You try making a vacation with two 15 year olds, and a 9 and 10 year old. Well, our stay with Jim and Mim started off on a positive note for everyone, just driving up to the farm. The place is clean, charming, and who can resisit the kittens? The room was clean, and pleasant. Breakfast was very good like everyone describes. The highlight was the "hay ride." The kids talked for days describing the visit to a 700 cow dairy farm. Seeing a commercial farm, and where our milk comes from is amazing. Driving through the Pennsylvania Djtch countryside is nice, but seeing the farms up close is phenomenal. Yes, I highly recommend.

Mim is the best cook on the planet and Jim is just a great guy. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the whole place is just so homey. The breakfast is incredible!! There was so much food there was no way 20 people could have eaten all of it. This couple is the warmest, friendliest and kindest around...don't miss a chance to stay with them.
By the way, we stayed in the summer of 2009, but were not able to choose that date. Recently, I emailed with Mim for more cook books from her church that have all her breakfast recipes. She sent them right away and sent a paper bill! How's that for down country trust and charm!!

We went for three days. We have two children, 9 and 11. The farm was absolutely wonderful! Jim and Mim are extrememly charming. The breakfast (served at 8 am) is delicious, the farm and grounds are immaculate, and the setting is relaxing. There is a basketball hoop in the back, kittens, goats, sheep, and chickens in the front (no roosters!). Jim takes everyone to help with the morning "chores" which include feeding the animals and collecting the eggs. We even held the baby goat! Then Jim takes everyone on a tractor hayride to his nephew's dairy farm and you get an education on dairy farming... very interesting! We took a couple of daytrips to Gettysburg, Amish country, and Hersheys, which are all relatively close by. We highly recommend staying there. The kids cannot wait to return!

We went and stayed the night on our way to Hershey Park which was a quick drive from there. The kids loved it playing with the kittens, feeding the goats, collecting eggs and a hayride to the dairy farm. The sunsets were beautiful there in the evening and they had lightening bugs galore!! It is very quite and peaceful, close to amish country even saw a couple of amish driving there buggies down the road. It is a great place to get away and breakfast was good too. It is a bit pricey for a family of five but the host were very gracious.
