    It was a wonderful stay. Close to Shippensburg but felt like we where all alone in the countryside. Wonderful time. We will definitely be looking to stay here again in the future.

    It reminded me of the movie, The Holiday. Only difference was it was a french cottage in rural PA and not in England. Also, Jude Law never showed up. My stay was great. My host was fantastic. Many of my friends have noted that they would have their friends and family stay there. I loved the cottage and the cows.

    This property is amazing! We loved the peaceful location and beautiful property. The hous was clean, and tastefully decorated. The property owner, Tamela was really kind and helpful. I would love to go back again. Anyone who has the opportunity to stay here will be blessed. Also the deer are out every morning early grazing in the yard. Such a serene place. Can’t say enough about it.

    In the world of high anxiety we found a real oasis away from it all but not totally. Comfortable! A real honest to goodness chance to relax. And my wife and I just say thank you for sharing.

    Spent 10 days on this beautiful property with my family. Tamela was an excellent host. The pictures don’t do the house or landscape justice. It is impeccable, with gorgeous interior decoration and the most comfortable beds, linens and towels. The house had everything we needed to feel at home with special perks such as the creek and fire pit in the backyard. I highly recommend this property and hopefully will be back soon!

    We had an amazing stay at the Genteel Farm. The highland cows are a special treat in addition to the other birds and wildlife. Tamela is more than accommodating and the house is immaculate. So much attention to detail in the decor.

    Genteel Farm is a perfect retreat for our girlfriends' reunion. The property's gardens and outdoor space are as lovely as the inside with all the creature comforts you could want. This year we even had a visit from the new farm cat, Louie! Highly recommend this property!!

    We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. Perfect for a Mother's Day lunch/family reunion, on a sunny afternoon overlooking the beautiful gardens and babbling stream below. In a quiet setting in the countryside, but only 10 minutes from town. The home was provisioned with everything we needed and more in terms of breakfast fixings, cookware, tableware--everything was thoughtfully considered. We loved it!

    As lovely as the pictures are, I was not prepared for the stunning beauty of this property. The landscaping and setting are truly magical. The attention to detail in the house is incredible and adds to the magical quality of the property. The thoughtfulness of the owner to stock the fridge with her farm fresh eggs plus other delectable food items was a first in the many times we have rented vacation homes. If I could I would double the stars in the rating!
