This property is so relaxing and scenic. The farmhouse is luxuriously renovated but feels like stepping back in time all at once. Our family adores seeing the animals on the farm, the peace and quiet, and enjoying family time in the comfy living spaces. We will be back!

The farmhouse was clean, cozy and perfect. As soon as we had arrived Jenny, the donkey, greeted us. The decor and furnture were beautiful and soo comfortable in the house. The grounds are well kepted and the views are breathtaking. If you are an animal lover, this is the place for you. We enjoyed seeing Chloe, Jenny, Ethel, and all of the ponnies. Mim was a fabulous host checking if we needed help with anything. It was just 20 -30 minutes to drive to shopping and food areas. We are already planning to return.

Dear Mim,Thank you so much for hosting us in your beautiful home. Our stay was truly delightful — the space was warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared with every little detail in mind. We especially appreciated how welcoming, clean, and cozy everything felt the moment we arrived.The scenery around the property was breathtaking — even more beautiful than the pictures. And we loved the charm of the horses and Scottish cow in the yard, which added such a special touch to our stay.We would love to return in the future and will happily recommend your lovely place to others!Warm regards,Porgesz Family

This location is not a 10 it’s a 12! Cannot say enough good things about it! The photos are exactly how the house looks, perfect. Gorgeous farmhouse on immaculate property in a peaceful setting with amazing local scenery. Visiting the farm animals on the property and the friendly dogs alone were worth it - Zoey the dalmatian coming to visit us every day was a highlight! Hearing horse and buggies going by, cows and horses everywhere and Amish farms close by was truly amazing. I can’t imagine you could get a better Amish experience. You will see more animals and horse and buggies than cars.The property is close enough to local attractions but still away from all the noise! We took in all the local sites as well as Hershey and Philadelphia, both each an hour away. The house has all the modern amenities while still proving an old farmhouse feel. We are a family of four and had plenty of room. We have stayed in many homes through VRBO, and this was by far the best for comfort, cleanliness and charm. It has everything you need, especially in the kitchen. Omar and Mim are wonderful and very welcoming. I enjoyed talking with Omar about the farm. While they live nearby, they generally keep to themselves, unless you need them. They went above and beyond as hosts and their recommendations were very helpful. We did not want to leave. Thank you!

4th Year in a Row!

We love staying at Mim and Omar’s farmhouse - this is our 4th summer doing so. It’s perfect for our family of 6 (2 little kids, 2 parents and 2 grandparents)! Not too far from all the attractions, but much more space than a hotel and it is beautiful. Always clean, always new renovations each year, and Mim is the best. Highly recommend!!

Quiet retreat

Mother’s Day weekend retreat with my daughter, mother and mother in law. The four of us were very comfortable and had plenty of space indoor and outdoor to enjoy ourselves. The weather was perfect for sitting outside on the balcony or the below courtyard patio. Gardens and farm were a pleasant view and we enjoyed watching the young mules play as well as the donkey, pony, dogs and of course the highland cow. We spent the day shopping around the various markets and shops, spent the evenings at local eateries and enjoyed quiet nights talking and spending quality time together. Thank you for an enjoyable stay.

Sight and sound weekend

We stayed for a weekend getaway. 4 adults and 3 kiddos and we had plenty of space. The experience was absolutely Perfect and more than I had even expected. The property, animals and swing set kept the kids so busy we didn’t even end up leaving the house on our off day. The property was clean and updated while still keeping the charm of the original home. The host was quick in response and very helpful along the way when we had some questions. Would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking to visit the area. We will be back for sure!

Our trip to the Lancaster area wouldnt have been as great without this amazing place to stay. Our host was great and the property was beautiful. Lots of time and places to take a deep breath and relax. We went to Sight and Sound which wasnt far from the farm and also went to a concert in Baltimore one night just over an hour away. It was great to meet our new farm friends and give them treats (ask permission). If you are looking for a home base in the Lancaster area, this is it. Kids would really enjoy the location. Lots of games available and special loft areas for them to sleep.. Top notch!
