Exceptionally clean and well furnished. I do wish we'd known prior that there's no TV (it's World Series time). But we made do with wifi and devices. Overall, fabulous place. Very comfy.

The home was very clean, and the beds were comfortable. The personal touches Ruthann did around the house were perfect. It was nice to have snacks, tea and coffee available for us. There also were cupcakes too. At first we were disappointed there wasn’t a TV but it also allowed us to talk more. I would stay here again.

The house and landscaping were very neat and clean. Well stocked kitchen with a variety of snacks. Bathrooms were clean and well stocked. Could have used some grab bars in the showers. Very nice deck area. Nice neighborhood, but on a very busy road with lots of truck traffic. Convenient location to Sights and Sounds Theater and Strasburg Railroad.

Fabric Shopping Getaway

RuthAnn's home was the perfect retreat at the end of a day of fabric shopping for my friend and I. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. The back deck was the perfect place to discuss our fabric purchases, look over patterns, talk about the day and make plans for the next. We hope to return to Paradise Cottage next year!

Awesome place to be ln paradise

The paradise College three bedroom very, very clean. The hospitality of Ruth was awesome. The location beside the road was a little iffy. Traffic was heavy. The location was excellent to any area you wanted to go to. I would not hesitate to recommend us to anybody in the United States? Thank you very much. Hopefully we will see you again

Heart of Amish Country

A wonderful and comfortable home. The picture window gave us views of the beautiful horse and buggies passing by. The location was perfect for our visit to Sight & Sound Theatre as well as to to wolf sanctuary and trip into the town of Lititz and dinner on the train. So much to do and enjoy.
