Stayed for a week. House was exactly as described. Communication: John was very quick to respond to any questions. Check-in/out was easy. The house is updated and very comfortable. It is centrally located to everything we wanted to do. Convenient to restaurants and shopping only a few minutes away. We will look to stay again next time we visit.

Everything was Awesome!
We had a fantastic experience with this home. The host had coffee, water bottles and snacks for us - we felt welcomed and thought of from the start. It was well stocked with kitchen supplies and a good iron. The beds were comfy, the linens were high quality, and the house was clean and well decorated. The host was very communicative and easy to work with. I highly recommend this home for your next Lancaster adventure!

Clean, comfortable and homey! Great location!
After much searching in the area for the perfect fit for our family, we found it in this home! The location was great, the house was spotless (and I’m hard to please in that regard), and the personal touches, like cute decorations, good coffee, water bottles, a CLEAN Keurig, and a nice variety of “fun” and healthy snacks made it all that much better. The beds were all comfy, and the split level design made for easy access throughout. We cooked several meals there and had mostly everything we needed - the kitchen was nicely stocked with spices, oil, and sugar. The host was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely consider this home again if we come back to Lancaster for another getaway!

Excellent home away from home
We were very impressed with this home. The open concept living, dining & kitchen was perfect for our family to socialize all together. The bedrooms were very large and having 3 bathrooms was a big plus for all adults. We enjoyed the deck and fire pit just off the kitchen as well John the owner was very nice to work with and helped to make our stay even more comfortable. The kitchen was so very well stocked with just about everything you would need! Will definitely recommend this property and come back again.

Great for Families
The kitchen was extremely well stocked. The bedrooms were comfortable and nicely decorated. I'd certainly recommend this home! It's on a busy road. I was a little nervous with toddlers getting in the car and what not. They did great though. They really enjoyed watching cars and trucks from the front porch and playing in the back yard!

Pre-Christmas College Friends Gathering
How to get into the Christmas Spirit was the question our group of 7 close college friends discussed over a regular Zoom call. It was decided to return to Lancaster to enjoy the Prime Theatre’s annual Illumination Christmas Show and then we needed a place, accessible to all, to stay. John’s Vrbo rental was the perfect spot. He was so accommodating and helpful and we enjoyed every minute of being together in this warm and beautifully appointed ( and decorated) 4 bedroom home. Thank you John for making us feel so welcome! We will be back!

Five stars all the way!!
Title: A Perfect Retreat - Five Stars All the Way! We recently had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic rental, and we can't stop raving about what a phenomenal experience it was. From the moment we stepped through the door, we knew we were in for a treat. First and foremost, the cleanliness of the property was impeccable. It was evident that the owners take great pride in maintaining a spotless and welcoming environment. Every room was flawlessly presented, and the attention to detail did not go unnoticed. It truly felt like stepping into a home that was cared for with the utmost consideration for guests. The layout and design of the rental were both practical and aesthetically pleasing. The furnishings were not only comfortable but also stylish, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The attention to detail, from the tasteful decor to the thoughtful placement of amenities, showcased a level of thoughtfulness that contributed to the overall enjoyment of our stay. The kitchen was fully equipped with modern appliances and stocked with all the essentials. The bedrooms were cozy and provided a tranquil retreat at the end of each day. The quality of the bedding and the comfort of the mattresses ensured a restful night's sleep. Waking up in such a comfortable and well-appointed space added an extra layer of enjoyment to our stay. Communication with the property owner was smooth and efficient. John was responsive to any inquiries and provided helpful information about t

Best Home away from Home
Thanks for your beautiful definitely will be a home to rent in the future if we visit our family again the home had more stuff than my own home love the kitchen love the detail to make us feel comfortable thanks for the coffee and some little snack. At first we were scared of renting a home but you gave us that comfort of renting in the future the area is a quiet area peaceful and made it feel homey. I don't have no complaints or any negative input everything was perfect it would have made it even more it would have had a pool. Sad that our state was short but definitely is a home to stay for Long time. Close to places and close to the event of our family and even close to a family member

Lancaster Hub Location
This location was a great central point for many family-centered venues. Also within a mile of restaurants, supermarkets and gas. The home was ideal for families that need separate activities going on. The furniture and linens were good quality and comfortable. Owner John was great to work with and added many nice touches for guests, ie snacks, bath items etc. We will be back!

Family Home Away from Home
This house was a great place for our family group of six. The owner was very kind and extremely helpful. The house is clean and really comfortable. The only slightly negative issue was that the house is on a main road and the traffic sometimes made pulling out of the driveway a little difficult at times; however, all the other positives of this house definitely outweighs that little issue.
