One of the best rental we’ve ever had

The spot is calm and very clean. A lot of room and space inside and outside. Close enough to Lancaster city so it’s east to go and far enough so you can live some wilderness experience. We all loved it.

Second times a charm

This was our second time staying at Creekside Cottage. It's cozy and well-stocked, with plenty of space for our 3 families coming together to celebrate New Years Eve. We like the quiet location. It doesn't feel like a generic rental, it feels like a home. We played lots of board games and roasted smores in the firepit. I would recommend to families who want to get away from the hustle and bustle and enjoy the creek and the horseback riders passing through.

Winter wonderland

This was our 2nd trip to Creekside Cottage, both times in January, both times with my extended family. We continue to appreciate the 1st floor master bedroom for our older parents (no stairs); the basement rec room for the kids; the well-appointed kitchen; and the marvelous view from the living room. Lots of snow on this trip, which the whole family enjoyed playing in and looking at from the warm interior. Great communication and support from the hosts. We'd definitely book again! Thank you for providing this great space for making memories!

Love the house. We were all very comfortable. There were just a few minor fixes needed, which I noted to you. The family is getting so big we may not be able to stay here again.

The property is very peaceful! The home is spacious and well thought out - air hockey was a great hit with the kids! This was our 2nd stay and the property is awesome - it is a scenic drive to Lancaster and surrounding areas. We enjoyed our stay and are trying to plan a return trip!

Beautiful cottage in lovely secluded location.

My mom sisters and aunt sister at the cottage for our annual girls getaway weekend and fell in love with the place. It was beautifully decorated, clean with plenty of room to spread out. The property is secluded while overlooking the creek and rolling hills and fields. Unfortunately we didn’t get the opportunity to use the fire pit, it it was in the perfect location in the back k of the property. It was an amazing setting and the fall colors were gorgeous.We plan to come back next year!!!

Cabin in the Woods

During Thanksgiving, we walked into a warm house and was greeted with a very well decorated home. Spacious and scenic and remote. My parents are in their 70s so the master bedroom was well placed on the main level. No steps involved. So much stuff to look at in the home. Nice big dining room table for thanksgiving dinner and nice living room for game night. I liked the handwritten notes in the welcome book and the family photos was a nice touch. Nice mix of modern and traditional 30 minute drive to Franklin and Marshall College , my alma mata and spaghetti pizza! 35 minute drive to Sight n Sound and Shady Maple wasn’t too far away. We enjoyed our stay.

Great Country Hideaway

My family has stayed at Creekside Cottage for 3 years in a row and we plan to return. We love the location about 30 minutes from Sight & Sound Theatre but out in "the country" with a creek running through and a firepit to help enjoy the outdoor setting. The house is clean and roomy with a well-stocked kitchen and plenty of room for everyone. There is little traffic and we've enjoyed walking the lane to feed the horses. The hostess is great to work with and very responsive to any concerns.

About the Owner:
Don Wagner - Southern Lancaster County has been my home for my entire life. I live 20 minutes away from Creekside Cottage and had been in the Real Estate business for many years. It has been my vision to create a place for guests to stay while visiting beautiful Southern Lancaster County.
***Sadly, Don Wagner passed away on March 27, 2023. He is dearly missed by family and friends.
The Hosts: Laura & Kara are the daughter & granddaughter of Don Wagner. We plan to continue the tradition of hospitality at Creekside Cottage.

Why they chose this property

This property is adjacent to my country cabin and stables. The rich history and natural attractions in this area inspired me to build Creekside Cottage. Come relax and explore this beautiful area!

What makes this property unique

I designed Creekside Cottage with comfort and efficiency in mind. The wood used for the kitchen island, kitchen table, walls in the den and Master bathroom all came from the trees on my property. If you stroll down behind the cottage, you will discover the most amazing natural rock wall. If you desire to visit an authentic Amish community, then this is your place.
May you find peace, comfort and serenity during your visit!
