This beautiful home was recently remodeled and stocked with everything you need to make your stay an enjoyable one. The location is central in the heart of Lancaster County and is within walking distance of the town called Intercourse.

◼Private Backyard
◼Indoor Fireplace (seasonal)

◼Peaceful Neighborhood
◼Within walking distance to the town of Intercourse

We strive to have our home clean and welcoming for each guest - I have no doubt our home will have the perfect touch to make your stay a memorable one.

Our front porch area is the perfect place to sit to watch the sunrise while enjoying a hot cup of coffee or in the peaceful cool of the evening as the sun sets. There are retired folks all around us and you will see them walking, biking, and enjoying their daily activities. You will also see Amish riding scooters or walking to and from the grocery store. You will also see horse and buggy's quite frequently.

**DISCOUNT for 28+ nights, the longer you stay the higher the discount. We love hosting long term guests, so let us know if there's anything we can do to make that possible for you.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The basement and garage is off limits to all guests. This is where the owner keeps his personal items. The owner is a trucker, he lives in the basement, he is usually gone for long periods at a time. However he does return for several days before leaving for his next long delivery.
You will have access to the whole property except the garage and basement. (Owners Property) Feel free to use the front porch area, back patio and backyard area. The owner typically doesn't use these areas, so feel free to make yourself at home. The owner does a good job keeping to himself when he is home for a few days. He is a single, Christian man and well respected human being.

This is a wonderful place to stay probably one of the cleanest places we’ve stayed in a while. It was very accommodating, especially for my 92-year-old mother plus our two teenage grandchildren. I would highly recommend this place for your family lots of room. The host was excellent and she communicated very well with us. You will not be disappointed, and you might even hear the hoof clapping on the street of an Amish buggy going by.

From the minute we walked in the door we could tell the property was going to be exceptional. It was modern, extremely clean and had every amenity we could have asked for. What was shown in the photos was exactly what we found. We thoroughly enjoyed both the front porch where we could sit and watch horses and buggies going by and the beautiful backyard where we could watch bunnies playing in the bushes. The charming neighborhood was so peaceful. We know that if we find our way back in the area again, we will not hesitate to book this lovely home.

This was a clean, beautifully remodeled, roomy house on a quiet street within walking distance to the points of interest in town. The outdoor living spaces are well-done and private. From the front picture window we regularly saw Amish buggies going up and down the street. There was more than I anticipated being able to walk to in town, but driving among the surrounding farms there are plenty of opportunities to stop in for fresh produce or other products. We had a lovely visit.

The property and location were very nice. It was too hot to use the lovely back yard and the fire pit. There were only three teaspoons and we would have appreciated a few more bath towels. We didn’t use the dishwasher because it smelled very bad. We also left a note that one of the chairs was in bad repair and we had to be very careful with it.

Great Home

This home offered me a lovely stay. The house was immaculate and well-stocked. The bed in which I slept was very comfortable, as was the living room furniture, especially the recliner! The backyard was huge and had trees surrounding it on two sides. Perfect for kids. There is also a fire pit area off the patio. I enjoyed my stay and highly recommend this house. The only problem I incurred was that I couldn't get the ice maker to work. But, I'm not good with these kind of devices, so it definitely could've been me. This is a great house in a great location.

Great location

One thing I wish I knew was that all the bedrooms and one bathroom is on one side of the house and the other bathroom was at the other end of the house. We did have a few issues while there but the property manager was very quick to respond. I feel there are a few fixable things that, if implemented, I’d stay again. Biggest one for us was there are no blinds and only thin white curtains on the windows. The sun rose at 5 and we didn’t want to rise with it while on vacation, but alas we did. I really hope a change will be implemented there. Lovely area to stay. The yard was lush and green. Amish buggies, bikes, roller skaters, walkers, we saw them all every day going past the home. Kitchen and baths are newly renovated and very pretty.

Host profile image
Welcome to my page. I love that you're here. 4+ years ago I started a short term rental business. I don't own any of the properties I manage, most of them are owned by local Amish families. I love being a host and would love hosting you. I thrive and make it a goal to make everyone's stay with me a peaceful, refreshing and enjoyable visit.

I love traveling, exploring new places, hiking, and spending time with my family. I also enjoy spending time with friends and being an encouragement to everyone I meet.
