Lovely place and wonderful people

We stayed at the property as a small trip to the sight and sound theater. The place was amazing and the owners were super kind! They even allowed me access after the stay when I forgot a very important necklace inside. Amazing people!

A beautiful area and a great home for our stay

We loved this guest house for our brief stay. The home was lovely, and very private. We were very happy to have a place just a bit off the beaten path for a night on our journey. We highly recommend it!

Peaceful

This is the second year that we’ve stayed here. This year was even better than the last because the weather was perfect for porch sitting and being entertained by the chickens and guineas 🙂 Very clean and had everything that we needed for a relaxing stay. Beautiful countryside but still close to shopping and restaurants.

Great place to stay

Great place to stay, had another couple with us so we each had a full bath room and bed room on each end of the mobile home. Stayed for six nights out in the country, quiet, clean, waking up to the roaster crowing. Enjoyed talking to Barbara for a while.

Country getaway

The property was charming and quiet. We enjoyed the country setting in the middle of Amish country. The livestock and local gardens added to the country feel. This is a great place for a couple or a family.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Stoltzfus

Host profile image
Simeon and Barbara both grew up in Lancaster county and went to the local amish one room school.
In the year 2000 Simeon & Barbara and Simeon's brother and sister in law bought the 12 acre farm together (which included a house and Mobile home) where they both lived until brother and sister in law bought the land next door and built a new house.
Note : the existing mobile home had been replaced with a new one in 2006.

Why they chose this property

This property was land joining to Barbara's parents farm at the time, and a great location right next to the Lancaster county line

What makes this property unique

This property was a fixer upper and a great country setting where we could raise our family and have a large vegetable garden and a animals . etc.
