About this property

Peace & Tranquility at Country Splendor

Peace and tranquility await you at this newly renovated 1860's farmhouse located on 67 acres of rolling farmland in Lehigh County. This piece of paradise sits along a quiet country road with wildlife all around. Gather around the firepit after dark and listen to the sounds of frogs & owls while you roast marshmallows and gaze at the stars. Just minutes to Lehigh Valley, Berks, Schuylkill & Carbon Counties and close to seasonal activities like golf, biking, kayaking, hiking & skiing.
What was once a dairy farm is now reimagined as a peaceful retreat. Country Splendor has what guests want most... a place to relax, a good bed to sleep in, a clean shower and a good cup of coffee in the morning! Most mornings start with a beautiful sunrise and a few whitetail deer roaming in the pasture. The fully equipped kitchen comes complete with a Keurig and drip coffee maker and complimentary farm fresh eggs. The dining room is great for meals with family or friends. The home offers high speed internet, a designated workspace upstairs and streaming stations on the TV's. Two living spaces offer the flexibility of reading or talking in one room and watching TV in the other. Books, games & puzzles are available for your use.
The home offers two king size beds with Charles Rogers mattresses, premium linens, Tempur-pedic memory foam pillows and My Pillows for a good night's sleep. Both bedrooms have Roku TV's. The third bedroom has a single trundle bed that pulls out to form another King size bed or keep it separate for two twins. Extra sleeping accommodations include a queen size airbed and 2) adult-size cots and can be used in the office area or in the living room. A full bathroom upstairs offers 3-in-1 body wash for men, women & children while the half bath downstairs includes a 2nd hair dryer.
The laundry has a full size washer and dryer. Five mini-split units are located in the bedrooms, living room & dining room to keep you cool in the warmer months. The front of the house has a patio table and chairs for relaxing and there is a fire pit, chairs and roasting forks in the backyard for your campfire. Starter supplies include small quantities of laundry detergent, fabric softener, dishwasher pods, dish soap, paper towels and hand soap.
Within a 10-15 minute ride you can go hiking on the Appalachian Trail, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary or the Pinnacle at Blue Rocks. Leaser Lake has a 4 mile trail and is great for fishing & kayaking. You can golf at Olde Homestead, try your hand at basket weaving (The County Seat), take a ride on the WK&S Railroad or visit Crystal Cave. Be sure to visit one of the local farms for fresh vegetables, freshly butchered meat or visit an orchard for berry & apple picking. Follow the Lehigh Valley Wine Trail or stop for a drink at 8 Oaks Distillery.
Just 10 miles from the I-78 and 30 minutes from Jim Thorpe, Hamburg, the Lehigh Valley, Blue Mountain Ski Resort and Bear Creek Ski Area.
Grab some sandwiches at Wanamaker's General Store and take a day trip (1-2 hours) to the Poconos, Lancaster, Philadelphia or New York City.

Stayed for one night with two families (4 adults, two toddlers) on a trip to Hawk Mountain Sanctuary. We loved our brief stay here. The farmhouse is spacious, beautifully restored and exceptionally clean. The area is extremely quiet and serene (only one car passed the house during our stay) but we were close to Hawk Mountain, several good restaurants, a great playground, and Cabelas. Lorainne is the easily the best host we've encountered in various rentals over the years. We were amazed at the forethought she put into preparing this house for guests. We had everything we expected and many things we did not (fresh eggs for breakfast, a 'ready to light' firepit, toys for the kids, etc.) We will definitely return for our annual trip to Hawk Mountain next year.

Perfect getaway
My friends and I loved the house and the quiet beautiful countryside. Ron and Lorraine were great hosts; communication was comprehesive, easy, and filled lots of extra and useful information. The extra touches- fresh eggs in the fridge and chocolates in the rooms- were thoughtful and much appreciated. We would go back in a heartbeat.

Spectacular!
If you’re looking for a beautiful quiet country setting; this is it! This home is so well equipped for any length of stay. Charming is an understatement & the tranquility is beyond what we have ever experienced during a quick getaway. Plan to spend some of your time on this property & you’ll be glad you did. The amenities are so very well thought out & the cleanliness is so refreshing and welcoming. Just the simple touch of farm fresh eggs and breakfast options in the kitchen is so thoughtful. The throws in the living room were cozy, the bedding in the bedrooms were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen gadgets, coffee options and convenience of having basic condiments in the fridge was perfect. There’s even cushions for outdoor furniture and a grill. The property owners really outdid themselves! We stayed for one day, but spent time in the home & maybe four cars passed by. I would love to stay again soon!

About the host

Hosted by lorraine

Host profile image
We love to travel and usually book our stays at short term rentals. After many disappointing stays, we wanted to give our guests a great experience. Clean, comfortable beds, a place to relax, everything in working order and the amenities you need.

Why they chose this property

We love our country home and had the opportunity to purchase a neighboring property which we've completely renovated. In our opinion, you can't beat the sights & sounds of the country! Peace & privacy and only 20 minutes from Walmart, Lowes & other stores.

What makes this property unique

Country Splendor sits on a sleepy country road surrounded by rolling hills & fields. The layout of the land affords you plenty of privacy so you don't have to worry about keeping the neighbors awake if you have a late night around the campfire. We do not live far away and should be available quickly if you have any situations that need attention.
