Summary: My adult children and Husband stayed here for a celebration of my 50th birthday and a wedding in the area. We had fun seeing all the antiques the house holds as well as all the beautiful furniture and nice rooms. The bathrooms are spacious but require a close nit group as the master bathroom is a walkthrough with two doors. The TV room and kitchen are comfy. The beds are too! The living and dining rooms are elegant and the grounds pretty! Our host was great and his scones are really good! Excellent recommendations including using Railroad House Inn for my birthday dinner for our 15 guests! Highly recommend- if you don’t mind steps- bathrooms on second floor.

Summary: We travel to this area every fall to get together with family in the area. This house was wonderful. If you are interested in history, you would be especially excited. The kitchen is very modern and has everything you could possibly want. The rest of the house is restored historic and just beautiful. The beds are very comfortable. You have plenty of room where groups can meet, but also places where you can be alone without others bothering you. The bathrooms are modern except for one with a claw foot tub, but the rest of the room is updated too. This is just a wonderful place to stay.

Summary: This property was restored beautifully by the owner, but with all the modern conveniences one could want (air conditioning, stainless steel appliances, waterfall shower to name a few). We stayed for the proximity to a wedding, and enjoyed a relaxing vacation for the weekend. The description of the property is completely accurate, and as an added bonus, bird feeders in front of the kitchen windows provide private views of many birds each morning while you enjoy freshly ground coffee! The owner is outstanding with communication, and leaves detailed information upon check in. As other reviewers have said, so long as you don't have mobility limitations (due to both bathrooms being on the 2nd floor), this property is just amazing.

Summary: We loved this house. Amazing antiques are everywhere. Kitchen and one of the bathroom is renovated, this is perfect detail for us, but still we feel like 1800s. There is a secret passage way in kitchen to upstairs.it was exciting and backyard is wonderful. Perfect house for family pictures. Also it’s closed to Lapp valley farm and Dutch wonderland. I want to share that, first time my kids got very big toys with playing games. Picking duckies(even 3 years old can do that:), playing basketball. This machines are not cheating, it was surprising. My kids had so much fun at this trip.

Summary: I would recommend this house. It has so much character. Steve was very nice and accommodating. The house was very clean and the kitchen was updated. The only issue was the bathroom rooms set up. But it was still well worth the stay.

Summary: This house is just as listed! We had a lovely stay with 2 adults and 3 kids (ages 11,7,7). The house is an impressive mix of modern amenities and staying true to its time. I was initially worried about young kids staying with the older items but they loved it and felt like they were staying in a mansion. We visited many sights in Hershey and Lancaster. Short drive to both. Thanks for a memorable stay!
