  The house is a short distance from shopping (approx 12miles) . The scenery is beautiful. There is a lot to do. Enjoyed all the amish shoppes as well as outlet shopping. This house was very clean and owner supplies many basic items including hand soap, toilet paper, even laundry soap! Great place for picture taking! The owner, Trina, is a gem! Very fair.

  We arrived with a lit christmas tree with the presents I mailed to them from santa for us and our grandson. He really thinks that there is a santa. He believes that the elf on the shelf. That told santa we were going there. The rental was very clean and homey there hospitality was outstanding. What a beautiful setting on the creek and of course the old mill. We were very happy with the rental. Too bad I didnt find this last year in the summer when we were there. A BIG THANK YOU TO YOU TRINA Thanks David

  We really enjoyed our week at the A Frame Sickman's Mill. The house had plenty of room for our family reunion. The owners were very nice and accomodating. It is a great house for a fun family time. It was in a good location too so we were able to see lots of areas of PA. I would recommend others rent the house for their next PA adventure. Thank you!

  We wish we had more time to stay at this wonderful vacation home at Sickman's Mill. The owners are extremely friendly and helpful. The property is beautiful and meticulously cared for. The house is quite large and comfortable. Nice natural setting next to a clean river. If you are looking for a great getaway this is the place.

  This A -Frame home was absolutely everything described and more... WE loved it and would definetly stay again. Eric and Trina are wonderful to deal with. Our daughters loved the opportunity to go tubing down the creek. Beautiful.. PEaceful Property... We found it well stocked with games and movies for the whole family.. as well as many good books and magazines. Kids especially enjoyed sitting on the upper deck and night and watching the lightning bugs .. they almost made it look like christmas decorations in the trees. The conestoga wagon restaurant was real close by and great food. as well as Carusos Pizza in Willow Street. Something fun the kids loved was visiting Pine View Dairy.. they enjoyed the Strawberry Milk in Bags.. as well as the homemade icecream. Thanks for sharing your home with us Trina & Eric.. we would love the opportunity to stay again soon.

  What a wonderful choice. It was the first time I had used VRBO and was a little nervous but it all went well. The property owners were wonderful! We found everythingn we needed and just as described. It was a quiet, relaxing area but close enough that it was an easy drive to the sight-seeing/activities we wanted to do. Looking forward to a repeat visit!

  We had a great time at Sickman's Mill and the location is beautiful. The A-frame is big and has lots of room for big families. Fishing and Camp fires at night in front of the cabin. The owners are very helpful and willing to show the Mill and tell of its history.
