We had a wonderful long weekend at this beautiful cottage! We loved seeing the buggy’s go right by the house. Truly nestled in the heart of Amish country. Cleanliness was top notch. We loved the complimentary snacks and baked goods. We will be back!

Loved the house. Comfortable, clean. Would rent again. Only disadvantage is how close it is to the road and how noisy it gets.

Fabric Shopping Getaway

RuthAnn's home was the perfect retreat at the end of a day of fabric shopping for my friend and I. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. The back deck was the perfect place to discuss our fabric purchases, look over patterns, talk about the day and make plans for the next. We hope to return to Paradise Cottage next year!

Heart of Amish Country

A wonderful and comfortable home. The picture window gave us views of the beautiful horse and buggies passing by. The location was perfect for our visit to Sight & Sound Theatre as well as to to wolf sanctuary and trip into the town of Lititz and dinner on the train. So much to do and enjoy.

The cottage was lovely and so well appointed. The freshly baked cookies were a wonderful treat. All the communication with RuthAnn was great. There's no TV, but that didn't bother us. We played a few hands of cards and had some nice family time.

Great place to stay!

My friends and I stayed here for one night while visiting a friend in the area. The location is great as it is close to many small towns with things to do and places to see. The house was exceptionally clean, organized, and well stocked. Parking was a little "tricky" as the house sits close to the road on a hillside, but there was plenty of room to park our SUV and take our luggage in and out of the house. I would highly recommend this home for your next vacation or get-away.

This met all of our needs and wants. Everything was well thought out and nicecities like the snacks were a bonus. The only down side was being right on the road, but it was still quiet and peaceful.

The property is clean, comfy and well maintained. We enjoyed relaxing on the nice deck. It had everything you would need. Communication with the owner was great. The delicious scones and snacks were a nice added touch. It is on a busy road, but still in a quiet neighborhood.

Slice of Paradise in Paradise!

What an incredibly lovely place with so many comfortable furnishings and special treats. Listen for the clip clop of the Amish buggies that frequent the road just outside the front door or watch the serene beauty of the sunrise on the back porch. Close to the city but far enough away to enjoy the countryside. I would have stayed longer if it was possible and will definitely look forward to going back.

Exactly as shown !

This was one of the best VRBO places I've ever been in. Immaculately clean, exactly as the pictures. No crazy rules, just the normal ones, there was parking right there. My only thing I thought about was, if you were going to stay a week or more, there isn't laundry facilities. That was it. The bathrooms were updated, very nice kitchen, all the amenities. Good linens, I was very very satisified.

Just what we needed

My family is working through a health crisis with one of my siblings. We traveled from NY to PA for one night on a holiday (totally blessed by this scheduling flexibility) to visit Longwood Gardens and Sight and Sound. When we walked into this house to see God's word everywhere and no tv's, our hearts were deeply touched. Thank you, RuthAnn!! God is using you in huge ways!! Praise Him :)
