We strive to have our home clean and welcoming for each guest - I have no doubt our home will have the perfect touch to make your stay a memorable one.

Our front porch area is the perfect place to sit to watch the sunrise while enjoying a hot cup of coffee or in the peaceful cool of the evening as the sun sets. There are retired folks all around us and you will see them walking, biking, and enjoying their daily activities. You will also see Amish riding scooters or walking to and from the supermarket. You will also see horse and buggy's quite frequently.

**DISCOUNT for 28+ nights, the longer you stay the higher the discount. We love hosting long term guests, so let us know if there's anything we can do to make that possible for you.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The basement and garage is off limits to all guests. This is where the owner keeps his personal items. The owner works out of town and lives in the basement apartment. He is often away for extended periods, but occasionally returns home for a few days before leaving again. Because of this, some guests may see him during their stay while others may not. If you'd like, feel free to read the reviews from guests who have met him, they've had nothing but wonderful things to say!

You will have access to the whole property except the garage and basement. (Owners Property) Feel free to use the front porch area, back patio and backyard area. The owner typically doesn't use these areas, so feel free to make yourself at home. The owner does a good job keeping to himself when he is home for a few days. He is an older well respected human being. :)

My family enjoyed every minute of our time in this lovely home. The owner was nearby and available if needed. When we return to this area, we will schedule our trip plans to be certain this property is available. We all enjoyed the sound of horses & buggies riding down our street. Great home!!

This property was exceptional. This single home was immaculate and fully stocked. Close to all of the Lancaster County attractions but on a quiet country road where you would see horses and buggies passing by daily. A beautiful back yard area with plenty of seating and a nice fire pit. Our group was two couples and our four year old granddaughter. Three bedrooms and two baths suited us perfectly. Highly recommended.

The house was just as advertised, only a bit larger than the pics made us think it would be. The location is super-convenient, and they weren’t kidding about Amish carriages coming through regularly! Like others have said, we never heard or encountered the owner, there was no lack of privacy. We were very pleased with the entire experience, and will certainly look to stay again.

Very quiet, hard to believe that you are just a couple of blocks away from shops and more. Horse and buggies passing by several times a day. Tastefully decorated and well stocked. We did have one small problem with the internet and the hostess came by and communicated with me until it was up and running. Will definitely stay here again if we’re ever in the area.
