The Log Cabin is located in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch country, rich in history and scenic beauty, just above one of Lancaster County’s famous covered bridges. There is a belief among many of the Dutch folks that to kiss under one of these bridges will bring health and good luck.
The site where The Log Cabin stands was occupied by Nanticote Indians as recently as 1860 and is all that remains of the Lehoy Forest. Tall oak trees still surround this location, and several Amish farms and an Amish School are “chust” down the road.
The restaurant is a short distance off routes 222 and 272, approximately half-way between the City of Lancaster and Ephrata:
From York and other points west, take Route 30 East to 222 North. After three miles, take the Oregon Pike Exit and follow the signs to 272 North. Once on 272 North, proceed 1.7 miles to the large Log Cabin sign on the left at Rose Hill Road. Turn left on Rose Hill Road and go .5 of a mile to Log Cabin Road. Turn left on Log Cabin Road, go through the “kissing” covered bridge, and then .4 of a mile up a hill to Lehoy Forest Drive. Turn left on Lehoy Forest Drive. The Log Cabin is one block down at the end of Lehoy Forest Drive.
From Downingtown and other points east, take Route 30 East to 222 North and then pick up the same directions as above.
From either direction on the Pennsylvania Turnpike, I- 76, exit at the Lancaster/Reading Exit onto 222 South. Proceed 9.3 miles to the PA 772 Brownstown/Rothsville Exit. Turn right at the bottom of the exit ramp and then left at the light onto the Oregon Pike/272 South. Drive one mile to the large Log Cabin sign on the right at Rose Hill Road. Turn right onto Rose Hill Road and follow the same directions as above.
From Reading, take 222 South towards Lancaster. When you get to the PA Turnpike, follow the directions from the PA Turnpike above.
Alternate route for buses and in case of poor weather conditions, the area surrounding the covered bridge may flood during periods of extremely heavy rain, and the bridge itself cannot be used by buses, delivery trucks, or high clearance vehicles. In these circumstances, follow the directions above up until you are on Oregon Pike/272. From the north, continue past Rose Hill Road for 1 mile until you reach a Hess gas station and turn right onto Oregon Road. From the south, you will turn left onto Oregon Road at this Hess station 1 mile before Rose Hill Road. Turn right onto Becker Road after 300 feet. Continue on Becker Road for 1.5 miles until you reach Log Cabin Road. Turn right onto Log Cabin Road and continue for 1 mile until you reach Lehoy Forest Drive. The Log Cabin is one block down at the end of Lehoy Forest Drive.
