Amish Country Relaxation

This is the 3rd time my husband and I have stayed at this farmhouse. It's in the perfect spot if you would like to immerse yourself in an Amish area. The farmhouse is not in the tourist area but very close by. We travel from CT to the south occasionally and this is the perfect place for us to take a break from a long ride and do a little shopping!

Beautiful and clean

The house has been beautifully restored. The owners have been able to keep so much charm, while adding modern touches. The house was also VERY clean. The property is well maintained and the area was peaceful and quiet. We had no issues during our stay and will definitely be back the next time we come to the area.

Mom’s Getaway Perfection

We were three tired moms looking for some quiet and a place to catch up with each other and this home was so spotlessly clean, charming, and peaceful that we were able to recharge and head back to our homes ready to face our sweet families. So thankful for the love that was put into restoring this amazing treasure of a spot! So close to so many good places too but off the beaten path. Can’t wait to return!

Loved It!

This was our 3rd stay in this lovely home. The location could not be nicer. It is so quiet & peaceful. We enjoyed watching the Amish farmer next door plant tobacco and the ongoing horse & buggy traffic. The house is one of the best stocked houses we have ever stayed in. John & Deb have thought of everything to make it feel just like home, right down to the fresh baked cookies waiting on the kitchen table. There is not a thing I would change about this house. Thank you John & Deb! We can't wait to stay with you again! :)

Amazing House in the Middle of Amish Country!

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

A gem surrounded by farmland

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!
