10 Acres of Hospitality Surrounded by Amish Farmland

AmishView Inn & Suites

The Amish Experience is located at Plain & Fancy Farm, a 10 acre site along Route 340 (AAA Scenic Cultural Byway) completely surrounded by Amish Farmland.  Plain & Fancy Farm is also home to AmishView Inn & Suites and two restaurants.  AmishView is an award-winning hotel offering 85 rooms, all of which have an amazing view of multi-generational Amish farms, complete with an Amish one-room school in the distance.  Rooms come in different formats, perfect for both families traveling together, or couples wishing to enjoy a private getaway.  One half of the hotel is adults only, while the other half is family-friendly.  The famous “Grand King” room is a much-appreciated feature of the adults-only wing.  Every guest is treated to a next-level all-you-care-to-eat breakfast, with made-to-order eggs and omelets, and many hot and cold self-serve options as well.  AmishView has been named America’s number 1 three-star hotel by travel site Trivago, and voted the number one hotel in Lancaster County by TripAdvisor 5 years in a row.  In 2024 AmishView was named by AAA inspectors as a AAA Best of Inspected Clean Hotel.  This means AmishView ranks in the top 25% of over 27,000 AAA Inspected hotels for cleanliness and condition.
