Great time in Paradise

Enjoyed our time at the house. It’s very convenient to everything we wanted to see and do. One block off the main road but also close to many farms. Just a wonderful place to go. Very clean and comfortable. There was even a Christmas tree already set up to enjoy.

More than we couldve imagined.

Absolutely beautiful house, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything from dish soap to sponges, laundry pods, kurig/coffee pot. Livingroom is very comfortable, plenty of room to move around. Reading on the porch was beautiful each morning. Neighbor was very nice, and even gave suggestions of other local places we can explore! 4 very happy women. This place is an absolute gem.

Lovely home in Lancaster

This property was really lovely for a stay with my sisters celebrating a milestone birthday. The location was terrific for accessing several places we wished to go (including Sight and Sound) The house is simply adorable with beautiful decor and many, many updates. The only drawbacks for us were the very musty smell, the dampness in the house and the condition of the shower. The smell and dampness seemed to be less noticeable by the 3rd day we were there. Perhaps the property hadn’t been stayed in for a while. The claw foot tub/shower was less than ideal. The rest of the house was gorgeous, modern and perfect!

Nice stay

We enjoyed our stay, the house is very clean. Just a few things I want to point out to help other visitor's, the GPS does not take you to the house. It takes you down the road to a private property. The bathroom has the worst set up for a shower. If you’re older, it would be hard to access the shower. The water leaves black stuff in the sink, so we didn’t use it to brush our teeth with. Other than those issues, the place was nice to come back to after a busy day of shopping and sight seeing.

Perfect Getaway!

My husband and I took my parents to Sight and Sound. We stayed at Meadow Lane Cottage. It was the perfect place for us! The cottage was immaculate! The inside was spotless, the yard groomed and beautiful! The neighborhood was nice and quiet, very peaceful! It is a great place for kids and/or adults, accommodates both. The beds were very comfortable, living and dining room had plenty of room for us all to sit comfortably. The location is away from the crowds, yet close enough to drive a short distance to surrounding events, shopping, outings. The property manager was wonderful to communicate clear, timely instructions, no issues. We would definitely want to stay here again, hopefully bringing our two grandchildren next time. Wonderful, peaceful, beautiful place to stay. S.G.

Great Weekend Getaway with my family and toddler.

My husband and I, my parents, and my 3 year old stayed here for 2 nights. We would definitely stay again!! Location: This house was in a perfect location. The neighbors were quiet and friendly. Everything (Dutch Wonderland, coffee place, buffets, restaurants, Choo Choo Barn, Train Museums, Strasburg Railroad, Outlets, Mini Horse Farm) was within a 5-15 minute drive. The House: The big open yard and back pack were great. If it was warmer, we would have definitely spent time out there. The inside of the home was immaculate, beautifully decorated and cozy. The Bedrooms: The beds were cozy and warm. My husband and I like pitch black rooms, so I suggest bringing something to cover the windows if you prefer the same. The Bathrooms: They provided ample towels and wash cloths. The claw foot tub can be difficult to get in and out of, but we managed. The Host: We did have an issue of the house smelling like smoke, but we realized it was the fireplace. It had rained the day prior so I guess the dampness made the house smell of smoke. This would have bothered us, but the host called me right away and dropped off 2 air purifiers for the home. The smell cleared out right away. I WISH WE WERE STILL THERE! :)

Perfect Lancaster Stay

Our visit to Lancaster was perfect from start to finish. We typically stay in a hotel, but opted for a rental this time to have more room. This house did not disappoint. It was so convenient that we returned during the day before going out again, and it was a great place to relax…very clean.. We loved the ease of parking, and communications with the host were quick and smooth. Even the neighbors were wonderful. We saw them outside enjoying some sun with their beautiful dogs, a few times, and had nice conversations.

Super clean and cozy

Very clean and comfortable. Located near everything we wanted to see. Cozy beds. Decorated simply and beautifully. Shower was a bit difficult for my 6' boys and 81 year old father, a bit dangerous and hard to not get water on the floor. Everything else was great!

Lovely and enjoyable home

Greatly enjoyed our visit to this comfy and cozy home. Owner has tastefully decorated and provided thoughtful amenities throughout (smart tv, grill, small appliances, w/d). Beds were super cozy with perfect firmness and pillows. Beautiful backyard with lush grass. Nice, thoughtful neighbor. Only comment is for mobility impaired guests; there is a large flight of stairs to get to the bedrooms and no walk-in shower - just small, freestanding tub.

Lovely home.

Home was beautifully decorated, comfortable and stocked well. Our only "complaint" was the tub/shower. It was difficult to keep water from splashing out when showering due to the setup. Truly enjoyed the stay regardless.
