"Decided to visit Lancaster and Amish country. My wife and I are not really B&B people, but this place really kind of intrigued us.|Upon arrival you will be amazed at the beauty of this 150 year old Victorian mansion and how well maintained it is.|Tom the owner personally greets you and gives you a tour of his home. A renounced painter, his work is hung throughout the home.|Pretty much brought back to its period decor, the place evokes thoughts and images of times gone by.|We stayed in the Rembrandt room. It had a 4 poster bed and claw foot bathtub beside the bed. Beautifully decorated it was a pleasure just to sit in our room and relax. The room had both AC and a refrigerator.|The memory foam mattress was very comfortable and the room was very quiet even though it faced the road. The wall mounted TV was small, but if you go on vacation to watch TV you need revaluate your travel goals.|The sit down served breakfast was not the best we had ever had, but it was varied from day to day and enjoyable none the less. Sitting with other guests in a century old dining room for a leasurely meal and conversation only added to the charm of our visit.|The location is only a 2 minute walk to historic downtown Columbia and a great brew pub. You are also close to the river trail if going for a nature hike entices you. For ice cream lovers, the Turkey Hill experience is a couple of blocks walk.|Lancaster is a 10 minute drive and Amish country about 20.|In the end the best part of our getaway was our stay at the mansion. I cannot recommend Hermansader highly enough. And, Tom was a wonderful and helpful host.|If you go, make sure you get a good look at the beautiful main staircase and inlaid celing work. Fantastic!"
