This is our 2nd stay at the Bird House & we love it! It is so quaint and cozy! It’s secluded on a lovely farm property but is still close to town. Carol & Pete provide the comforts of home, including the best blueberry scones I’ve ever eaten! Our little Rico loves the little fenced in yard & the cozy courtyard! This is definitely a dog friendly space! We will definitely be back on our next trip to PA!

4th time staying here

This was our 4th time staying in the Bird House and we had another enjoyable time. We love the country location it makes us feel like home. This time we enjoyed the York Herb and Garden Festival on Friday and spent a lot of time visiting the Amish Greenhouses. We cook most of our meals to spend time with our dogs but we did order take our from Caruso's Italian Restaurant and it was great and only 5 minutes away so still very hot when we arrived back to the house. We would highly recommend it and of course staying at the Birdhouse.

Wonderful Spot

A lovely setting amid the beautiful PA rolling farmlands. And loved the presence of the chickens, donkeys and the emu on the property. The cabin is clean and wonderful and just as pictured (except I don’t believe the beautiful shower is captured in the photos). It turned cold that week so we weren’t able to enjoy the outside space as much but look forward to a return stay in the summer!

Work Retreat Play

Staying on a mini farm, surrounded by rolling pastures, chickens, two mini donkeys, and an emu named Ferrari was good for the soul. The cottage was perfect for work, and taking breaks to say hello to the donkeys made the time fly. Arriving to homemade blueberry scones and a dozen farm fresh eggs was lovely! We purchased our meals for the weekend at Central Market, and enjoyed Lancaster and Columbia as much as our short stay would allow. We hope to return, if only to see how big the frolicking calves from the farm next door get. Thank you Carol and Pete for envisioning a sweet little compound of magical and well-appointed cottages, and opening it to guests.
