The moment you walk through the door of Fontinalis you feel like you’ve stepped way back in time. Character and charm don’t do justice to this incredible landmark from centuries gone by. Fontinalis is more than just a place to stay, it is an historic treasure to experience.The decor is comprised of objects and artwork that lend to this sense that you truly are in a unique place from long ago. From the wooden sink tops in each bathroom, to the old cooking implements hanging on walls, to the most incredible coffee table that I’ve ever seen, each room holds objects that any museum of early American life would want to put on display. From well before our stay the owner kept in touch about the property as well as certain details regarding our arrival and stay. The entire process from check-in to departure is simple and straightforward which is always very helpful when traveling.The amenities are top notch especially all that is available in the kitchen right down to the goodie basket filled with treats for guests to enjoy.The surrounding quiet is sometimes interrupted by a variety of bird calls as well as the occasional horse hoofs on asphalt from passing Amish carriages. There’s room to walk and explore on the property and a very well-known trout stream is nearby.I can’t say enough about how great our stay was at Fontinalis. The 4-1/2 hour drive for me to get there was well worth the more than two centuries that I was able to roll the calendar back for that weekend.

Weekend stay

We needed a place to stay while we attended the state track meet at Shippensburg University for an awards ceremony. The property was fantastic- not too far from the university, and my daughter loved playing in the yard and learning about all of the plants in the garden. The welcome basket to make s’mores was a fantastic touch! We would definitely stay again!

Did many daytime excursions and this was a great place to come back to at the end of the day, grill out on the patio, and relax and enjoy each others company. Thank you!!

It was the most stunning surprise as we walked into this richly decorated, most beautiful home. Check in and communication with the host ensured ease of the process. We took full advantage of the fully equiped home and and kitchen and never left after our arrival as we ate meals in the garden and dinner in the dining room. The beds are so comfortable and the sheets were top quality. We enjoyed the weekend so much we are booking for next year.

A beautiful gem, especially for graduation from Dickinson!

This property is amazing! It is incredibly beautiful. The pictures make it look a little old-fashioned and dark but when you go there that is not the case. It is beautifully historic. The grounds are amazing. The summer kitchen just makes you yarn for colonial times. It was an amazing house and property to stay on for my daughter‘s graduation from Dickinson College.

Historical home away from home

We had a great time staying here at your home. We felt like we were living in a historical home and loved the touch of keeping it period and adding a few creature comforts of everyday life in the 21st century. Loved the ole black and tan as well as the wide wooden flooring and beam ceilings. This will be our first choice for staying here again when we visit in the future.

This is the first VRBO that i would be overjoyed if the opportunity arose to revisit the area and this home was available. I walked in the door and instantly loved the look and feel of this old house. The amenities provided were excellent. When it wasn't raining, we enjoyed the beautiful backyard area.backyard area.

Wonderful graduation weekend

We needed a place to stay and host small gatherings of family/friends for our son's graduation from Dickinson College. Fontinalis was the perfect solution. The hosts were accommodating and very responsive. The house was historic and comfortable. And the grounds were park-like. We had a wonderful stay! Thank you.
