Great relaxing stay. My husband and I traveled with both sets of parents and we all had a very comfortable experience. The stairs were a bit difficult for our elderly parents but we made it work. The home had everything needed for our stay. Location was great. Beautiful area. Views of the river/lake were beautiful and we all enjoyed the trains going by. Would definitely stay again. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us. God bless.

We stayed here with our wedding party for our wedding weekend. We were able to host a cookout, our rehearsal walk through, and all the weekend festivities. Brian was always responsive to my questions and provided us with a stress free weekend. The views are AMAZING! The property truly is a steal, picturesque and equipped with everything you need.

Autumn on the Lake

We had a wonderful stay and had ample space to provide escape when needed and gathering spaces for game time and fellowship. Brian was very attentive to a couple of minor situations and was able to fix them immediately. We all enjoyed the tranquility and view each morning and all the items needed to prepare meals was terrific. We only wished that the fire pit was cleaned out and had smaller logs to burn. Overall we truly enjoyed our stay.

Lake House South is wonderful

We've been returning here for years in February to soak out the midwinter blahs. The place is well kept and beautiful. There is not much to do here and we like that. The Hot tub and train (there is a RR track between the Lake and the house) are comforting. Well be back!

Peaceful stay. aside from the occasional freight train to mix things up. Beutiful views with humming birds coming to visit and the occasional bald eagle hanging out on the neighbors treetop. The house was well equipped. We enjoyed the stay.

Perfect Mother's Day GIFT!

Lakehouse South continues to be my personal favorite VRBO and the only place our group wants to go for Girls Weekend! The deck is, by far, my favorite - the views of the lake, the eagles, baby geese, boaters! Cleanliness and communication always outstanding. Repeat renter and will be back.

Fun for everyone

We had a wonderful stay at the Lake House South. The views were amazing, and it was fun to watch the birds and bunnies in the yard. We had everything we needed and then some. The home was clean except for some dead bugs on the high windowsills that were hard to reach for a cleaning person. It did make a difference when looking out the bedroom windows over the Livingroom and we wished they weren't there. We loved the pottery decor and the variety of books on the bookshelves. The road was closed right near us, so it was a very quiet and peaceful area. The train track is close, but it was fun to watch them when they passed through. There were not that many, but some came through at night. Even so, it was not that loud and if you book a place with a train track, expect to hear trains. We would definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again. I would also totally recommend going to Village Greens Golf Mini Golf near Strasburg while you are in the area. It was one of the most beautiful mini golf places I have ever been to. Waterfalls and flowers!

Nice Riverview

The Lake House was a nice play to spend a week away with friends. The water was the perfect temperature and we were impressed by how well stocked the kitchen was. There were trains that ran across several times a day that was nice to watch. The sound proofing of the walls did a good job keeping them fairly quiet. Our only real issues we had were the beds weren't very comfortable and there was a lot of ants in the kitchen. Overall I would rent this location again.
