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!

hosts with heart

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!

Great hostest

My family very much enjoyed our visit to Lancaster. Miriam was a wonderful host, we enjoyed meeting both her and her family. The house was very clean with most anything you might need. Very comfortable beds with made for a good nights rest for the next days adventures. We also enjoyed meeting and feeding Ethel the Scottish Highlander cow, Sandy the pony and Jenny the donkey. Miriam was very helpful with sharing her knowledge of the area with suggestions of places to visit, eat and just places to ride and view the beautiful countryside.

Mini Vacation

We had an absolutely lovely and very relaxing time at this property. We rent properties like this everytime we come to Lancaster and this one was the most nostalgic. Loved the quiet area, sitting on the porch, and listening to the clippity clop of the horse and buggies going down the back country road. Location was perfect. Also enjoyed interacting with the farm animals especially Zoey the Dalmation. The home was clean and comfortable. We did get our exercise as the home does have three levels and the steps are steep. Our hosts Omar and Mim were very accomadating and easy to communicate with about any issues. We would definitely stay here again.

So relaxing!!!

Quaintness meets modern. The farmhouse has all the charm of the 1800’s but the modern touches of the 21st century. Neither is over done. It was impeccably clean. Everything worked well. We only met Omar but everything else was self-explanatory. Their Dalmatian dog was amazing. So friendly. We felt our blood pressure drop as soon as we arrived. Well done!!!

Better than Disney World!

This was one of our most favorite family vacations to date. My son actually said “this house is better than Disney World!”. The pictures don’t do it justice. The detail of this house is incredible and it’s immaculately clean. It was the best stocked rental that we have ever stayed in. Mim was super sweet, and greeted us the day after our arrival. She gave us local suggestions for ice cream and Amish run stores which we went to and loved! This place was like a Magnolia Homes magazine, and we had visits from the farm animals, dogs, and cat daily. I’ve already sent this listing to a family member because I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Enjoyable family vacation

We traveled with our 4 kids ranging from 1-8 years old for a family vacation. the property was spacious clean and beautiful. The hostess was super responsive and helpful throughout our stay. They live on the same property but do not intrude at all. The house came with everything we needed for our kids games toys a highchair pack n' play. The kids loved the swingset outside and feeding the farm animals treats. We had a bit of drama with the pets (cat and dog) who were super friendly but some of our kids being real city kids were afraid of them. All of us enjoyed the charm of staying in an original farmhouse from the 19th century the exposed beams etc. but at the same time up to date with a washer dryer central AC and all kitchen appliances we needed. It was convenient to have 3 bathrooms on all 3 floors 2 with showers and with a clawfoot soaking tub. the surrounding area is full of Amish fields which were really interesting to watch as was the Amish grocery 0.5 miles away seeing them going about their life was fascinating. All in all we had a great time and would highly recommend this property.
