This home is in a positively charming spot. Down the road from an old mill, along a creek. It has lovely grounds and was a wonderful spot for my brothers and I to reconnect while we visited family in the area.

Thanks Jane! We loved having you stay. Please come back any time you have a chance! ☺️
Property was very nice. Dozens of bugs throughout house that owner attributed to recent weather. She was very kind and offered to refund part of our cost.

I'm glad you found the house clean and tidy, and that you loved your stay. ❤️ We do apologize about the insects that attempted to escape the deluge outdoors. We have since sprayed around the outside walls of the house and that has inhibited their entrance. 👍🏻 Please come back again! 🤗
I can’t say enough about the property or the owners. The property is impeccable and completely equipped, we enjoyed the patio and grill and even did some fishing in the stream. Very quiet with an abundance of wildlife but minutes from stores. The whole house is updated with modern baths and kitchen with 2 fridges. Check in was easy, great communication, just really a perfect stay. We will definitely be back, we rented during a Carlisle event and it’s a short 15 minute drive.
Quiet upscale perfection! This gorgeous home was a perfect retreat spot for a small group of friends. There was plenty of comfortable space for us to relax, chat, cook, play games, and reflect as we sat by the fire. Every little detail has been considered to make your stay more comfortable; throw blankets to cuddle with, a full spice rack for cooking, and dry wood to build your outdoor fire. There are plenty of USB ports in each room to charge your electronics, high quality sheets and pillows, as well as personal care products in each bathroom. Just pack some comfy clothes, grab a good book, and order a few groceries... then step away from your life for a bit on this gorgeous piece of land. The host was very communicative and gracious. Highly recommend all around!

About the host
Hosted by Kay
My husband and I love to stay at guest houses when we travel. When this property became available, we knew it would be the perfect spot for people to relax, unwind and enjoy nature. We have attempted to create a place of peace and calm for you and your friends.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property because of its seclusion, the lovely creek and the abundance of waterfowl and wildlife. Also the close proximity to a small town, is helpful.
What makes this property unique
If your idea of vacation is simply to relax, we've got you covered. From grilling & dining on the patio while watching the waterfowl on the creek, to resting in the hammock, to walking the long lane onto the private road that spills back into Newville, you can relax, out of the public's eye. A small peninsula on the property allows you a wonderful vantage point to watch the waterfowl on their terms in their habitat! If you're feeling adventurous, you can fish at the popular trout fishing spot, Laughlin Mill itself, or...wheel your car down the winding roads that follow Big Spring Creek to any of the number of fishing spots created for the public. If you need to stretch your legs, a trailhead for Rails To Trails is only 5 min. away on the southwest edge of town. 10 min. north or south on 233 puts you in either Tuscarora State Forest or Michaux State Forest, both of which will provide you an endless network of hiking trails. Roll east into Carlisle (car show mecca) & stroll streets lined w/ casual or fine dining experiences & curiosity shops. After all that, return to the House at Cool Springs to unwind! ABOUT the house.... ☆ King bed room w/ ensuite bathroom ☆Basement bedroom with a queen bed & twin XL bunk beds. ☆ 3 additional queen rooms OTHER ROOMS.... ☆A formal seating area w/ desk for study or writing. ☆A relaxing living room w/ comfy sofas & recliners & gas firepace. ☆A basement living room with sofas & reclining seats & toy area. ☆Compact laundry room with new front load washer & dryer. ☆Nicely stocked kitchen for all your cooking needs - •new cooktop •microwave •oven •2 refrigerator/ freezers •dishwasher •electric frying pan, blender, waffle maker, toaster, hand mixer, tableware & dishes, kettles & bakeware, dishes & glassware etc. •spice rack, oil & vinegar •large pantries for storing food & snacks ☆kitchen includes a dinette area with comfy bar stools by the windows overlooking the creek. ☆newly renovated garage- a beautiful multi functional space.
