About this property

Mine Ridge House; Buggy watching and farm views. 15 min drive to Sight and Sound

Step back in time!
Take a break from the fast pace of life in the house Abner Smoker built in 1949. The home has recently been restored to highlight its mid-century charm. The brick exterior and solid wood floors throughout speak of an age of stabilty and craftsmanship.
You will be transported to simpler times as you listen to the horse drawn buggies clip-clopping by. Wave to the children going by to their one-room school house just down the road.
You"ll make memories for a lifetime at this unique and family-friendly place.
Situated on the corner of a main Amish throughway and a farm road you will not be disappointed if you like to watch horse & buggies and Amish farm life.
The space;
Park your bags inside the enclosed porch until you have the chance to explore and choose your bedroom in this charmingly restored mid-century cape cod country home.

Open the wood and plate-glass door into the large kitchen and connected dining room. You will appreciate the counter space and island for generous food prep space. The original pine floors radiate a cheerful ambiance.

Gather around the regal dining room table to reconnect with each other during meals.

Unwind in the expansive open living room with large windows flooding the whole area with natural sunshine, highlighting the fascinating natural patterns in original walnut hardwood flooring.
The walnut flooring extends into the first floor bedroom w/ a queen bed and attached half bath.

Take the wide, open stairway into the second floor where you will find two spacious bedrooms and a full bath with a tub and shower.

Bedroom 1 features a King bed, a closet as well as a bistro table with two chairs.
A desk and dresser/vanity provide plenty of surface area for your personal effects or laptop.

Bedroom 2 has a queen bed and a queen sleeper sofa-bed, a closet, a few chairs and a dresser.
Both upstairs bedrooms sport their own TV.

You will be the sole occupants of the house as well as the shaded lawn. A fire pit is avail. to enjoy making s'mores etc..

Ev car charging station 10 min.( 6 miles) from house.
If you need transportation to and from the station contact the host Lavina.

If you book a stay in Sept. when the grapes are ripe you may be able to enjoy some of what we think are the best Concord grapes we ever tasted. The pics of them in the listing were from last years crop. Just spectacular for a possibly 50 yr. old grape vine!

A very neat, clean, carefully decorated cute home in an Amish area. We loved it. Perfect as an extra accommodation for family visiting during the Christmas holiday. Way better than staying in a hotel! Hosts were great!! We will return!

Beautiful Home

Lavina's home is absolutely beautiful. It is in a great location, and offers many amenities. Our children enjoyed the kiddie table with games, puzzles, and coloring books. They also enjoyed watching all the horses go by. We rate this home 10/10.

Wonderful place to explore Lancaster County

We had an incredible at this place! The house is historic and beautifully renovated. The photos are exactly like the listing. All 3 of us got our own bedroom. Lavina is the consummate host - she was very communicative and even gave us a ride the morning of our departure! Could not recommend this place any higher.

Perfect stay

Our stay was to attend a family wedding near by. We were 2 married couples and our 88 year old father. Lavina sent all of the pertinent information ahead of our stay. The house is very comfortable, very clean, and well provisioned. We appreciated the bottled water in the fridge and the coffee.

Immaculate

We had a wonderful stay. It was very cozy and comfortable. The owner thought of everything of what a guess would need. That speaks volume of how the owner thinks and cares about her guest. We truly enjoyed our time and can’t thank them enough in making us feel like if it was our own. Beds were amazing and the sheets were so soft. Truly appreciate it and we can’t wait to come back and stay here in the future.

Lovely

I loved our stay, the only thing that bothered us was that we realized that the water level in the shower on the second floor did not provide much water, even more when the washing machine was being used. I would also recommend that they put a shower in the first floor were is the half bathroom. Because when you are in group of more than 5 people, it takes time to wait for the shower. Otherwise it is an excellent clean house and everything you need is close at hand. Thanks for your so much.

Perfect Getaway in Ronks! Warm, Friendly, Clean, and Convenient!

Our recent stay at this VRBO property in Ronks, Pennsylvania, was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. The warmth and friendliness of our host was evident in every detail, making our stay truly memorable. The house itself was impeccably clean and well-maintained. Every room was spotless, and the decor was both charming and inviting. The beds were incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep after our days of exploring. We especially appreciated the fully equipped kitchen, which had everything we needed to prepare meals for our family. The living area was cozy and perfect for relaxing in the evenings, complete with a selection of books and games. One of the standout features of this property is its unbeatable convenience. Located in the heart of Ronks, we were just minutes away from local attractions such as the Amish Village and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania. We also loved the easy access to quaint shops and delightful restaurants, all within a short drive. The outdoor space was another highlight. We enjoyed peaceful mornings with coffee, taking in the beautiful countryside views and the horse and buggy carriages that passed by. Communication with the hosts was seamless, and they were always available to answer any questions we had, offering great tips on local attractions and dining options in their handy binder. Their hospitality truly made our stay special. Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better place.
