Family Stay

We enjoyed being able to stay in a home that allowed our family to stay in one location. There were plenty of rooms for us. We also enjoyed being able to enjoy watching movies together in the living room and sharing meals in the dining room.

This house was perfect for our low maintenance bachelorette party. With 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a kitchen stocked with all the tools we needed, we were able to gather and relax. The hosts are amazing- so nice and responsive. 3

Great for extended family

We had a lovely visit with my parents, kids, aunt and uncle. The house was cozy and clean and big enough for 11 of us to spread out, even though we spent most of our time visiting in the large kitchen around the table. It was the perfect setting for our after-Christmas family trip to sight and sound theater. Thank you for the delicious gingerbread cookies. Highly recommend this home to large families. We would love to come visit again next year!

Family Christmas in Amish Country

We were a family of ten: grandparents, parents, and children who chose this house as our place to celebrate Christmas a few days after the holiday itself. The location is great, convenient to attractions in Lancaster County. The house is spacious and well kept. We were given a warm welcome, which included some home-made treats left for us on our arrival. We appreciate that all of the linens are supplied and we did not need to wash them before our departure. We would seriously consider booking this house again for another holiday gathering. Thank you to our VRBO hosts!

This was a wonderful experience for us. The house was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and made you feel like you were coming home whenever arriving back after an outing.

This is one of the best properties I've ever stayed in. The owner John and his parents were so obliging. They left us delicious whoopie pies and were so available to help us when we first arrived. The house is large, clean, and comfortable. Wr loved sitting around the dining table chatting and just enjoying our time together. Will definitely be back if I can.
