Columbia House | Restored Distillery, Sunroom + Sauna

3 Bedroom House in Columbia

Welcome to the Historic Distillery House - a refined retreat with deep Lancaster County roots. Once a working whiskey distillery, the home now blends storied architecture with magazine-worthy interiors and top-tier amenities. Every corner has been thoughtfully curated by the owners (your hosts!), who manage the property personally to ensure a one-of-a-kind guest experience. The showstopper is the dramatic two-story sunroom with stone walls, artwork, and natural light. Enjoy a chef’s kitchen, Peloton bike, and beautifully furnished living spaces. Outdoors, relax in the BRAND NEW top-of-the-line sauna (installed Fall 2025). 15 min to Lancaster, 40 min to Hershey, and easy drives from Baltimore, Philly, DC, and NYC.
Inside the Home
Kitchen & Dining – The chef’s kitchen features quartzite countertops, Moen fixtures, and a Thor gas stove. A Restoration Hardware table seats 10, with a large island and bar stools for casual bites. The kitchen is fully stocked and beautifully integrated into the home’s historic character.
Sunroom – This light-filled, two-story space is the heart of the home. A wood stove adds ambiance in winter; in warmer months, ceiling fans and energy-tinted windows keep it comfortable. A daybed and TV make it a great spot to read or relax.
Second-Floor Living Room – Cathedral ceilings, a Pottery Barn sleeper sofa, a 70” Roku TV, a game table, and a Peloton Bike+ make this a guest favorite.

Summary: If you would like to stay in an amazing property with tons of character I’d recommend this place for you. The home brims with old world charm with its thick stone walls which continue on the interior of the house. We have stayed in stone farm houses in Tuscany, Italy and this home gave us that sort of vibe but mixed with the American elements you’d expect while in Lancaster. It is about a 30-35 minute drive from the main attractions in Lancaster but I would not let that detract from your choosing this property. It’s only minutes from a full and modern supermarket and the drive to Lancaster from the house is easy. We would definitely stay there again and would not hesitate to recommend this property to our friends. As nothing is ever perfect, if I had to give one criticism, that would be the smell in the attached sunroom. There was a bit of a musty smell in there but we opened the windows esche day and allowed the beautiful cross breeze to air out that room and as the days passed the smell lessened. It did not permeate the rest of the home and it didn’t affect our ability to enjoy the property. Early on in our stay we had an issue in which the electricity went out in the upstairs of the home. We messaged the home owner and he responded quickly and fixed the problem in no time. This is a unique property with an interesting history, lovely location, and tons of charm; if we are in the area again we would enjoy staying there in the future.
