New Innkeeper Invites You to Historic Inn & Spa at Intercourse Village
"Even if you stay with us for just one night, we want you to feel like you've had a full vacation." That's the philosophy of Carl Kosko, new owner and innkeeper at the Inn & Spa at Intercourse Village. He's now welcoming guests to his distinctive inn to relax, unwind, and get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
With a passion for all things food, Carl started his career in hospitality following culinary school, when he became a chef at an inn in Rockport, Massachusetts. That's where he fell in love with the bed-and-breakfast industry. Years later, this Baltimore native came to Lancaster County to be closer to family and, in 2002, purchased a small, four-bedroom inn in New Holland. With a growing desire to run a larger property to offer his guests a more grand experience, Carl recently completed the purchase of the century-old Inn & Spa at Intercourse Village.
Carl is excited to make his mark on this charming, historic inn that dates back to 1909. Guest rooms and suites – 12 in total – are being meticulously updated to provide guests with a more comfortable stay. As breakfast service resumes, guests will notice an elevated menu from this chef-owner, with offerings such as locally-grown strawberry and rhubarb French toast served with homemade chicken and dried cranberry sausage or a more savory poached eggs served over puff pastry and finished with dill parmesan cream sauce and a side of homemade chicken scrapple.
In June, guests will be able to book relaxing spa services on site, perfect for rejuvenating the body and the soul. There's nothing quite like a therapeutic massage followed by a stay in a luxurious room with jetted tub, steam shower and fireplace. And as he further expands the services offered at the inn, Carl envisions adding a culinary trail and cooking demonstrations, tapping into his experience as a chef and his passion for food.
Carl wants his guests to truly immerse themselves in this Lancaster County destination. At the Inn & Spa at Intercourse Village you're surrounded by the Amish Country's simpler way of living that invites you to take a deep breath and exhale, leaving behind all of the worries from your hectic life. Explore the beautiful countryside and the Amish culture and lifestyle. Even as you enjoy a slower pace, you still have incredible access to fine dining, boutique shopping, and unmatched entertainment. It's the best of both worlds! Carl invites you to come experience it for yourself. You won't be disappointed!
