Lancaster Getaway

My husband and I couldn’t i’ve been happier with this day at this beautiful cottage. It was the perfect getaway for us with lovely simplicity in our busy lives. Everything was seamless as far as the process during our stay, the property was beautifully located, the cottage just wonderful inside and out, and I am grateful for having had the time and opportunity to stay here.

Modern 1700s

Our stay was absolutely lovely! The only downfall was the water from the sinks; the hot water took some time to warm up but when it did it was scalding hot. Other than that the home is beautifully renovated, pretty spacious and comfortable and even super quiet. It felt home-y without it being our home, I hope to come back here in the future.

Authentic cottage in the country

For anyone looking for an authentic 1700 cottage stay in Amish country - you have found your location! Our stay was perfection from the moment we booked. Our host was accommodating above compare. He gave us local recommendations, left us homemade cookies to enjoy and even let us check in a bit early before our tickets for Sight and Sound theatre which was close by. We took another couple with us and both couples had appropriate privacy for sleeping, even with the authentic plank floors upstairs. The property is not ‘fancy’ but, instead, cozy and authentic. For those coming from ‘city’ living, just keep in mind that you are truly in the country with regular country sounds and smells. We can’t wait to plan our return trip for next year.

Serene getaway

This was our third time staying here. The house has everything you need. It is located central to all that we do. The location in the quiet countryside, (without all the noisy neighbors that I have at home) is what keeps me coming back. A real chance to tune out and relax.

Cozy cottage near Strasburg

We spent a weekend with our two young kids. There was plenty of space for the four of us and everyone loved the place. The outdoor area was nice for hanging and playing after we got back each day. Although we didn't cook much, the kitchen was nice and well-equipped. We spent most days out and about in nearby Strasburg and Lancaster, and it was great having a place so nearby everything. We will definitely come back!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautifully restored cabin so much! Very comfortable for our family of five. Thoughtful touches all throughout, comfortable beds and perfect location. We enjoyed making s’mores by the fire and watching the horse and buggies go by. We were so sad to leave. Thank you!!
