“A Mental Escape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 7, 2013

What a welcomed refuge to find so close to home! The Innkeepers, Debbie and Werner take great pride in the service and atmosphere found at Swiss Woods.
Upon arriving at the inn, we were greeted by our new friends, couples whom we've never met yet seemed like we knew all our lives. This place just breaks down your inhibitions.
We rented the Matterhorn suite and found it impeccably clean, well apointed and charmingly decorated.
There are so many positive things to say about this place that ultimately it is something that one must experience themselves. You will not be disappointed. If you ever dreamed of visiting a quaint Swiss cottage or mountain villa, this is the ticket! We stayed in February and I can't wait to visit when Werner's beautiful horticultural prowess really shines. I found this gentleman to be a very humble and engaging person with the greenest thumb in PA. Debbie was a very calming and friendly woman. Her attention to the quality and comfort of your stay is evidently paramount in her eyes.
The surrounding area has more things to do than you can fit into a weekend (we tried). The included breakfasts are something to be experienced for yourself, incredibly delicious and beautifully presented. Trust me folks, this one is a keeper.
Did I mention the chocolate biscotti? Super yummy!

Room Tip: I don't believe there is a bad view to be found.

“Relax and Enjoy”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

Lovely house with even more beautiful grounds. This was my second trip to Swiss Woods, the first having been in the fall when the grounds were in bloom and a walk in the woods was warm and fragrant. This time, the fire inside with the books and magazines and gentle music were perfect to read by. The fire outside in the clever metal cage made even the 30-something degree weather comfortable and was a perfect place to meet and talk to fellow-guests. Hosts Werner and Debbie were thoughtful and helpful and delightful from beginning to end. Our room was clean and comfortable and has a door leading directly to the outdoor patio and grounds. Best place to stay in the Lancaster area. My husband and I will definitely be back!

“Beautiful and inviting!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 20, 2012

I'm not the only one giving this special B&B five stars. Recommended by a friend who grew up in Lancaster County, I was impressed with their website. Went in October at the peak of fall colors and definitely a visual treat. The owners, Werner and Debbie, are extremely friendly and hospitable. Stayed 3 comfortable nights enjoying the fireplace, comfortable living space, delicious breakfasts, and 24/7 beverages and yummy homemade snacks and desserts. You'll not be disappointed with your stay here. A couple whom we met said this was their 3rd time staying at Swiss Woods--that's an endorsement in itself.

Room Tip: Preferred the 1st floor rooms with access to the outside grounds. Located north of Ltitlz on country...

“Wonderful Visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

My husband and I went on vacation with my best friend and her husband. We ended our trip in Lititz, PA to see a former student of mine. We were only staying for one night. We knew we were going to a nearby wolf sanctuary the next day, so we were just looking for someplace nearby. What a terrific find. The rooms were lovely, and the innkeepers were incredibly friendly. Breakfast was absolutely delicious as well! If we ever return to Lititz to visit Kate, we will definitely be staying at Swiss Woods again!

“Second time around won't be the last!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 8, 2012

I can't say enough about the hospitality, rooms and food. A fire in the chiminea each afternoon and night. Clean bedrooms and public rooms, great breakfasts, good company and information from hosts. They also don't crowd visitors. Plenty of space if that's what you want. Acres to walk and enjoy the weather. Great rooms on the first floor for those who avoid steps. My favorite B&B.

Room Tip: Ask for the rooms with a view.
