Bill and Lynne are extraordinary hosts as this B&B is beautifully maintained (exterior/interior); seven course breakfast is fresh from the garden, nutritious, delicious, exquisitely presented, and enjoyable with great conversation/hospitality; recommended trips to neighboring Amish museum and tour are both educational and relaxing. My mom and I initially made reservations for a weekend retreat at this quaint B&B in the... More

Outstanding rooms, service, everything. I would highly recommend to anyone staying in the Arcola area.

As a Guest in the Flower Patch on May Day, I enjoyed a special treat: visits from school children who had been invited to the Flower Patch garden to search for fairy houses. All in good childhood fun, each year on May Day, My husband and I discovered the Flower Patch twenty years ago and stayed there every year attending... More

Breakfast was not my cup of tea (lots of veggies, and flowers and herbs from the garden) where... More

We stayed in a beautiful room that had a huge arch window that overlooked the gardens in the back yard. All of the food was wonderful, each dish was decorated with flowers, herbs and greenery from the garden and served on delicate china. The white iron bed was perfect and comfortable. This was a perfect place for the weary travelers... More

The Flower Patch and Diamond House B&B's (side by side) are quite a surprise to find in this little berg. Very pretty, nice gardens - and the breakfast is very special with some unique - and delicious - dishes prepared by your host. Don't worry, you will get your Amish sausage along with lots of fruit and vegetables, nice baked... More
