About this property

Tranquil, Scenic Farm View Guest House in the Heart of Lancaster Amish Country

We would love to have you come and enjoy our home built off our family farm. We are in the heart of Amish country, making our house a perfect location for families visiting Lancaster County. With Country Housewares (locally called Amish Walmart) 200 ft down the road, the traffic on our back road consists of more buggies than cars. The quiet, peaceful setting will facilitate a relaxing stay. From our front lawn, we have a beautiful view overlooking our Amish neighbor's chicken and produce farm. We are only minutes from the popular Lancaster towns of Bird-in-Hand and Intercourse.

Our house includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Our large upstairs kitchen, with the small basement kitchen, provides place to accommodate a larger family or group. Our full size basement is a great place for family games, quilting bees, scrap-booking, etc.

With our parent's cornfield behind the house, our backyard is a quiet place to enjoy the night sky or sit around a small campfire.

Local produce, fresh eggs, and bake goods can be purchased a mile down the road at our Amish neighbor's roadside stand. Also, children will love Hayloft Ice Cream's play area and home-made ice cream which is around the corner from our house. Country Housewares is an Amish-owned variety store, or "Amish Walmart", and is within walking distance from our house and is a "must visit" for all guests who would like to experience Amish culture!

This is a fabulous property!! Clean, well stocked (especially spices), with a wonderful view. Chris and Shannon left us a loaf of bread from their bakery that we all enjoyed very much. Plenty of room for a large family with a wonderful back yard. Close to all the local activities and attractions but you feel like you are far from the bustle. Check in was seamless and the host touched base with us by message several times just to be sure everything was fine, and it was perfect! Would definitely stay here again!!

Amazing large house for a family gathering

This was a perfect location to house extended family as we reunited from 3 states for a local family wedding. Plenty of beds, linens, common space as described. Pull -out couch was broken and could be removed as there is ample couch and beds. Also a foosball table present in lower level but not listed. Loved our stay and would consider booking it again!

It was our 3rd or 4th stay at Shannon and Chris's home and it was great as usual. Love the area. Love the house. Communication was beyond very good. House is always clean and cozy. Family friendly. We actually had our "adventure" on the way to Leola and Chris and Shannon went above and beyond to help us. It will always be very appreciated. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great stay in Lancaster County!

We loved our visit to Lancaster County. This house was the perfect fit for our family, with 2 grandparents, and 3 kids ages 5, 3, and 1. There was a pack and play and high chair for the baby, which were helpful. The kids LOVED playing "school" in the basement, and playing with the toys there too. We loved having horses and buggies go by the house all the time. The backyard was great, with the tire swing and playground. The house has a few quirks, but nothing worth taking away a star. And we were treated to canned peaches, raw milk, and granola when we arrived! 5 stars!

About the host

Hosted by Chris & Shannon Lapp

Host profile image
Shannon and I were born and raised in Lancaster County. I was raised on the 8th generation family farm that borders our house. As for Shannon, all her growing up years were spent on her parent's chicken farm only five miles down the road. So as high-school sweethearts, Lancaster County was all we ever knew until 2016 when God led us to teach at a Bible College in southern Indiana. Now with our seven children, we spend the school term in Indiana and come back "home" to Lancaster for the summer months. So when we're gone, our house is open for others to enjoy!!!

Why they chose this property

My grandparents built the house off the family farm as their retirement property. In the 90's, my older brother bought the house from our grandparents. Then in 2004, when my brother moved on the family farm, we had the opportunity to buy the home. So with the cornfield as our back property line, I never really moved off the farm. Being surrounded by both of our families, the picturesque setting, and the peaceful Lancaster county culture, there's no place we'd rather live. So because we've been so blessed, we'd be delighted to have you experience the setting we've been privileged to call home.

What makes this property unique

We'd love to have you stay at our home!!! With farmland in front and behind us, you'll love the peace and quiet. The great view from our front yard of the neighbor's produce farm will take you back it time. The idyllic setting is hard to beat and will make for a relaxing vacation!!!

Bring your quilting, sewing, or scrapbooking group and spread out in our spacious basement. Be sure to visit our quilt/fabric (Family Farm Quilts 3511 West Newport Rd. Ronks, PA 1757) shop just 5 minutes away in the town of Intercourse.

With the popular Amish towns of Intercourse and Bird-in-Hand only a few minutes away, our home is perfectly located for easy access to all the tourist attractions. Because Dutch Wonderland, Cherry Crest Farm, and Sight and Sound are so close by, our home is a great place to stay for a family vacation. With seven children of our own, our house is kid-friendly and perfect for a family of any size.

So bring your family, experience real Lancaster county among the Amish, de-stress from the busy pace of life, and make family memories that will last forever!!!!
