Located on a lake, this family-friendly farm stay is within 6 mi (10 km) of Strausstown Lions Park, Koziar's Christmas Village, and Pat Garrett Amphitheater. Calvaresi Winery and Roadside America are also within 6 miles (10 km).
Located right on a busy road and beds could use new mattresses, but otherwise it was the perfect place for a weekend. The house was clean and plenty of linens were available to us. The muffins and milk from the farm’s market was a nice touch!
We stayed while waiting for our escrow to close. Loved the house and the owners were excellent. I would recommend this to anyone who asks about a rental.
House was great, really enjoyed our stay! Our son had a baseball tournament at the PA Big Show in Leesport (20 minutes away) We really enjoyed the farm stand next door.
Highly recommended house and area
We loved our stay! The place is well managed. It is clean. The host is the best. Gave clear instructions and even gifted us during our stay. I highly recommend the place! It is amazing!!

The house was just as the pics showed. Street noise was very bad night and day…
House was clean and comfortable. Host provided some special welcome treats, and also accommodated a last-minute request to stay an extra night. Property was plenty big enough for 4 adults and a dog. Loved sitting on the back porch. Property is located off a very busy and noisy road, so the only suggestion I have is to put shades, blinds, and/or heavier curtains in the front bedroom to block out all the car lights and reduce the noise. Other than that, our stay was great!
As always , a wonderful stay here. We stayed here 3 times as its close to family when we are visiting. We never have to worry about breakfast because there is fresh eggs, milk, chocmilk and a sweet treat waiting for us. Always clean and so cozy! Our daughter got sick the morning we had to leave and she was so accommodating letting us have a late check out! Will stay again!
Everything went perfect! The location was really convenient to the wedding we were attending in the area as well. The house was a great size and everyone who stayed at the house was very happy. Thanks again for allowing us to stay at War har farms cottage
Hosts had this cottage prepared to make us feel right at home with Chocolate/Regular Milk, fresh eggs and baked goods! There was a hiccup with hot water, but it was fixed in no time! Large living space to fellowship and spend time with family and nice double sink in bathroom. The only downside is the description says there's a washer/dryer, but the basement was off limits due to safety reasons.
This cottage was much bigger then we expected. Very spacious and very cozy. Beds were super comfy, our host left us stocked with fresh eggs and milk and coffee. We walked next door to their family marketplace and had some of the best ice cream weve ever had. Koziers village was only 10 minutes away.
Highly recommend it!
Great property, clean and comfortable; the only negatives being that the beds could be updated and blackout curtains should be added to keep out the headlights from the rooms. (Property is located right off of a busy highway)
The cottage was beautiful, clean and cozy. The owner went to the extra work of decorating the cottage as we stayed over Christmas. This was a beautiful touch! They also provided a sample of their delicious Way-Har Farms milk. The owner was also very good about getting back to me with questions.
We were in the area to visit my brother and needed a place to begin the adventure! Olivia was there when we arrived and told us we could connect with them for information about the area, or if we wanted, we could even visit their dairy farm. There is a small country store 500 ft up the road that sells local goods, including meats, syrups, and dairy, and it was all delicious! We visited Harrisburg, Hershey, and Hawk mountain, all easily navigated from the cottage. I would stay there again!
We rented the property to visit family and the house was in a perfect location for us. From the moment we stepped in, it was a beautiful home! We walked into some freshly made cupcakes and a little message. It was very welcoming. There were enough beds to sleep 8 people comfortably and to my surprise, they had some toys in the living room! My 4 yr old was excited. It was a very comfortable home that was perfectly equipped for our family needs. Communication from the home owner was great and next time we stay, we can't wait to take advantage of some of the other ammentities. Can't wait to stay again! Great host!
We enjoyed our stay at Way Har Guest Cottage. It was plenty big enough for our family of 5....Loved the big comfy couches and blankets for our movie night! The kitchen was spacious enough for our family meals. And we very much appreciated the breakfast supplies and special dessert that was left!! My only complaints are the traffic noise and lights at bedtime. The windows could use some updating / insulating and could definitely use some cellular shades.
Overall, the host was very accommodating and the house was cute, cozy and comfortable!
What a lucky find! We were last minute making travel plans to the area, and I found this guest cottage. Cute, clean and so well stocked with amenities. The previous review covers everything, so I won't be redundate here. Don't forget to take a look at all the delicious items at the Way-Har store just down the road. I picked up gifts for friends as we continued to travel. Everything was delicious! Route 183 is heavily traveled, so my advice is to park in back. It will make going and coming much easier and safer. That's my only tip to future travelers. Great place to stay!

Cozy, cute but just know a few things b4 you go.
This is a cute place and the owners leave you some items for your morning breakfast, so that was really great. You’ll find it is very clean. But we felt as though this place is still in process of being renovated. The backside where you can park a car there were stumps and roots and the house on that side looks like it needs painting and updating. Inside the closet doors were off there hinges. There is no dishwasher which is not a big deal, but glasses looked smudged and pans did not look that clean to us. Also, Be prepared to make your own bed when you arrive. (Which if you are arriving late after a long days drive is something you may not want to deal with). You are asked to strip beds b4 you leave as well. Another issue is road noise, as this is on a very busy road. So it may keep you up at night. We felt this place was a little overpriced for what you get. Just giving our honest opinion having stayed and many rentals and do not mean any disrespect to the owners. It’s cozy and cute but just know these things before you book.
Good location, but on a major (loud) road. Don't expect to get sleep
We were looking for a quiet home to get away, and that's what the title suggested. The house was a good location, close enough to do things, kitchen was stocked and clean.
However, the house is on a very busy road that has traffic all day and night. We had a very hard time getting sleep as all we heard were passing vehicles and would feel the shake when trucks passed, which was often.... In addition, there are no blinds on the windows so we would have headlights shine in all night long. After a long day of being out on the trails, we just wanted to rest. I wish we knew how busy the road was ( and the fact there are no blinds on the windows) before booking.
