Return stay

This was a second stay for us and the property was as nice as the first time. It was a great place to gather with family. Communication with the property manager was a bit lacking. I requested early check-in, which was apparently approved, but the manager never communiated that with me, which made for a VERY stressful travel day.

Time Away

The house in itself was great. Having a fenced in yard was very helpful when you travel with dogs. My dogs love to go on long walks off leash and we could not do that since we were in a neighborhood but that was my fault when booking. House amenities were great. We had an issue with the gas fireplace but the owners took care of it immediately. Our biggest complaint was how truly uncomfortable the living room furniture was. To spend all these days sitting and reading and enjoying the fire was lost by how uncomfortable the couch was. You sank into it and since the chaise was moved the couch had only one arm. Highly recommend getting a couple of recliners in there in order to enjoy the living room

Holiday stay

Stayed here to visit family over Christmas. House fulfilled our needs and was clean overall. Proximity to Lancaster City and shopping areas is wonderful. Development is great for waking and there is a lovely park with a playground nearby.

Lovely home

We stayed here for a weekend baseball tournament. The house was very clean and had many thoughtful touches for guests. We arrived in the dark and had a minor issue with check in but the owner was very responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Great place to stay.

The Inviting Lancaster Vacation Home was just that! We had a marvelous time staying at this property. We even managed to get in some pool time. The home was immaculately clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was there, in fact, we kept finding more amenities each day. There were even menus for local places at our disposal. The owners really thought of everything. We are so grateful for this house. It was in a quiet neighborhood and close to everything in the area. I will say, though we opted not to bring our dog, there was even a cabinet full of supplies for those who do. They just thought of everything.

Relaxing oasis

We were 2 couples looking for a low key long weekend. This house was just what we were looking for, especially the pool. We enjoyed meals and cocktails outside, it was great. Inside was perfect for 2 couples and the air conditioning worked great.

A homey place to stay

We came here for our son's swimming championship meet @ Franklin & Marshall College. This is our first time to stay in a house instead of team hotel (good discount), but we think it worth every dollar we spent. The spread out lay out gave each of us space, and I could watch my NBA games downstairs without disturbing others. I only prepared simple breakfast for kid, but did find the kitchen is fully loaded with supplies. Since my son needed afternoon's nap before the evening's final, it would be nicer to have blinds or dark color curtains to black out the light. Overall, we like the place so much and would be our go-to choice in Lancaster!

Will do in a pinch

Our stay wasn't a disaster, although it could have been. We were there in winter and the in-ground pool was not properly covered. The cover sagged in the middle and was filled with icy water at least 3 or 4 feet deep. The listing noted that the pool was not fenced, but it should have been properly covered in winter. Our small dog ran onto the cover and promptly sank out of sight. Fortunately, it managed to dog-paddle to the edge, and my wife pulled him to safety. There were other small issues: the location was about 100 yards from a noisy major highway; we couldn't get the gas fireplace to work; the combo coffee/espresso maker lacked instructions; the backyard fence had gaps; and although the rooms were spacious and attractive, the main living area had a cathedral ceiling that made it hard to heat. The property manager tried to help, but the property was just not properly maintained.

Pleasantly surprised!

Wasn’t sure what to expect with all the mixed reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. The house was clean, linens and towels were out and kitchen had enough pots, pans and dishes for everyone. The yard is great for the pups although it can be quite loud with the traffic from the nearby highway but thankfully you couldn’t hear it in the house. It’s in a great spot, close to shopping and dining. We didn’t have any issues during our stay so there was no need to contact the rental company I will definitely rent this one again in the future.

Great home in Lancaster!

Our family was in town for a wedding in Leola, and we were traveling in from North Carolina. The communication from the owners prior to arriving was fantastic so check in was a breeze. We were all tired from the trip so having a seamless check in was awesome. The house was well laid out and very comfortable. Plenty of room for a family of five and their small pup. Easy access to stores, restaurants and local sites. Owners were great with communication and follow up to any questions we had. We travel to Central PA often so we will definatley stay here again.
