Welcome to our one-of-a-kind Library Firehouse apartment located in the heart of Elizabethtown! Our apartment is filled with unique details and historic significance to our town. What was once the town fire house, a dance studio, an art gallery and many more important pillars to the people in our community now sits as a cozy, spacious apartment for travelers & visitors to enjoy.
Experience As you enter the library apartment you'll notice the high ceilings and spacious rooms. A cozy gas fireplace accents the spacious kitchen and dining room, rounded walls lead you down the apartment corridor and 11 foot pocket doors greet you as you are welcomed into our most-loved room, the Library Room. The Library room is full of books and cozy spaces to read, play games, do puzzles, paint, watch TV or just relax and hang out. Another favorite in this charming space is the heated bathroom floor in one of the bathrooms, the electric fireplace in the master bedroom and the natural light that comes in from the large windows.

The property was great! It was very spacious and the library was awesome. It was perfect for the 6 of us. It was within walking distance of pizza, ice cream and local shops, which was nice at the end of the day.
Loved the coziness of the library section. Host was very responsive when asked her questions about the property. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the only enterance is down a narrow alleyway
This place was great. Very clean, well sorted and supplied.Lots of space as well.Very interesting building history and the neighborhood is also great. Multiple coffee shops, restaurants and even a great record store.
Well decorated, very clean, all amenities available. The master shower was a treat! The floors did creak when walked on, but that is to be expected in an older home. Definitely recommend staying here.
We were immensely happy with our stay. The property was located close enough to Round Top for us to enjoy a ski weekend and have a space to spread out when we came back to relax. Host was helpful and property was beautiful.
A fantastic find! It was awesome to be able to have our family together in such a nicely updated and yet historic house. Many extras and everything just as described, but even better!
Amazing place and they had all of the amenities you would need! The place was clean and a readers dream getaway. Cute living area with a library loft and lots of little reading nooks. Highly recommended!
Great property to stay with kids and friends, lots of activities provided by host. Unique space full of surprises. Thank you for letting us experience staying inside a firehouse!!
We started at this property to work a local sporting event. We did not have time for vacation, but the property was a nice, clean place to relax after a long day.

I am an entrepreneur and massage therapist, my husband is a pastor and our 4 incredible kids are full time adventurers. I love to curate experiences and meaningful spaces in our rentals and love taking on the role of host just as much as I love relaxing as a guest in someone else’s space. Our family loves to spend time together discovering new places, reading, hiking, biking and being outdoors. Can’t wait to meet you!
