About this property

Historic Hideout - Unique Getaway in Amish Country with HOT TUB

Looking for a one of a kind place to make memories with your group? Look no further! Remodeled Historic Farmhouse built in the 1700's by early settlers of Paradise. Brought back to life with modern touches and conveniences - all located centrally between Intercourse, Paradise, Bird in Hand and Strasburg. We are also 45 minutes from Hershey Park! A truly unique place to stay that has tons of character! Right next door to our other listing called "Paradise Place"-Perfect for Family gatherings!

The Space:
Come stay in a part of Paradise History! This home was built back in the late 1700's and has since been a residence. We have turned it into a place for guests to come and stay to enjoy the area and the home. It is a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home.

Its an old house with a lot of charm and character. Expect era correct doors and door handles, live wood beams and real stone walls all with modern touches like central air to bring it into the 21st century.

This home hosts four bedrooms with 5 queen beds and one sleeper sofa - One basement bedroom, with the remainder of the bedrooms upstairs. One bathroom on the main floor, with the other two bathrooms upstairs. All three bathrooms are full baths to accommodate guests. Entry to Kitchen and dining area is on main floor, with stairs up and down for bedroom areas.

Perfect for groups with plenty of room to gather inside and out, yet plenty of spaces to "get away" and have privacy.

This home may be old but it has new windows, updated air conditioning, a modern farmhouse kitchen, modern plumbing and electric, and everything necessary to host a group comfortably!

We are 45 minutes from Hershey park, and only 10 minutes from Sight and Sound, Dutch Wonderland, and Cherry Crest adventure farm. So much to do so close!

Labor Day weekend trip

Very nice home just minutes away from Dutch Wonderland, Tanger and Rockvale Outlets and all of the other Lancaster attractions. The home was very clean and just as advertised in the listing. We definitely recommend staying at this home and look forward to renting it again in the future.

The stay was very nice and the facility was quaint and old. Everything worked well except the water pressure and two of the three TVs did not work. I would recommend people staying here.

Amish Get-Away

Very historical, homey destination. Ample space to spread out in different areas or be together for tv or games or visiting. Conveniently located to shopping and restaurants. Outside space is beautifully landscaped with large yard, patio with swing, fire pit, large table…Great for morning coffee or evening time together lit up with string lights! Well-stocked kitchen, nice appliances, large farm table with plenty of space for a large family. If we return again next year for Sights and Sounds, we’d like to rent again!

Spooky Nook Get away

We were 3 dads and their teenage boys in for 🏀 tournament from Boston. Approx 30 min away and provided very relaxing, clean, and comfortable home. A farmhouse atmosphere but with updates/renovated bathrooms and kitchen, and the tired out boys loved the hot tub. The kitchen was so accommodating for the couple of dinners we made at home. Thank you for sharing your home via VRBO!

Wonderful location and fantastic hosts. This house is been updated and you won’t be disappointed. I won’t nit pick because there were some things that I’m sure the owner will be addressing but all in all a great stay and would book again.

Beautiful renovated home outside of Lancaster

This home was just the right size for our family of ten. The kitchen area with island was easy to work in and the dining area had plenty of room for us. The two sitting areas on the first floor were great for children and adults. The bedrooms were all a good size. Everything was updated and nicely furnished. The patio area and hot tub were a plus

Plenty of room / great location

This is a very nice house! Only 10 minutes from Sight and Sound and train museum. Comfortably slept 12 with use of a very nice rollaway bed. My mattress was a little dated but just fine. The hot tub is a nice touch after a long day out and about. Oh, hit the “jet” button twice for harder intensity. If you have younger children, bring your own toys although the house was quite kid friendly except for the stairs. We did find a child gate later on. We loved the fact that all of us could sit at the main table together for dinner. If we go back to the area, we will definitely look to see if the place is available again. Thanks!

Charming

We really enjoyed our time at this home. Plenty of space. Very cozy and welcoming. Love the charm of this 1700s home. We were close to everything that we wanted to be close to. The only items I would suggest attention to are: the ice machine was incredibly slow. Buy a bag of ice on your way into town. Also, only 1 garbage bag was not enough for our stay. Lastly the hot tub was a nice bonus, but it had tons of foam and was very cloudy and smelled strongly of chemicals. All in all we absolutely loved this home. Thanks for having us.

Amazing rental

We had a great new years weekend stay at this property. Our group was large, and included 7 small children and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house was extremely clean, well stocked and welcoming, just like the pictures. The hot tub and outdoor patio area was an awesome bonus as well. The location was close to many nearby attractions and communication with the homeowners was great, they were very responsive and helpful when I reached out to them before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this rental for anyone looking to stay near Lancaster attractions. I hope to be able to return one day!

Well appointed cozy home

It was nice to have a welcome sign with our name on it when we arrived. The property was very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you could imagine to help cook whatever you were cooking. The beds were comfortable and there were extra pillows and blankets. The lighting in the bathroom and in the kitchen area could be brighter and The steps going up to the bedrooms were a little hard to navigate. Overall, this home was a delight to stay at And the owner was very easy to work with. It made for the perfect cozy getaway to Lancaster. The location is close to everything as well.

Lovely weekend!

We had a lovely weekend and appreciated the coziness of this home. The beds we’re comfortable and we enjoyed the special touches that the owners shared through the offered inventory of tea bags, Lancaster coffee and local soft drinks. A couple of things you might want to check into…there were small ants in the dishwasher both times prior to running, a new can opener would be beneficial, and we had difficulty getting the bottom of the blender out of the blender base. Thanks for a wonderful opportunity to spend time with friends of almost 50 years!

No Better Place To Make Memories!

This was the second year my husband and I booked this property for a long weekend getaway with our children/spouses and grandchildren. The property is an 1850 stone home that kept many of the antique elements in tact, such as some interior doors with unique orig hardware, yet all the needed modern amenities. There is a large grassy yard for the children to play & a patio with a gas fire pit, Adirondack chairs & picnic table for the adults to relax. The location was central to all, house was clean & well maintained, with comfortable beds. A child gate was in the upstairs closet that was helpful to block off the stairs at night for our littlest one traveling with us. Another thoughtful touch for those, was the Easter/Spring decor on the beautifully set dining room table, mantle in the kitchen & a couple of Happy Easter pillows in the den. Little details mean a lot. The host was prompt in response to contact & our family would recommend this home to others.
