My mom, teenage daughter, and I stayed here for a little girls trip. It was great! Location was perfect (could walk to KKV and some other cute shops), was clean and absolutely beautiful, and the porch and yard were so relaxing in the evening. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful property

The house is so nice and although the pictures are accurate, they do not do the place justice. Everything was super clean and organized and just so pretty. The hot tub was super fun to use and located on the side of the house so there’s a lot of privacy. The area is really nice and although certain things are a bit of a drive the scenery can make a 40 min drive feel like a 10 min drive. Super easy to get in contact with the owners too! I’d highly recommend staying here!!

Wonderful Stay!

My family and I had a perfect weekend in the Amish Guest House Cottage (Dawdi House). The cottage was extremely clean and the owners added special touches, such as homemade bread and jam. It fit our needs perfectly. It was beautifully decorated in Amish/family accessories but also had modern amenities such as a TV and WiFi. We also liked to sit outside on the swings/rocking chairs to watch the horses and buggies go by. The location is perfect as well, as it so close to Kitchen Kettle Village. We highly recommend this cottage to anyone staying in the area!

Great weekend getaway

We had a great stay! The cottage was the perfect spot for a weekend getaway that was dog friendly. It was clean and the hot tub and firepit were great amenities. Only thing was that the backyard was not completely fenced for the dog, but she still loved it. We would definitely stay here again.

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.
