"This place is absolutely charming with breathtaking, direct water views! It was the perfect spot for our girls' weekend getaway. The host was incredibly accommodating and had excellent response times. The kitchen was truly well-stocked with everything we needed for cooking, and having laundry on-site was a huge plus. Highly recommended!"

My sister and I had an absolutely glorious stay at the Lake House for our 3rd Annual Sister Vacation. The weather was summer like, and the views were spectacular. The house met all our needs - spacious kitchen, as we like to cook most of our meals, 2 bathrooms, comfortable living room furniture with large TV and streaming, generous bedrooms with very comfy mattresses, plenty of towels, cleaning products, pantry items - just about anything you would ever need.We traveled to several surrounding areas during our stay. Our favorites: Hershey - trolley tour and theater are must dos, ice cream at The Old Barn is the best, Shenks Ferry Wildflower Preserve (March and April are the peak times), and just hanging out at the Lake House and paddling on the river make for a fun-filled week!And, Karen and Brian - If I could give them each 10 stars, I would! They were so quick and gracious to respond to anything we asked. The TLC they pour into keeping their property in immaculate condition is very impressive. We couldn’t be happier with our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Brian Ament

Host profile image
I am always rejuvenated when I'm here at the river. I get a feeling of tranquility seeing the eagles and other wildlife in the area. I love being able to just jump on my boat ( any excuse is a good one ) and take a ride on the water. Let me tell you about the Safe Harbor Indian Petrogylphs and the local history and botany.

Why they chose this property

If you like getting away from it all, need to unwind or great place to play ~~ you found it!
The best area for boating, from waterskiing to kayaking, or fishing. We are close enough if want to have a nice dinner & show. The Fulton Opera House, the American Music Theater, Sight & Sound and several movie theaters are only 1/2 hour drive. If you are new to the area, come discover Amish Country, antiquing in Columbia or experiencing the clock and watch museum.

What makes this property unique

The Lake's tranquility and all the other things it has to offer may be the reason why the Indians chose to live here. Check out Indian Steps Museum, The Conestoga Historical Society, Canal Lock 12, Tucquan Glenn Nature Preserve , relax ~~ fish, boat or hike.
