Best location if competing at Spooky Nook!

You can literally walk to the Nook along a beautiful shaded walking path along beautiful horse pastures. Minutes from Lancaster and tourist attractions. Such a great stay and beautiful property!

Beautiful property amazing stay

I would absolutely recommend and stay again at this beautiful home. I was a little hesitant with meeting the hosts, as I am a bit of an introvert with that kind of stuff, so I usually pick places with contactless entry but they hosts were so kind and helpful and welcoming. Their communication leading up to our stay was amazing. There are steps as they mention leading up to the apartment, but the steps are not steep and easy to climb. The host even helped me carry my bags up the steps ! The apt has a microwave, mini fridge, all supplies to make some hot coffee and they even had some little snacks available. They had hair dryers, flat irons and a hair curler for those who may need it. Towels were plentiful. They got a lot of snow this weekend and Don made sure to communicate with us on when we would be arriving back each evening so he could ensure it was safe and plowed for us ! We want to come back , stay again and explore the beauty of the property and what it has to offer when it’s warm outside ! Although we still did venture to see some of the horses. Thanks for an amazing and comfortable stay!

Perfect!

This home was perfect for our weekend, we were visiting the area to celebrate our daughters 11th birthday and it was our family of 4 plus my parents who stayed here! We were seeing a show at Sight and Sound theater and also visiting Hershey park during our stay so wanted to stay in the middle and this worked great as was about 30 minutes from both places. It was a rainy weekend so we didn't get to explore the property as much as we'd have liked, but it was truly beautiful and felt very at home for us. We have already talked about staying here again as we come every year to see a show at Sight and Sound!

Nookside Stables: A Perfect Retreat for Families

Nookside Stables was a wonderful place to stay during our son's wrestling tournament at Spooky Nook. The trail leading right to Spooky Nook's front door was a delightful surprise - so convenient! My kids loved interacting with the horses. The atmosphere was incredibly peaceful, and the hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed. It truly felt like a home away from home!

Fantastic and Helpful Hosts

We stayed in June 2024 when my daughter had a tournament at Spooky Nook. The hosts gave us easy directions for the 15 minute walk to Spooky and we saved the parking fees. The two bedroom was great for our family of 6. The hosts were so helpful and considerate. We would love to go back in the future!

Nookside Stables

Our family stayed at Nookside Stables for two nights. Upon arrival, Don greeted us and told us about their beautiful property. Our suite was outstanding. It had everything we needed for our family. It was quiet and every window looked out to the fields with the horses grazing, it was absolutely beautiful. On the day we had to leave, we met Kathy and had a chance to share our experiences with her. This VRBO is a wonderful place if you are looking for a quiet, clean, and comfortable place to stay!
