The Oberholtzer Farm Bed & Breakfast offers the best of both worlds: the privacy of your own guesthouse along with a substantial continental breakfast each morning (milk, cereal, bread, fruit, eggs, pancake mix, coffee). Although this lodging is called a Bed & Breakfast, guests have the full guesthouse at their disposal including up to 3 bedrooms, a full kitchen, a sitting room and a bathroom. This historic lodging is located in the former hired-hand quarters on a Mennonite poultry, beef and crop farm. The beautiful stone farmhouse dates back to the 18th century.
The 2 main bedrooms and bathroom are up a rather steep staircase on the second floor. There’s also an optional 3rd bedroom on the first floor.
Visit with the farmer and learn about the local history and farm-related topics (apart from the farm tour, access to farm buildings is restricted for guests). Relax on the side porch and enjoy the wonderful views of the surrounding farmland. Enjoy the peace and quiet of this back road Lancaster County setting outside the town of Ephrata. The Oberholtzer Farm Bed & Breakfast is open to guests year round. There are 3 window air conditioner units to cool the guesthouse in the hotter months and the lodging stays warm and cozy in the winter months.

The hosts were so wonderful and amazing with catering to our stay! We stayed two nights and had a great time staying in their beautiful farm house and enjoying the delicious breakfast made in the morning. The farm tour was wonderful and informative about their farm. Their house was in a perfect location for sights such as the green dragon market and not too far from other attractions. Overall we had an amazing time and will definitely be returning in the future!!

We had a very memorable and wonderful weekend stay at the Oberholtzer Farm!! The house was perfect for our family of 6, and the farm had cornfields as far as you can see, and the cows and chickens were a sight to see and hear! If you want to enjoy a relaxing, peaceful getaway, this farm is perfect! Thanks to the Oberholtzer couple for sharing your home, the most welcoming and kindest hosts we’ve ever had!! We’re planning to be back, for sure!

We're just a few short weeks from making our return trip. We first stayed back in May, and my wife was just so thrilled with the farm tour, that she wanted to bring home a cow and chickens. Hospitality is just beyond fabulous. I come from a family of farmers from Germany so it's just wonderful to be on the farm.
The atmosphere is so quiet, peaceful that your thoughts almost just stop. Can't wait to be back in 3 weeks.

If you are looking for a cozy, quiet place to stay with a nice host family, this is it. Price is extremely reasonable. Accomodations are simple and very clean, which is exactly what we like! We loved touring the farm. The breakfasts were very good. You will not regret staying here. We have been to a few farms in the area, this is at the top of the list.

We had never stayed in a B&B before.My husband and I had the sure pleasure of staying at this place. It is out in the country but not far from everything.
The house is large & very well kept. Everything you need is provided.
The host family are absolutely wonderful. The farm tour is so great. We learned so much.
The breakfast was great & they graciously allowed us to attend church with them.
The porch was so inviting and the little kittens we so sweet.
The only thing that should make anyone think twice about staying here is if you are unable to climb stairs as the bathroom & master bedroom are upstairs which we did not find it to be a problem.
We will stay here again!

Super comfy! Hospitality was great and furniture is beautiful. Two friendly cats out in front ready to greet you, and a tour of the farm is an eye-opening experience. There are 3 bedrooms and 1 bath. plenty of room if you have extra guests
