Great location, home and host!

The property was just as advertised! Everything you could possibly need was there. It was clean, well put together, and essentially a home away from home. John was an amazing host. He was responsive, flexible, and beyond kind and caring! Everything from start to finish was simple and easy! If we find ourselves in that area of PA again, we will definitely reach out and stay again!

Beautiful House with lots of Space

My group of fun-loving friends and I stayed here for a long weekend. The house is BEAUTIFUL with a large open plan which allowed us to congregate in the living room/dining room/kitchen area and enjoy the visit. There were plenty of beds and bathrooms and had a driveway that could accommodate about four cars. Everything was clean and updated. The house was located in an excellent area which was quiet at night and had just a short drive to Lititz and not a very long one (maybe 20 mins) to Bird-In-Hand/Sight-and-sound/Ronks. The host was very considerate and helped us get checked in as well as was available through our trip. he even made the house code specific to us during our trip so we knew that we and our things were safe. I would 100% stay here again!

Home away from home

We enjoyed our week in Lancaster spending time with family and friends while working at a mission project at Unto.The house was extremely clean and had everything you would need while away from home. Beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed it all. The only disappointing thing was the rain as we could not enjoy the deck as much as we would have liked to.Surprisingly we found it was extremely easy to travel to Unto daily or to any other town or place in and around Lancaster. It was very easy to communicate with John and even though we did not have any questions or issues, he would periodically check in to see if we needed anything. We would highly recommend anyone visiting Lancaster to stay at John’s place. You will not be disappointed. Thanks John for everything!
