Olde Square Inn – The perfect place to get away!
The Inn
This three-story brick Colonial Revival home was built in the early 1920s by Howard G. Longenecker, a prominent Mount Joy citizen who made his money in banking and tobacco. A family home for years, it later was a boarding house for male teachers in the 1950s and 60s before becoming the bed and breakfast it is today.
The building still retains its distinctive architectural features including original doors, thick mouldings and columns, built-in cabinets, and even a butler’s call station in the kitchen. Although you can still see the call buttons in the rooms, the bells are no longer connected to the kitchen, much to the delight of the innkeeper!

Meet Your Innkeeper
Olde Square Inn Innkeeper with a green apron holding a piece of strudel
In its 30+ years as a lodging, I am delighted to be the third Innkeeper at Olde Square Inn. Becoming its caretaker has been the fulfillment of a life-long dream. Before purchasing the Inn, I had a wonderful career in teaching. For 24 Septembers I led fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth grade students in a variety of studies – including Home Ec!
I’ve enjoyed creating a warm and inviting escape for you. You can revel in some much-needed relaxation at the Inn, then take some time to go out and explore. As long-time Lancaster County resident, I have my finger on the best things to see and do in the area. I am passionate about guiding you in making the most of your stay.
Among its many awards, Olde Square Inn has been voted the #1 Bed and Breakfast in Lancaster County on Trip Advisor. We continue to earn 5 Stars for excellent customer service each year. Our Inn was featured as the cover story for Inns and B&Bs of Lancaster County and in Lancaster County Magazine was touted as a great venue for elopements and intimate weddings.
So what does an Innkeeper do when she’s not busy keeping an Inn? If I’m not trying out new recipes for my live cooking demos, you can find me with the grandkids, reading through a stack of books, or enjoying the company of friends.
I am so happy to invite you to become part of the Olde Square Inn family!
