About the host
Hosted by Audrey Stinson
For our retirement we decided to move back to the family farm. Converting a bank barn on the property to our home which became a major project. This allowed the existing farmhouse on site to become a guest home. Now we can welcome family, friends and even travellers to relax in a cozy home nestled among farmland but with easy access to shopping, food establishments and quick access to travel sites.
Why they chose this property
Farmland surrounds the property which can produce corn and soybean crops. Nestled in the crop you will discover deer peeking out to make their trek across the lawn. Three nearby ponds frequent migrating geese in the late fall and spring. Take a step outside and you can easily star gaze with the interruption on modern lights.
Our home can be a hub to some adventures during your stay. Trains, bikes, civil war history, orchards, farm markets and wineries. Excursions can land you in Lancaster County Amish Country, Gettysburg Civil War History or even a sweet trip to Hershey PA.
But one of the unique features is the quick access to Interstate I83 - which takes less then 5 minutes to reach. It also provides many modern conveniences if needed during your stay - such as Walmart, fuel, and an array of fast food establishments. Second with this access you can journey to many unique towns that provide adventures to fill your days.
What makes this property unique
The age of our guest home is one of the most unique features. One can only imagine the time, energy and effort to create this stone home in the early 1800's. Think of how many generations have walked the stairs - you can see time in the treads. This cozy little home was brought to life in the past two years - adding modern amenities such as air conditioning and electric fireplace for the cool fall nights. Mixing history with modern touches allows our guest home to stand above the rest.
