Other things to note
The Amish Guest House is a separate rental that is also on this property. But no worries as there is fences and a strategic layout in place to offer both rental groups their own space. We have never had complaints about lack of privacy. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, so please be aware this is not at all ideal for a high noise level or partying.

Awesome weekend getaway

This was a nice getaway spot for my wife and I. We have stayed in quite a few vrbo’s over the years, and I have never seen one as well stocked as this one. There were plenty of towels and supplies to last through our trip, and plenty of snacks and coffee with all the extras you could imagine.
