Whenever we went away on vacation up and down the east coast of the United States, we always stayed in old remodeled 1960s, 1970s one floor to two floor motels with private entrances. That is our favorite kind a place to stay. 😊
Hello John and Bobby hope you're doing well that was a very clean place I will have to say if I'm ever up that way I will definitely give it a try and if y'all have never been on the Blue Ridge Parkway I would highly recommend it take care have a great weekend
I love staying in these kind of family owned vintage motels. They have a great continental breakfast. I was down that way last Saturday, 8-10-24. We took my sister to Shady Maple for her birthday lunch. Thanks for sharing.
We used to stay at Willow Valley Resort in Amish country. SO many great memories. Just watching your video brings back a lot of those feelings. Thanks guys.
My parents always stayed at Travelers Rest decades ago. I’ve stayed there a few times myself but it’s been quite a few years now so I was happy to see your review. Looks like it’s still the wonderful place to stay.
What a sweet video. And how kind of you to give that motel a boost in your video, as you kindly do in all your videos. We live here in New Holland PA a stonesthrow of all the videos in Lancaster County Amish Country. Wondering if you've ever reviewed Roots ir Green Dragon once a week huge farm markets with multiple buildings. I mean both the Roots one and the Green Dragon. Actually a bit overwhelming, there's so much. Hoping we run into you guys around here some day. Coffee on us! -regards to you both. -Lorraine
Thank you for your kind words. When we visit lancaster, it is usually on the weekdays. We have never been to either place. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
You were hit with a fly swatter as a kid?!? Lucky! My weapon of choice was a leather belt. The "good old days". 😂 Thank you for always putting out very nice and informative videos. You both always explain everything so thoroughly. Very much appreciated. ❤
We both got the belt also. I didn't get it too many times cause i'm a quick learner. Poor John had to learn the hard way.🤣 Thank you for the nice compliment. We appreciate you watching. 😎😎
Happy Friday, John and Bobbie. Beautiful country indeed. The motel and rooms look so clean and relaxing. And the breakfast, that would be difficult to match at most restaurants. Another destination marked on our map. Awesome video and review. Thanks for sharing, and have a wonderful weekend. 😊
I live about 20 minutes away. Looks like a very nice hotel room. Nice & clean. Bird in Hand is an awesome town and area to see a lot of the Amish buggies. I went to Dienner’s last week but the line was long. So I went to Katie’s Kitchen. Have you guys ever been there ? It’s on Rt 896 S not to far from Sight and Sound. It is an Amish restaurant & all of the employees are Amish. The food is very good. I had meatloaf and it was some of the best meatloaf I have ever had. I love the Amish areas and all of their culture. I love living in Lancaster County! Have a nice weekend John & Bobbi 😊
We have a video on Katie's Kitchen. We ate at Dienner's before we came home. They are always busy. Katie's can get busy, too. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
That is a beautiful place. I love how you try to stay at locally owned places and not big chain motels/hotels. You can tell the owners takes pride in their property. I’m sure they have lots of rooms occupied. Thanks for showing us things we normally wouldn’t see.
I don’t know if I ever told you this but Relaxation is my middle name!! You guys are always on the good places to stay and I appreciate that! I’ve been through Amish country many times but never really checked it out. And with your recommendations at my fingertips I know l will have a good place to stay when I do decide to take a trip to properly scope out the area !
Thank you,Bobbie,John for sharing your stay at this motel,which looks like a restful place to be.Stay Safe.Nancy.The continental breakfast looks very good too and inviting.
Always a beautiful place to be. Everything about this area is amazing and an experience. The buggies try to stay on the side roads or back roads as much as possible. When you are in the area over a weekend, attend Sunday morning worship services at The Worship Center on Hwy 23 in Leola. It is just north of where you stayed. The Smuckers family started that church in 1977 with Pastor Sam Smucker the head pastor. They have ties to Auntie Ann and the owners of Sight and Sound theater. It is an experience for sure. Your videos are so good. Thank you for sharing.
Good morning, guys. It looks like you both have everything you need for a restful, serene stay. Love it and yes we would stay here. Walking distance to all the shops you guys hit a home run thank you great job😊❤
Thank you. They did have a nice breakfast area. We used to have a brochure explaining how the name came about . But I can't find it. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
Nice motel. Love to stay in that area. They used to have the Cande Light Inn in Ronks, with a great restaurant across the street. The inn is gone. It was owned by classical musicians. My last trip was just awful at Cherry Lane Motor Inn. Booked online to take grandchildren to Dutch Wonderland. Big mistake. Loving your reviews of the area!
Wow, I will definitely have to keep this in mind. That breakfast looks delicious! Going in October but I've already made reservations at the Fulton Inn.
We love the Fulton Inn. We enjoyed our stay here. We didn't eat breakfast. We only got one of the donuts. But it did look like a nice breakfast. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
Nice review… are you going on the Farmland Tour? That would be fun to see!!! I appreciate you showing the walk in shower and doing such a thorough job!!! - Nick
Thank you. We appreciate you watching. We took the tour when we stayed at one another locations. We didn't miss time. I will put a link below to one of the stores that they will take you to . We filmed it a few years ago. ua-cam.com/video/xQQH9d5vfrY/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
In my 45 years of going out there, I have never stayed here. It really looks nice. Now that we travel with our dog, we have been renting a house from an Amish man. The house sits rights next to an Amish house. Prices to rent a house are almost the same as a hotel. Enjoy your Lancaster vlogs.
That is awesome. You get to stay at a house for about the same price as a hotel. I know this location does not allow pets. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎
The tree bush with the large dark pink flowers is a crepe myrtle. They don't really grow much more further north because it's too cold and you mostly see them when you're in North and South Carolina especially when you go to Myrtle Beach and also they are all over Florida. My mother had a gorgeous one that she purchased when we were in Williamsburg Virginia Busch Gardens the old country around 1975, and it did beautiful for her for almost 25 years, until that one winter there was a cold snap where it went like five below zero and it killed it. I use to trim it for her every single year because they grow like 2 to 3 ft a year and she never liked anything too tall. Unfortunately after around 25 years it died on her and she cried. So this was around 1998 so i drove down to Williamsburg Virginia for a few days and I picked her up a new one in lavender, but she did not like it as much and said why didn't you get me one in dark pink, because that was her favorite color. So then I felt bad. My mother was obsessed with the color pink and she really loved hot pink. I grew up in a house with five women and her pink bathroom was nauseous. 😊
@@jbinthehills I do not hate the color pink I just hated her pink bathroom. I do not dislike any color because I am an artist I have done hundreds and hundreds of oil paintings of Wildlife and Landscapes and still lifes. Sold 100 of them in art galleries and to people I know, neighbors etcetera.
Since you're on the subject of Intercourse Pennsylvania and bird-in-hand Pennsylvania. Years ago I was at an antique auction not far from Amish country and an antique Amish metal cookie cutter came up for auction, it depicted an Amish man with an erection. To make a long story short no pun intended the cookie cutter sold for approximately $400 😊
This video brought a big SMILE to my face! It reminded me of my travels with my Husband and the motels we stayed at. Out of curiosity, is the motel owned by the Amish? I say this because of all the special amenities?❤ 🙏
They usually have a lane beside the main road they go off in and you can pass them. Or they motion for you to pass also. It’s never a problem in this area 😎😎
I don’t like motels where people park in front of their doors. The noise from people coming in late or leaving very early disturbs sleep, especially since cars honk each time they are locked.
You are right. That could be a problem. I didn't notice a lot of noise on this trip. Maybe because we had the air conditioning on. Thanks for watching and commenting. 😎😎

