Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Lancaster
We started out with a Bed & Breakfast that has been in business for 20 years and decided that we wanted to venture into the Vacation rental business. We purchased the two cottages in 2003 and started renovations. The Dragonfly cottage opened for rentals in 2005, and the Firefly opened a year after in 2006.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We are situated in a small town that is convenient to all the major tourism sites like Dutch Wonderland and Hershey Park. We are also close enough to Gettysburg, Philadelphia, and Harrisburg for day trips. We have quite a bit of land so guest love to bring the children and dogs and have plenty of space for them to stretch their legs

This is our 2nd year having our church's Women's Retreat at the Adamstown Inn and Cottages. It is the perfect setting for a group our size (about 19 women)! We have our meetings and meals in the larger cottage, the Adamastown Inn. Several ladies sleep in the Adamstown Inn as well, but with 19 people, we needed additional sleeping rooms. The two smaller cottages (The Firefly & Dragonfly) provide the additional sleeping quarters, as well as a private place to get away from the other ladies and reflect if needed. The staff is amazing! They are quick to respond if we have any questions or problems (or lock ourselves out of one of the houses:) The basket of goodies they provide in each house upon arrival is an added bonus! They recommended the restaurant, Judy's on Cherry, to us last year and we loved it. We visited Judy's again this year and were not disappointed. The only downside would be that each bedroom does not necessarily have its own private shower (some have very nice whirlpool tubs in them instead). For anyone who does not enjoy taking a bath, they are required to share a bathroom with ladies in the other bedrooms. Other than that (which noone even complained about to me), the ladies absolutely love the cottages and look forward to coming back!
Owner response:It was once again a pleasure to host the Women's retreat in our homes. We look forward to seeing them again. We do try to allow a certain amount of amenities so that our cottages are well suited to families as well as romantic couples. We love having them and they take splendid care of our home.
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, sightseeing, pet owners, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.

Our stay here at the cottage was wonderful. As soon as we walked in we felt a sense of home. I would recommend the cottage to all our friends. We look forward to spending another vacation here again!

This is a very nice cottage - our first visit to Adamstown I was particularly "intrigued" by the village and that the shop-keepers lived upstairs- awesome idea! We enjoyed antiquing and visiting several of the covered bridges in the area. We also enjoyed the decorations/antiques in the house.

Upon arrival our greater Kristin was friendly & informative! She showed us around the cottage and gave certain instructions on how things work. We were impressed with the cleanliness of this cottage and were given a "welcoming" Lemon Bread which was delicious. Our two dogs Pumpkin & Patches were also welcomed with a very generous gift package....their tails were definately wagging! We've had a very comfortable stay...almost felling like home, and will always remember the "Firefly Cottage". Adamstown was wonderful! Thanks for a wonderful time!

The cottage exceeded our expectations. The decor is very warm and cozy. We loved it. The children really enjoyed the jacuzzi. If we could have stayed longer we would have. Maybe the next time we are in the USA? So thanks for everything.

Thank you for a very special vacation time. We have had a wonderful time at this cottage and throughout Pennsylvania. The weather has been fantastic. Beetlejuice lives in the attic, according to David. He professes to have heard him roaming around. Thank you for all of your hard work to make the Firefly so beautiful. Thank you for all the beautiful and thoughtful preparations for our visit. The weather was great, especially the first two days. The fruits, vegetables, and food were fantastick. I will never be satisfied with a tomato until we come this way again.
