About this property

Summerhouse Cottage-style Home on Peaceful Lancaster Co. Farm-RECENTLY UPDATED

This rental is situated on a peaceful, Lancaster County family farm tucked away from the noise and busyness of everyday life. You would be staying in a newly remodeled two-story "summerhouse" that includes modern conveniences without losing the character of the 18th century charm. It is a private home that includes a king bedroom, full bath and loft area on the second floor; a queen bedroom and half-bath on the first floor along with a living/eat-in kitchen area. The summerhouse is located next to the farm house.

You decide how you want to spend your day - "Rest, Relax, Renew". Enjoy fishing in the pond (catch and release, bring your own supplies) while heifers, sheep and goats graze nearby or take a walk down the long farm lane. Relax on the side porch, sip your tea or coffee while overlooking the countryside. Many other amenities listed below.

One adult must be over the age of 25.

Local attractions include Hersheypark, Lancaster County Amish Country, Mt. Gretna, Gettysburg, Spooky Nook Sports Complex, bike trails along the Conewago Trail, and much more. Minutes from grocery stores, parks, and medical facility and Elizabethtown College. Convenient to Airport and minutes from several unique wedding venues including Ironstone Ranch, Harvest View Barn and Moonstone Manor.

We look forward to making this a memorable stay for you.

Can’t wait to go back!

This was our second time staying at this beautiful cottage and we can’t wait to go back again next year. The location is peaceful, the cottage is clean and very comfy, and it’s near many great restaurants and only a short drive (15-20 min) to Hershey Park. If you’re looking for a unique place to stay, I highly recommend this cottage!

Great little cottage for our family vacation. Cottage was very cool. It was full of character and charm. We really enjoyed our stay. Definitely a must stay when you're visiting Hershey. We also visited Gettysburg which was an hour away. Wish we could have stayed longer.

An adorable farmhouse getaway

My family of 5 was in the Hershey area for a lacrosse tournament and wanted to stay off the beaten path a bit. The summerhouse delivered! We really enjoyed our stay and the hosts were wonderful, even lending us a beach tent and some chairs for a very hot day of lacrosse. The drive into Hershey was a convenient 15-20 minutes, and we loved all that Hershey had to offer.

Lovely stay on peaceful farm

We had a great stay over the Easter weekend. The cottage is about 20 min from Hershey Park which is where the kids wanted to visit - they loved making their own chocolate and all the rides in the amusement park. The cottage provided a calm and peaceful stay. There are two bedrooms sleeping 4 people, and the other two beds are on the landing near the main bedroom - most suited for kids. We had a lovely stay, thank you for the hospitality.

About the host

Hosted by Mim

Host profile image
We were high school sweethearts and married soon after graduation. We have enjoyed living on the farm ever since and it was a great place to raise our 3 children, all of whom are now married.

The farm's lineage has been traced to a deed signed in 1750 and we're passionate about the family farm as an integral part of the fabric of our nation. We really see ourselves as stewards. We have such a connection to the farmland, and that in turn translates into a God connection. We value where the land came from. There's no more being created, and it as a treasure. We have a responsibility to it.

As a family-owned and operated business, the Miller Homestead, up until 2012, was a dairy farm. We grow corn, hay, soybeans and barley.

We enjoy traveling and often stay in vacation rentals in out of the way places.

The Miller Homestead is located within easy highway access to Lancaster, York, Harrisburg or Philadelphia, providing many options for day trips.

What makes this property unique

The farm is in a quiet location yet easy access to stores and attractions. We are situated close to bicycle and walking trails. The farm pond is available for "catch and release"
fishing. A tranquil one mile long farm lane lends itself to taking off-road walks.
