Why I love Lititz

Cherry Acres

I am sure that I will not even hit half of the reasons why Lititz is such an amazing small town and why so many people put it on their must see list when visiting Lancaster County. Many of our guests come specifically for this quaint town filled with delightful shops, charming cafes, a really wonderful pub and permeated with the smell of chocolate. How can you not love a town that smells like chocolate while you shop?

Cherry Acres

One of my very favorite shops is Cherry Acres right on Main Street. They feature furniture made from old barn wood, enameled sinks, and a wide variety of metal artsy figures that are just plain fun. It is a place that you walk through and each time see something different. My last visit found me leaving with a wonderful old mirror framed in barn wood.

Morton Fine Furniture

Across the street you will find some of the finest furniture you can imagine at Morton Fine Furniture. Works of art, each individual piece is crafted to stand the test of time and beauty, all  from the most beautiuful wood and many designs that are just breathtaking. I am in love with a table he has on display of light wood with darker inlays. There are pieces here that would make wonderful additions to anyone's home.

These are just a few of my favorites. Main Street is lined with many small shops including one at the Moravian Church, a favorite place to purchase Moravian Stars for the holidays.
After all this shopping a break at the Chocolate Cafe for one of their smooth and rich chocolate drinks is just a perfect way to break up the day.  If you are into something stronger the Bull's Head pub just down the way has an impressive array of truly stellar beer on tap.

So, it makes perfect sense to me that the Lititz Businesses called their once a month Friday's with longer hours, "lovin Lititz every Second"!  There is music, food and the shops stay open till 9pm. Why not come join us Friday December 10 for some last minute shopping, in a town decorated to the hilt and with all the charm to match! We are so excited about this event that we are offering 25% off of a 2 night stay December 6-23, 2010.  This kicks off a year of  25's for us as Swiss Woods goes into it's 25th year, but more on that in the next blog.
 Now all we need are a few snow flurries to make it all just ... perfect.
