Beautiful Home w/ Private Yard! Walkable to Markets, Coffee Shops & More!
Relax in this beautiful, newly renovated home that's walkable to many fun activities! This 3 bedroom / 2 bathroom home is well stocked for your next visit to Lancaster. It was intentionally designed for comfort while not sacrificing a modern, clean aesthetic! Fun fact: the log cabin that's a few home's down on the same block is the city's oldest home that was built in the 1700's.
Enjoy a cup of coffee outside on the patio in the private, fenced in yard. The backyard is an oasis to enjoy the beautiful weather and hear the "buzz" of the city. Bring one (or two!) complimentary games outside to play with friends and family.
Cook a meal in the brand new full size kitchen. Brand new kitchen appliances are available for guests to enjoy including a refrigerator/freezer, stove, oven, microwave and dishwasher. The kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, plates, dishes, flatware, cups, wine glasses, wine opener, etc. There is seating for six at the large kitchen island.
Love coffee? We provide guests with two coffee makers including a drip coffee maker and a Keurig-style coffee maker. Complimentary coffee pods, creamer pods, tea and coffee filters are provided.
After a long day, enjoy a shower in the bathrooms with contemporary marble tile and fixtures. Both bathrooms are equipped with hairdryers, towels and washcloths, complimentary shampoo, conditioner and body wash. An iron/ironing board and collapsible travel crib are also available for guests to use.
Guests have full control of the smart thermostat to enjoy heat/AC to their preferred taste, and complimentary laundry soap is available so that you don't have to take home dirty laundry =)
The living room is equipped with comfy lounge furniture and contemporary decor. A smart TV is available for guests in addition to a collection of games including Scattergories, and more. Take a game out to the backyard patio and play with your friends after a long day exploring Lancaster. It's one of our favorite things to do!
There are three bedrooms/sleeping areas in this home: 1) King bedroom (sleeps two) 2) Queen bedroom (sleeps two) 3) Kid's room with a Twin trundle bedroom w/ twin beneath it (sleeps two) 4) A living room sectional sofa (sleeps two) *** Please note: the living room sofa isn't a futon or pull-out sofa bed (just a heads up!) and is best suited for kids who don't mind sleeping directly on the top of the sofa cushions. We provide pillows, quilts, and sheet sets for all beds including the living room sofa sleepers.
This home is a city home and due to the nature of the location, guests may hear city noises from time to time. We include a sound machine in each bedroom if you are a light sleeper. Free street parking is available outside of the home and there isn't a dedicated driveway for your car. Street parking is first come, first serve which is typical for this area.

This Lancaster stay suited our needs for a local volleyball tournament at the Convention Center (a 6-minute walk). The unit was clean. Street parking was an issue (which the owner mentioned in advance). It seemed to be in a "rougher" part of town which was alarming upon arrival, but all went well.

Excellent host and one of the cleanest vrbo’s we’ve rented - excellent job there! The house was exactly as described and had everything done as detailed. That’s an huge bonus for mom dad with four kids ages 7-15!! Outside on street and neighborhood was not as clean with trash on the sidewalks and in the street. This isn’t the owners fault (owner is elevating the street- lifting it up with some others) but something to think about if you are accustomed to rentals where you let your kids go outside to walk neighborhood or to play. We wanted to stay in the city on this trip and admittedly not something we are used to. Didn’t walk anywhere but that was mainly due to distance to the events we had planned. At this unit the back yard was nice and secure safe for all children. As mentioned by others parking is a challenge but it’s like that for everyone and even with all our coming and going we never had to park more than half block away even with a very large 8 passenger suv. So don’t fear the parallel parking as a challenge but I wouldn’t leave keys in the switch or the windows down.

We loved the home, but the parking ( while advised it was on street) it was virtually non existent. We ended up parking several blocks away and the neighborhood was Sketchy. Upon check in 3 parole officers were two houses up. We ultimately used Uber rather than risk loosing our parking spot. When in the house it was just what we needed. The downstairs bathroom shower door needs a handle on the inside so you can close the door(FYI). One other minor recommendation, need to replace the skillet, small worn out, the only one in the kitchen. I mention this not as a complaint, rather an FYI. Thank you

Beautiful, comfortable stay
The home is nicely appointed and very clean. Beds and sofa are comfortable, and the kitchen is well-equipped. Noise machines help cancel out street noise. Although there is only street parking, we were always able to park within two blocks of the house, and the neighbors are cordial. The owner was extremely responsive to our questions and a great help!

Girls' Get-away.
We were very disappointed in the location, which we were not told until 2 weeks before our arrival. We NEVER received an outside picture, so we had no idea what to look for. There was next to no parking, so unloading was difficult. The neighborhood was a bit frightening! We felt quite unsafe! We feel a great deal of information was left unsaid. We will not use Vrbo again as we cannot trust it. PS. We were four older women, two with physical disabilities, traveling together. Please feel free to contact me for further information. We made a list of inside the home issues that should be addressed.

Lancaster PA weekend
Parking was a major issue we parked in a garage and walked 10 minutes back to rental. Neighborhood didn’t seem safe. Rental was further out about 10 minutes to Penn Station. Walking on Queen st seemed safest route. AC didn’t cool evenly upstairs was very hot in order to cool it down so it was comfortable to sleep the downstairs was freezing. No screens on second floor windows.

Chintzy in a Sketchy Neigborhood
Everything in this house is cheap and flimsy. The heat only allows 72 degrees, even at night when it's 50s outside. There is a gross pungent odor when you walk in that doesn’t dissipate.There was body hair in the downstairs bathroom. The living rug is very dirty. One of the corners covers a floor grate that has collapsed in, so it's a constant tripping hazard. The neighborhood is scruffy and sketchy. My son and I were followed at 11pm by someone whistling trying to get our attention. We hurried up the steps and deadbolted the door and someone banged on the outside of the house. Neighbors have parties with pounding music – goes on until well after midnight.Have photos and videos of all of the above if anyone wants extra info.
