Beautiful Home w/ Private Yard! Walkable to Markets, Coffee Shops & More!
Relax in this beautiful, newly renovated home that's walkable to many fun activities! This 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom home is well stocked for your next visit to Lancaster. It was intentionally designed for comfort while not sacrificing a modern, clean aesthetic! Fun fact: the log cabin that's a few home's down on the same block is the city's oldest home that was built in the 1700's.
Enjoy a cup of coffee outside on the patio in the private, fenced in yard. The backyard is an oasis to enjoy the beautiful weather and hear the "buzz" of the city. Bring one (or two!) complimentary games outside to play with friends and family.
Cook a meal in the brand new full size kitchen. Brand new kitchen appliances are available for guests to enjoy including a refrigerator/freezer, stove, oven, microwave and dishwasher. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, plates, dishes, flatware, cups, wine glasses, wine opener, etc. There is seating for six at the large kitchen island.
Love coffee? We provide guests with two coffee makers including a drip coffee maker and a Keurig-style coffee maker. Complimentary coffee pods, creamer pods, tea and coffee filters are provided.
After a long day, enjoy a shower in the bathrooms with contemporary marble tile and fixtures. Both bathrooms are equipped with hairdryers, towels and washcloths, complimentary shampoo, conditioner and body wash. An iron/ironing board and collapsible travel crib are also available for guests to use.
Guests have full control of the smart thermostat to enjoy heat/AC to their preferred taste, and complimentary laundry soap is available so that you don't have to take home dirty laundry =)
The living room is equipped with comfy lounge furniture and contemporary decor. A smart TV is available for guests in addition to a collection of games including Scattergories, and more. Take a game out to the backyard patio and play with your friends after a long day exploring Lancaster. It's one of our favorite things to do!
There are three bedrooms/sleeping areas in this home: 1) King bedroom (sleeps two) 2) Queen bedroom (sleeps two) 3) Kid's room with a Twin trundle bedroom w/ twin beneath it (sleeps two) 4) A living room sectional sofa (sleeps two) *** Please note: the living room sofa isn't a futon or pull-out sofa bed (just a heads up!) and is best suited for kids who don't mind sleeping directly on the top of the sofa cushions. We provide pillows, quilts, and sheet sets for all beds including the living room sofa sleepers.
This home is a city home and due to the nature of the location, guests may hear city noises from time to time. We include a sound machine in each bedroom if you are a light sleeper. Free street parking is available outside of the home and there isn't a dedicated driveway for your car. Street parking is first come, first serve which is typical for this area. The good news is that it

Yes, host was great. The only downfall was parking and we made out fine with that.

Hi there! I'm so glad that you enjoyed the home!! We welcome you back anytime! And i'm happy to hear that parking ended up being ok for your group during your stay. In my experience, sometimes we get parking right outside the front door of this home, while other times we have to walk around the block. Safe travels home!! :)
This Lancaster stay suited our needs for a local volleyball tournament at the Convention Center (a 6-minute walk). The unit was clean. Street parking was an issue (which the owner mentioned in advance). It seemed to be in a "rougher" part of town which was alarming upon arrival, but all went well.

I'm so glad that the convenient location of this home was helpful for your recent tournament! THANKS for being an awesome guest and we welcome you back anytime! Regarding the location of this home in Lancaster City, we do try to be as transparent as possible by including photos of the street/outside areas of the home to avoid ay confusion upon arrival. When your group checked-in, we did receive a message where one of your guests wasn't aware this home was located in the city. I'm not sure if everyone in your group had a chance to read the VRBO listing ahead of time (which is totally fine!), but that might be where the confusion came from. In the future, we're happy to answer any questions that you have before arrival if that's helpful. Safe travels home! And we welcome you back anytime! :)
Wonderful home and a great location. We didn't have to drive anywhere, everything we did was in walking distance. This was exactly what we were looking for and the host, Krista, was such a sweet person!
Check-in and out was a breeze. Beautiful and clean home with a great outdoor area to relax in. Walking distance to everything downtown. Host communication was perfect. Had no issues at all. Street parking worked out fine as well!
Greatly updated property in historic area. Great communication from Krista every step of the way. All should know the area is in the midst of renewal, and parking can be a challenge at times. For us, we attended a conference and walked to the downtown area each day and loved it.

Thanks for the feedback, Julia! And i'm really happy that you enjoyed the close location of this home to all that Lancaster City has to offer! We especially love walking to the markets and getting coffee's really close by. We welcome you back anytime!
The property is perfect. We were very happy with the space. It’s beautiful, clean and comfortable. We stayed in the winter, but when the weather is warmer I’m sure the patio and yard are are great too!

Soooo glad you loved the property, Desiree! We welcome you and your group back anytime!! Thanks!
The home is nicely appointed and very clean. Beds and sofa are comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Noise machines help cancel out street noise. Although there is only street parking, we were always able to park within two blocks of the house, and the neighbors are cordial. The owner was extremely responsive to our questions and a great help!

I think that you should mention the problems with parking. We loved the house, but would suggest that grab bars be placed in the showers.

Hi Lee, thanks for your feedback about the home! That's such a great idea about adding grab bars to the two showers. Currently there hasn't been a need for them, but I could understand for older folks especially it may be helpful. We are looking into this as a future project based on your feedback! Thanks again!! :)
Thanks for the feedback, Wil! And i'm so happy to hear that you enjoyed the location, setup and enjoyed staying at this home! We welcome you back anytime.
Besides small amount of dust on the ledge of pictures in living room everything else was great!! Location was very close to our daughter’s dance competition site. Parking wasn’t the greatest but was brought to our attention on the initial listing of BnB. Owner was very communicative with us throughout our stay!! Would recommend over and over again!!

We're so happy to hear that you loved the location of this home and enjoyed your stay! We loved hosting you guys! And a BIG congrats on your daughter's dance competition - that's so cool!!
Upon arrival, we were very impressed with the bright, welcoming and cleanliness of the home. We thoroughly enjoyed how close it was, too so many things like coffee, shops, the park, restaurants, and convenience stores. It was exactly what we were looking for and more.
Great place with all the amenities of home away from home. The entire house looked brand new and very clean. We were there for a business trip and convention so the location was perfect. Just a short walk to the Convention Center and Lancaster's downtown shops, nightlife, and great restaurants. We hope to stay again soon.
Great communication with owner and no issues with check in/out. Parking can be tricky as the roads are narrow. The home itself was the perfect size, it was a cute space and it was very clean!
