About this property

Lovely Downtown Townhome

This beautifully renovated, 1800s era, 4 bedroom home features all the comforts of home, with a full kitchen, washer and dryer, small fenced backyard, and lots of living space.
The first floor has an open concept, with the foyer/living room, dining room and kitchen all flowing together. There is also a half bath and the laundry facilities on the first floor.
The second floor consists of 3 bedrooms, 2 of which each have a queen bed and the third has 2 twin beds. Also on the second floor is a full bath.
The third floor is a large loft space with a full bed, a dresser for storage, and an air mattress and blankets for additional sleeping room for larger groups/families.
PLEASE NOTE: the third floor is only accessible through the master bedroom.

We do not have off street parking here, however, there is free street parking and the N. Queen Street parking garage is several hundred feet away so that's a great option if finding a spot on the street is a problem.

Our place is close to Central Market, Fulton Theater, Lancaster General Hospital, Prince Street Cafe, and so much more. You’ll love our place because of the convenience of the location, close to all that Lancaster City has to offer. Our place is good for couples, business travelers, and families

Just Enough

Check in process was smooth. The property manager was responsive to all messages. I like that the property was clean. Bedding was clean and comfortable. The property is very mature, so it was priced very reasonably. Parking can be a problem, but I was able to find parking within a block of the residence.

Lovely home near the center of town

It is a nice place to stay. Clean, central and good accomodation. Parking was in a nearby carpark for 15 dollars a day, which was fine. Overall a pleasant experience. The children also loved the house.

Townhouse Review

This is an older townhouse which is very clean and simply furnished. Conveniently located near a Greek restaurant. Able to find on street parking nearby as well. Beds and bedding were clean. Turned tv on but it said it wasn’t connected to the internet and no instructions for using the tv were available. WiFi password is slightly different from one given in check-in directions online. Bathroom is functional but dated.

Short Stay

We were only at the property one night to visit family in town. Home was clean and as described in the photos. The furniture in the living room was a bit worn but that wasn’t big deal to us. The home can accommodate a large group but be aware there is no dishwasher for a large gathering or extended stay.. We did not find street parking but the recommended parking garage was easily accessible and convenient. Host was friendly, responsive and flexible. We would book again and recommend to others.Thank you!

Wonderful getaway location for a concert

It was a great way to be able to hang with friends together in an environment as opposed to separate hotel rooms. Property had everything we needed and we were very comfortable. We also appreciated the simplicity of the checkout process where we weren’t required to spend our vacation time closing out the property very walkable area to fun options. Ps. Rachel’s creperie was a great breakfast locale

Great place just one minor suggestion

Clean and comfortable! Hosts responded to messages immediately. My only suggestion that I make at most rentals is please use a free/clear laundry detergent on your sheets and towels. I have allergies so I woke up with some hives. Otherwise a great stay!

Comfortable & Clean

We really enjoyed our stay! Definitely be prepared for an older home. Hallways and bathroom upstairs are tight, and the stairs will wake up the non-early risers when the early risers get up! The home is CLEAN and the kitchen had everything we needed. Wonderful to be able to do laundry so we didn’t have to pack as much too. Plan on parking in the North Queen Street lot, which is safe and close! On street parking never happened for us, and we felt good about it after hearing how fast some of the cars drive on the street. Great shops and restaurants in easy walking distance. Thanks for the stay!

Just “ok”

I definitely think I was expecting more. It wasn’t very clean. There were not good. Instructions and communication was less than efficient. We had to go the first two nights without air-conditioning in the back bedroom, which was miserable in the summer heat. It wasn’t horrible, but it was not wonderful.

great but does need a few basic items

Property is great, location is great. The only complaint we had was there was alot of Marijuana smokers in area so we had to keep windows closed. Dear Owner, it would be nice to add a few basic items. 1. All bedrooms should have a mirror. 2. There was only 1 clock in house in the dinning room and it did not work. A clock in living room would be nice and alarm clocks in bedroom. 3. If house sleeps would be nice to have 8 chairs for dinning room so we could all eat together. We will be renting again!!!

This old townhouse has a lot of charm. We enjoyed that it was near Hersey, PA for an affordable price for our family. The home does need some TLC. The loft and bathrooms need to be updated.Parking is a little bit difficult as the house is located on a busy street and the only practical parking available is street parking. If you stay on a Monday night be sure to move your car before 8:30am or you might receive a parking violation as they clean the streets every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month.

You get what you pay for. In Lancaster this is cheap, but we will not be coming back. Cleaning was par, mold in the bathroom tub, rooms had large holes in the walls just patched with some putty and no paint, pillows were so thin they were non existent, and the stairs were very steep and scary, paint peeling off of them and other areas of the house made things look rough. The area also wasn’t a place you would want your kids even outside in other than to get right into the card.

Inexpensive and clean

The house is older but still comfortable. The bathroom could use an update and the location of outlets in the bedrooms were not the best. It was very clean. The location itself was convenient to many things but parking was terrible. We could not find a spot on the street when we returned at about 10 pm on a Thursday evening. We did not feel safe walking to the house from the vehicle a few blocks away. The only parking we could find was near a group of homeless people sleeping and the area seemed sketchy. The price point was good compared to many other options in the area but I would probably not return here because of the parking. I did message the host twice about non-urgent things but they did not respond. We only stayed one night.

Property manager could have handled this better and left us feeling poorly treated.

The house was spacious and clean, and aircon greatly appreciated. The upstairs bathroom was a little tired and some towels need replacing but bedrooms had new carpet which was very comfy to walk on. There was no iron or ironing board despite being advertised. All teflon coated pans were flaking and therefore unsafe for cooking. Cutlery was inadequate for the number of guests advertised to stay in the house and were mostly child-sized. Dryer has no knob, dryer needs to be manually turned off, so is a fire hazard if you dont know this by a simple note. The washing machine was full of incomplete washing, with a wet doona and 2 wet mattress protectors. The dryer was full of wet towels, bath mats, face washers etc. To be able to use the laundry facilities I had to feed it all through the dryer and fold it up to move it out of the way. I told the owners this had happened and they were apologetic however offered no gesture in appreciation that I was a paying guest and was compelled to finish the washing from the previous people. I have had no response to any message I have sent since I suggested the gesture. Absolute silence. Is Vrbo able to follow this up for me please? A refund of 1 nights stay should be made given the frustrations and lack of action. I have included a photo of the household washing I had to finish and leave on the side of the laundry so I could use the facilities for our own washing.

We enjoy traveling, spending time with family and friends but most of all being parents to our (4) wonderful children.

Why they chose this property

Our place is located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, United States.
Downtown Lancaster is a diverse, urban, bustling small city, home to some of the best restaurants in the state, as well great shops and entertainment, and you are quite literally in the center of it all! Within a five minute walk you will find fine dining at the Belvedere Inn and Shot and Bottle, and Lancaster General Hospital's sprawling campus. Also within a short walk are the Lancaster Marriott & Convention Center, Central Market, Clipper Magazine Stadium, and tons of excellent restaurants, bars, and entertainment.
I also wish to add that the neighborhood is what we consider safe and fairly quiet considering the city setting that it's in.

What makes this property unique

Easy to Get Around!
Close to the Red Rose Bus Station, a few blocks from the Amtrak station, and within walking distance of everything you need. Plus Uber and Lyft are super convenient in the area.
