Longwood Gardens Visit

We enjoyed our stay so much! It was only a short 30 minute drive to the gardens. The house was cozy and well taken care of… we enjoyed the garden on the property and sitting out on the porch every morning watching the Amish buggies go by and bird watching.

Cozy house with everything you need!

We loved our stay! We were meeting some friends in Lancaster, and this provided a good base. The house was just as cute as listed and was only 13 minutes from a grocery store. Maureen is great and communicative… highly recommend!

Favorite place to stay!

This was our second time staying at this property. We love quaint home and country setting. The house is immaculate and full of charm. The host, Maureen, is so helpful with recommending places to visit and tips about the area. She is so thoughtful, leaving the porch light on and door unlocked for us when we arrived late.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I bought this property in 1990 because it was located next door to our home. This house and our home were originally built by the same family. The guest house was build in 1885 and ours was built in 1890. We have invested 30 years renovating the two properties and 95% of the work we have done ourselves. Some people golf; we renovate!
It was a residential rental home until 5 years ago. All our children are adults and do not live locally. We decided to make it into a guest house for them so when visiting they can spread out and relax with their children.
We have used VRBO type rentals for a number of years when traveling. So it was natural fit to welcome guests a few weeks a year to enjoy our rural farming location.
