Experience Pennsylvania Dutch Country

Come to Pennsylvania Dutch Country, a picturesque area of covered bridges, neatly painted farmhouses and patchwork-quilt pastures. Sun Retreats Lancaster County is a great home base when exploring this restful countryside.

To get an overview of the area, we recommend taking a tour such as one offered by Brunswick. This company offers innovative tour packages that are perfectly suited to your needs. Tour options include self-guided, private guides, and groups on a coach bus. Explore a destination like Lancaster County, or take a themed tour around topics like agriculture and history.

An array of museums in Lancaster County provide a fascinating glimpse into the Amish way of life. One of our favorites is the Amish Village in nearby Strasburg. Here you can tour an 1840s farmhouse and the surrounding 12-acre grounds that include a historic one-room schoolhouse.

Don't leave the area without sampling authentic Amish cuisine, which is characterized by hearty, savory dishes and melt-in-your-mouth baked goods. Pennsylvania Dutch Country also boasts antique, flea and farmers' markets, along with attractions like Shartlesville's Roadside America, a miniature village depicting an idyllic small town in our nation.

This part of the country is rich in wonderful historical attractions. The Gettysburg Battlefield lies less than two hours from Lake in Wood, while Valley Forge National Historical Park is just an hour away, situated near the shopping hub of King of Prussia. After your time at Valley Forge, drive half an hour east to Philadelphia and witness American landmarks like the Liberty Bell.
