Very lovely cottage quite new and quite tastefully decorated. Built very compactly there was still everything we needed and more. The deck overlooks the Conestoga River in a somewhat rustic location yet beautifully landscaped consistent with the setting. We enjoyed being near Amish country and many wonderful historic sites including Lancaster Central Park, the National Civil War Museum, the city of Lancaster itself. The Sight and Sound Theater was definitely a highlight of our trip.

We enjoyed our stay at the property. The house was very clean and Comfortable. We had a very nice view of the stream from our porch. We were hoping to do some fishing. unfortunately, the edge of the stream was not mowed so it was difficult to do any fishing from the shore. If you don't intend to fish this is not a problem.Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend the property to others.

We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and the cottage suited your needs! We take pride in providing 5 star experiences for our guests, so we are very sad that despite your positive experience, the river bank affected your rating. Spring brings lots of new growth so we are sorry this affected your time there. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us!
