Spacious and unique rental

The property met our needs for space and amenities. The area and setting of the property is lovely. It was chilly the week we visited otherwise we would have spent more time outside. We had an easy check in with good instructions. We had no need to contact the owner during our stay.We were satisfied with the accommodations.

6th Annual Sibling Trip

The property was beautiful as well as the view. The house was clean and had everything we needed. The ice machine was broke but called Brian and he was very accommodating and fixed it right away. We were very fortunate to meet him face to face. Enjoyed visiting with him. A great place and centrally located for everything we wanted to do.

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.

Beautiful view

We loved being next to the train tracks and the water. It was amazing sitting out on the deck, watching all the boaters each morning. There were some minor issues A few things not working, like the water and ice machine. There were also crumbs all over the place, and we had to vacuum the first day. However, the bathrooms were extremely clean and we fully appreciated the stocked towels and kitchen. Especially the soap at each sink! We all agreed we would come back.

Enjoy biking, newly open Enola Low Grade Rail Trail, 29 miles. Also nice for hiking, or jump on the Conestoga Trail which connects to the Mason Dixon Trail, 39 miles of local trails. Shenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve is best in April.
