We Recommend the Maytown Manor as a Great PA Inn to Get that RENEWED Feeling!
Just walking onto the porch felt like 'coming home' ...
Our Personal Impressions:
Jeff was there to greet us and show us around the inn so that we would feel welcome ... and we did. Here we have small-town charm in the midst of a tourist Mecca. Echoing a past era with some country-cottage charm and a touch of the mysterious, this Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, inn leapt into our hearts immediately upon entering it. There is a feeling of becoming an instant member of the family when you walk into the living room and see dozens of family photos sitting around ... after a closer look, we realized that we weren't in any of them (yet). The various nooks were inviting us to settle in, read a book, watch a movie, make some music or just relax by the fire.
The accommodations were comfortable, clean and relaxing. Jeff & Julie provided a delightfully fresh and sumptuous breakfast that still hangs delightfully in our sensory memories. The other couple there at the same time had been guests twice before and spoke highly of the breakfast treats served at this inn. They had stayed in each of the 3 available rooms and their favorite was the smaller Cameron Room because of the bright morning sun that greets you upon awakening. We stayed in the Taylor Room which has a bit of a mystical feel about it.
As for romance value... This is a great place for a married couple of twenty years to share precious moments together with an atmosphere of romantic sophistication, yet enchanting enough to evoke instant romance for young lovers. A truly relaxing and romantic addition to any trip ... or just a little time away from the rat race.
Definitely a wonderful sanctuary in a hectic world where you can avoid the craziness of motels and get treated like family member. And when you do visit, say hi to Max for us.
We recommend that you add this Inn to your 'must try' in PA list and visit often,
we intend to do just that.
It is truly a restful and soul reviving getaway!
Please let them know that Jim & Beth sent you.
Have Fun, You Deserve It!

Most people travel to Lancaster County to see the sites that are located in Eastern Lancaster, such as the outlets. There is however, a lot to do in Western Lancaster County as we found out from Jeff and Julie Clouser from the Maytown Manor Bed and Breakfast. Jeff and Julie were excited to show the sites of their surrounding neighborhoods.
We arrived Friday evening and were greeted by Jeff right outside the front door of his inn. Standing on a corner outside of the Maytown town square, this bed and breakfast is an immaculately clean and well-preserved home built in 1880 sitting on a large lot with beautiful surrounding gardens. Inside it's beautifully decorated with items from both Jeff and Julie's past increasing that feeling of home. It is a great place for a romantic getaway weekend. It was very entertaining to hear the stories behind certain pieces of furniture; especially the thirteen-dollar table, which Margherita fell in love with.
Jeff and Julie's accommodating personalities break down all boundaries and immediately make you feel at home. Jeff was extremely hospitable and very jolly. He has a very whimsical, theatrical like personality, a bit like Nathan Lane in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum. Every moment there seemed to be some reason to laugh or smile. After a great meal, we drove back to the Maytown Manor, and we admit it did feel a bit like sleeping over at a friend's house. There were midnight snacks on the dining room table, which is so much cozier than a hotel.
The next morning we woke up and had a delicious breakfast including English muffin bread, cheesy bacon and broccoli quiche, and peachy fruit salad with marshmallows. Any breakfast with marshmallows is good in my world.
After breakfast, we got in the car to hit the sites as per the suggestion of Jeff. Most visitors' bureaus are not as organized as Jeff and Julie in planning the best itinerary to spend a day in Western Lancaster County. The next morning we had another wonderful breakfast. It was bananas and cream followed by baked apple French toast. After breakfast, we said goodbye to Jeff and Julie and headed on our way home. Western Lancaster County is definitely a place I would love to visit again. There are so many things we did not get a chance to do and see, but we certainly plan on going back. It is also a place to go to just relax? especially if you stay at a warm and inviting place like the Maytown Manor Bed and Breakfast.
