Our two week stay was extremely pleasant! Our hosts were always there when we needed them and the location and surroundings, were interesting, unique and convenient to outdoor activities and shopping. Our cottage unit was extremely clean, attractive and had everything a guest would want or need just like your own home! Our experience at the Modern Cottage was so positive. This is the nicest VRBO property we’ve ever stayed at. There aren’t enough stars for a proper rating!

Unique and exceptional experience! We enjoyed the cattle on a hill, the chickens, the donkey AND the emu!! The Mod Pod was beautifully decorated with many thoughtful luxuries. Homemade scones and fresh flowers greeted us. The outside, open air shower “for two” was a special bonus! Lancaster County is a treasure, and this is a great location to enjoy it.

Very pet friendly, dogs were as comfortable as us. Kitchen had everything thing we needed. Living room was comfortable and furniture was very nice. Bedroom was spacious. Mattress was uncomfortable lumpy and uneven. Needed replaced. Very clean. We didn't use bbq but needed cleaned. Host made a scone that was made for the week. Carol that was delicious!! Also left us a dozen eggs from their chickens. Loved the farm setting. Gated for pets Very safe.

Great experience

We wanted to get away from the city for a few days and our stay was everything we had hoped for. The house is beautiful, the scenery is great, we couldn’t have stayed at a better place. There’s a reason why this property has great reviews !

Our 3rd Stay

My husband and I had another wonderful stay on Carol's property in May. We wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else when we are in the area. From the moment of our arrival, we are welcomed by Carol and her delicious scones and fresh eggs from her chickens. We feel relaxed as soon as we open the door. The only disappointment we experienced was having to leave! We can't wait for our next visit!
