Beautiful Cottage
If you are looking a property in Lancaster, please consider this beautiful cottage! This cottage is located in a peaceful and quiet location. It is also located on a farm for you enjoy. Carol and Pete, the property owners were the best ever and made me feel right at home. I hope to have opportunity to stay in the cottage again!

Wonderful!
This was by far one of our best experiences with a vacation rental! The home was immaculate, well-equipped, and comfortable. We were welcomed with delicious scones, a bouquet of roses, and treats for our pups. In the mornings, we were greeted by the farm animals, which was definitely a highlight of our stay! We loved meeting and chatting with the extremely kind owners. If you’re looking for a cozy getaway with all the charm of country life, this is the place to go. We will be back!

Cottage was so cozy and nice. Loved setting on screen porch and relaxing. Our Hosts Carol and Pete were great to visit with and the scones they brought us were amazing.

Cozy stay in a beautiful area!
Wow, what a wonderful experience that we had staying at this property. Take a look at the pictures, it really is just as amazing as it looks. It has plenty of room to spread out, an amazing kitchen, incredible ambiance, and plenty of spots to sit and relax and watch the chickens. The hosts were very kind and helpful, and made sure we had everything that we needed. Hope to be back soon!

Peaceful
Lovely cottage in a peaceful setting. Although we didn’t spend much time there it was a nice place to retreat to after the busy days with family. The personal touches added to the charm and pleasant experience.

About the host

Hosted by Carol Heth

Host profile image
Pete & Carol have lived next door to the property 30+years. Carol grew up right up the road and the home they live in, next door to the cottage, was her Grandparents.

Why they chose this property

With growing up and living in the area for so long we know how enjoyable it is to be here. We have a private property and enjoy living here.

What makes this property unique

The historic area around us has so much to see and enjoy. Whether you enjoy nature, hiking, kayaking, boating, shopping, farmer's markets, the Amish, or relaxing you will have the opportunity for it all. So close to the Susquehanna River to be able to use it or the hiking trails around it. If you want to travel to a big city, we are centrally located to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington DC, or New York City. But, you will enjoy the city of Lancaster and Columbia for their arts and antiques.
