Nice

The property was very nice and with a small yard fenced in. Street was quiet and house was very clean.One thing it isn't good for people with disabilities. The bedrooms and main bathroom are upstairs. The stairs are steep. The couch was hard to get out of. My husband has replaced knees and hips. He had troubles getting up from couch.The owners were kind.

Great place.

Great spot. Beautiful yard, and property. The neighbor was rude and the small child across the street kept putting his hands through the fence, and bothering our dog. Since we are still training our GSD we ended up having to leave early from our stay, because of the nuisance neighbors.

Ephrata summer stay

Enjoyed a great stay at this property. Having a nice covered deck it was enjoyable too eat dinner outside every evening. The fenced in yard is a plus and gave our small dog room to be outside without a leash. The inside is very spacious and accommodated our needs and was very clean. Would definitely stay here again next time we are in the area.

A Perfect Stay in Ephrata – Home Away From Home

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this property located in Ephrata and our experience was nothing short of exceptional. The house was exactly as advertised – clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the comforts of a home. The owner’s dedication to guests’ comfort was evident in every corner of the house. Their commitment to maintaining such a high standard of hospitality made our visit to the Lancaster County even more memorable. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a hassle-free and delightful stay.

Fabulous Vacation

Thank you for sharing your place with me. We had a great time. The place is located in a great area. It was not to far from Lancaster. I found a wonderful thrift shop near by. Also the cloister is located not to far. There is an 8 mile bike trail. You do not even have to bring your bicycle. You can rent bikes for less than $10. The place itself was very clean and well kept. The yard is great. My dog enjoyed herself in the yard. Again thanks. I plan to come back again.

Perfect 3 Day Stay

We absolutely LOVED staying at this home in Ephrata. We had everything we needed and more! We brought our 2 pups and they loved the fenced in backyard space as well as the freedom to roam both inside and outside. The neighbors were FABULOUS - so friendly. We were even invited to church while just hanging on the deck in the yard. Kitchen was perfect to cook all of our meals we brought with us. Bed was SO COMFY and both my husband and son had a blast at Street Outlaws at Maple Grove Raceway (which was the event we were there for). We also got to visit The Green Dragon Flea market and we loved all the Amish people and food. Had a blast and it would not have been as perfect had it not been for this perfect home. Thank you and we look forward to booking again in the future! Jessica

Nice, clean property. Looks like it does on the pictures. Owner communication is great, too. Shopping near by. Quiet neighborhood, but the alarm at fire company went off every day, as stated. So no biggie and it lasts less then a minute. If I am in the area again next year, I would stay here for sure.

Very Clean

This home was very clean. It had all the amenities you would need for a weekend getaway. It is a two story (which I didn't realize when I booked the place with a very narrow stairway.). It had a nice deck off the back of the house, fenced in yard which was great for our dog. It is a duplex, however, we could not hear a peep from our neighbors. The bathrobes were a nice touch. I would recommend this for a quick get away. The furniture was modern so not very comfortable, however, we were not there to lounge!
