Such a special place, cozy with enough space and supplies to cook. Loved the antique bathtub and scenery. Be sure to write down WiFi password before driving there as there is no cellular to go online & locate informational email .

We enjoyed our stay very much. Kinda far from center of Lancaster. Each place we went (Turkey Hill, Miller's) was about a 30-40 minute drive on very winding hilly roads!

We really enjoyed ever minute of our stay at Tuquan Lodge. It's very charming, super-quiet and super-clean.The view is something special, looking out over the pond with the soothing fountain, to the pasture complete with a pony and goats.The beds are very comfortable, with nice linens.Be sure to try the Eagle Cafe for breakfast or lunch. Soooo good.

This was a very family friendly place to stay. The host was very accommodating and thoughtful. They have brochures and a list of places to eat. There is no Internet service so if that is a necessity, this may not be your place. It was great to unplug and they have a 32 inch game board that is electronic which keeps kids entertained. A beautiful pond and the host baked a delicious coffee cake for us.
