About this property

Historic Building, Quiet Location in Beautiful Lancaster County, Stella Side

The 200-year old building was originally a barn. It served the home that is now The Artist's Inn and Gallery (a romantic bed and breakfast in Terre HIll). Through the years it has stored a small airplane, locally made cigars, and was the town's favorite spot for kids to play up until the late 1980s. Then it was converted into two units.
We have named it the Sisters House and this side is named after my Aunt Stella. There are two spacious bedrooms (king and a queen) upstairs, with a hall bathroom. The king bedroom also has a TV. The bath has a shower and tub.
Downstairs is knee and hip friendly - there are no steps! The fully stocked kitchen can seat six. There's a spacious living room, bathroom with shower, and queen size bedroom. You are also welcome to use the washer and dryer. The living room has a TV with ROKU and Netflix. The sofabed folds out to accommodate two people with plenty of sheets, pillows and blankets.
The best room in the house is the sunroom - you'll be able to see amazing sunrises and the views of the Weaverland Valley farms, some of the richest farmland in Lancaster County.
Downstairs is a covered porch with plenty of furniture, a grill and hammock. Feel free to also enjoy the fire pit that you'll share with the inn guests.
The Sisters House is on a dead-end street, ensuring quiet and safety. You'll be able to hear the Amish and Mennonite buggies as they pass by to go to the midwife's business just around the corner. It's just a short walk to Terre Hill park where there are tennis courts, a sand volleyball court, softball diamond and great playground. In the summer months, you can grab lunch at the pavilion - the proceeds help with park maintenance.
No need to bring anything - we provide all linens, towels, hair dryers, and stock the kitchen with plenty of food for at least two breakfasts.

Thank you Anna - we're so glad that you enjoyed your visit. We just opened the Stella side - it was fun to decorate, especially with the chicken painted chairs! Wondering if you made it down to the park - just a short walk. The kids would have loved our playground. And we have lots of events year round. We hope you can stay with us again.

Great place for a short getaway

We had a great time here. For me a place needs to be clean to feel comfortable, and we felt comfortable here. So comfortable we spent most of our time at the house! Jan was very accommodating and the breakfast supplies and baked goods were delicious and a thoughtful touch. We have a 4 yr old and a 1 yr old and it was a great place for them as well.

Wonderful restful time.

We both enjoyed our stay in Stella. We arrived on a Wed. and unfortunately, I was in Urgent Care on Thurs with bronchitis. The Stella was the perfect location for me to rest during the day while hubby antiqued the area. A wonderful grocery with a delicious deli is not far and we used it for several meals.

My husband and I came to the area to visit family. We felt so welcomed in this home. Upon our arrival we found bake goods on the table, and all the ingredients (egg, bread, sausage, milk, OJ, cereal) to make breakfast in the morning. Also, there was a cookie jar full of homemade cookies that we really enjoyed. The home was very comfortable and clean. The king bed was super comfortable with nice silky sheets.

Perfect getaway

We loved our short stay on the Stella side of the Sisters House this weekend! The check in and out process was seamless, the property is clean and super well-stocked, spacious, and inviting. The neighborhood is so quiet we heard the clip clop of horse hooves as we woke up this morning. Loved the brownies and TONS of cookies in the cookie jar (all of which I couldn’t have even eaten, there were so many!) as well as the generous breakfast items including a delicious peach bread, eggs, cheese, and apple sausage. Keurig and washer dryer were such nice conveniences. Very quiet and relaxing stay! Thank you!

Wonderful getaway

We had an amazing getaway at the Stella House. The property is just as listed. Clean and no surprises! We cooked our meals in the fully stocked kitchen and enjoyed eating on the porch while taking in the beautiful surroundings. Breakfast was great and certainly enough for 2 days. We spent some time at the fire pit (must have smore's even if evenings are chilly) and investigated the ecclectic grounds. All activities that we wanted to do were within a 30-35 minute scenic drive. So many cute details. I loved the fact that the name of the pattern of dishes was "Stella". Thanks for a great getaway. Look forward to a return visit with family.

6 of us had a fun weekend! We used all three bedrooms and the pullout couch. The hostess provided streaming with Amazon Prime and Roku. The family had nice nights in the 4 season room for games and carving pumpkins. Friday night family enjoyed their outdoors by roasting marshmallows and making s'mores. The lighting and design is picturesque! My son relaxed in the hammock every chance he had during the weekend. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and tools. The hostess has open communication, and you won't be disappointed!!!

About the host

Hosted by Jan Garrabrandt

Host profile image
My husband, Bruce, and I own The Artist's Inn and Gallery, a small bed and breakfast that we opened in 1997. It is located right next door to the Sisters House. I love gardening and cooking. Bruce is a self-employed artist, specializing in colored pencil whimsical drawings and books.

Why they chose this property

When we learned that the Sisters House was part of our original property, we longed to own it. When it finally became available in 2005, we jumped at the chance but didn't want to push out the long-term renters. When they left in 2016, we knew that the time had come to decorate (ooooo, so much fun!) and share it with others. We love Lancaster County and enjoy sharing our special area with guests.

What makes this property unique

Oh, if these walls could talk - they'd tell you about the scores of kids that used to gather in the barn to play for decades. Of course, it was also a place of countless cigars for a local cigar manufacturer, the owner of our B&B! You'll love the views out the back and the pace of the buggies clip-clopping by will relax you. We've surrounded the building with flowers, added a sunroom and shaded patio, grills and a fire pit.
