Great cozy home

This home was great as a base camp for our travel through local history in the region. It was convenient to Lancaster County proper, Lititz, and Gettysburg. The home allowed us to relax in the evenings with quiet time and provided us a chance to hit the day running with eggs and sausage for breakfast. We will recommend this home to family/friends who may travel to the area.

Not only was the house spotless, but it was nicely decorated! They had the house fully stocked and left the nicest things for our use. They even had cookies in the freezer for us! The property is beautiful and the view is amazing. I plan on staying here every time I visit the area!

Peaceful Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The home was well stocked with everything needed and even more that we didn't expect - like milk, bread, snacks and so much more! The beds were quite comfortable for sleeping, the living room had great seating for gathering and having good conversations, and the kitchen had plenty of dishes and cookware. It is near many attractions and we enjoyed hiking in the area, Farmers' markets, and the Sight & Sound Theater. Our hosts were kind and thought of everything.

The Best Ever

This was a very clean and wonderful house. The owner had it stocked with everything, i mean it had everything you need to get your vacation started. She had milk, bread, eggs, chocolates, coffee, tea, pastries, etc. It was like going to Grandmas house and so inviting. We were in town for a wedding and we are already talking about returning. Book now, you will be quite surprised, it was fantastic.

Absolutely Perfect!

Description is spot on and the owners are amazing! We truly enjoyed staying here and plan to be back again. The little touches made you feel special and welcome. Amazingly well stocked fridge with juice, water, eggs, bread, sausage and so much more. Even had pancake mix! We made breakfast every morning. Wonderful coffee/tea bar and snacks galore. You truly couldn’t ask for a better place. The owners were so welcoming and a pleasure to speak to. Communication was quick and answered all questions I had before booking. While there we felt like family. I would definitely recommend staying here for a nice, peaceful getaway.

This property was truly like our home away from home.

We LOVED this house. It was about 20 min from everywhere we wanted to go (Strasburg, Lancaster, Lititz), the AC worked wonders during high temps (that were truly unheard of in mid-June in PA), everything was sparkling clean, and the owners met needs that we didn't even know we had. They provided not just linens and paper products, but also coffee, snacks, bottled water, toiletries, and more. There was frozen cookie dough in the freezer with instructions on baking, and let me tell you... They. Were. DELISH. We loved the home, and we'll definitely stay there again if we venture that way in the years to come. 💜

This is probably the most organized property I have stayed at. It was so nice to have stuff breakfast the next morning after checking in at 1am. The kitchen was nicely stocked. There were plenty of extra blankets and pillow. And the closet full of extra toys made the stay for my 3 young children great. And the best part was the cookie dough in the freezer. The chocolate chip cookies were the best I have ever had. I love going to Lancaster in the fall and I will always try to stay here in the feature. I loved that my kids felt at home here.

The entire cottage is beautiful ! Everything was clean and organized. Plenty of space for visiting. The kitchen has a coffee bar that was stocked and ready as soon as we arrived. The refrigerator was full of food for breakfast and the freezer had ready to bake cookies which we all enjoyed !! The cottage surpassed our expectations. We have family nearby and will definitely see if the cottage is available next time we visit. Thank you for wonderful and relaxing weekend !! Plus, the neighbors even have a farm stand next door with fresh eggs, pumpkins and vegetables !!

Wonderful place

Five adults attending an event at Lancaster Convention Center. The rooms were wonderful. Minor issue was location of nightstands in the bedrooms but we managed. Kitchen was fully stocked. I was surprised to find so many provisions- eggs, sausages, milk, OJ, apple juice, pancakes, yogurt, butter, cereal, all the condiments and snacks. Fantastic! Quiet area, beautiful views. We were here mostly to sleep so lack of television wasn’t an issue but I could see it being good to have for a family in the evening or if weather is bad. Wonderful place. We hope to stay here again. Big thank you to the hosts!!

Wonderful house!

This property is in rural PA, with gorgeous views and all the amenities! Our kids loved the house with an open basement to play and chickens to watch. Everything was stocked, you truly needed only the food you specifically wanted for the week. The host was great at communicating and even offered their wagon when we thought our 5 yr old couldnt do all the walking we had planned. The eggs and cookies were a wonderful treat! I would say, there aren't any TVs in the house but there is internet. Our kids had a lot to do and we had our own technology. It was awesome! Highly recommend

Pleasant State in the rolling hills

What a lovely home. I stayed here with my mother-in-law who was 91 and my husband. We would be happy to return to this lovely home which was so well supplied. There were were more towels than we could possibly used, extra pillows, wonderful kitchen supplies and loads of snacks and breakfast provided. Everything was clean and and just lovely.

Just book it

Absolutely loved this property. The house was as welcoming and homey as your own! The fridge was nicely stocked with essentials upon arrival (even had organic yogurt pouches for my little one). The basement is nice and wide open for little ones to run around! The beds are all firm memory foam which I am not a fan of but of course that is preference!
