Longwood Gardens Visit

We enjoyed our stay so much! It was only a short 30 minute drive to the gardens. The house was cozy and well taken care of… we enjoyed the garden on the property and sitting out on the porch every morning watching the Amish buggies go by and bird watching.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely historic home in beautiful PA Amish country! The home has been thoughtfully restored and is furnished with many unique antiques and gorgeous artwork. It is clean, comfortable, and well stocked with so many essentials and extras that makes it truly feel like a home away from home! Maureen is an excellent host and so friendly and helpful. We especially enjoyed sitting out on the side porch and also taking a long walk down the adjacent country road with Amish farms all along the way. We were close enough to go visit some of the more touristy areas, but our favorite part of our stay was driving through the rural countryside and staying at a home that was literally nestled in a quaint Amish community. We hope to visit again!!

About the host

Hosted by Maureen Rhodes

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

My husband and I bought this property in 1990 because it was located next door to our home. This house and our home were originally built by the same family. The guest house was build in 1885 and ours was built in 1890. We have invested 30 years renovating the two properties and 95% of the work we have done ourselves. Some people golf; we renovate!
It was a residential rental home until 5 years ago. All our children are adults and do not live locally. We decided to make it into a guest house for them so when visiting they can spread out and relax with their children.
We have used VRBO type rentals for a number of years when traveling. So it was natural fit to welcome guests a few weeks a year to enjoy our rural farming location.
