A perfect getaway

My husband and I stayed here for a weekend getaway. It was very relaxing and quiet, but close to anything we wanted to do. We loved the hanging bed for reading and afternoon napping! Overall a fantastic stay

Amazing stay

Pete and Carol were excellent hosts that provided everything we could need. The home was beautiful and clean. We really enjoyed the peaceful setting and waking up to cute farm animals in the morning. We hope to travel again to this area just to stay again. Being welcomed with warm scones and fresh eggs foreshadowed a perfect stay.

Cozy stay in a beautiful area!

Wow, what a wonderful experience that we had staying at this property. Take a look at the pictures, it really is just as amazing as it looks. It has plenty of room to spread out, an amazing kitchen, incredible ambiance, and plenty of spots to sit and relax and watch the chickens. The hosts were very kind and helpful, and made sure we had everything that we needed. Hope to be back soon!

An Absolute Dream

To say this was one of the most relaxing, beautiful and serene experiences would be an understatement. The cottage was perfect… clean, exquisitely decorated and setup with everything I needed for a peaceful and enjoyable stay. And the scones… most delicious I’ve ever had! Not to mention the animals were a delightful addition. I didn’t want to leave! The hosts were more than accommodating and a joy to work with. I will absolutely come back to this little slice of tranquility!

Country stay

This property is a slice of heaven. Carol gave exact directions & easy keypad check in. The house is very cozy, extremely clean The kitchen is well equipped & farm fresh eggs in the fridge. The farm animals kept our dogs entertained and the fenced in yard for our dogs was great. A front porch with rockers to sit & enjoy your morning coffee or tea with a scone was very serene. The owners Carol & Pete are so kind and brought fresh homemade warm scones which were so delicious. We had a very relaxing stay just what we needed to recharge.

Wonderful!

This was by far one of our best experiences with a vacation rental! The home was immaculate, well-equipped, and comfortable. We were welcomed with delicious scones, a bouquet of roses, and treats for our pups. In the mornings, we were greeted by the farm animals, which was definitely a highlight of our stay! We loved meeting and chatting with the extremely kind owners. If you’re looking for a cozy getaway with all the charm of country life, this is the place to go. We will be back!

A Truly Perfect Getaway in the Country

We’ve stayed at a lot of great VRBO properties but this one ranks at the top! The homeowners were perfect hosts welcoming us to their beautiful home. The scones they made for us were incredible! It is evident that a lot of planning and expense went into making the Fairview a place where you truly feel at home. The kitchen has everything a cook would desire! Sitting outside watching the chickens, roosters, donkeys and Ferrari, the emu, was quite an enjoyable experience for us since we come from the city! Last year we stayed at their other property, the Mod Pod which was totally different but also wonderful. We will be returning to visit their next property, the Bird House, and again enjoying their wonderful hospitality.

Spectacular Stay!

We stayed a week in this cottage and absolutely loved it! Carol and Pete were warm and welcoming even before we arrived by answering all our questions and offering to help set up any activities we were interested in doing. When we arrived Carol brought us warm blueberry muffins and farm fresh eggs so we didn't have to worry about breakfast the next morning. The kitchen has every appliance you could need to make a delicious meal - just bring your creativity. The screened-in back porch had a hanging bed that was so inviting and comfortable that I snuck in a nap or two! The upstairs bathroom was spacious, very clean and all the elegant touches gave it a spa-like feel. I recommend going to the Lancaster Market to pick up your fresh vegetable, fruits, meats and cheeses - what a delight to walk through the market. If you love cheese we found an awesome restaurant in West Reading called 'Say Cheese' - yummy! We truly loved out time here and would recommend this place to anyone wanting a relaxing time in a first class home.

A Country Treat in Lancaster County

We felt a friendliness from the owners immediately on arrival. Warm scones and fresh eggs in the refrigerator - what's not to like. Also would have to give a superior grade for cleanliness. A little bit of whimsy with the swaying porch bed (don't worry - the upstairs bedroom has a "normal" bed) and another added extra comes from watching the emus, donkeys and chickens. The kitchen is well-equipped but unfortunately we were too busy to take advantage of it. Because my husband is very light sensitive, he would have preferred room darkening curtains rather than light-filtering in the bedroom. It was great for me because I love waking to some lightness and can never do so at home. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it if you are in the Lancaster/Columbia area.

We LOVED every single aspect of this home. It is minimalistic, but they choices for each piece of furniture, furnishings, construction of the house A+++. There was nothing wrong with our stay at all. Our hosts were wonderful and so very helpful and sweet. We loved the fresh scones, fresh eggs, and hospitality and kindness. We will definetly be back to enjoy it all, not to forget to mention our friends the chickens, roosters, emus and donkeys. It made our stay so wonderful! Stay, you will not be disappointed!

October Getaway

Property was great. Professionally, fully renovated mid 1800's house. More than enough for two people. Lots of charm. It is very close to the next rental, which would be nice to know up front if you are looking for more privacy. Outdoor grilles and gas fire-ring were fun and new. Farmette pasture right up to property, but was fun with the animals, especially the most friendly Emu. Was an excellent location to explore all of the Amish countryside. Backroads to get around busy Rt# 30 were easy to learn and GPS routed us perfectly everywhere. Host were very nice.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Heth

Host profile image

Pete & Carol have lived next door to the property 30+years. Carol grew up right up the road and the home they live in, next door to the cottage, was her Grandparents.

Why they chose this property

With growing up and living in the area for so long we know how enjoyable it is to be here. We have a private property and enjoy living here.

What makes this property unique

The historic area around us has so much to see and enjoy. Whether you enjoy nature, hiking, kayaking, boating, shopping, farmer's markets, the Amish, or relaxing you will have the opportunity for it all. So close to the Susquehanna River to be able to use it or the hiking trails around it. If you want to travel to a big city, we are centrally located to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, or New York City. But, you will enjoy the city of Lancaster and Columbia for their arts and antiques.
