresh air. Luckily for you, Adamstown Inns and Cottages is located around many trails, parks, and recreation areas. If you’re like me and get a thrill from breathtaking views on

Have an appreciation for local beers and fine wines? Both Lancaster and Berks County have summer events scheduled around your choice of alcoholic beverage. All of these events are located near Adamstown Inns & Cottages; a perfect retreat for a relaxing evening. The National Watch and Clock Museum is having their annual beer-tasting event, “Hops ‘n Clocks” on Friday July 9th. I’ve toured the

Racing events always remind me of when I was young and my dad took me to a race track a few times. I don’t remember much besides wearing ear plugs and buying a huge bucket of KFC to take with us so that we didn’t have to pay for the expensive food, but I do know that I had a lot of fun! Maple Grove, however; holds different memories as I was there within the past few years to watch some high

Conveniently, Adamstown Inns & Cottages is centrally located to many celebrations. Start your weekend on Friday in Downtown Lancaster at First Fridays, their monthly celebration of the arts.

A recent day trip to downtown Lancaster with a friend opened our eyes to the many interesting sites of the city. Downtown Lancaster not only has art galleries on many of its streets, but they also have shops that have an eclectic selection of items for sale that can satisfy many tastes. We only got to sample a few of the artistic elements that the city has to offer, but we sure did enjoy

Have you completed your yearly car wash yet?  Now that we are heading into summer everyone wants to make sure their car looks good as the sun gleams off the freshly washed paint.  My car is still dirty as ever, but I'm not to worried because I'm not showing in any of the local car shows.  Our Lancaster Bed and Breakfast is at a prime location for the VW June Bug Classic XXIII.  You don't have to

Lancaster’s Spring Antique Extravaganza is over and we are still feeling the rush of excitement. Lancaster County’s Antique District has over 5,000 dealers within a 5 mile radius of Adamstown Inns & Cottages. The extravaganza has ended but it doesn’t mean all the antiques disappear. Adamstown Antique Extravaganza in April only begins the fun filled summer season throughout Lancaster County.

Every year when Antique Extra- vaganza time rolls around here at the Inns I'm reminded why little quaint Adamstown, PA is the antiques captial of the United States.  Even to this day I'm still astounded by the fact that this small section of  Northern Lancaster County has become the place to travel for thousands of antiques and collectabiles.  Well, in just a couple short weeks many people will

Spring is finally here, although today it feels like summer here at the Adamstown Inns and Cottages.  As I walk around the properties I am witnessing new life emerge in the flower beds and on the trees.  We have already begun our flower planting here, and I am anticipating spending many more hours planting flowers due to Kristin's love for the local flower auction where she can purchase flowers

No, we haven't begun our own pool for the NCAA Basketball championships, but we are initiating our Lancaster County March Madness Special here at the Adamstown Inns and Cottages.  The snow is finally beginning to melt and I can actually see grass again so I know spring will be here before I know it.  I still have plenty of winter projects to complete, but I know before long I will be out in the

Here at the Adamstown Inns & Cottages, we know spring is just around the corner when we begin to see advertisments concerning Berks Jazz Fest.  From the Inns, it only takes a minute or so to cross over into Berks County and Berks Jazz is a local favorite. On March 19-28, 2010, Berks Reading will once again host the 20th annual Jazz Festival.  This ten day event will feature over 120 different

I've noticed recently that everyone seems to be an aspiring photographer.  From posting all kinds of pictures on facebook or blogs, even having friends do wedding pictures instead of hiring a photographer.  And why not, when you have a digital camera at your finger tips which allows you can take hundreds of pictures until you finally get that perfect shot.  Then, if that perfect shot is not quite

The second gift of "time" was for my boyfriend. In his second year at the Virginia Military Institute, we do not get the opportunity to see each other often. That is why I chose to take advantage of the holiday season and give him “time” for Christmas! From hearing all the positive reviews and hype about Longwood Gardens, it is no surprise that I decided to take my boyfriend there for Christmas

I have been working for Adamstown Inns & Cottages since May of 2009 and am in my senior year at Elizabethtown College. I am studying Business Administration with a concentration in Entrepreneurship because I would like to own my own B&B one day.

It's that time of year, or end of year, again when everyone township, borough, county, and city drops something to bring in the New Year.  Not far from the Adamstown Inns and Cottages a number of different communities are going to be dropping all kinds of things for their New Years Eve celebrations.  In Kutztown, the Kutztown Bologna Co. has made an oversized, six foot long, 100lb. bologna that
