Sight and sound weekend

We stayed for a weekend getaway. 4 adults and 3 kiddos and we had plenty of space. The experience was absolutely Perfect and more than I had even expected. The property, animals and swing set kept the kids so busy we didn’t even end up leaving the house on our off day. The property was clean and updated while still keeping the charm of the original home. The host was quick in response and very helpful along the way when we had some questions. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to visit the area. We will be back for sure!

Beautiful cozy restored old farmhouse

We enjoyed our stay very much for a girls getaway. Not far from all the shopping and activities in Lancaster area. Cozy, peaceful place to stay. Enjoyed a fire in the fireplace. Plenty of space for 4 friends to relax. Highly recommend.

Thanksgiving Retreat

This is our 2nd time staying here! Once again we loved everything about the house. The location, cleaniness, and the hospitality of Omar and Mim. Feels like home away from home. We loved the farm animals and Zoey too!

Great hostest

My family very much enjoyed our visit to Lancaster. Miriam was a wonderful host, we enjoyed meeting both her and her family. The house was very clean with most anything you might need. Very comfortable beds with made for a good nights rest for the next days adventures. We also enjoyed meeting and feeding Ethel the Scottish Highlander cow, Sandy the pony and Jenny the donkey. Miriam was very helpful with sharing her knowledge of the area with suggestions of places to visit, eat and just places to ride and view the beautiful countryside.

Comfort and Beauty

We had a very enjoyable time in this property. We were away from the sounds of busy streets and traffic - actually heard the sounds of nature so often buried in our busy lives. It had everything we needed for our time together - and provided both comfort and beauty.

hosts with heart

Our trip to the Lancaster area wouldnt have been as great without this amazing place to stay. Our host was great and the property was beautiful. Lots of time and places to take a deep breath and relax. We went to Sight and Sound which wasnt far from the farm and also went to a concert in Baltimore one night just over an hour away. It was great to meet our new farm friends and give them treats (ask permission). If you are looking for a home base in the Lancaster area, this is it. Kids would really enjoy the location. Lots of games available and special loft areas for them to sleep.. Top notch!

Lovely spot

If you're going all the way to Amish country you might as well stay at a nice rural property like this one. It's away from the traffic and noise, has nice views, friendly animals and welcoming hosts. The house has lots of character and is well appointed.

Mini Vacation

We had an absolutely lovely and very relaxing time at this property. We rent properties like this everytime we come to Lancaster and this one was the most nostalgic. Loved the quiet area, sitting on the porch, and listening to the clippity clop of the horse and buggies going down the back country road. Location was perfect. Also enjoyed interacting with the farm animals especially Zoey the Dalmation. The home was clean and comfortable. We did get our exercise as the home does have three levels and the steps are steep. Our hosts Omar and Mim were very accomadating and easy to communicate with about any issues. We would definitely stay here again.

So relaxing!!!

Quaintness meets modern. The farmhouse has all the charm of the 1800’s but the modern touches of the 21st century. Neither is over done. It was impeccably clean. Everything worked well. We only met Omar but everything else was self-explanatory. Their Dalmatian dog was amazing. So friendly. We felt our blood pressure drop as soon as we arrived. Well done!!!

Beautiful property and kind people

Mim and Omar were excellent hosts. Their property is expertly maintained and their guest house has an abundance of character. Everything was clean and well stocked. The property is rural and quiet. We took a walk around the "block" (1.94mi) and met some of their neighbors. Everyone was friendly and very accommodating. Great place to stay while visiting Sight & Sound theater.

Better than Disney World!

This was one of our most favorite family vacations to date. My son actually said “this house is better than Disney World!”. The pictures don’t do it justice. The detail of this house is incredible and it’s immaculately clean. It was the best stocked rental that we have ever stayed in. Mim was super sweet, and greeted us the day after our arrival. She gave us local suggestions for ice cream and Amish run stores which we went to and loved! This place was like a Magnolia Homes magazine, and we had visits from the farm animals, dogs, and cat daily. I’ve already sent this listing to a family member because I couldn’t recommend it enough!
