Firehouse Library Apartment

Welcome to our one-of-a-kind Library Firehouse apartment located in the heart of Elizabethtown! Our apartment is filled with unique details and historic significance to our town. What was once the town fire house, a dance studio, an art gallery and many more important pillars to the people in our community now sits as a cozy, spacious apartment for travelers & visitors to enjoy.

Experience
As you enter the library apartment you'll notice the high ceilings and spacious rooms. A cozy gas fireplace accents the spacious kitchen and dining room, rounded walls lead you down the apartment corridor and 11 foot pocket doors greet you as you are welcomed into our most-loved room, the Library Room. The Library room is full of books and cozy spaces to read, play games, do puzzles, paint, watch TV or just relax and hang out. Another favorite in this charming space is the heated bathroom floor in one of the bathrooms, the electric fireplace in the master bedroom and the natural light that comes in from the large windows.

Location
We love Elizabethtown and this location. The apartment itself spans the upstairs of our historic building and the neighbors below are a well-loved therapeutic massage & skincare studio, an upscale consignment boutique & a Furniture/Decor shop! The Building is right on Market street and within walking distance to numerous cafe's, restaurants, breweries, shops & parks. There are many hiking, walking and biking trails within 10-20mins from our location and we sit beautifully in the middle of Lancaster and Harrisburg cities if you want to take a day trip into the city. Hershey Park is only 23 minutes from our apartment. So whether you seek a quaint small town feel, the outdoor adventure, the stay cozy/stay-in experience and/or the city day trip , our location is poised perfectly to accommodate many guest's visions.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 2 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Pros.. Convenient location. Photos match/as described. Very spacious, high ceilings. Numerous pleasant surprises and cool features; rope ladder and upper bunk, Library area is wonderful! Easy check in and check out, Cons: Dated, lumpy uncomfortable mattress in primary room/ensuite. Guest had to sleep 2 nights in climb up area opposite bunk in other room for lumbar support.Summary;Internet sporadic/out most of first afternoon. To their credit, host was fast to respond, but likely unable to do anything to fix a provider (not host) issue.Please, please replace old mattress, give love/tlc to laundry space & shaky front door for future guests, as this property deserves an easy, consistent 5 stars. Overall very charming property, good for large groups, families with school age kids/teens.

This place was AWESOME! We had a great time and a great stay with 9 people ages 3 - 65. Very clean. Very beautiful. Helpful binder on the counter as well. The only challenging/confusing thing was the parking situation. You have to park in a church lot that says no parking and it really fills up during the day. At first it is very confusing to know which lot to park in and how to get to the property from the lot. The alley you need to go through is a little creepy for folks who aren't used to this type of environment.

Pick this place!!

The apartment is beautiful, my kids loved all the books and the loft bed. It is in a perfect location for walking to shops, or getting coffee or a meal. My gps led me to the back of the building which was a little confusing at first but the owner provided a map showing where the door was, so we were able to find it easily. The entrance is somewhat hidden and cannot be seen from the back of the building. This place is adorable, so much space, incredible library. It was close to Hershey park, and other attractions we were going to see. We loved it, I can’t say it enough.

Unique, Fabulous Stay

We had an amazing weekend staying at this beautifully converted firehouse! The apartment was incredibly spacious, thoughtfully designed, and full of character. The high ceilings and historic charm made it a truly unique experience, while the modern amenities ensured a comfortable stay.The location was perfect—just a short walk to great shops & restaurants. And a short drive to The Star Barn for the family wedding event we were attending. A special shoutout to our host, Carissa! She was so welcoming and helpful, making our first visit to Elizabethtown even more memorable.Highly recommend this one-of-a-kind stay!

Great stay

My family and i had a lovely stay at this unique property. There are so many little nooks and crannies to curl up with a book. Also, the communication was excellent and punctual. For example, it snowed while we were visiting and I expressed concerns re someone falling and it was promptly handled. .aabout someone

Grand and Unique

This was a very beautiful, large, unique property. It was very clean, well-cared for and well-equipped. As others have noted, it is a very old building. So you will have things like creaky floors, drafty windows, and uneven heating throughout. However, the beauty and grandness made up for all of that. The property is very large with the kitchen, dining room and 2 smaller bedrooms on one side and then a long hallway leading to the living room/library and main bedroom. The living room area/library is very impressive with plenty of room to spread out. The host was very helpful in allowing us to check-in a little early since we had a wedding rehearsal and dinner to attend our first night. We appreciated the accommodation. The owners do request that you remove your shoes when entering the property. My husband wishes he had known that before we came so he could have brought bedroom slippers. I would have liked a little timelier communication before the stay. But overall, the property was very unique and beautiful, and a very nice experience.
