Great experience

We wanted to get away from the city for a few days and our stay was everything we had hoped for. The house is beautiful, the scenery is great, we couldn’t have stayed at a better place. There’s a reason why this property has great reviews !

Fabulous stay!

We had the most wonderful visit! The cottage was adorable and nestled on beautiful farm land. It exceeded all of our expectations! Our hosts were absolutely delightful and provided all of the comforts of home… and more! (including farm fresh eggs and the most delicious homemade blueberry scones). When the property listing says it is pet friendly, they weren’t kidding! The host provided a sofa cover, dog bowls, and grain free treats for our dog Lily. It was the perfect vacation spot and we look forward to our next visit.Thank you so much, Carol!

Great Rental

Rental was extremely clean & well furnished. Wonderful view. Thoughtful touches like fresh eggs, freshly baked blueberry scones, fresh flowers, candy & even dog treats. The fenced in yard for our dog was greatly appreciated. Our dog found the chickens, rosters, emus & burros very interesting. The property is very well maintained & the owners are close by but give you privacy. Highly recommend.

Totally Awesome

Carol and Pete are the consummate hosts! This cottage is pristine- looking like no one has ever stayed here before us. The fresh blueberry scones, farm fresh eggs, and treats for our dog welcomed us. The kitchen is better stocked than ours at home with high quality dishes, glassware, and all the tools you need. Even the coffee was delicious!

Our 3rd Stay

My husband and I had another wonderful stay on Carol's property in May. We wouldn't dream of staying anywhere else when we are in the area. From the moment of our arrival, we are welcomed by Carol and her delicious scones and fresh eggs from her chickens. We feel relaxed as soon as we open the door. The only disappointment we experienced was having to leave! We can't wait for our next visit!

Wonderful Property!

We had a wonderful stay for our long weekend! Carol and Pete have an amazing property and everything was better than expected! The blueberry scones and fresh eggs that were waiting for us was such a thoughtful touch! They even left treats and a couch cover for our dog, Finn, who also had a wonderful time. The animals on the farm were very friendly and fun to interact with. The Mod Pos was cute and cozy, and had everything we needed. The outdoor shower was a bonus!!!

Unbelievably relaxing and peaceful

It started with Carol and Pete bring us the most delicious home made scones for our breakfast for the next three mornings. The house was so beautiful and well equipped for all your needs. The grounds are well maintained and are the home to donkeys, chickens ( that will provide you with fresh eggs) emus & some neighbors cows.The atmosphere is nothing but peaceful. The only bad part of the weekend was having to leave, but we plan and hope to return.

Lovely anniversary trip

The ModPod was the perfect location for us. We were able to do so much from this location. Lots to see and do within a 30 to 60 minute drive. We easily fit Hershey Park, Lancaster, Antiquing in Adamstown, and Gettysburg all into the three full days we had in Columbia. It was a treat to arrive to a full tray of homemade blueberry scones. We loved watching the farm animals and deer through the gorgeous large windows. Sitting outside in the screened porch made our morning coffee even better. Our dog loved her stay too and she was warmly welcomed. We look forward to making our way back.

50th Anniversary Celebration

We were looking for a romantic get away for our 50th Anniversary and this definitely fit the bill. The Mod Pod is a modern, beautiful, clean, and very well stocked cottage. It is far enough from the busy city, but close enough for when you want to venture out. Carol and Peter are wonderful hosts. There were a dozen roses and a festive 50 ballon waiting for us upon arrival. What a great surprise! Peter also baked the most delicious scones for us. They also had a dozen farm fresh eggs in the refrigerator. The cottage is decorated with care to every detail. They even have an outdoor shower for two! We loved our stay and hope to return sometime!
