Wonderful Spot
A lovely setting amid the beautiful PA rolling farmlands. And loved the presence of the chickens, donkeys and the emu on the property. The cabin is clean and wonderful and just as pictured (except I don’t believe the beautiful shower is captured in the photos). It turned cold that week so we weren’t able to enjoy the outside space as much but look forward to a return stay in the summer!

Charming Cottage
Comfortable, clean, charming cottage. Everything good you have read in past reviews is true. We arrived during the time of poor air quality due to the Canada fires so had to adjust our exploration of the area to inside attractions and we found much to do. Carol and Phil were always available to support our stay and the blueberry scones are superb. Farm fresh eggs made a wonderful frittata. The cottage shows the knowledge of a great host, interior design and expert construction. Then outdoor patio is lovely from early morning to sunset. Great place.

Loved The Bird House
The cottage was anazi g! We stayed a long weekend and took our two dogs. Carol and Pete take great care of the human and furry guests. From fresh flowers on the table to warm sco es personally delivered to treats for the dogs that mi e loved. This is located in a perfe t area. 30 minutes max to everythi g we wanted to do. Antique stores in Columbia were great and somethi g to do on Sunday. We loved our morning coffee on the patio by the fireplace with the dogs abd and then eveni gs out there were just as nice. All the farm animals were a plus and m My husband was right at home. The fresh eggs were great! We definitely will stay here again when returning to Amish country. It was our first time here.

Private and Peaceful!
My husband and I enjoyed a long weekend at Carol and Pete’s cottage. The entire place is beautifully constructed and tastefully decorated. The bed was so comfortable, along with custom kitchen cabinetry, farm table, cathedral ceilings, comfortable living room and a spacious bathroom with a modern walk in shower. The outdoor living space was truly an experience with rusty window frames to highlight the beautiful scenery. Hearing the roosters and birds just added to the overall experience. We enjoyed our visit to Lancaster and a beautiful walk on the Northwest River Trail to see the Conoy White Cliffs. We suggest driving to Bainbridge, parking in lot, and walking the trail to Conoy (to and from is 3.5 miles). Carol and Pete couldn’t have been more gracious and were always reachable if we needed anything. We will definitely be returning for another peaceful getaway! Thank you, Carol and Pete!

Pictures don't do justice!
We have stayed at dozens of vrbos, usually about 4 or 5 per year. This place was completely perfect in every way! Owners are so sweet and pay attention to every single detail. Everything was amazing, the weather was not on our side as it rained the whole time. The courtyard reminds me of an Italian villa, it was beautiful, my favorite spot. Loved the animals so much! Thank you for a spectacular weekend, and we are still dreaming of those scones, by the way....

We came back for another day at this sweet little cottage. Five stars the first time and somehow even better the next. We love exploring the property and going down to the river nearby. The fenced in hard for the dogs is ideal, and we love the patio fireplace. The eggs and scones are such a treat, and Carol and Pete could not be more gracious. You can feel yourself relax as soon as you drive onto the property. We'll be back!

Perfect Getaway!
This was by far the best rental we have ever stayed at! Between the farm animals greeting you daily, the fresh baked scones and the farm fresh eggs everything was perfect! Our Morkie Charlie also enjoyed meeting some new farm friends and the small yard attached was great! This also was the cleanest place we have ever stayed at, and Carol utilized every corner of the birdhouse and designed and decorated it so cleverly. The other homes they had were just as nice, so take a look at those too! It was also conveniently located to all destinations that we wanted to explore (Lancaster, Hershey, Intercourse, etc.) We can't wait to come back! Thank you again Carol and Pete for everything!!

Can I take the Bird House home with me ?
Property is very peaceful, quiet, private, safe, comfortable and pet friendly! Also location close drive to nearby sightseeing attractions Carol and Pete attention to detail is awesome every little nook and space has been given lots of attention and hard work and it shows ...In my opinion the bird house is better than any cruise or resort that I have visited in the last 25-30 years the overall environment is so very unique ! On your arrival Homemade scones are on the table and fresh eggs are in the fridge... makes you feel at home a welcoming comforting feeling and just overall thoughtfulness ! I enjoyed just being there and choose hanging out there in the morning and evening instead of sightseeing I have very hard time sleeping but here I slept in and slept all night which is rare for me I just wished I lived a bit closer... so I could go more often ! Also good for a solo traveler like me who has wonderful friends and wonderful family .... they just don’t like going anywhere or are in a season of life that traveling isn’t possible
