This is such a beautiful house! The pictures don't do it justice. Very roomy with beautiful outdoor areas! We met the owner shortly after arriving and he told us some of the history of the house. All the furniture and beds were very comfortable. Overall, we had a wonderful stay! We will definitely be coming back for future stays!

We used this property to basically just sleep for our daughter's wedding that was in Lancaster. The house is massive in size and was very clean, with lots of character. I believe the house is on the State Historical registry and I can only imagine the entertaining times that a family living here would have had back in the day. The house is within walking distance to downtown businesses. The host was very good with communication, checking in with me to make sure that we did not have any questions or concerns upon our arrival.

Our group of five women enjoyed this lovely house and our stay in Lancaster. The house was large, with beautiful furniture and comfy beds. The owners were quick to answer any questions we had, and the whole town was filled with friendly people. We rode our scooters (mopeds) on a few different back country routes in the area. We would definitely stay here again.

Nine old friends got together in this wonderful house. Can't say enough great things about it. The photos don't do it justice. Large, beautifully decorated rooms. Very comfortable beds. Big fluffy towels. Plenty of space to sit in groups and talk. While the rooms are decorated in period furniture, the kitchen is totally modern. We prepared all but one of our meals there. Owners very friendly. We loved it.
