Nice home. Was a little confusing getting to the home but we managed. Insulated well to avoid hearing the trains running. Can hear them as muffled sounds. Was surprised by the private dock. It was very picturesque. Overall we enjoyed the stay very much.

Annual Girls Trip

We have been doing a girls trip for 6 years and finding a place big enough for 10 women can be a challenge. This place checked all the boxes so we booked it and although there were some things that were not perfect the place was the right size and the response from John regarding our concerns was very helpful. Good business is done when concerns are expressed and heard and at the end of the day that’s what we remember most and I do appreciate his timely responses. We aren’t sure what happened but concerns regarding things being cleaned and some issues with a few things not working were not responded to during our weekend stay but after emailing with John after arriving back home he was prompt in responding and I believe he will address the issues with his cleaning crew and he even refunded us the cleaning fee. With all this being said we had a fabulous weekend, and we enjoyed the place and the space it provided for us.

Space is great. Dock needed to be cleaned. Junk on ground in that area. The feral cats are a nuisance. All that being said, the furnishings are fine- kitchen is well stocked- and you can’t beat the outside space. The surrounding area is run down.

Sight and Sound- Lancaster weekend

We booked this spot for a family weekend to Sight and Sound as well as the shopping in Lancaster area. The house was unique and very clean. Beds were extremely comfortable and had all the amenities as described. This house was by far the best in the neighborhood and the locals made it clear they don’t like “Strangers” coming in. Probably had 10 stray cats and two dogs from the neighbors visit constantly. Found it very annoying. It was a 30 drive from most everything we wanted to see but overall the house was great. The train tracks were between the house and the river so if we had young children we would have been a bit nervous. Local contact allowed us in a bit early and had no other contact with him and all was well.

Great House!

The lay out of the house was beautiful and John was very helpful and easy to talk to. My young adult friends stayed at the property for a weekend getaway and appreciated how spacious it was. The only thing I’d be apprehensive about is that there were many ants and other bugs all over the kitchen, dining room area, and bar upon arrival. We had to thoroughly clean and wipe down the surfaces before eating. We sprayed raid in the area but made sure not to leave any food out because the ants would have had a field day for sure. Besides that, lovely home! Would come back

Holiday weekend

We had a wonderful time at the home. The house was clean and well equipt. It had room for all 11 of us to gather and enjoy time together. The porch was awesome. It was a little difficult to find at first as the road is not labeled. Look for the gravel drive by the mailboxes

Wonderful fun home

We loved staying here and would love to come back. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and beautifully appointed, and the water view and large peaceful porch were a central focus of enjoyment for our group of 10. The kitchen is well supplied with housewares and the extra fridge in the pantry was a bonus. As far as entertainment, the hot tub, Wii Sports, and pool table gave us plenty to do when we were relaxing. Even the train coming by sporadically added some excitement and didn’t pose an interruption. We highly recommend it to anyone who wants a quiet waterfront space in proximity to the Lancaster area.

Better than expected!

Wow, just wow. What an amazing house. Four families stayed and the space was incredible. So extremely clean and well kept. The amenities were just a plus. While this next comment is not a negative, just keep in mind that, the access road is a gravel road and you must be drive close to the tracks. Just FYI! Definitely recommend this house.

Amazing stay for a friend retreat!!

Me and my friends are all in our 20s and we stayed in this house together for a weekend getaway and it was beyond lovely. The listing pictures don’t even do this house justice, the natural light from the big windows made the inside shine. We had such a peaceful stay. It was actually kind of nice that there was no activity in immediate radius of the house, because all of us are so busy with life and living far from each other, so to just sit back, drink, relax, and enjoy each other’s company in a beautiful house like this was so worth it. But the hosts left the house pristine for us coming in, and it was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need in ways of linens, towels, dishes, everything. If you’re looking for a secluded weekend to spend quality time with your people with a beautiful view in an area with hiking and outdoor activities this is the place to rent!!!

Great stay but there's a train

We loved it. So quiet and peaceful. Would drive right past the place if you didn't know it was a place to stay. Gorgeous view of the river and 3 out of the 4 rooms have an awesome view of it. Rooms were so comfy and the large sectional was great for TV (World Series was on when we were there!). Only thing I could considered a negative (small for me) is the train. We got used to it but it can be a little loud. Some of our party grew up in the city so this was nothing. All in all it definitely didn't ruin the trip for us by any means. Minimal for us. I would definitely recommend but just to keep in mind the train runs in the middle of the night. Again, I slept through most of them but wanted to put it out there.

Wonderful view of the river. Great set up at the house for entertainment right at home. We didn't want to leave. Hopefully we get a chance to visit there again. The perfect place to get your family connected again. The only complaint was the road in front of the house, which is not the owners responsibility.
