Fun and relaxing retreat

We loved staying at the Farmhaus. Our favorites were the resident cows and the ice cream across the street. We had the best accommodations for a family wedding.

This was an absolutely amazing place to stay! The house was well done with plenty of information about the history of the house as well as fun things to do around Lancaster. My son loved waking up and running to see the cows every morning. It was a very peaceful place in the evening to wind down, loved the wind chimes on the back porch.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The house was extremely clean and well furnished, kitchen was well stocked, property was gorgeous. There was ample space for 5 adults and 2 young children to sit and relax both indoors and outside. The house is situated far from the road so it was very quiet but we enjoyed seeing the buggies go by. My young grandchildren enjoyed visiting with the cows daily. We hope to return again next year to create new family memories.

Peaceful and relaxing

This was a unique vacation house…..very old and charming. There were cows in the barn that you could pet, and also see the cows and the geese while sipping a cold drink on the back porch. The lovely porch was also splendid for drinking a morning cup of coffee while waking for the day surrounded by nature. Everything was very clean and you had all the kitchen items that were needed. I highly recommend this house!One note: the stairs leading to the upstairs are very steep, but carpeted nicely and have a railing.

I wish I could wake up to this view every morning. We had a wonderful time at this property. You could not find a speck of dust if you tried. So clean, so cozy, so beautiful. Even my 4 year old did not want to leave. We will definitely be back.

Thanksgiving Mini Getaway

This property was amazing. My adult children said it was the best one yet! I would've loved to stay just one more day to enjoy the home, cows, and back porch. Our host thought of every last detail to make our stay perfect. The welcome basket was an extra special touch. Travelling in our group were young 24+ adults, a 60 year old mom, & a 78 year old Grandma. It was wonderful reconnecting & simply having time together.

Family annual trip

Our stay at The farm was amazing! This is a trip our family has been taken for 40+ years annually and this year we decided to go a different direction where we stayed and it was the best decision we made. The home was beautiful and cozy. The house had all the amenities you could think of. The kids had a wonderful time playing outside We are super excited to come back next year! The Murray’s and The Sanabria’s.

Wonderful House! Beautiful Location!

Wow! What a superb experience we had at Frogtown Farmhaus! The historic house was bright and cozy, accommodating, well-appointed, and well-provisioned. We lacked for nothing while there. There were sufficient public spaces for our party of 6 (3 adults and 3 children) to enjoy being together and private spaces for more solitary moments when desired. The hosts/owners could not have been more gracious either. They kept in touch with us throughout the rental process, dropped by to greet us personally during our stay, and even provided a welcome basket full of local goodies. The grounds and nearby dairy farm were a HUGE hit with our grandkids (ages 7-10). They loved visiting with the cows, doing cartwheels, tumbling, and running all over the pastures adjoining the house, and flying kites. Though in a rural setting, the house is within easy driving distance to restaurants, shopping, and amusements (highly recommend Dutch Wonderland for this age children). For a peaceful and fun getaway, Frogtown Farmhaus can’t be beat!
