The home was immaculate and near many attractions. The kitchen contained snacks and even a Keurig machine. The only drawback was that two bedrooms faced the road and the house sits on the road. Traffic was very noisy but earplugs were provided. There is no TV or radio so bring games as they were not provided. I would recommend The Blue House for family visits to the Lancaster area.

The property was very clean. It was easy to find. It is close to the road so some 2 lane highway noise. To put positive spin on that a lot of Amish buggies go by hearing the horse hoofs on pavement was nice.
