Lazy 8 is a remodeled historical farmhouse in the countryside of Snyder Co., PA

Nestled in the backwoods of Amish country, the Lazy 8 is a historic farmhouse on a peaceful estate with all the accommodations of country living, located in Snyder County, Pennsylvania.

Rich in history, the Lazy 8 was constructed in the mid 1800’s and was a 3-story hunting camp including an exposed stone laid basement. It was purposefully located beside an artesian well that supplied water to the basement and is still a water source on the property today.

In 1973 the structure was remodeled as a farmhouse, renovating the core and adding wings onto both sides.

Although grand with all its rooms, the Lazy 8 is quaint with its use of space. You may find the occasional lower ceiling, narrow doorway, or steeper than usual steps. Characteristics common in traditional farmhouses.

The Lazy 8 was completely renovated from 2022 to 2023, to accommodate up to 14 people with its 6 themed bedrooms accompanied by 4 bathrooms that span the mid and upper levels of the 3-story farmhouse.

The quaint kitchen has the necessary accommodations to prepare family meals, including an electric stove, dishwasher, refrigerator, double ovens, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and fully supplied kitchen cabinets.

The dining room can accommodate your family of 10 with overflow setting for 6 in the breakfast nook.

You’ll enjoy the peace and quiet as you relax in the sunroom overlooking the horses in the pasture with the rolling countryside as a backdrop.

The lower level has an entertainment area with a bar, poker table and living room space for movie night. The adjacent game room includes foosball, ping pong, a multicade and other games.

Outdoor living spaces include a front porch, rear porch, and campfire area. We encourage you to explore the acres of property where you will find a cold cellar, wishing well and some farm animals to talk to. You can also enjoy the beauty of the barn and rolling pastures but there is not admittance to them.

Other accommodations include an entrance lobby, laundry room, office, and garage space used to store additional outdoor seating, yard games, BBQ grill, trash/recycling containers and other accommodations. A whole house, on demand backup generator, Roku TVs (including local programming), central air and Starlink internet also included.
