The Alden House

Celebrating 30 Years of In-town Elegance

Welcome to the Alden House Bed and Breakfast! Our 1850 Federal style house, located in Historic Downtown Lititz, exemplifies in-town elegance. Whether you want a restful, romantic getaway, an comfortable inn from which to explore our Coolest Small Town or a convenient home-away-from-home to explore further afield, check out our Rooms & Amenities to see if we can meet your needs.

The Inn

The Alden House has been professionally restored with modern amenities while retaining its original charm. We have cozy, standard rooms and spacious suites, as well as the Carriage House. Each guest room has its own unique décor and appeal. All of them have private baths. To the rear of the inn, we have private parking, which leads to our peaceful garden including a patio by a small pond and fountain. There are three porches for relaxing or watching life on Main Street—parades, shoppers, dog-walkers or the occasional Amish buggy.

We provide a full, hot breakfast that includes coffee, tea and juice; fresh fruit; main dish with local meat on the side; muffins or pastry; and dessert. We try to accommodate special dietary needs with advance notice. For the convenience of our guests, snacks and hot and cold beverages are always available. Look for the Wilbur Buds in the candy dish near the front door.

Lititz

The town was established as a Moravian community in 1756. The Lititz Moravian Congregation is still very active, their Christmas Love Feast services drawing many people. There is also Linden Hall, the oldest girls boarding and day school in the country. The Moravian cemetery has General Sutter’s grave. For more history of the town, people can tour the Johannes Mueller House, the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery and the Lititz Historical Foundation. There are many retail shops including Wilbur Chocolate, antique shops and specialty shops. And, Lititz Springs Park hosts many events.

A Little Further Afield:

Not too far away there is Kitchen Kettle Village, Rockvale and Tanger Outlets, Strasburg Rail Road, Sight and Sound Theatres and Middle Creek Wildlife Management Area.

A Little Further Still:

For day trips, Hershey Outlets and Hershey attractions as well as Gettysburg Battlefield are good choices.
