Perfect Lancaster Get-Away for 2

My wife and I enjoyed our stay while here to see Moses at Sight and Sound Theatre. Property was perfect in every way-private back yard, spacious living are, great bathroom and shower, kitchen equipped well, and comfy bedroom loft. Johanna was gracious and we were regularly visited by her friendly and loving pups. We’ll stay here again!

Carriage House

This place was quiet, easy to find, comfortable, charming, and a good place to relax. The owners were friendly, but not in your face and the three dogs and cat that would come to visit were friendly and good therapy. We will stay there again when we can return to that area. Thanks for the lovely stay.

Private yet close to attractions

Booked this for a girls weekend. The unit was convenient, clean, cute and close to what we planned to do. The visiting dogs fed our need from the pups we left at home! So nice that a Keurig and nice supply of coffee was ready for us. Awesome time. Thanks!

Great property and a great value!

A nice, private, quiet spot to stay. The property was well stocked and we cooked a number of meals there. It was very clean and comfortable. We spent time on the attached patio and enjoyed the big backyard. You can park right near the entrance and there are 4 or 5 steps to get in (also plenty of steps to get up to the loft bedroom). The patio and entrance face the big backyard, are very private, and you're not even aware of the main house in front. The rental was a good value and we would recommend staying there.

Home Visit

Came home to Lancaster county to visit family. Cabin was even more lovely than the pictures. There were some unexpected treats upon arrival and it was very cozy. The back yard was much larger than expected. The TV must have been upgraded since the pictures as well. That was a pleasant surprise.

Weekend with friend

Enjoyed my stay at your carriage house loft apartment. Nicely decorated and very clean and comfortable. I appreciated the coffee bar and the wine was very nice, too. Wish I could have stayed longer. Looking forward to booking again in the fall, this time with my boyfriend. I love visiting the Amish Country and he has never been. I highly recommend staying here and can't wait to come back. The only thing I would suggest is a curtain or shade of some sort in the bathroom window.

Great for a relaxing getaway!

I have two kids and don't get away much. When I do go somewhere, I want peace and quiet. This place was perfect. And the house was so charming! I especially loved closing the little doors on the window over the bed, so I could sleep in, and opening them in the morning to greet the day. While I didn't use the back porch much, it is a nice spot to sit and read a book. Would definitely stay here again!

Private and Quaint

The Carriage House is a lovely spot for a getaway. Either sitting outside or lounging inside it was all fun. The kitchen area was well equipped; it had most anything you would need except for the food. The bath was well stocked with towels, toilet paper, tissues, soaps, everything you need except toothbrush and toothpaste. The bed was very comfortable, firm but not hard. The location was convenient to many of the attractions in the area; 20 minutes to Ephrata PA, home of the “Green Dragon” farmer’s market; 25 minutes to the Shady Maple smorgasbord; 20 minutes to Bird-in-Hand PA; 25 minutes to Strasburg PA, home of the Pennsylvania Railroad Museum, something for everyone. The Carriage House is nice place to stay for those special occasions.

About the host

Hosted by Johanna Fisher

Host profile image
We purchased the property in 2016. We are a family of 5 along with our 3 dogs. We live in the Main house located on main street and the Carriage house sets back behind our primary residence. We, as a family, lived in the Carriage House in 2016 for over 3 months while we completed interior renovations to the main house. As soon as we found this property, we knew it was exactly what we have been looking for ...

Why they chose this property

This beautiful 2 1/2 acre property gives us exactly what we, as a family exactly what we are looking for... ease of access to travel (less than 1 minute away from Route 222) while still giving us the town-home feel of a small Lancaster County Home. The property, 1842 Farmhouse and beautiful Carriage House have all been updated. The Carriage house was formerly a guest house along with Attorney offices.

What makes this property unique

Within very comfortable driving distance to many the Lancaster County Tourist Attractions-
Sight & Sound Theatres (20 minutes)
Outlet Shopping (20 minutes)
Kitchen Kettle Village and the Shoppes at Intercourse (15 minutes)
Shady Maple Smorgasbord (20 minutes)
Strasburg Railroad (20 minutes)
PA Renaissance Fair (25 minutes)
Spooky Nook Sports Complex (20 minutes)
Downtown Lancaster City (15 minutes)
Amish Country and all of the Tourist Attractions of Lancaster County, PA are all within 30 mins from this central Lancaster county Location
