About this property

Summary:
If you're looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation with your significant other, group of friends, or by yourself our renovated chic Boho themed space is just what you're looking for. Located in a small neighborhood with little traffic, our back yard borders a peaceful section of the Conestoga River. Sit on the stunning patio overlooking the river in the morning with fresh brewed cup of coffee or enjoy it in the evening with the gas fireplace and soak in the sounds of nature around you.

The Space:
Our updated chic & stylish cottage on the water is perfect for couple getaways, family vacations, or for anyone looking to step away from the busyness of life. Our home is filled with bohemian decor giving the space a modern, calm, and welcoming vibe for our guests.

Our two bedroom home features queen size Dream Cloud mattresses in each room with luxurious bedding. Enter the family room where you will find our Samsung The Frame TV. After making coffee using our Kuerig Coffee Maker in our full kitchen you can choose to sit in our bar room, breakfast nook, or dining room which overlooks the river.

Our garden patio and backyard is truly a highlight of this house. Relax outside in the peaceful countryside listening to the birds and the soothing sound of the water flowing down the river. Keep your eyes open as you just might see a bald eagle swooping riverside.

The home is located just minutes from Downtown Lancaster City where you can visit art galleries, the eclectic restaurants, breweries, and craft cocktail bars. We are also located minutes away from Amish homes and Amish tourism attractions.

We are so excited to host you in our home and share our oasis with you!

Perfect Place

We were blessed to spend Easter in this awesome home and we are already looking forward to our next stay! The hosts were amazing…quick to respond, super accommodating, generous, and flexible. The home was just as described and even cuter than the pictures. We loved playing the board games supplied and enjoyed sitting by the fire in the evenings. We highly recommend The Boho Bungalow!!!

Beautiful Boho getaway

This place is beautiful. I love the decor so much and the entire place is well decorated and tasteful. We really enjoyed our stay. Both beds are very comfortable and it’s so nice to have an AC in each room.The host is very nice and was accommodating when we needed something. We will definitely be back when in the Lancaster area again.

Beautiful and so much space!

This was so nicely decorated and comfy. We only needed one bedroom but if you need it, this place has 2 bedrooms and so much room to hang out and different areas to eat as well as an additional half-bath since there is only 1 full bath. We didn't get to use the outside space but it is quite close to the river and sorry we missed this opportunity. Hope to come back with another couple sometime when it is warmer!

Annual Amish Get-Away

Location was perfect- close enough to everything in/around the area. Actually saw a few buggies clopping down the road! Cottage was very clean & the beds were very comfortable. Check-in was easy and Dale’s manual helpful. The backyard with view of the river and seating area was inviting- but it was too hot to spend time out back - maybe next trip!

Awesome stay

My husband and I stayed in this wonderful home while exploring everything that the area has to offer. We enjoyed the home. It was cute and comfortable and had everything we needed. We especially enjoyed the view of the river along with the birds it attracted including wood ducks, great blue herons and mergansers. As birders, that was a real treat. The house is in a great location for everything we wanted to do and I would book it again for any return trips.

Lovely Retreat

My mother-in-law and I needed a place to stay for the weekend since we had a family wedding in Lancaster. The home was perfect. It was beautifully decorated and comfortable. It had absolutely everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The setting was beautiful, but we could get to stores in a short amount of time. We were not far from the wedding venue. The owner was great at communicating and very responsive. I highly recommend this home!

Excellent Choice for Lancaster Visit

The host was wonderful, kind and responsive. Very smooth check in and check out. The host provides an excellent online manual. The property is clean and in an excellent location for a trip to Lancaster and surrounding areas. The yard was a little oasis by the river with a pergola and deck. Very spacious home with comfortable beds and plenty of space to relax and enjoy some quiet time.

Comfortable and Homey Feel

My husband, 2 grandchildren and I stayed 3 nights at this lovely home and thoroughly enjoyed it. The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean and in good working order. We were expecting 1 bath but were pleasantly surprised that there was a half bath also. I wasn't expecting steps inside the house but the 2nd bedroom is down a few steps with no hand rail which made it more difficult for some members of our party with mobility issues. The area is very quiet and the river is very calming. We did not get a chance to try the gas logs due to scheduling or weather but it looked very relaxing. The location was great for everything we did in the Lancaster area.

perfect comfortable cottage

We had no references for the Boho cottage prior to our visit but the second we walked in we knew we made the right choice. We spent some time in the seating area before we accessed the cottage and enjoyed the river and firepit with a cocktail. We had no more than a 20-25 minute drive to all places that we had on our agenda. Perfect cottage for a perfect mini vacation.Dont tell anyone because we plan to return.again. Matt and Nancy.

Cozy is an understatement!

It's hard to find the words to describe the past 3 nights/4 days spent in PA at Dale's Boho Bungalow! Every single thing about this place exceeded expectations! The check in/check out process was extremely simple and communication with Dale was just so easy! He was so kind and quick to respond to every message that I sent. Thank you for that, Dale. It meant a lot! :) The river flowing out back was beautiful and with all of the rain it was a bit higher than normal. I could honestly have stayed there forever. The house was so clean, modern, the bed was comfy and the shower was amazing! Loved how big it was! If you are looking for a place to stay, please consider this sweet little place in the heart of Amish country. We love PA so much and know that we will be back sooner than later! Dale, thank you for being such a gracious host!!
