The Kimmell House is the quintessential Pennsylvania experience! Everything about our stay was perfect--from the beautifully decorated historic home to the wonderful breakfasts which should be featured in a magazine like "Southern Living" to the friendliness and helpfulness of Bonnie and Dave. They went out of their way to meet our needs. Each day Bonnie made special breakfasts for me... More

We celebrated our 12th anniversary here & as soon as I stepped through the door told my husband we'd be back next year! This B & B is decorated absolutely perfect for time it was built & it made you feel as though you had stepped back in time. Dave & Bonnie are very friendly & made us feel as... More

We headed to the Lancaster area, with no reservations on the Labor Day Weekend. To our surprise, there was no rooms available in the area..After frantically looking for a place to stay, we were directed to the Kimmell House. Bonnie and Dave were patient with us, as we had gotten lost and it was late when they directed us to... More

My wife and I found the Kimmell House to be a great value. Bonnie and Dave are friendly, accomodating and hospitable. The house itself built while George Washington was President is rich with history and modern comforts. After our first night stay I mentioned to Dave that when the compressor kicked on in the window unit air conditioner there was... More

My husband normally chooses our B&B's, but I was charged with the responsibility for this trip. I searched the net high & low for the perfect place. Upon our arrival I knew I had suceeded in my mission. My husband & I were not disappointed; we had the perfect room (Hunt Room), hosts, breakfasts, charm and decor - indeed I... More

My wife and I really enjoyed our time staying at The Kimmell House. It's an old house (1765) with all the modern conveniences. But...they have such an eye for detail! It's appointed with the perfect touches to really make you feel like you're in the Colonial Era. We spent our evening time warming ourselves by the fire in the keeping... More

We had a very warm, comfortable welcome and totally enjoyable visit. Dave and Bonnie are excellent, experienced innkeepers who are very friendly and knowledgeable. Our rooms were lovely and immaculate. The furnishings are very well done and so appropriate for the inn. Breakfasts were so delicious and the presentation was great. We had a medical emergency while at the inn... More

This was our first visit to the Kimmell House and our first opportunity to enjoy Dave and Bonnie's hospitality. We stayed two nights in celebration of our 40th anniversary and had a really enjoyable time. The breakfasts were great, the room was clean and comfortable, and the host & hostess were gracious and helpful. Dave's recommendation for a restaurant for... More

My husband, son and I stayed at the Kimmel House this past Thurs. heading to Millersville Univ. on Friday. The Inn is one of the most beautiful b & b's we've ever stayed in. It is clean, organized, renovated to perfection and shows the thought and care given to reflect it's 200+ years standing. One can't stop but admire all... More

I'm not the type to write reviews, but this place was amazing. The decor is extremely tasteful and in keeping with the historic nature of the house. No floral print and doily explosion here! The hosts are great sources of information and very helpful. Breakfast portions are large, but delicious and will allow you to skip lunch and have more... More
