About the host

Hosted by Emily Reed

Host profile image
Lancaster holds a special place in our hearts. When my husband was just five years old, his family moved into a historic home on Centre Avenue — and decades later, we found ourselves back on the same street, restoring a historic home of our own.
This vacation home was actually our first home for ten wonderful years. It’s where we brought home babies, hosted birthday parties, and poured love into every corner. Now, we’ve thoughtfully transformed it into a peaceful retreat for others to enjoy. It’s more than a place to stay — it’s part of our story. And we hope it becomes a beautiful part of yours too.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Lancaster’s historic charm the moment we first visited. This neighborhood has a quiet, small-town feel with tree-lined streets and friendly neighbors, yet it's just a short walk from a vibrant downtown filled with local shops, coffee spots, and family-owned restaurants.
We wanted to create a space where people could slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the beauty of a peaceful community — and this neighborhood gave us the perfect canvas. Lancaster has heart, history, and hospitality, and we’re honored to share it with our guests.

What makes this property unique

The Lancaster Bungalow isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a home we’ve lovingly restored with our own hands. Nearly every detail, from the refinished vintage furniture to the custom-built loft and cozy outdoor space, was chosen to create warmth, beauty, and connection.
Guests often tell us it feels like walking into a peaceful retreat — thoughtfully designed, full of charm, and instantly welcoming. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the patio, watching your kids play in the loft, or relaxing by the fire pit under the stars, we hope this home gives you rest, joy, and a few unexpected moments of delight.
