A peaceful stay. The area was incredibly quiet being tucked away on a gravel road. Host was communicative and attentive when we needed help. There’s little to no service inside the home, which can be a good way to unplug and rest.

Our family felt very comfortable in this very nice cabin in Central Pennsylvania. We had a delightful time and enjoyed the front porch as well as the serenity. I just can’t think of anything that could’ve been better.

Wedding weekend

Stayed for a family wedding and it was centrally located between the different places we had to go. The only complaint was from the younger adults about no WiFi. The hosts were more than helpful.

Beautiful place in the country

It was a wonderful place to relax while attending a family wedding. Our only concern were the bees, wasps & hornets while sitting on front porch because one of our family is highly allergic to them. Other than those little pests it was a wonderful stay.

The Lost Dutchman is a cozy but spacious

The Lost Dutchman offers many sleeping spaces and areas to hang during the day. The kitchen is equipped for any meal you would need to prepare. We had a misty, rainy weekend and spent any free time on the covered porch. Will and Dana reached out with easy check-in instructions .

Great property for large family/friends group

Group of friends competing in the Ironman 70.3 event in Happy Valley. Rented the main house and cottage. Plenty of room and well enough equipped to cook and congregate together while still having our own space. Superb location for all outdoor activities. No WiFi, but most of us were able to get cell service.
