This property worked well for our group, it was clean, comfortable and centrally located for our trip to Sight and Sound and surrounding area…there were some minor inconveniences, but overall a good choice for a group with plenty of sleeping options and bathrooms. The only real cause for caution is the road noise if you’re a light sleeper, but you can’t be close to everything and expect solitude…

We enjoyed our stay at this well kept house. It was clean and spacious. We appreciated the 2 bedrooms on the first floor since 2 of us have difficulty with stairs. It was lovely to sit on the porch and watch Amish buggy’s, carts and bikes ride by. The host arranged a meal in an Amish home for us. The host family was so friendly and their kids were adorable! It is right in the heart of Amish country with many attractions nearby. The host was very responsive to any needs or concerns. There was a lot of truck traffic past the house that was loud when sitting on the porch but was muffled in the house. We would definitely recommend this lovely home in the Amish country.

The house was clean and worked great for our group of 9. Plenty of room to spread out. The bedroom with the three twin beds was great for our family with kids. One of the beds in that room was very squeaky so put the smallest kid in that one. Once we did that, everyone slept better. Each room has blackout blinds which were awesome! Kept the rooms nice and dark in the morning. The upstairs walk in shower was awesome. So big! It is on a fairly busy road, but, we didn't notice the noise at all inside the house. It was very quiet inside. Overall, it was a nice play to stay.

We had an issue with the smoke detectors but the host was prompt in taking care of the issue. The yard was not very well kept and needed mowing and weeding. Lots of traffic noise but overall the house was a good fit for the six of us. The location is excellent. We enjoyed our stay. The host was great to sell us eggs and even scheduled us a dinner with an Amish family. I would recommend this house
