Dear Guests,

We love serving others. That is what attracted us
to become innkeepers almost 10 years ago after
selling our newspaper distribution business in the
Philadelphia suburbs.. In June 2000, we became
proud owners of B.F. Hiestand House, a High Queen
Anne Victorian Bed & Breakfast in the historic
river town of Marietta, PA Lancaster County.

This National Historic Registry of Homes property
was occupied by three generations of the
Hiestand/Vanderslice family from 1887-1989. Sally
Vanderslice McMorris was very helpful in telling
us about the house and shared many photos of her
family with us. We look forward to Sally’s annual
visits, and are looking forward to hosting her
family reunion this year. Though needing much love
and care when we purchased the home, we have
carefully restored it to its original grandeur
featuring five guest rooms in the main house. We
also turned a small building on the property into
luxurious private cottage. Although there are many
antiques and historic photos throughout the house,
all the rooms are appointed with modern guest
comfort in mind featuring luxury linens and baths.

Because of our passion for organic gardening,
guests are served many fresh fruits and vegetables
from local growers and our own garden. We insist
on serving local produce, eggs, roasted coffee and
meats. We love to make delectable goodies, baked
from scratch to serve during breakfast and as
afternoon snacks.

When we aren’t taking care of guests, we are
looking for new attractions around Lancaster or
attending to our new yellow lab pup Quincy (named
after Dallas’s distant relative John Quincy
Adams), and our little grandson Charlie who visits
us regularly on weekdays. Please let us host your
stay in Lancaster County. We will be happy to help
you make the most of everything there is to see
and do here.

Innkeeper’s
Pam and Dallas Fritz
