“The Big Chill” II ❤️😎✌️🌎

It was our 35th Reunion from F&M and because our Fraternities were disbanded over 30 years ago, I never felt the interest in going back. I went back last Fall and was inspired to gather a group to join me this year. I found Alicia’s place on VRBO and I knew it wouldn’t be there long so I reserved it in the Spring. I put “F&M Reunion” on our family calendar and my daughters were curious about my enthusiasm so I had them watch “The Big Chill”. Needless to say, many things don’t live up to expectations in Life but this was a Magical exception. The House was as warm and inviting as its owner. My wife was able to meet some of my favorite people that helped form who I am today. Over the weekend, we shared laughter and tears (one of us lost a son recently) and reconnected because we had this “safe space” to do so. As Forrest Gump said, “some times there are not enough words”. I’ll finish with Alicia, thank you for becoming our friend and helping us renew our relationships with others. Sending you a Travel Journal as a gift so others can put down their thoughts after they experience your Hospitality. ❤️ Susan & Tim Terranova

Beautiful condo in a great location

The condo is beautifully decorated and clean. Great place for a family gathering. The kids loved the basement full of games and walking distance to parks and pizza. I would suggest adding room darkening shades or curtains to the bedrooms.

Perfect place to relax.

We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay than Alisa's Serenity in the City while we were in Lancaster. The house is lovely, immaculate and beautifully maintained; the beds are very comfortable; there is plenty of room for a large group to be together or for folks to have "alone time"; the neighborhood is charming, quiet, and close to all kinds of things to do. Best of all, Alisa is an incredibly attentive host. She provided us with great information, was very easy to reach, and made sure we had all we needed for the perfect stay. If you're looking for a great place to stay in Lancaster look no further - you've found it.
