About this property

The Coram Deo Cottage

Our 1936 craftsman cottage is a beautiful quaint and cozy space for smaller families. It has a sunny full eat in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, and porcelain tile floors. Hardwood floors in the main living area, along with a full bath and laundry facilities . There are 13 steps up to the 2nd level which hosts 2 lovely bedrooms and a 1/2 bath in between. New portable a/c units are in each bedroom.
There are air filtration units that cleanse and purifies each level of the cottage - keeping the air crisp, cool and clean. ( same technology used on the space station)
To access the lower level rec area, and side bedroom, one enters through the door under the archway from the main level. There are 9 steps to the lower level exposed stone rec room. Watch your head as this property has unique arches and a more narrow entrance to the lower level. A family sitting area with a foos ball table and a side bedroom area with a queen size air mattress provides some extra space and an extra bed- just in case you need it.
The mature trees in the back yard provide privacy and shade- you will see the birds, bunnies, and squirrels. We love the back deck area- especially at sunrise.
A children’s playhouse, with a sandbox awaits the guests who have littles.
We love hosting this cottage and we hope you find your stay here restful and enjoyable.
P.s. Our cottage is within 20 mins to downtown Lancaster, 20 mins to Amish country, 30 minutes to Hershey and within 10 mins to route 222. There are farm markets, local grocery stores, and gas stations within 5-10 mins drive time. Sidewalk community, the Lititz walking/biking trail is within 1 mile. Local community park/pool is 2 blocks walking distance from the cottage.
The community pool is within 2 blocks walking distance. It has a children’s area with water slide and splash mushrooms/buckets, a larger swimming area and a lap pool at the lower level. Rates are posted on the cork board for guests.
Ask about monthly rates! We do welcome longer stays with a signed contract!

We had a wonderful stay at this old, but very-well maintained home. It is a sizable “cottage” in a nice neighborhood. It was within walking distance of a very nice community pool that we enjoyed also. It was a little farther from our destinations than I usually like but the drive through Amish-country was very pleasant. There was a musty smell in the home at first but dissipated over the duration of our visit. It was a very nice place to stay and I would recommend it to anyone!

Family trip

Originally from PA, we come back every summer for a quick visit. Amy was a great host and very responsive! We felt very welcomed with local goodies! Plenty of entertainment for the kids and a great layout for 5 of us! House was clean and comfortable! Park and community pool down the street was an extra perk we took advantage of! Definitely recommend!

We love visiting new places! We love hosting and sharing our cozy cottage with travelers and incoming guests. We love visiting Lancaster Pa, and hope that others will find their stay with us restful, fun, and memorable.

This craftsman cottage is very special to our family- . We have poured a lot of love and prayer into updating it at different seasons. It’s a reflection of our heart and love for Jesus and America.

What makes this property unique

Mature trees surround the back yard, trees we planted when we lived here. The back deck area is a sanctuary of rest during the early morning hours. You can hear birdies chirping, see bunnies hopping and squirrels scurrying up and down the trees!
