Our Dutch Country B&B was completely restored in 2006.

You'll also find authentic hand-made amish quilts and beautiful hardwood floors. The private cottages offer a kitchenette, and are ideal for longer stays.

Speedwell Forge Bed & Breakfast suts in a secluded valley on 120 acres, between a lake and a natural park. We;re just minutes from the historic small towns of Lititz, Manheim, Ephrata, and all of Pennsylvania Dutch country.

During the renovation, the mansion was not changed except for the addition of bathrooms and the kitchen island. The windows and floor date to the 1880s and were fully restored. The slate roof was replaced using 80-year-old Peachbottom slate salvaged by Amish roofers from a barn that was being demolished, and copper gutters were installed.
The electric wiring and plumbing were completely replaced, and a/c, telephones, Internet, and cable TV were added. Almost all of the furniture belonged to Dawn's grandparents and was fully restored.
We removed a closet to enlarge Kathryn's bath, creating enough space for a six-foot whirlpool bath and separate shower.
Outside, all of the stone was "repointed" (replacing the mortar) and inside all of the walls and ceiling received a brand-new coat of plaster. It took four painters more than three months to hand-paint the mansion and cottages. The privy and spring house were also restored.
Our rates include a full three-course breakfast every morning and fresh-baked desserts every evening.
