Very clean, comfortable, and spacious house. Was a perfect place to spend Thanksgiving with my children and parents! Also views of the farm were fantastic.
The house was beautiful! We had a fantastic visit and it met all our needs. Having the garage to park the cars in and the bonus basement space for the kids to hang out in was perfect. We visited in December and it was had a gorgeous view of the farm. I can’t even imagine how amazing it is in warmer weather. We made some fantastic meals in the lovely kitchen and were able to all sit together around the spacious dining table. It was very clean and the beds comfy. It was such a great choice for our trip to the area.
Our stay at the Magnolia Cottage was very comfortable and relaxing. The host’s attention to detail made us feel right at home. The grounds are beautiful, offering splendid views and tranquility.
Lovely, big home. Kitchen was well supplied with dishes and pans. Outdoor patio and grill was great! Huge basement that the kids could play around in. They loved the ping pong table and air tube game! Would stay there again.
This was a wonderful place for our family to stay while visiting my mom in Elizabethtown. We enjoyed the peace and quiet - and the farms surrounding the property. The house was cozy / well appointed / met our needs perfectly!
This property is situated on an expanse of farmland with a lot of privacy and open space. The house is very well-maintained, with a lot of carefully nuanced touches that make guests feel welcome. The host is quite helpful and communicative. Thank you!!
What a fantastic place to celebrate the new year. Spacious rooms, clean, comfortable beds, great views. Very refreshing that it was exactly like the pictures. Great communication with host. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect setting to celebrate the new year with friends and family.
I rented the Magnolia Cottage for a small 50th year reunion of 9 friends. The living, dining and bedroom spaces were ideal. Communication with the owner was prompt and helpful. The location was a lovely Lancaster County setting while still being close to the city of Lancaster.
This house was spacious and perfect for our 8 coworkers! The grounds are spectacular. In our downtime there’s ping pong, basketball and a fire pit. It’s close enough to stores and highways but with no neighbors..just surrounded by corn!! Everyone had a wonderful time!
Country Retreat located amid rolling hills and plenty of room for families
Great space and layout for big families, beautiful outdoor space. Plenty of clean beds and bathrooms. Wonderful main floor great room/kitchen, and a must-see wrap around porch…complete with wicker rockers. Relax. Renew. Refresh. Lots of activities nearby.
Where to begin? The views from this home were spectacular, even with a little rain. It was so very peaceful and quiet. The beds were absolutely the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on. The rooms were a perfect fit for our group of 9. We will definitely be booking this home again when we return to Lancaster.
We are a group of ladies who gather every year for a week. This may have been the best yet. We are contemplating returning next year. The views out our windows were magnificent. We had easy access to everything we needed-food, shopping, etc. The house is clean and bright. Janine was super helpful when needed. Many thanks, Alix
House is locationed in a beautiful setting with lots of surrounding land. The inside is immaculately clean, and includes a lot of updated accents that add to the appeal. The ping pong table, fire pit, basketball court were a blast. Kitchen had everything you need. Host was wonderful, helpful, and communicated strategically at various time to ensure we were doing well. I highly recommend.
We had family gather from various places for a relaxing and beautiful Thanksgiving. The house was very comfortable and the location was pastoral and idyllic. Close drive to interesting places in Amish country when we wanted to do something. But the house is great for just hanging out with family. Janine was great to deal with - prompt, helpful, and friendly. The house even had a Christmas tree for us. Overall, A+ experience for our family.
Spent a long weekend at Magnolia Cottage with our kids and grandkids. The house was exactly as pictured! The kitchen was well stocked, lots of room for everyone. Kids enjoyed the ping pong table and huge TV downstairs. All the beds were very comfortable.
The best part was the location! The surrounding farmland was pretty and peaceful. We watched the sunrise on the wraparound porch. Close to many attractions( we visited Hershey Park, Corn Cob Acres, Lancaster Market, creamery) and numerous restaurants.
We would absolutely rent out this place again!
In the area for a wedding, my sister, our husbands and four adult children thoroughly enjoyed our stay “Magnolia Cottage”.
There was ample room to gather in both small and large groups throughout the home and or porch or back patio.
The kitchen is spacious and nicely appointed. We enjoyed gathering around the fire pit in the evenings and spent most mornings on the covered porch enjoying coffee together!
The area has multiple markets and other commercial options for grocery and various supplies.
We loved our stay and recommend this property with comfort and confidence!
Magnolia Cottage is exactly what we needed for our annual Lancaster County getaway. The house is beautiful and spacious. The bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and accommodating. Everyone talked about how comfortable the mattresses are. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. The views are spectacular! We absolutley loved the sunrises and sunsets. It was a pleasure to have Janine as our host. She was responsive and informative. We are grateful to Janine for sharing her wonderful home with us. All in all, a fun and memorable weekend!
Janine was a great host! She even had the driveway salted the morning after a freeze. The place was beautiful and the perfect home for our family reunion. We will definitely rebook this wonderful stay!
Janine was fantastic—responsive, kind, and a pleasure to work with. The house was very cozy, warm, and welcoming, making it feel like a true home away from home. Everything was well maintained and thoughtfully prepared, and we truly enjoyed our stay. We would absolutely recommend this property and would love to return in the future.
Beautiful and spacious house that perfectly suited our needs as a family with 7 children. The beds were comfortable and the general area was secluded and relaxing. Highly recommend!
