Comfortable but location is misleading...

The house is quaint and has all that you need for a short stay. The house is located near many good restaurants and attractions, and we enjoyed short trips out for meals and shopping. Our main complaint is that the pictures make the house appear to be rurally located with lots of green space around it. However, the house is located directly on a major thoroughfare, with very loud traffic, which was especially problematic when trying to sleep. While there is a large backyard, there is no outdoor seating area or way to enjoy the outdoors. The front porch is useless because it is only feet away from the noisy road. Would have been nice to have a patio or porch to enjoy the perfect weather we had!

Clean and convenient farm house

Clean and convenient to all activities we needed to do in the Lancaster area. The owner was informative on all details of use of the home. Air conditioning cooled the house quickly on the hot days we were there. It was perfect for us. We even cooked a really nice meal one evening and had everything we needed. Thank you. We recommend staying and would stay there again.

Not as shown

The picture of the house on VRBO is nothing like what the outside of the house looks like. The picture indicates it has a huge front and side yards but that is NOT true. This house is so close to the main road we all had difficulty sleeping. It is not quiet at all. The inside of the house is very nice. Beautiful woodwork but very slippery steps. One of our group slipped on the steps. Not good. I had to clean the top shelf of the fridge because someone spilled something. And didn’t clean it up. The picture of this house really needs updated because it does not look anything like what is shown onBRBO

Truly delightful

We had a wonderful time staying at this property! The house was very charming and so comfortable for my mother and I and my two nephews and we had a cozy Thanksgiving celebration with them along with their parents and grandfather. We were able to visit some of our old haunts: The Country Gift Shop in White Horse where I used to shop with my grandmother many times. We had a wonderful stay and I'd love to return someday soon! Thank you for opening your house to us to stay!

A good stay.

House was very clean and uniquely furnished. The main problems were part of our group or handicap and we had trouble entering on the front porch where there is a railing. The Front door would not open easily so one of us had to go in the back door. We had trouble getting up the steps on the back door because there is no railing to hang on to. Also it might be a plus to turn down the hot water tank. The water was extremely hot. We did enjoy our stay in Pennsylvania. It was beautiful weather basically and the flowers And gardens were beautiful.

Lovely Break from the daily grind

This house is perfect for a little family getaway - everyone got their own room, the yard was terrific for playing, the local park (half a mile away & visible across the back yard) was fantastic for adults and kids alike. The beds were super comfortable, the linens were great and convenient, the kitchen got the job done, and the variety of spaces inside made for lots of options for everyone. Convenient to good local pizza, diners, small airport, as well as chain stores and tourist attractions.

Nice house with good location

Spacious dining & living areas downstairs, cozy, attractive bedrooms upstairs. Big covered front porch had no seating or furniture on it. We wanted to sit outside at times (Covid concerns) so had to move furniture to the front porch. It was raining the entire time so porch was the only covered outdoor area. Outdoor space could use improvement. But we really liked and enjoyed the house and would stay there again. 10 minutes from downtown Lancaster and the shops, restaurants, etc... of downtown.

Perfect location in Amish country!

This home is comfortable and has everything you need for a great visit to Amish country. We looked into a lot of vacation homes before booking this one, and the location of this home is the only one right in the midst of everything you want to see. The owner, Susan, was fantastic. She was well organized, answered our questions, offered helpful suggestions about things to do in the area, and was a really nice person. The next time we visit Lancaster, we'll schedule it around Susan's home! Scott and Rebecca, Hartford, CT

Terrific time in quilting country!

My birthday twin, our friend and I stayed over our birthday and spent the entire time going to quilt and antique stores and quilting at the dining table. There was enough room for us to set up all three machines. Susan was a terrific hostess. She was communicative and made the whole process super easy. We're wondering why we haven't been going on a quilting retreat more frequently, and would certainly book here again if we did another.

Nice house but it needs work.

I currently live in Japan and I’m no stranger to AirBnB and vacation rental housing. Me and my family were traveling for a small vacation to the PA renaissance fair during this particular stay. The house was very nice, but is in need of fixing and updating in certain areas and things. The liner to the air conditioner had broken. We called the owner right away and she was very responsive. My brother luckily was able to find duck tape and taped it as much as he could so it would stay on. It had fallen off again, but we just kept doing our best to keep it taped. Unfortunately, the property manager was in Jersey and wouldn’t have been able to come out and really fix it as we were told, so we just did our best to keep it taped together. The tubing needs to be replaced. The house was also dusty and had cobwebs in many places, including the downstairs bathroom. The book left by the owner was very informative as well as the sticky notes left throughout the house. That was very helpful in understanding how the light switches worked and recommendations for meals. The one thing that really confused me though was the cleaning fee. The house had a lot of rules that I hadn’t seen before booking. If we had to basically clean up after ourselves, I would have gladly just finished all of the cleaning and kept the $150.00 cleaning fee. I think that’s a bit ridiculous to charge that kind of money for cleaning. The house is also on a main road which made finding it at night difficult as there was traffic and no street lights on the road. I was traveling with family and we all had a difficult time locating the house at night, even with the porch light left on. Manager's Response: Cristina, we're sorry to hear certain aspects of your stay fell short. The property manager was at the property a week before your stay and there were no issues with the AC at that time. The homeowner also visited the home after your stay and we can confirm the AC is in great working condition. It's standard in the vacation rental industry to ask guests to complete simple tasks prior to check-out as this greatly help streamline the cleaning process for the next guests checking in. The cleaning fee covers the deep cleaning that is done by a professional service before each stay. As evident in other reviews, past guests have only had wonderful things to say and regularly have five-star experiences at this home. We are confident future guests will have exceptional stays! Best, the Evolve Team

Beautiful Home in a Perfect Location!!

This home was perfect. I was traveling with my 87 year old mother, husband, and brother. The house is spacious with room for all of us. This was our first time traveling to Lancaster and the location of this house is perfect. Minutes drive to all the great locations. The house was equipped with everything you could think of. The beds were extremely comfortable and the quilts and many pillows made it feel like "home ". The kitchen and nook were the perfect size to store all our treasures we brought home each day. The dining room was quite large and the family room had lots of space to sit and relax. I would recommend this property for anyone who is looking to stay in a "home away from home". Minutes from the Sight and Sound theater, American Music Theater, Rockvale Outlets, the Amish Village, and so much more. Only a 45 minute ride to Hershey's Chocolate town. I will definitely return to this home again in the future.
