  We had a wonderful time at the cottage, and wish we could have stayed longer. The “old” feel of the home was great, and the amenities were perfect. We so enjoyed having a glass of wine in from of the fireplace. The home made cookies and brownies were delicious, and a very nice touch. It was awesome to see several horse and buggies pass right in from of the cottage on Main Street. Our getaway was a relaxing pleasure. Thanks Jan and Bruce!

  Owner response: Thanks so much for posting a review. We're so glad you enjoyed the Olde Stone Cottage. The raspberry chocolate chip cookies are a specialty of our bed and breakfast, The Artist's Inn, just five houses away. We know what you mean about the buggies - even after 17 years of living here, we still enjoy the clip-clops!

  The Best Christmas Ever!!! We had an amazing time in Terre Hill,P.A. The best getaway for a family to have.I fell in love with the place and surroundings.People are very friendly to new comers.It was a wonderful sight to see the Amish on thier horse buggy traveling up and down East Main Street were the cottage is located. That was and awsome sight. Wow, the pastries were delicious from Sunnyside Pastries -Also the pretzels are really good. Jan and Bruce- Thank you for having us and making is feel welcome.The cookies were delicious- Thank you so much.

  Recommended for: Families with teenagers.

  Owner response: Fred - Thanks so much for posting a review. We were glad your family enjoyed the cottage and especially glad that you were able to experience a snowfall - and on Christmas Eve! We think it was just magical! You are right - pretzels are terrific here. In fact, 75% of Americas pretzels are made within 100 miles of Lancaster County. And Sunnyside, an Amish bakery not a mile from the cottage, has wonderful pastries. In fact, we're pretty much surrounded by good food!

  We stayed here during the first week of August as a getaway from it all. Wow did we succeed. We enjoyed every aspect of the town, the shops, and suprising amount of things to do in in the Lancaster area. The home was the star though. We experienced a real "home" feeling while staying at the cottage. Everything felt right for us. Cookies were a fleeting delicious treat thanks to my kids. The owners were fantastic with their advice and hospitality. The neighborhood was warm and welcoming. We will be coming back here again. You know it was great when the kids want to go back 3 months after staying there. The home was precious.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with young children, sightseeing.

  We loved our stay at the Olde Stone Cottage! It was completely charming and cozy, and Jan and Bruce made us feel very welcome. They are both so accomplished and interesting, and they were great resources for exploring Lancaster County. We felt completely at home in the cottage, loved the comfy bed, and really wished we could have stayed forever and not gone home to normal life and work! We hope to come back again sometime soon, as there's so much more to explore in the area. Laurie and Scott Keller

  Dear Jan and Bruce - I am leaving here so frustrated and disappointed. For the last two hours I have been trying and trying to fold up this cottage and fit it in my suitcase, to no avail. (It was the darn Jacuzzi that gave me so much trouble!) Sigh!! So I unfolded the house, smoothed out the wrinkles and put it back where you had it, so one day, I could return. With a larger suitcase. Or a steamer trunk. Now I'll go back upstairs and pack more clothes, but fit in some very wonderful memories in all the spaces. And maybe a yummy cookie or two! Thanks for a wonderful time and Bruce for sharing your delightfully skewed view of the world - Marti Hegquist After Marti unfolded the house, I tried to tie it to the back of my SUV and tow it home but the darn thing must be glued to the foundation with 200 year-old wallpaper paste because I couldn't budge it. I suppose I have no choice but to leave it here for others to enjoy. Thanks for providing such a great place to visit! - Caren Schwartz

  My husband, my parents, and myself just spent a 3-night, 4-day weekend at “The Cottage” which is owned and rented by Jan and Bruce of “The Artist’s Inn and Gallery” in Terre Hill, Pa. It was wonderful to arrive at “The Cottage” and find home baked cookies and scones supplied by Jan; also, milk, eggs, juice, and other surprises in the frig. This is just a beautiful and relaxing place to be. At first, the four of us wondered if we would be bored at the end of four days, Thursday through Sunday. To the contrary, on the day of our departure, we all agreed we could have used another day or two. I took morning walks with my father and wandered the gardens of the cottage and also the Artist’s Inn (which I highly suggest – notice the amazing and odd flowers on the left as you proceed down the walk. They are appropriately named “Love in a Mist”). We grilled, cooked, shopped, played games, enjoyed the magnificent scenery, and had long talks while relaxing on the porch.Actual statements made by my family members as they describe the weekend include:“The place was so tranquil, and so relaxing.” – my father, who finds it extremely difficult to relax. He is 82 years old, still works full time, and brought office work with him, which he never touched!“I noticed that when I was driving somewhere on Monday, my right hand was lying palm open and very relaxed on my lap. My hands are usually clenched around the steering wheel.” – my mother“This was the best vacation I’ve ever had!” – my husband, who is a teacher of middle school students and very much needed some down timeMy statement is “When are we going again?”Thanks Jan and Bruce!

  Wanting to get away from the Jersey shore again, my wife Janet and I visit the Lancaster area normally twice a year. Through Jans newletters and after our seven stays at the Artists Inn, we have seen the cottage go through the transformation that Jan and Bruce have put so much into. This visit, we were arriving with two other couples. We decided to book the Stone Cottage for this two night stay. Needless to say, our stay at the cottage was just perfect. The warm & cozy feeling you get when you arrive can't be put into words. Jan does such a great job to make you feel comfortable for your stay (the homemade cookies & scones really help too, lol). We will be returning to the Cottage in the future and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in the Lancaster area.
