Very nice location, close to many popular Lancaster attractions. Quiet area. Shops in the square have very limited hours but nice to be able to walk around and check them out. Easy walking distance to the wedding venue, Iron Spires. No joke about the stairs! Lol. But able to hang out easily on one level.

The property was very clean and comfortable. The beds in the 3 bedrooms were so great! We didn't try the pullout sofa. I had to contact someone for the lockbox code, since it didn't hit my email when it was supposed to, and the property manager did respond within a few minutes. It took a few hours to get the wifi password correct. The location is amazing!! There's a courtyard with a fountain behind the house, with a restaurant, shops, and beautifully decorated houses all clustered together for easy walking. We were in town to visit antique shops. Do yourself a favor...if that's your plan, give yourself at least 3-4 days to see them all. My goodness. Overall, I would absolutely rent this home again and would recommend it to family, friends, and anyone. Such a nice, relaxing weekend!

Absolutely beautiful home and great placement for our wedding at the IronSpire Complex. Had some problems with the fireplace and the response was a little short which didn't sit right with us. Otherwise a great home and location.

Lovely Village Home

The home was so cute and spacious, provided everything we needed. We were able to park 2 cars, the space was tight but worked perfectly. We were there for our daughter’s wedding at Iron Spire and this place was so close making it very convenient. Would definitely stay again!

Enjoyed the 4th of July with the family.

Was a wonderful place to stay and also available so close the our family. It was clean and so quiet, we were able to enjoy the restaurant and local shops at our leisure. So close to many larger cities to explore. Will seek to stay here again. Thank you

Girls weekend away!

It was the perfect meeting spot for old friends who live far apart, and needed a place to simply enjoy each other’s company. It was the perfect amount of space to be together and have some personal space. Having beautiful areas to sit, walk, and shop and live music, right outside your door was the icing on the cake!

Loved the Village concept

Visited area to shop antique and thrift stores. Loved the atmosphere in this quaint "village" right out of Europe. We had dinner at the Village Haus, which was only a 150 ft walk! We felt right at home in the townhome which offers everything you need. Will definitely return!

A great village experience

Great place to stay. Easy access to many PA adventures from this location. Very clean and nice. Quite a few dishes to use in kitchen. The village is amazing. A little slice of old country in the middle of the city!! Only downfall was there wasn’t an ample amount of paper products and we had to go out to purchase them for use during our stay. But other than that amazing place. Would stay again!
