Willow Lodge is a cozy three bedroom ranch style cottage located on one acre of land nestled by the edge of the woods on a working farm, Primrose Dale. While the farm itself along with activities related to running of the farm are not part of the rental, the rural and rustic ambience of Willow Lodge gives guests a taste of country living!
Books, board games, playing cards, campfires, and wildlife sightings are the main forms of entertainment at Willow Lodge. A small working fireplace in the living room, available for use October through March, provides guests with a rustic, cozy atmosphere while taking the chill out of a cool autumn evening or cold winter's night. A picnic table and charcoal grill (charcoal not provided) is available behind the house with a beautiful view of the farm and picturesque South Mountains. Next to the picnic table is a inviting fire pit where guests may relax while enjoying an evening beverage, pleasant conversation or some quiet time....an especially welcoming feature after a long day of sightseeing or other area activities! Guests must supply their own firewood for the outdoor fire pit as well as the indoor fireplace as it is not included in the rental cost nor is it available in or around the property. Local grocery stores typically have small bundles of campfire wood available for purchase.
Willow Lodge is fully furnished and has three bedrooms with four beds, two double and two single that sleeps up to the maximum occupancy of six (6) people. The cottage has two full baths with linens, dining area and country kitchen with stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, small crock pot, toaster, coffee maker, and all pots, pans, utensils and dishes needed to provide for all of your dining needs. A full size washer and dryer is also included right off the main dining area. Truly a place to "get away from it all", there is no television or WIFI available. However, access to the internet or your e-mail can be done easily with a smartphone utilizing 5G.
A great location to call your "home base" while exploring all that the area has to offer, Willow Lodge is conveniently located only 11 miles from historic Gettysburg and the National Military Park, 45 miles from the well known "Chocolate Capital of the World" Hershey, Pa including the family fun "Hershey Park", Lancaster's Amish Country 70 miles, Ski Liberty and Ski Roundtop, 23 miles and 20 miles respectively.
