Romantic Getaway

With a Romantic package let Clearview Farm provide a romantic experience in a quiet setting. When you arrive we can have flowers, candy or beverages waiting for you in your room. Get away from the stress and have practically the whole house to yourselves. Clearview has only four guest suites each with a private bath. With several extra rooms for relaxing, reading, talking, or watching a movie, Clearview is romantic any time of the year. How about the hearth room and a movie on our flatscreen in the winter? Or the porch or sitting areas on the grounds outside in the summer. We can suggest short walks, you can throw stones in the pond or sit at watch the swans glide. We even have two brand new comfort bikes to take a short ride through the surrounding farmland.

Lititz Craft Show

Clearview Farm Bed and Breakfast is only a 10 minute drive away from the Lititz Rotary Club annual Craft show in August. The show runs from 8 AM till 4 PM. Clearview Farm B&B will give you a peaceful setting away from the crowds to relax in the evenings before and after the show. We can even serve you an early breakfast so you can reach the show at opening time and of course we can help you with reservations at some great local restaurants Saturday night after the show is over.

Dinner with an Amish Family

We know of an Amish family that enjoys hosting guests for dinner.  So, if you are interested, we can arrange this for you with a few days notice.  This family will host you for dinner and loves to share about the Amish community and beliefs. Every one of our guests who have been there return raving about the experience. Cost is $15 per person payable directly to the Amish family. If you tell us which night you want to dine there, we will simply make arrangements for you. Call us at 717-738-1322 or email us at clearviewfarmbnb@dejazzd.com

Pennsylvania Renaissance Fair

The Pennsylvania Renaissance Fair is only minutes from Clearview Farm B&B.  Each year we have repeat customers who stay with us for events at the fair.  A few even come to breakfast in their full costumes!  Cheryl tries to accommodate guests who need an early check in so they can get to the fair on time

Bike through Amish Country

At Clearview you have access to miles of beautiful back roads through farmland to ride on.  Bring your own bikes and store them in our garage or you can rent bikes at our inn. We have two brand new 21 speed comfort bikes with soft seats   We will map out a route for you with very little traffic or give you a bike route map for longer tours.  Also, with only a five minute drive from our inn you will find a huge waterfowl propagation area which is great for bird watching, hiking, or simply a leisure drive around the lake and through woodland.  One road takes you along a mountain stream for miles.  The Rainbow Trail passes nearby as well if you want a long hike   Let us know in advance if you need rentals so we can reserve them for you.

January 2011 Guest Review

Overall the quality of our visit was extraordinary!  A truly amazing placed to be.  Our room was exceptionally beautiful and comfortable.  Breakfast was world class on both Saturday and Sunday.  The hostess was more than accommodating throughout our entire stay.  The walls of this house are saturated with family tradition and love, which emanate a feeling of warmth, safety and comfort In the morning we watched the swan pair dance and bathe in the pond while observing the historic quality of the grounds.  Afterwards we explored the local animal conservation and town of Ephrata.  We also ate dinner in our room, so that we could continue enjoying it as much as possible.  Our sleep was peaceful and I even had delightful dreams of the town, this house, and the family.  This experience will never be forgotten and will be held close to our hearts for a lifetime.  We hope the length between this and our next stay is very brief, and we are excited to stay in the other rooms in future visits.  Passing on good words to our friends and family will be a pleasure.

Swans and White tail deer

We just bought a pair of Royal Mute Swans for the pond.   They are so graceful to watch.  Another benefit is that they are territorial and will keep whole flocks of Canadian Geese from landing.  The geese are pretty too but the make a lot of noise (and dirt).  The swans are perfect residents.

We also have been having white tailed deer coming to drink in the pond in front of the house almost every day. They are not even afraid of people walking in and out of the inn!   If you like nature,   there is a mile long walk on a paved road that leads through a canopy of trees. You can walk listening to the birds sing and you can hear the water running through the brook.

Water pump and sandstone trough

We are often asked about the water that runs constantly through the pump and trough in the front yard.  Yes, it is natural spring water that runs by gravity from the mountain.  It is great water which many local residents come to bottle for drinking.  It has run for decades through the sandstone trough and then into the pond.  The wooden pump case is a replica of those found on the Ephrata Cloister property and the trough is an old hand-hewn sandstone trough from a local farm.  Many wedding and engagement pictures have been taken beside the pump!
