About the host

Hosted by Val Fellenbaum

Host profile image
Val was born and raised in Lancaster County, and lives with her amazing husband, Jeff, who is also a Lancaster County native. Together they enjoy working on their horse farm, and knowing they are lives changed by Christ. "Live, Love, and Laugh" always and often.

Val is an avid horseback riding instructor with many students who frequent the farm. Jeff and Val board horses, caring for 23 horse owners' furry four-legged friends including some of their own.

They have three wonderful dalmatians, Cooper (dad), Suds (mama), and McGraw (their son) who are a part of the family!

Jeff is a machinist and rebuilds engines for full-time work, as well as works on the farm after his full time job. :)

They are grateful to have the farm, a small piece of paradise in Lancaster County, and enjoy sharing their retreat-like property with guests.

Why they chose this property

Jeff & Val chose this neighborhood as it is peaceful and quiet, yet super close to everything and centrally located for easy access to Hershey, Lancaster, Harrisburg, York, Gettysburg, and surrounding areas.

What makes this property unique

With 23 horses in paddocks across the 1809 historic farm, where guests can walk up to the horses and pet them, have a peaceful view of them from their VRBO Accomodations and experience horseback riding (added fee), Pleasant Pines Stables offers guests a very unique experience.
