A Stay Near Lancaster
Posted Aug. 12, 2024 on HomeAwayThe hostess was kind, considerate, and gracious. The property is gorgeous and comfortable. And the pool was a big hit with the grandchildren. It was so enjoyable we are considering requesting a two week stay next summer.

Absolutely Amazing
Posted Jun. 12, 2024 on HomeAwayOur stay was wonderful. The property owners were super responsive and provided detailed information from the booking until checkout. The communications were very friendly and welcoming.
The property is just spectacular. We were blown away with how beautifully the house was maintained both inside and outside. The property was fully ready with everything anyone could possibly need. It was like staying at home but better!
The owners provided great resources and guides as well. They thought of everything. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. We absolutely recommend this property for a peaceful beautiful getaway!

Amazing Stay!!
Posted Apr. 23, 2024 on HomeAwayWe LOVED our 3 night stay at this property. We were there celebrating my husband's birthday with friends and family and I could not have asked for a better place to stay.
The home has everything you could need to cook and share a meal. I made guacamole one evening and went looking the the kitchen drawers for a lemon/lime juicer and found one! Was not expecting the property to be so well stocked, but it was definitely appreciated by everyone.
The home was clean and comfortable and tucked away in a quaint country location (watch out for those Amish buggies at night, haha!). I loved that there was enough room for all of us to sleep comfortably (4 bedrooms plus the basement had a pull out couch). We made use of the firepit and were very thankful the owners had firewood on-hand, fire starters, and even s'more sticks for the kiddos to use. I loved sipping coffee each morning while looking out front windows to see the horses be let out for the day. The kiddos LOVED the playing on the outdoor swings and checking out the creek at the back of the property.
Communication before our stay with the owners was great. We didn't need anything while we were there but I know they would have been responsive if we did.
I cannot recommend this place enough if you are looking for a gorgeous, low-key place to relax and hang out with friends and family. I can definitely see myself coming back here, especially in the summer to also enjoy the pool.

Spacious and Peaceful
Posted Apr. 7, 2024 on HomeAwayWe had an amazing stay in Wanda's farmhouse. The house was very spacious and our kids especially loved the basement area where they could play games and the beautiful backyard where they played and had an Easter egg hunt. My husband needed to do a little bit of work while we were there and found the office perfect for his needs. We couldn't get enough of waking up to the peaceful sounds of the creek nearby, the birds chirping, and watching the horses in the pasture as well as buggies go by. Our kids will never forget that! The hostess had left a welcome basket with coffee and snacks as well as a very comprehensive guidebook to the house and area. There were plenty of cooking utensils and two large tables inside for family meals. The area is very quiet, yet close to a few grocery stores and the farmhouse was a great home base from which to explore Lancaster and Hershey. We had a restful and peaceful getaway and would love to return soon!

Amazing getaway!
Posted Jul. 30, 2023 on HomeAwayMy group of 12 - from an infant to grandparents and all ages in between - had an incredible time here. Lyndsay was extremely helpful ahead of time, answering all my questions practically immediately. The house was beautiful and spacious, with a lovely kitchen and a dining room where we could all sit together. The pool was phenomenal (one small tip - the bottom is concrete, so if your kiddos have sensitive feet, consider bringing water shoes). We loved having a shaded area to sit in while the kids were playing. The sunroom got a ton of use - the kids were in there any time they weren’t in the pool, and the grownups liked it too, especially during the cooler mornings and evenings. We were already talking about another trip for next year before we left! Can’t recommend this property enough!

Thank you, Jennifer. Shallowbrook Farm is definitely the place to come when you want to skip the beach and the crowds. It is so peaceful and relaxing. We would love to have you back.

Family vacation
Posted Jun. 24, 2023 on HomeAwayThe vacation home was perfect for a large family group vacation. The spacious kitchen was one of our favorite rooms to gather and share conversations, while preparing meals.
Of course all enjoyed the pool!
When we had some rainy days, everyone seemed to find things to do; enjoying arts and crafts in the sun porch, playing games at the extra large dining table or just relaxing with family in the living room and family room.
We definitely give this vacation family farm house a 5 STAR rating.
