This was a beautiful cottage! It was exactly as described/pictured. When we arrived we were met by the owner who walked through & showed us everything and even recommended a place for supper. (excellent choice there as well-Shady Maple Smorgasboard) There was a nice grassy area for the dog to run and interesting property to explore. I would highly recommed this location!

Enjoyable Adamstown

When staying in this home my family discovered its location in Adamstown along with Lancaster, which are about 25 to 30 minutes apart. Adamstown is full of antique stores with wonderful collections. We also enjoyed eating at the nearby Black Horse Inn, which uses prime meat in their hamburgers. The home is very pleasing to the eye with a display of antiques, and is convenient, sitting on a main road. The owners included some delicious sweet bread as well as milk when we arrived. Into our stay, my keys were locked into my van, some 40 minutes away from the house. The owners went out of their way to help us, enlisitng a family member who drove my husband over to my location with his set of keys. Parking is in the rear of the home, across the back yard which has a hot tub to use. The yard is shared with another rental property of the owners and I enjoyed visiting with fellow house renters. Passes to the community pool were made available for week day use, which my daughter enjoyed. Staying in the home gave the experience of small town Pennsylvania, a sense of community. A sidewalk is just outside the front door, and it is possible to walk all over town on sidewalks, something that modern day builders too often leave out.

Thank you for our wonderful, comfortable weekend! The cottage is very welcoming and such a joy to come back to after a long day in the rain. The beds were comfortable and the small touches like the milk, cereal, cake and toys for sparky were nice touches. We loved the Gordonville Mud Market & make a killing at the quilt auction

Our stay here was a surprise for me, thanks to my gem of a daughter-in-law and my thoughtful husband. With my son, we all enjoyed a weekend of antiquing, beautiful weather, good dining and a cozy, welcoming house. Such a quiet street, and lovely accommodations. The pound cake was a nice touch...we felt graciously received. Thank you!

It was a very comfortable place to come back to at the end of the day. The cake you left us was delicious! The beds upstairs were comfy and just the way all the rooms were designed made it feel like it was our home! We also loved sitting in the huge whirlpool tub. Our stay here was like it was our home! Thank-you for a nice home away from home!

This cottage was a lovely place to stay. It was very clean, comfortable, beautifully decorated and well-equipped. The owners were very nice and easy to deal with when booking, and the lemon cake they left for us was absolutely delicious. The town of Adamstown doesn't have a lot to do, but it is within driving distance of Lancaster County and lots of other attractions. We would definitely recommend this cottage to people looking to explore Lancaster County.

Owner response:We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay in Lancaster County. We hope to see you again soon.

Very lovely home and very comfortable. Very clean and neat as a pin. It's very obvious that a lot of thought went into making it perfect- From the cake to the milk to all the supplies. Even my two little dogs were happy. We have rented many houses for vactions and this is by far the best. Thank you- We will be back!

Thank you for a nice stay in this very welcoming cottage. It was a great place to "come home" to after our daily adventures. We met the chipmunk on the back patio and Maddie loves the jacuzzi tub. Great finds: *Lunch on the Strausburg railroad *The town of Lititz and the chocolate cafe *Pirate Day at the PA Resaissance Faire Thanks again! The Koehnes Elaine, Wes, Laura, and Maddie

Very comfortable home. Kitchen is extremely well-equipped - the best I have ever had in a vacation rental. Owners and employees were very friendly and helpful. It was great to have such a nice, safe yard for our children to go out and play in, and the public pool was spotless and fun. The kitchen area gets WARM on summer afternoons- no A/C in here, and the windows have no screens and most are painted shut, but there is a lovely dining area that stays nice and cool. We will stay here again.
