Our cozy river-side cottage along the Conestoga River is one of two cottages that are within 2 miles of the center of Lancaster City, and have a treehouse-like view from their stance on the hill side.

Located just outside downtown Lancaster, luxury cottage is a peaceful, quiet escape and a great location to simply rest and restore or to experience the best of Lancaster City and Lancaster County tourist attractions. Explore downtown Lancaster, only 2 miles away visiting Lancaster Central Market, Lancaster Convention Center, Fulton Theater, boutique shops, cafes and galleries, and restaurants. A short drive to the heart of Amish Country will take you to the Strasburg Railroad, Sight and Sound Theater, and Dutch Wonderland amusement park. For the outdoor enthusiasts, we don't recommend leaving home without your walking/running shoes, bikes, paddle board/kayak or fishing poles. There is river access from the yard, and the cottage is walking distance to Lancaster County Park and the Conestoga Greenway Trail, where there is plenty of beauty to explore whether by foot, bike or car. Just half a mile down the road is also the Rocky Springs Entertainment Center for entertainment and bowling. Close to Amtrack train station and not far from Spooky Nook Sports Complex.

    Cozy feel and just the perfect size and location! Our host was very responsive although we didn’t need a thing. I loved how the guest info guide explained a bit of the history of the twin cottages and the neighborhood.

    My stay at Twin Sycamore River Cottage,was absolutely wonderful! From the moment I arrived, I could feel the calm and beauty of the place living up to its name. The cottage was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated, every detail made it feel like a true home away from home. The hosts were kind, responsive, and made sure everything was just right. You can tell they take great pride in creating a peaceful, comfortable experience for their guests.If you’re looking for a tranquil escape surrounded by natural beauty, I can’t recommend Serenity enough. I’ll definitely be coming back!

    The home is beautiful, comfortable, well appointed. While we had a wonderful stay with no incidents, the neighborhood was concerning. It was not the atmosphere I was expecting.

    The property was beautiful, just as described, and really conveniently located to Lancaster and lots of other local attractions. The kids had a blast in the house, the city, and exploring the riverbank.

    What a beautiful place this was. It was clean, quiet and so relaxing. We loved sitting on the porch watching the river. We even went down couple times and fished. We caught some catfish.

    It was a perfect, three day get away fouth of July weekend. The cottage was extremely clean and a beautiful view of the river. Shauna was a great host. She answered all my questions in a prompt manner. We enjoyed the quiet setting and did a lot of shopping, enjoyed the markets. This is a place I would definitely return to in the future.

    We had a wonderful time at this darling escape! It is new, meticulously maintained, has a beautiful view AND water access! The owners thought of everything- I'm used to bringing soap/supplies after many lousy rentals without so much as TP, but they provided everything you could need, including s'more makings, oatmeal and coffee. The owners were so lovely and responsive, helpful in many ways! We really loved our time away in their cozy cottage and can't wait to get back again!

    We had an enjoyable stay at Twin Sycamore River Cottage. It is neat and clean and practically new. It is warm and inviting with a cozy atmosphere and the beds are comfortable. We love the modern design. This is a stunning spot in a quiet location overlooking the Conestoga River. You feel like you are in a remote location, yet it was only a few miles from everything we came to see.

    I loved the expansive windows with the view to the woods and the river. Super clean and very comfy bed. Many essentials provided. Only about 15 minutes away from the Sight and Sound Theatre and Strasburg. Perfect accommodations for those that want to enjoy all the comforts of home away from home in a peaceful setting.

    Property is great. Sadly you couldn't control the weather as it rained the entire time. Good thing the unit was consumer friendly and quite comfortable. Would certainly recommend it to any others heading that way
