We absolutely loved our stay here! The location was great and it was close to all activities in lancaster and right on a main road. It had plenty of room for our large group of 9. We all felt right at home and so comfortable. It had everything we needed included like coffee, detergent pods, plenty of towels and washcloths. We also enjoyed the backyard and the horses on the property as well as the basketball hoop. Definitely don’t hesitate to book this great house which was also accompanied by great hospitality by the hosts.

Great for extended family

We had a lovely visit with my parents, kids, aunt and uncle. The house was cozy and clean and big enough for 11 of us to spread out, even though we spent most of our time visiting in the large kitchen around the table. It was the perfect setting for our after-Christmas family trip to sight and sound theater. Thank you for the delicious gingerbread cookies. Highly recommend this home to large families. We would love to come visit again next year!

Family Christmas in Amish Country

We were a family of ten: grandparents, parents, and children who chose this house as our place to celebrate Christmas a few days after the holiday itself. The location is great, convenient to attractions in Lancaster County. The house is spacious and well kept. We were given a warm welcome, which included some home-made treats left for us on our arrival. We appreciate that all of the linens are supplied and we did not need to wash them before our departure. We would seriously consider booking this house again for another holiday gathering. Thank you to our VRBO hosts!

Absolutely Perfect

We come to Lancaster for Sight and Sound every year. We’ve stayed a few places, but this was by far the best. The location was conveniently located near restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and the theater. It was exceptionally clean. The beds were impressively comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with supplies and some basic pantry items. The rooms were spacious. Lastly, the hospitality was unmatched. We enjoyed getting to know the owners’ parents who live next door as well. They are some of the sweetest people you’ll meet. When we come back next year, we plan to stay here if it’s available.

We’re a family of 5 siblings. One brother and five sisters. Ages 59-75. This year we chose Lancaster as our two night getaway (siblings only) and fell in love with this beautiful house! The cleanest rental we have ever experienced, well organized and every necessity you can think of is provided! Not to mention a delicious baked good waiting for us! The location was ideal and the home was utterly perfect for the 5 of us. Lots of memories, laughs and love were shared and we will be back next year as we’ve found a gem!