Such a lovely hotel and a bonus of seeing the buggies.

I love the firepit.
I bet it would be nice to sit by the firepit when the weather is cooler in the evenings. 😎😎

They come in handy. 😎😎
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you for watching. 😎😎
Nice hotel room 😀 flys are never invited lol
You are right about the fly🤣 Thanks for watching. 😎😎
❤
Thank you for watching. 😎😎
I am just a little curious about the uninvited fly , did he help with the motel fee or did one of you let him have it with the swatter ??😂
🤣 It didn't help with the fee of the motel. We opened the door and he went back out . 😎😎
@@jbinthehills your too nice 😊
What are the rules of the road when you pull up on a buggy? Can you pass them?
They usually have a lane beside the main road they go off in and you can pass them. Or they motion for you to pass also. It’s never a problem in this area 😎😎
That motel was on the tv show Amish mafia
Thanks for watching.
140d is a great price for that area
It is responsible. Thanks for watching. 😎😎
Just curious guys being so young do you both have day jobs as well
John worked for 40 years, and I worked for 35 years. We are enjoying our life now.😎😎
@jbinthehills you both look so young...Great job guys
@@donnamccormackThank you. 😎😎
He passed away today and I got to hold his hand 😢.
We are so sorry for your loss. We will keep you in our prayers. 🙏🙏
Intercourse??
That is the name of the town.😎😎
Smucker , Amish mafia 😮
Thanks for watching.
I don’t like motels where people park in front of their doors. The noise from people coming in late or leaving very early disturbs sleep, especially since cars honk each time they are locked.
