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.

Why the Owner Chose Lancaster
We enjoyed over the years getting away as couple and when we acquired this property with a small run down little house onit we thought of
Owner's Map of Lancaster
Roman and Lucy Stoltzfoos are operating Spring Wood farm which is 3rd generation Mennonite family farm where roman was born and raised. They were married on a bright sunny day in July 1978, near Iowa city, Iowa where most of Lucy's family still lives. After more than three years on a church mission near Charlottesville Va we were needed on the Home farm in Lancaster County Pa. So after working for dad one year we took over the dairy and were kept busy since raising our family in the Garden Spot. Eleven children and two grandchildren later we are still kept busy on this 220 acre organic dairy and turkey farm. Son Joshua also does 700 layer that are free range grass fed happy hens. We enjoy sharing our slice of the country with cottage guests. Healthy food is one of the missions of Spring Wood Organic Farm.
