Introduction
Kilburnie is a unique Bed & Breakfast with the aura of a small private hotel. Experience European-laced Southern hospitality and be at home in this tranquil, elegant, and spacious antebellum hide-out. All bathrooms feature hydro therapy whirlpools for ultimate relaxation.
Kilburnie is located just north of Lancaster, yet guests arriving at the
inn always comment about the immediate sense of being on a country estate. Kilburnie (1828) and Craig House (1834) located across the road, are both national registered historical properties situated on historic Craig Farm. Guests love the tranquility and sophistication of this luxurious Bed and Breakfast which is equipped with all modern conveniences one would expect of an upscale property including wireless high speed internet connections.
Guest Parlor
A faithfully restored Greek revival style antebellum home, Kilburnie is furnished with antiques and stylish reproduction furniture. The Inn’s heart pine floors are strewn with Persian rugs. The house features a significant collection of historic prints and paintings and each of its five bedrooms (all with fireplaces and private baths) bears the name of individuals who made a mark on the region’s and nation’s history.

Kilburnie is nestled amid woodlands, fields, and pastures where cattle and horses graze. Behind the inn is a nature path, which leads through the woodland where guests can stroll to enjoy the wildlife backyard habitat. Bridges spanning the branches make discovering the woods fun.
The Innkeeper, Johannes Tromp, is a European trained chef, who emigrated from Holland to the USA in 1973. He owned and operated a catering & special events business in Beverly Hills, CA. After moving to Manhattan in 1979, he became Director of Catering at the Rainbow Room on top of Rockefeller Center and later General Manager of Windows on the World, which was located on top of the now destroyed World Trade Center. He enjoys his role as innkeeper, which combines his past professional experiences with his love for food & hospitality.
Breakfast at Kilburnie, prepared and served by Johannes is unsurpassed.
Waking up one might smell the freshly baked bread and muffins, which
accompany the two-course feast. The first course usually consists of a fruit appetizer such as his Poached Pears with Blueberries, his Southern Pecan Peaches, or maybe broiled Grapefruit. The Main course could be Oven Shirred Eggs, Herbed Goat Cheese Omelets, or any other egg dish he is inspired to create each morning. The coffee served by Johannes is rich and aromatic.
Full gourmet breakfast is served daily.
All Guest Rooms at Kilburnie feature working fireplaces with comfy fire-side high back chairs, and spacious private bath rooms - all with hydro therapy whirlpools and separate shower enclosures. The Jackson and Davie rooms even have fireplaces in the bathrooms.
