About this property

A spacious upstairs apartment in an outback, peaceful setting in farm country.

The guesthouse is a nice, spacious upstairs apartment in newly built home on a quiet back country road surrounded by fields & forest. We are located in the heart of Amish country in Lancaster County away from the hustle and bustle, where you will hear the sound of horse and buggies. There is a one room school house a short walk up the road. You can watch the school children walking to school every morning while school is in session.
You will enter the front entrance into private foyer to upstairs. It is a private area on the second floor with two bedrooms, a queen bed in each. The sitting area includes 2 full sofas, one folds down to a bed. Also a dormer with a single sofa bed. The kitchen is made with old barn wood from the family farm. It includes an apartment sized fridge, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, electric skillet, a table which seats 6 people.
A large flatscreen TV is in the sitting area. It is not connected to cable TV but is connected to the WIFI giving you access to many of the popular streaming sites. You will need to provide your own login credentials for subscription based streaming platforms.
The entrance has a keypad for easy come and go without needing a key.

Rural retreat
A quiet, upstairs, 2 bedroom apartment a wee bit out of town. It suited us perfectly. At one stage there was the clip clop of horse's hooves as an Amish wagon went by.

Peaceful Time of R&R
We were looking to just get away for a few days, and this place was perfect. We love the Lancaster area and the location was close enough to the places we like to go, but far enough to have peace and quiet. The apartment was nicely furnished and had everything we needed for our stay. My husband really enjoyed the home made cookies! It was a pleasure to meet and talk to Charlotte and her husband. We highly recommend.

What a lovely weekend stay
This is one of the nicest properties that we have stayed at through VRBO. The upstairs apartment was so lovely and had everything that we needed for our weekend stay. The host met us when we arrived and she was kind enough to leave a plate of cookies for us, which was a very nice touch. I hope to come back for other visits to Lancaster and stay here again.

Wonderful Hosts!
Upon our arrival, we were kindly greeted and welcomed by the property hosts. We were surprised with fresh baked chocolate chip cookies waiting for us on the kitchen counter of the rental apartment! This home is in the perfect location for a peaceful and relaxing stay in Amish country. The home is spacious, clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. It is the perfect rental for a girls' trip or a family trip! The property hosts respected our privacy throughout our trip but made a point to approach us for a friendly goodbye upon our departure. We enjoyed getting to know the hosts and appreciated their kindness and hospitality. We would recommend this rental to anyone and hope to book it again the next time we plan a girls' family trip!!

Hideaway
The pictures for this property does no justice to the beauty and peacefulness of the property. The indoor as well as outdoor is just what tired minds need. The outdoor is great for family activities yet peaceful enough to fall asleep in the Adirondack chairs by the fire pit. It indoor was clean, orderly with the right amount of home comfort to feel right at time. We're looking forward to coming again!!! would wxpect

About the host

Hosted by Charlotte Wenger

Host profile image
As Mennonites, we have lived all but two years of our married life, and raised our four children on the farm, 42 years. Just this past year we built a new house up the road and daughter, son-in-law & 6 children moved on the farm. Elvin will continue to work on the farm with the family. We have been blessed with 4 children, all married and now have 25 grandchildren. Two of our daughters live close by, another daughter lives in Indiana where her husband is administrator of Elnora Bible Institute and our son lives in Alaska working in mission aviation for MARC (mission aviation repair center). We are so thankful to have the farm stay in the family.

Why they chose this property

This property is a very peaceful, quiet getaway, yet not far to local attractions. Kitchen Kettle in small town of Intercourse is only 15 min drive through rolling farm back country roads. Sight & Sound is 30 min. away where you can see the Bible come alive with professional actors. Also have outlet shopping about half hour away.
