Here is some background on our historic Amish Country Lancaster, Pennsylvania bed and breakfast inn.

Our bed and breakfast inn was built in 1912 and was at one time the residence of the Armstrong Family of the Armstrong tile and flooring business. It was also home for the Leath family who founded the Strasburg Rail Road. Built in the Dutch Colonial style, it is a stately residence for the inn.

The inn boasts 25 years as a successful bed and breakfast, through the caring stewardship of a few different innkeepers. The first two innkeepers, Keith & Laura Dingeldein bought the home in 1987 and established it as the Dingeldein House Bed & Breakfast. Keith was the pastry chef at the Hershey Hotel. Then in 1989, the inn was bought by its second innkeepers, Jack & Sue Flatley. During a visit to Ireland, Jack while looking for his family crest, discovered that the name Flatley had been entered in the heraldry book in error under the name O'Flaherty. In 1993, Jack & Sue changed the name of the inn to O'Flaherty's Dingeldein House.

The Flatleys were the innkeepers from 1989 until 1999 when they sold the inn to the third innkeepers, Danny & Nancy Whittle. The Whittles, coming from Tennessee, incorporated southern hospitality into innkeeping. In January 2006, Danny and Nancy sold the inn to the fourth innkeepers, Dave and Gerry Blaich. The Blaichs moved here from Quakertown, PA where they had resided for nineteen years.  In 2012, the Blaichs decided to pass on the innkeeping torch to the inn's fifth owners, Brad Loman and Keith Jenkins.

Brad and Keith, having moved back east from California, left successful careers to remind themselves of the beauty of tradition and seasons found in the Lancaster region.  They are proud to continue the gracious service to the fine old house and it's always wonderful guests.
