Lancaster getaway
House was incredible, very clean, well maintained, perfect for our large family. Any odds and ends that we thought we might need to get or bring were also in the home. The outside was gorgeous cozy with very large gated yard. House was just perfect for us all around! Just wish we could stay a little longer!

Family time
The house was very comfortable and spacious. Plenty of room for the toddler to move around. We had a rainy weekend, so were not able to enjoy the outside fireplace or patio. There was a lot I liked about the listing, but the two king beds and one queen bed made the decision for me. Again, the upstairs rooms were very spacious and comfortable. We would stay there again.

Book it, it's perfect!
We traveled to John's place with our (almost) 2 year old son and his grandparents. The first person to arrive immediately texted me and said "this house is perfect! I want to live here!" - which basically sums up the visit. It was perfect for all ages (2 to 80!) and is far better than the photos even can show. We had hardly any babyproofing to do and it was quickly safe for our son to explore. The floor plan on the first floor was great for keeping eyes on him and for keeping everyone in the group included. It was perfectly clean, easy check-in and check-out and had everything we needed. The bedrooms were a great layout for large groups and we were even able to use the closet in the master for our son's pack and play because it was so big. The backyard and basement set up lend to perfect spaces to hang out and relax. We cooked all our meals at home and the kitchen was well equipped and spacious. There are plenty of televisions, games, and books to provide a variety of entertainment for everyone. The location was quiet and private while also being a short drive (20-30 mins) from most major attractions in the Lancaster area. I looked at several properties across several sites and couldn't be happier I chose this one. We plan to make the trip an annual tradition, in large part to how well the house worked for our group and how much fun we had.

Incredibly relaxing/absolutely beautiful!
We had a fabulous time! It was one of our most relaxing vacations ever. The house and grounds are stunning. There are so many gorgeous details everywhere you look. It was a delight to spend time in such a beautiful & comfortable environment. My husband and I enjoyed the views from so many of the rooms. It truly was a delight! My brother joined us, for one night, on his way down to FL. We’re glad he could meet up with us, which gave him a break from his long drive. Thanks, John, for everything! We thoroughly enjoyed your amazing home. Thanks for sharing it with others. Most Sincerely, M., D. & R.

The Best in Comfort and Luxury!
Each Fall all the ladies in our family rent a home in Lancaster. We shop, cook, bake and enjoy the countryside. We have had wonderful rentals, but nothing can compare to this magnificent home. We expected a lovely rental but were blown away as soon as we opened the door! The home was spacious and clean with polished wood floors, comfortable furnishings and gorgeous architectural designs. Outdoors there was a hot tub, a wood burning fireplace and comfortable furniture. Indoors there was a gas fireplace to take the chill out of the cold autumn evenings. When we had questions, the property owner responded right away. We hope to return each year, making this our 'go to' lodging!

Beautiful Home
Beautiful home and location. The outdoor "family room, with fireplace," was amazing. The kitchen had everything we needed. The WiFi worked perfectly for the folks who needed to work. Great place for a relaxing family "reunion" and trip to visit Winterthur and Lancaster area. Highly recommend.
