  My husband,grandson & I have just returned home from our stay in Intercourse,Pa. Grandson just loved the swings,cows,& Amish buggies but most of all he loved Mrs. Lena.Loved the milk that she left for us & the garden area as well as the entire property was beautiful. We plan on going back in the fall and take another couple with us & spend more time with Lena & Dan. Great location & so many buggies went right by the house.Our grandson said on the way home he did not miss having a t.v. at all & he is 10 years old. Internet was great to have though and plenty of reading material right in the apt.Can't wait til fall!!!!!

  My family stayed at Lena's guest house last weekend and had an absoultely lovely time. The guest house was spacious, clean, and conveniently located. Lena set up a pack-and-play for our 8-month old and prepared a delicious banana bread for us. Her hospitality was warm and welcoming. It's hard traveling with a baby, but the guest house was perfect- a kitchenette to prepare and store baby food, a bathtub to bathe in, plus lots of room for baby gear, and soft carpet for him to crawl around safely! Our son loved the swings out back too! The views were so peaceful and quiet, yet the local attractions are all just a stone's throw away. I highly recommend staying here and we can't wait to go back!

  The accomodations were beautiful, clean and spacious. The listing was accurate, but pictures don't do justice to the roominess of the apartment. The property was extremely clean and well-maintained. The owners were very friendly and very helpful with any questions we had. The shoofly pie was invredible!! I would recommend this property to anyone wanting to be in the quietness of the country, have room to spread out and enjoy the comforts of home. Very close to Philadelphia, which was a wonderful day. Valley Forge was a close, wonderful place to visit. We enjoyed the Amish stores and shops. You shouldn't miss the amish buffets. The owner was so sweet......a great time.

  I loved the place. The size was excellent for the 4 of us (2 children and a couple). Ms. Lena is responsive to your every need. I loved the klippity-klop sound of horses passing on the main road in front of the house. The kids always ran to the window when they heard that. The swing set and sand box they liked. Thank you for the cinnamon buns, milk, spring water, air mattress, jam, bread, and everything else. The place is clean. You live above the Esh's but the sound proofing is good. I will return. I think for the price, it is great. You are really just steps a way from the farm in the backyard. It is very relaxing. I like that there is no tv because it makes you do things. Wifi is available but I don't have a laptop- thought some may like to know that. Tim Wubnig Brooklyn, NY

  This is perfect accommodations and very centrally located for a fantastic family vacation! Our Family (2 adults and 2 teenagers) stayed in Dan and Lena's guest house as our central location while we visited Hershey Amusement Park, Valley Forge National Park, Amish Country, The Largest Cabella's in the United States, Arlington National Cemetery and several other landmarks in Washington D.C. The guest house and farm is very roomy with plenty to do for all- our boys enjoyed the swing set, sand box, eating strawberries from Lena's garden, and petting the cows and pigs. They also enjoyed delivering hay with Dan at another local farm. We rented the extra bedroom that is offered and were so pleased with the extra space. We were also pleasantly surprised at the wonderful view from the bedroom. 2 windows facing Lena's garden and surrounding farms- You could hear the clip clop of horse and buggy going by while enjoying the pleasant view. The guest house is exceptionally clean and the grounds follow suit. Thank you so much Lena for the fresh cut flowers out of your beautiful garden, warm cinnamon rolls, home made strawberry jam/ bagels, strawberries, the list could go on :) The photos shown are beautiful but do not do this property justice- The true beauty can only be captured by actually seeing it. Thank you Dan and Lena for your hospitality- It was a blessing to stay 8 nights in your guest house and a vacation we will not soon forget.

  We three senior ladies were delighted with our lodgings -- comfortable, quiet, lovely country setting, and so very clean. Lena and Dan are so kind; they made us feel welcome and as if they would do anything for us. It was a pleasure to meet them. We arrived late at night and were pleasantly surprised to find milk and cereal on hand for the next morning -- what a nice touch. We were all impressed and would certainly stay there any time we are in the area.

  This is a wonderful place to unwind and take in the essence of a beautiful day! Lena and Dan Esh are so welcoming and friendly. This is the second year in a row that my sister and I had the pleasure of staying at the Esh’s Guest Room. I felt like I was coming home for a visit! Tina & I and our cousin Ann branched out from our comfortable base to go on a buggy ride via the Kitchen Kettle Village and through a covered bridge, attend a fundraiser/auction at the local Fire House in Intercourse, go shopping at a number of quilt shops, and a most memorable tour of Gettysburg, PA. After our day’s adventures, whatever those activities may have entailed, it always felt lovely knowing we were going back to the Esh’s to lay our heads down to rest. Try the swings, even if you are over 10 years old... The property is kept in tip-top condition, beds are very comfortable with plenty of covers/pillows, etc. Any time we had questions regarding directions or shopping, Lena or Dan would be available to describe the best road to take or options for the types of things we were searching for in our shopping.

  My sister, cousin, and I were completely blessed and spoiled recently, as we spent 4 very comfortable nights here! We thoroughly enjoyed the swings and taking photos of each other, birds and flowers. It was a brilliant central location for our day trips to Gettysburg and discovering local towns' activities & shops. Great hosts & a super great place to stay! =-}

  My husband and I originally booked our trip here to Lancaster County for September 2011. But due to illness/injuries we had to cancel and were not able to rebook until February 2012. We finally came for Valentine's Day (2/13-2/16). The pictures online do not do the property justice. The apartment was larger than we thought. It was beautifully decorated and very well kept. The country views could be seen from every window and the beds were extra comfy. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the countryside but were near restaurants and shopping. Getting away from the hustle & bustle of the city was what we needed. Being from Philadelphia, we have both been to Lancaster County before, but we have never stayed at a guesthouse. This was a better value and it felt more like home. Unfortunately, on this trip we were not able to meet Ms Lena & Mr Dan, who were away themselves, but their daughter, Martha was available if we needed anything or had any questions. We are moving to North Carolina and it could be some time before we can return, but we definitely want to return. Listening to the cows, the sound of the horses coming down the street and the country views made us want to stay one more day and we glad they were able to accommodate us. This has spoiled us and we will want to stay there instead of a hotel. I will definitely recommend this property to family & friends.

  The apartment was very, very clean and comfortable. We could not have asked for any nicer hosts. We enjoyed the Shoo-fly pie. The garden and yard were gorgeous. It was great hearing the clip clop of the horses and see the buggy's. I regret that I did not get to spend some time with the hosts but we were trying to see things in the area in the short time we had. Would love to go back and just sit and talk. My daughter, sister and I would recommend the place to anyone wanting a very nice place to stay and very pleasant hosts.
