We absolutely loved our stay here. It was Peaceful, serene, and relaxing. We especially loved the animals and being greeted by them every day. The host stayed in communication with us, and had provided basics we needed before arrival - down to fresh farm eggs! We enjoyed watching the horse a buggies pass by daily. You are out in the country life, but close to unique shops with goods made and sold by the Amish. We hope to be back to the area and will definitely book this place again! Thanks for sharing it with us.

We had a fabulous weekend at this beautiful farmhouse. It was spotless clean and tastefully furnished, maintaining the farmhouse feel with all the needed modern amenities. Ada was very responsive to all our needs and the complimentary cookies, eggs, milk, candy and plenty of apples to feed Jack, Pepper and the goats was a great touch. The beds were very comfortable and the location is very convenient to explore the countryside and close to shopping, restaurants and Lancaster. A perfect weekend in perfect accommodations. We would definitely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

We love the location of this place. Its on farmland, right around Amish homes, close to tourist attractions. I love going over and sitting on the porch looking at the amazing views and breathing in fresh country air.

What makes this property unique

Some of the reasons I love this property is that you can get a glimpse of what it would be like to live on a farm. This house was built in the 1800s. When we bought it we did some renovating but still allowed the house to tell its story. We have a horse, donkey, and sheep in the meadow. They love to be hand fed by our guests. we have apples for the horse and feed for the sheep.
