Surrounded by quiet fields and woods

Relax on our spacious porch with views of Sherman's Creek and Pisgah Ridge. Watch the hummingbirds during the warmer months and the wild turkeys in spring and fall. Keep an eye out for the bald eagles who are almost always overhead. Listen for the red-tailed hawks. Wander in our woods or on beautiful local trails. White-tailed deer visit early and late. Or drive to Hershey Park, nationally recognized Carlisle Car Shows, Harrisburg or Gettysburg attractions.

A charming escape

Lynne has an incredible attention to detail that made the entire stay that much more beautiful and memorable. We loved the fire pit and porch swing. Whether we were listening to the rain on the roof or looking up at the stars, that porch was perfect. We loved this stay!

Refreshingly peaceful, beautiful, and serene!

My wife and I stayed for a couple of days and it was exactly the peace and relaxation that we needed. Spacious, clean, and lovely place located in a beautiful pasture not too far from a creek. Morning walks down the road were so enjoyable and we checked out some local parks, towns, and wineries that were just a short drive away. Very highly recommend for the nature lover/solitude seeker!

Great stay for R&R

Lovely, quiet, and private stay without any neighbors in sight. House is neat, eclectic and comfortable. Large front porch is a delight to relax on. We stayed put most of our stay except for a pedicure the one morning at Little Valley Hair Salon. It was perfect for the quiet R&R we were looking for. Lynne was great about checking in through email, but gave us our privacy.

Peaceful weekend

This was a quiet little house in the middle of a field. The covered porch looks out towards a mountain with a creek (can’t see the creek). We was some deer, bald eagle and some other wild life. Inside was charming. My wife spent most of the time on the porch reading. About 15 min from several great little restaurants and 30 min from Carlisle for bigger town amenities.

Quiet Weekend Getaway

Perfect spot for peaceful, quiet weekend getaway. Property was better than expected. It felt secluded and private while not being too far of a drive to find shopping/restaurants. Although, other than taking a scenic drive we opted to stay put and enjoy the quiet. Interior is well appointed with whimsical touches that are a nod to the natural surroundings throughout. The owner, Lynne, was available for questions and nearby if needed, but respected our privacy. We are hoping to return soon!

Sort of like coming home

We checked in for our second stay and it all felt so familiar, like coming home, only better, especially in the mornings. I love sitting on that big porch, coffee in hand, watching the world wake up. We spend our days tooling around the area, discovering things to do and come home to a comfy bed to recharge in.The place is so quiet and surrounded by such beauty! This year the leaf color was gorgeous and we were visited by a porcupine! Inside and out it’s full of little surprises. Love it, and love our host as well. Thanks Lynne! Perfect relaxing vacation! come home to

Beautiful

Lynne's house is exactly as described. Coming from Philly the first thing my partner and I noticed is how quiet and peaceful it is. The living area and porch of this cottage look out on a mountain ridge, and it was within easy driving distance of trails, parks, historic towns along the river, and other points of interest. Lynne was always right there if we needed, but respected our quiet time and privacy as well. Just lovely.

Breathtaking Home and Relaxing Atmosphere

From the moment we got to Lynne's home, we were completely relaxed!! The home is nestled between the mountains with nature all around. She brought the outdoors inside with her whimsical nature decor and a ton of natural light. Our favorite thing to do was relax on the front porch watching the hummingbirds sip nectar, while we sipped our adult beverages. Lynne was a pleasure to work with. We will totally be back for another visit!! Thank you Lynne for a lovely romantic getaway!

A big slice of Heaven with a topping of whipped home

Exactly as described and then some. The warmth, playful details throughout the house, and the overall inviting coziness made this getaway more than memorable, more than perfect and incredibly difficult to depart from. Lynne was communicative, thoughtful and more than helpful throughout the whole process, and she has truly created a space that is both practical and fantastical. We will definitely be returning to enjoy the quiet beauty of the property as well as to explore more of what the area has to offer.

Peaceful Serenity

Words can't describe how beautiful & peaceful this property is. The one bedroom home is lovely & spacious, with unique & beautiful touches throughout. The owner, Lynne is very friendly & communicative. We spent most of our weekend on the spacious porch, sitting on the porch swing or rocking chairs, looking at the stunning view; hearing nothing but the birds & sounds of nature. Lynne has a large hummingbird feeder hanging right near the rocking chairs & porch swing; we were mesmerized by the three hummingbirds who spent the majorty of the weekend coming to it ... so close in proximity we could hear the loud buzz of their quick moving wings. We made a campfire each night, and sat quietly on the porch listening to rain patter on the roof during the day. It was so serene & peaceful, without a neighbor to be seen. If you are looking for a place to relax & renew, this is where you want to be.

Beautiful!!

Absolutely beautiful!! Host communication was awesome. Answered questions very quick threw app and was very informative. House was furnished beautifully, extremely clean "like white glove inspection clean", huge porch, and gas fireplace. Huge porch helped because it poured down rain all our 2nd day there. We still got to be outside with help from the large covered porch. Scenery was nice. Big field surrounding house that ends with a treeline where Shermans creek is. Creek was crystal clear. As for wildlife...saw a mating pair of bald eagles, foxes, turkeys, king fishers, various bird species and deer. Can't complain at all. If you want a peaceful getaway this is the place. We didn't want to come home.

Wonderful Getaway

I had an enjoyable weekend away. Communication with the seller was excellent. Property was exactly as described. I loved all the windows so I could see the beauty of the property wherever I was in the house. Heating was excellent even though the temps got below freezing at night. This was my first VRBO experience and I was a little nervous going alone. I felt completely safe and would definitely do it again.
