    This was at least our fourth visit to this same property, which in itself should speak volumes. It is an AMAZING place to escape from reality. Clean and well kept, but so much charm in the house itself. Great firepit and land to walk on. Close to so many attractions that suit everyone's needs. We will be back and you should go, too! (also, the owners are the sweetest, leaving fresh cookies and breakfast sausage for each visit!)

    Our 4th year visiting this home & we loved it just as much as every other year. It feels like home away from home. It is the best stocked home we have ever stayed in. Everything that may be needed is there. It's close to everything, in a perfect location to sit outside and watch the farmers and the horse & buggies go by and always clean. Just a lovely home. Thank you for hosting us again! We look forward to coming back next year!

    The property includes a beautiful, comfortable, historical home deep in the farms of Lancaster County. Outside, there is sparse automobile traffic on the country roads, but we did very much enjoy the horse and buggy traffic. The fire pit and outdoor seating area was fantastic! We liked the fact that we were only 10 or 15 minutes from multiple points of interest. We will definitely return.

    Where do I begin. If you’re looking for something close to everything Lancaster has to offer but also want a relaxing place than this is it. In the heart of Amish country, horse and buggies, farms all over the place. The hosts John and Deb were so easy to talk to. The house was exactly what we were looking for. Sitting out back was so relaxing. The only thing we regret is we forgot to sign the guest book but we will definitely be back to sign it. Oh and the cookies??? Um delicious. We will definitely be back again hopefully multiple times. Great house and great hosts.

Sitting by the lovely outdoor fireplace watching field work with horses, taking our walks on the country road by the house that took us past an Amish schoohouse and beautiful working Amish homes, added relaxation and peace to our time away.We loved how they kept the history of this home in the renovations.

    Outstanding in every way!!! This trip crossed off my wife's bucket list item. What a dream lication inserted straight into the middle of the Amish culture we love and admire so much. Tranquility is the best aspect of this charming property. Every day we saw Amish children scootering to school and horse drawn wagons and buggies as we drank coffee on the back porch or by the firepit. Sunrises and sunsets were amazingly beautiful. We viewed hot air balloons taking off from Lancaster every day as well No reason to leave the home but so much to do in the area you will want to venture out. Quiet, sturdy home for its age. Peaceful. No noises. Perfect!!! John and Deb are the GOATs of VRBO hosts. A must stay!!! We will be back.

Ran into a few cobwebs in the bathroom and had an issue with yellow jackets, but that is just nature! Everything we needed was there. Too much light in the middle bedroom, especiallt the light under the top step.

    We loved our stay here. The home is on a quiet road away from the bustle of the tourist areas, yet just a short drive to all the major attractions. It is surrounded by farmland and the views are so peaceful. We loved seeing the sunrises and sunsets. The home has been lovingly restored, keeping the historic feel alive with exposed brick and beams and furnishings. We loved the refinished wide plank floors and even the slight floor slant in the master bedroom. The kitchen and bathroom are well stocked with supplies. We didn’t get a chance to sit around the fire pit as it was raining one day and the other days were a little windy and chilly, but John and Deb supply all you need to start a fire in the pit. We were welcomed with homemade cookies which was such a nice touch (they were delicious!). The home was very clean, very comfortable, and well cared for. If you want to experience all Lancaster has to offer, but also want to relax in a peaceful setting, this home checks that box. We will be back!

    Our visit to Lancaster County, PA was better than we anticipated because of the great house that we stayed in. We visit the area 1-2X each year to see Biblical Musicals at Sight & Sound, other local attractions and to immerse ourselves in the Amish culture as much as possible for us English. By far, this visit was our best due to this terrific, completely restored older house that had everything we needed with very comfortable furnishings and very cool period decorations. From the first night of rocking on the glider and watching horse-drawn buggies go by, to driving past the one-room Amish schoolhouse just up the road. We know that we will be staying here at our next trip to Lancaster! Thank you! Tony & Lisa

    For anyone looking for an authentic 1700 cottage stay in Amish country - you have found your location! Our stay was perfection from the moment we booked. Our host was accommodating above compare. He gave us local recommendations, left us homemade cookies to enjoy and even let us check in a bit early before our tickets for Sight and Sound theatre which was close by. We took another couple with us and both couples had appropriate privacy for sleeping, even with the authentic plank floors upstairs. The property is not ‘fancy’ but, instead, cozy and authentic. For those coming from ‘city’ living, just keep in mind that you are truly in the country with regular country sounds and smells. We can’t wait to plan our return trip for next year.
