Dog-friendly Farmhouse w/ Peaceful Waterfall View
Suzi and Luci’s Place was absolutely beautiful. For a home that often takes pets, it was top tier clean. They were more than accommodating on check-in time since we were traveling from east end of Long Island, it was about a 4 1/2 hour drive. Beds were extremely comfortable and clean, they had the AC and some lights on for us when we got there as well which was very much appreciated. Unfortunately, we had to cut our stay very short. Paid for 2 nights but only stayed for 1. Suzi and Luci were very understanding when we messaged late at night that we had to leave due to family emergency. The view of the falls was gorgeous. Be prepared for some noise from the road at night as it backs up straight to it, but the hostesses offer ear plugs which was super nice! The shower is a bit small so beware if you are a larger person. Overall a great stay, great communication, super clean and comfortable. We can’t wait to come back and fully enjoy the home! Thank you again for a great stay :)

The Hideaway
Amazing location, super unique neighborhood. Quaint, clean and full of character!

Garden Cottage, near Landisville/Nook Sports
We really enjoyed our stay at the home. It was in a great location, very clean, and the perfect size for our family. The backyard was private and provided a nice relaxing environment. Great home.

Home with a view!
Robin’s place was perfect for a little Father’s Day weekend getaway! We love to go on walks and being so close to a Rail Trail was exactly what we needed. The pool table got a lot of use from us as well! Would stay again for a similar trip!

The Innkeepers Quarters at Witmer Estate, HOT TUB
Beautiful well-maintained, historic home. The Innkeeper's Quarters was very spacious and neat as a pin! The main bedroom is very comfortable with 2 queen beds, great for families that need to keep an eye on the kids. And it also has a private bedroom upstairs. Great amenities such as washer/dryer, hot tub, fancy bathroom upstairs, and everything you could ask for in the kitchen. Beautiful surroundings and so many things to do and see close by (<10 minutes from Sight & Sound Theatres). This home is attached to the main estate, so you will probably hear other guests from time to time if someone is staying there at the same time. Such a great place to be that you might not want to leave 😊

Entire home in Lancaster County/private yard
What a beautiful home and scenery! Everything was just as it was described and more! We felt right at home! Everything was so clean and spotless! Plenty of towels, as well as, laundry pods, etc. Katrina was so helpful and responsive! She even got us in earlier than anticipated! We will definitely stay here again if we can ever come back!

The Cottage on The Green
Home was very comfortable and clean! I have stayed in a lot of Airbnb's and by far this was the cleanest home I have ever stayed in. It was delightful. Location was quiet, in a very nice neighborhood on the golf course. Would definitely recommend this home, especially if you are traveling with a pet.

*NEW* The Cozy House on James
The Cozy House on James is a gem in downtown Lancaster. Kristin is also a responsive and accommodating host. The home is well appointed and as described. There are great restaurants that are within walking distance and we didn’t have any issues with parking on James Street. We’ll be looking to stay here on our next trip to Lancaster.

Inglewood Bungalow - hot tub, patio, & kids area
Such a cute place; accurate to the photos and description. Everything was very clean and comfortable, tastefully decorated. Peaceful location not too far from the Lancaster downtown. Hosts were communicative and helpful. I'd love to come back!

Round House with hot tub, 5 mins from Strasburg
This was a super fun and unique place! Would definitely recommend!

The Barn at Locustwood Farm
Super cute little Airbnb! The inside is adorable, beds were comfortable and the pool and ping pong table a bonus. We didn’t use the outside space but the fire pit area was tidy and adorable with a view of the horses and cows at the neighboring farm. Overall a great stay!

A luxurious glamping tent nestled in the trees.
We had an incredible impromptu weekend getaway to celebrate Kids Day, and the glamping site truly exceeded our expectations. The owners did an amazing job ensuring a smooth and personalized experience, complete with delightful unexpected luxuries. It perfectly blends the comfort of a five-star hotel with the charm of camping. The kids loved the snacks and popcorn, while we appreciated the variety of coffee available. The site was impeccably clean, tastefully decorated, and offered a super private atmosphere, all of which contributed to a wonderful time with family. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place with us! After posting our weekend getaway video on social media, I received numerous requests for the link to your glamping site. I’m more than happy to recommend it to my friends and family.

Lothlorien Tree House
Really adored this experience. Gretchen was so responsive and helpful. There is a lot included in this stay. The kitchen and fire pit includes a lot of things I didn't expect, the inside of the tree house is amazing. I wish I could have stood longer so I will have to return another year. This location will stay dead on my memory. Thank you Gretchen!

The Trolley House / Romantic getaway
This place is quaint and quiet! Perfect spot for a quiet getaway, yet close to everything (15-20minutes) we absolutely LOVED the trail following the river leading to a beautiful covered bridge! Beautiful area!

Martha's Guest Suite-3 Miles from Sight & Sound!
Martha is a wonderful hostess. She obviously wants to make her guests comfortable and meet any need they might have. She recommended we call Sight and Sound to see if there were any cancelations and I did and we got tickets the week before! The space was comfortable and clean and there were yummy snacks and drinks which we appreciated! I highly recommend staying in this peaceful neighborhood.

Cozy Cottage with back yard
The cottage is exactly as described and pictured in the listing. It was clean and had everything needed for a short stay. Great place to stay if you are in the area for Spooky Nook as we were (about a 15 min drive). Kathryn and Martha were perfect hosts and great with communication. I highly recommend staying here.

Your guide to Lancaster
Welcome to Lancaster
The city of Lancaster sits at the heart of Pennsylvania Amish country, forming a bridge between the rural lifestyle in the surrounding farmlands and the local creative communities. Curious travelers have been coming here for decades for glimpses of a world that is at once surreal and increasingly more familiar. This is a place where horse-drawn buggies ply the dirt roads and markets sell the latest in local and handmade goods. The city of Lancaster, a classic Pennsylvania Dutch community, is a jumping-off point for exploring the maze of smaller roads dotted with handicraft shops and artisan food stands. Here you’ll find modern shops selling quality, handmade products alongside locavore restaurants that use ingredients and techniques from the region in fun, fascinating ways.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Lancaster
Summer tends to be warm and muggy, while winters are chilly. But the in-between months bring pleasant weather and lots to do. Lancaster’s surrounding fields burst with color as the spring flowers poke out their pretty heads, and Easter events and celebrations can make it an ideal time to stay in one of the area’s vacation rentals. Spring is also when the annual tradition of mud sales (auctions of locally made goods) attracts savvy shoppers looking for deals on things like Amish quilts, handmade furniture, livestock, and farm equipment. The sales are usually run by the local volunteer fire companies, include plenty of homemade food, and are as much social events as they are effective fundraisers. Fall in Lancaster is harvest season, which brings the opportunity to buy local produce and the tasty pies from which they’re made. Roadside farm stands, pumpkin patches, and corn mazes dominate the landscape, while the crisp air brings out the brilliant fall colors in the foliage.

Farm and Food Tours
Roaming the backroads of Lancaster County is one of the area’s main draws: that’s where the famous farm stands sell their jams and jellies, dairies produce their cheeses, and the locals pick up their whoopie pies. Get around by bike, bus, or even scooter, and let a guide show you the way over the rivers and through covered bridges to old schoolhouses and the best butter.
Susquehanna River
Explore the region by paddling a canoe down the Susquehanna River, or hiking or biking the trails that mirror it. A series of parks, water trails, rail trails, and nature preserves surround the river as it flows through Lancaster County, giving you plenty of ways to experience rural Pennsylvania.
