We have a rental agreement that you must agree to in order to stay at our property. If you book instantly, you must sign and return your rental agreement within 4 hours in order to keep your reservation.

***This is a non-smoking property.***

Due to our daughter's severe allergies, absolutely no pets are allowed. Pets trigger convulsive seizures.

We provide unscented Laundry Products. Due to guest allergies to scented laundry products, only unscented laundry detergent, unscented non chlorine bleach, unscented fabric softener and unscented dryer sheets are permitted to be used in our washer and dryer. Scented laundry products leave a residue in the laundry appliances and linens which can cause an anaphylactic reaction. If you break this House Rule, there is an additional $500 Cleaning Fee if we smell scented Laundry Product residue in the washer, dryer or on the linens and towels.

Our home is dynamic and changes with the seasons or when I find new treasures! Please note we change out furniture, decor, accessories, etc. from time to time which may not be pictured and items pictured may be removed.

We've had to make some changes due to Covid-19. We are saddened by these changes. It’s become a different world. Because of the virus:
1. We have removed all of the condiments, food & beverage items from the pantry and refrigerator.
2. We have removed the bedroom pillows, blankets and throws. You will need to bring your own.
3. Early check-ins or late check outs are not permitted because of the cleaning time required. Check in is between 5 to 8 pm.
4. All guests must be symptom free for 14 days prior to arrival.
Regardless of the precautions, we will not be able to guarantee a virus free environment. Unfortunately for all of us, including our family, you venture out into the world at your own risk.

Pool Heater Option:
We are excited to announce that we have recently installed a swimming pool heater for your enjoyment! The pool can be set to a comfortable 85 degrees. An additional charge of $100 per day + tax covers the heater's cost. We hope this enhancement will make your stay even more enjoyable if you use it!

    This is a return visit to this beautiful property. Our host thought of every detail and was easy to reach for questions and communication. The location is perfect. Right in the middle of the city, but somehow also private. Walkable to everything we wanted to do. The home is laid out perfectly and expertly designed. A great location for family reuniting.

    Spacious, quirky, fun, family-friendly, ideally located. Our extended family enjoyed our short fall trip to Lancaster. Thanks to Barbara’s tips on where to eat, shop, and play, we had a blast. The house was the most organized and well-stocked of any rental I’ve booked. We didn’t do much cooking, but the kitchen had everything we would have needed.

    This location is decorated with impeccable style and flair, and the host’s attention to detail sets it apart. The beds are all super comfy, it is air-conditioned, the pool is refreshing, and the sweet local treats the host provides are delectable. Our kids are young adults and they loved the artsy and sophisticated nature of this home. Parking is beside the house and adequate for our family

    We’ve been visiting this home for four years now and it doesn’t disappoint! Barbara and Art are incredibly generous and responsive hosts, the property is thoughtful, immaculate, and exactly as great as advertised and Lancaster is charming to walk, shop, and dine in. We can’t wait to return next year!

    The hosts were very gracious and hospitable. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The pool was great. We were able to walk to dinner and sone activities because the house was located downtown. It's a good place to stay.

    Barb and Art gave attentions to every detail of decor and hospitality. This was a beautiful and comfortable homebase for our family vacation during the holidays. Communication was excellent, and we were overwhelmed by the kind and generous touches, including coffee and pastries. Every one of their five stars is well deserved. We will definitely be reserving this property again.

    There's five-star and then there is beyond five-star. This unit far exceeded expectations. This is now our third stay and each experience has been better than one before. Our hostess, as with our previous bookings, was engaging, hospitable and accommodating. The bakery goodies and coffee were greatly appreciated. The Christmas decorations added significant charm and beauty to the interior surroundings. I highly recommend Art on Walnut to all vacationers planning a trip to Lancaster County at any time of the year.
