Located just off the beaten path near the village of Gap, you'll find this cute getaway nestled in the quiet, among mostly Amish farms and businesses.

This is a fully remodeled and tastefully decorated escape. It whispers romance, relaxation, and renewal. You can eat on the back deck, relax in the hot tub and count the stars, or sit on the patio and enjoy the view of the landscaped backyard with a small pond and or watch the Amish children play.

In the stone basement an old original fireplace and comfy sofa beckons you to sit by the fire. The romantic bedroom suite features a comfortable king-size bed with a partial canopy. The fully equipped kitchen makes in house meal preparation easy. This is an ideal place for honeymoons and anniversaries, and truly a place you'll want to come back to. The vaulted bedroom ceiling with exposed beams and skylight is very distinctive.

This historic cottage is part of Spring Wood Organic Farm which is a 200 acre third generation Mennonite family farm operated by Roman and Lucy Stoltzfoos with the help of their eleven children. Most days you will see cattle and other animals peacefully grazing on well kept pastures. All this is within 20 minutes of Lancaster's main tourist area, many good shopping malls, and excellent restaurants.

  • There just aren't enough superlatives to describe this lovely little cottage and our gracious hosts, Roman and Lucy and their beautiful family! It was the perfect getaway, so quiet, so refreshing, so renewing. Every detail was perfect. We already reserved for another year and are counting the days till we can come back.

  • What a great getaway. We celebrated our 35th anniversay aug 17-19. The moment we walked in the door we felt like we were home, the only thing different was it was just the two of us. ALONE AT LAST! The hot tub and massage table was our favorite, along with all the homemade goodies. We enjoyed the quiet evenings on the porch. We didn't even miss the tv. The love and peace of God filled the place. We took his peace home with us. Thank you for your wonderful ministry to married couples. Hope to see you next summer!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you for the kind words and God bless you as use the peace you got here and pass it on to others. We can provide a getaway but only God gives peace. God gives his peace and blessing as a couple seeks it by blessing each other with generous love as God intended. There's always more peace in a household when a husband and wife take time to truly connect with each other. That is a decision you make and an investment of time on your part, then peace is a result you take with you. God bless you as you keep the peace he gave you by deep heart sharing with each other.

  • What the perfect little place. A must for the couple on their honeymoon or looking to reconnect in their marriage. You can't go wrong with this delightful place. The owners are very welcoming. A Sunday stay needs to be included to visit their church and enjoy the many Amish passing by. We will definitely make a return. Thanks for a great week. A definite 10 out of 10 property.

  • We had an incredible week at your lovely cottage. The new bed was interesting but we did adjust. This is absolutely the most relaxed, romantic place anyone can visit! From the moment you arrive to the time you leave, Roman and Lucy have made certain that your needs were anticipated. There were games for the evenings that it rained and suggestions for places to go and see that were well worth the time! Thanks for sharing this with us!

  • We fell in love with The Little Stone Cottage the moment we arrived. The cottage is anything but "little" for the 2 of us. The cottage was so romantic...you cant help but fall in love with your partner all over again. Everything in the house is top-notch. This was a completely stress-free vacation for us where we were able to focus on what really mattered - our relationship. The Stoltzfoos thought of everything in the cottage. There were robes, massage oils, a laundry basket, plenty of towels, hairdryer, and enough candles to illuminate the entire house. The best part was meeting the Stoltzfoos'. They are such kind, generous people. We are already looking ahead to see when we can stop by again for a long-weekend. Thank you, Roman & Lucy, for creating this wonderful place. Your thoughtfulness and love shows in every inch of the house.

  • This was a surprise 10th anniversary trip for my husband. From the moment we arrived it was instant relaxation. Every corner we turned brought a new surprise. The beautiful grounds, the immaculate way the home is kept, the wonderful homemade goodies and all of the attention to every little detail made us feel as if we were guests at an exclusive five star resort. But, it is even better than a resort because it was our own private get away and all of the little extras were ours alone to enjoy. We had plans to eat out and do a little exploring of the local area but found we were so content and relaxed there that we never left. We also enjoyed hiking around the wooded trails. The Little Stone Cottage is truly the best place to relax and reconnect with nature and the one you love away from the hustle and bustle of the "real" world. Roman, Lucy, Charlene and family, we wish you continued success with your ministry and the organic getaway you have all poured so much love and detail into. We will be back. God Bless, Paulette and Josh Holland

  • We fell in love with the Little Stone Cottage! It is a wonderful place to spend time together as a couple. And it was the perfect place to celebrate our 25th anniversary. (Thank you Husband!) Walking through the door for the first time was like stepping into a welcome hug from God, and He didn't let go! Never have we stayed somewhere so beautiful and clean, so intimate and restful! Never have we felt more loved and cared for. We were surrounded with peace and beauty and blessing at every turn. Everything was amazing and beyond our expectation. We had so much fun! We ate well, laughed often and loved much! The fresh milk, eggs, yogurt, granola and home-made bread were an added bonus! It was difficult to leave, but we have great memories to keep us until our next visit. To the Stoltzfoos family, we bless you and thank you for your warm hospitality, excellent service, tender care, and for this wonderful ministry! May the light in the Little Stone Cottage continue to shine for many years to come!

  • Our stay at the Little Stone Cottage was so incredible! We spent a long romantic weekend here celebrating our love and the first year of marriage! The wonderful memories we made here together will be treasured for a lifetime. It was the perfect get-away for us as a couple with cozy decor, romantic music, hot tub, massage table, fireplace, stocked fridge, pool table, and many other special extras! Throughout the weekend we were reminded of how incredible marriage is and the priceless treasure that it is for us! We highly recommend this cottage to any couple wishing to celebrate their love and commitment to each other in a truly special way!

  • Thank you so much for the lovely relaxing weekend. You have done a wonderful job developing a haven of rest, romance and peace. Charlene, the yogurt, bread and all the snacks were delicious! We enjoyed attending your church, and hope to be back soon. Thank you again, God bless you.

  • What a marvelous place to relax away from the daily life. No children, no worries, etc. This place was so warm, inviting and welcoming. It really felt like home. The decor is beautiful, I may use some of the ideas myself. My husband and I felt like kids again playing board games and shooting pool. The hot tub was a fantastic treat too. We enjoyed the tremendous literature available to read, it was very useful. We will certainly be back.
