The vacation suites at The Smucker House are located in the heart of Amish Country, just minutes away from the quaint village of Intercourse, PA.

At The Smucker House you'll be surrounded by rural farmland and acres of lawn, with our Amish neighbors living next door. Our spacious backyard features a large gazebo - perfect for picnics. You are invited to stroll through perennial gardens, bursting with color in the summer months, or relax in the hammock and just unwind. We offer plenty of safe, off-street parking with room for RVs, boat trailers and other large vehicles. 

There are many great Lancaster County attractions within minutes of our location: Kitchen Kettle, Strasburg Railroad, Dutch Wonderland, Amish Quilt Shops, Rockvale and Tanger Outlet Malls, Sight and Sound Millenium Theatre, Buggy Rides, Hot Air Balloon Rides, Shady Maple Smorgasboard, as well as many other fine restaurants featuring Amish cooking and local favorites. And of course, our very own Corner Coffee Shop and furniture/home décor store, The Treasure Place, in “Down-town Intercourse!”

Carl & Fan Smucker

For over 30 years, Carl & Fan have lived in a house on an adjoining property, next to Carl's mother. Over the years, the two properties have merged and Carl & Fan purchased her property after she passed away on 2012. It is a rural location, surrounded by Amish neighbors and acres of lawn, as the property sets adjacent to soccer fields which belong to the local school. A spacious backyard features a large gazebo, perfect for picnics, and a play set with slides and swings. You are invited to stroll through perennial gardens, bursting with color in the Summer, or relax in the hammock and just unwind.

Back in 2009, The Smuckers built a small "Hideaway" space under their existing home and enjoyed the interaction with guests so much that they decided to create another guest space on the same property! in 2011 Carl & Fan transformed a large out-building into a spacious apartment called the “Carriage House”, with easy access and ample parking for RV's and other large vehicles. The Hideaway and Carriage House are located just a few miles from the little tourist Village of Intercourse, but are far enough away from the hustle and bustle of town to allow guests to enjoy the peacefulness of the countryside.
