Built in 1888, ‘The Royer House’ is named in honor of the late Joseph R. Royer, confectioner extraordinaire, who owned the Ice Cream Garden at 50 W. King St., and was influential to a young entrepreneur named Milton S. Hershey in helping him hone his skills in the art of candy making. This American classic is situated in the heart of downtown Lancaster and is a short walk to the Lancaster Convention Center, The Fulton Theater and the city's best breweries, dining, shops, and galleries!

    Lancaster was a huge surprise for us in terms of architecture and activities. The home's location is fantastic for all, restaurants, saturday market, bars, etc.. In terms of the house itself, comfortable beds and nice living spaces. Bathrooms (if you have 6 or 8 people) might be a bit tight. Kitchen wasn't prepped for that many people either, but the host took care of it in a single text (needed, wine glasses, coffee cups and forks). All in all great stay.
