There's a quiet place nestled among the apple and oak trees in the hills just 2 miles south of Ellwood City, where you can see an ostrich dance! The place is BER-NITA ACRES. The ostrich is Alexander, and he loves to dance.
You'll find all this and more at BER-NITA BED & BREAKFAST, an 1860's country farmhouse comfortably furnished for your rest and relaxation, situated in rural North Sewickley Township, 1/4 mile off PA Route 65 in northern Beaver County.
The family farm is 92 acres, and inhabited by alpacas, a mini-horse with cart, ostriches, sheep, beef cattle and chickens, not to mention dogs and cats and the ducks and geese which return every year to live on the three ponds. The ponds are spring fed, well stocked, and accommodate Bass and Blue Gill for excellent fishing. Fun for the kids to dig worms and throw a line in! Since we seasonally incubate and hatch ostrich eggs (March - September), and grow out our chicks to full size, we usually have many ostriches for your viewing.
The farmhouse at BER-NITA ACRES, where proprietor Juanita Martin and her husband, Jim Eriser, live and the guests stay, is a big old fashioned home almost 150 years old, but comes with many modern upkeeps and additions, like the big outdoor deck which overlooks the farm. The house has city water, natural gas and cable TV - & no smoking.
There are three bedrooms on the second floor where guests stay. The rooms have that old fashioned feel to them, each with a wood frame bed (2 queens & 1 full), and checkered quilt covering them. It's quaint and quiet -- no TV or phones upstairs.
Crib/mattress/bedding will be furnished. We require a deposit to hold rooms, and accept checks, MC, Visa, or Discover. Seven (7) day cancellation notice is required to receive full deposit refund. No refunds for early departures.
There is a TV - along with a VCR/DVD and a large selection of movies - in the large family room which the family shares with the guests. The room is capable of seating over 20 people comfortably and is decorated with a number of Juanita's paintings, and a tree decorated in accordance with the current season or holiday.
