The Handel Haus is a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom vacation rental. Most houses located in the Bavarian Village feature a shop on the lower level and living quarters on the 2nd and 3rd floor. As you enter our home you will be directed up the stairs to the main living quarters. The master bedroom has a king size bed and in suite bathroom with both bathtub and shower.

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!

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!

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

Thanks!

Great place! Don’t mind the many creaks; she just has a lot to say! Lots of steps too so just be aware if that’s not your thing. We had a great time and it was perfect for us. Super clean and conveniently located to all the places we wanted to visit (Shady Maple, Lancaster, Reading, Strasberg Railroad).

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!
