About this property

A spacious upstairs apartment in an outback, peaceful setting in farm country.

The guesthouse is a nice, spacious upstairs apartment in newly built home on a quiet back country road surrounded by fields & forest. We are located in the heart of Amish country in Lancaster County away from the hustle and bustle, where you will hear the sound of horse and buggies. There is a one room school house a short walk up the road. You can watch the school children walking to school every morning while school is in session.

The sitting area includes 2 full sofas, one folds down to a bed. Also a dormer with a single sofa bed. The kitchen is made with old barn wood from the family farm.

Peace and Quiet

The apartment was absolutely beautiful, super clean and very welcoming (my teens had a container of homemade cookies waiting for them). Anything we might have needed for our long weekend was there. Very quiet area and surrounded by farmland. Would happily recommend and go back.

What a lovely weekend stay

This is one of the nicest properties that we have stayed at through VRBO. The upstairs apartment was so lovely and had everything that we needed for our weekend stay. The host met us when we arrived and she was kind enough to leave a plate of cookies for us, which was a very nice touch. I hope to come back for other visits to Lancaster and stay here again.

The setting is lovely--right in the middle of farm country but just minutes away from all our favorite Lancaster stores. The apartment was so neat and clean. The hosts are great people. We hope to go back again.

Sight and Sound visit

We truly enjoy visiting the Lancaster area but do not like hotels - this VRBO was priced appropriately and offered muck more than a hotel could. The owners provided a continental breakfast and all of the comforts of home! This home is in a very quiet farming community yet minutes to the community of Ephareta. Restaurants, gas stations and pharmacy s are minutes from this beautiful home.

Absolutely wonderful stay!!

We enjoyed a wonderful girls’ weekend at this gorgeous home!! The apartment is immaculate and beautifully decorated. Beds were comfortable and we appreciated the extra welcoming touches such as breakfast, yummy cookies, coffee and half and half, and homemade bread and butter. The location was quiet and peaceful yet close to area attractions. The check in/check out process was straight forward and simple. I would definitely return to this lovely home on future trips and highly recommend it to others !! Thank you for a fantastic stay and for your hospitality!!!

Gem found on countryside

The living space was larger than expected. Kitchen was stocked with everything we would need. The location was quite and peaceful. We were about 1/2 hour from sight and sound and American music theatre. The owners were on sight and were very nice. We will be going back for sure.

Basketball tournament weekend

It was do nice after spending time at loud and crowded basketball tournament to come back to a quiet and comfortable apartment. The apartment had everything we needed for the 3 of us. It was clean and owners provided great hospitality (homemade cookies, bottled water, coffee with cream). It does not have and oven or stovetop( says that in details), but we were able to cook breakfast everday using electric fry pan, toaster or microwave). Just wish it was not so hot outside ,so we could have enjoyed outside sitting area Will definitely recommend to others or use again.

About the host

Hosted by Charlotte Wenger

Host profile image
As Mennonites, we have lived all but two years of our married life, and raised our four children on the farm, 42 years. Just this past year we built a new house up the road and daughter, son-in-law & 6 children moved on the farm. Elvin will continue to work on the farm with the family. We have been blessed with 4 children, all married and now have 25 grandchildren. Two of our daughters live close by, another daughter lives in Indiana where her husband is administrator of Elnora Bible Institute and our son lives in Alaska working in mission aviation for MARC (mission aviation repair center). We are so thankful to have the farm stay in the family.

Why they chose this property

This property is a very peaceful, quiet getaway, yet not far to local attractions. Kitchen Kettle in small town of Intercourse is only 15 min drive through rolling farm back country roads. Sight & Sound is 30 min. away where you can see the Bible come alive with professional actors. Also have outlet shopping about half hour away.
