Sanctuary of the Swan
We had a great 3 week stay at the Sanctuary of the Swan. Kimberly and Dennis were great hosts. We Stayed in the apt. Above the Garage and we’re working nights at Limerick power station. It was quiet and peaceful during the day so we had no trouble sleeping. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others.

Visiting the Sanctuary of the Swans
Special host Kimberly & Dennis helped to create a relaxing and memorable experience during our difficult time of transition. We rented the carriage house above the garage for 4 weeks. There were many benefits- an ultra clean, comfortable living environment with many amenities and more importantly dog friendly. We were able to capture out of almost every window a view of the majestic swans which created a calming feeling during our stay. We can’t say enough about the owners attentiveness, kindness and genuine interest in the happiness of their guests. We are ever so grateful for an A+ experience. Thank you, Paulette, Michelle & Abby

Wonderful stay for couples
Everything was great. Watched a beautiful sunrise from our balcony. The view of the swans from the kitchen window was a great feature. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again if visiting Lancaster or Reading PA and the surrounding areas.

Great Stay
We had the pleasure of staying aweek at Swan Cottage and even considered changing our itinerary to stay longer. The property feels rural and is so peaceful but the location was very close to major highways that allowed us to make comfortable day trips to Philadelphia, Valley Forge, Gettysburg and Lancaster County Dutch country. Our hosts Kimberly & Dennis were extremely accomodating. We'll definitely be back on our next trip to the area.
