The setting is lovely. The old stone house is very attractive. The site is not far, by car, to many interesting things to see and do. The house would be particularly fun for kids in the summertime since there is a swimming pool, a large screened in porch, and an outdoor fire pit. We were there in winter and our grandkids, ages 12, 10, and 7 enjoyed it in winter too. There are dogs to pet and horses to watch, a basketball hoop and a slanted driveway for skateboarding. The Amish farmland that makes up much of the area is neatly tended and adds to the setting. The owners were very generous in receiving many Christmas packages on our behalf. They put them in the farmhouse for us. We needed this help because 2 of us were flying in from out of town, and we were meeting family there to celebrate Christmas. The owners were always very responsive to our emails and texts. We found and used many facilities in Lancaster: The Central Market, the Herz car rental, Commonwealth on Queen for catering our Christmas meal, The Women's and Babies Hospital, for one of our party who had a medical emergency. The hospital provided very good and thorough service. (It is one branch of a comprehensive hospital in the area.) We also very much enjoyed a morning with a falconer which we booked through the Hershey Hotel and which took place in Hershey. We went on the "factory tour" in Hershey, which we do not recommend. We ate at the Hershey Hotel, which was good, but we enjoyed the quieter and smaller venues more, like The Speckled Hen in Strasbourg.
