The property owners were so amazingly kind and helpful! We were able to drop off my friend’s insulin well before check-in which provided such a peace of mind while we enjoyed our day at the PA ren faire. Will absolutely be putting this on the books as an amazing getaway!

Due to location, this was not our first choice, but since our first choice was not available, this proved to be just fine. We only stayed one night and did not make use of most of the amenities offered, but we have no complaints on what we did use.

Quilters ….going to the show!

We didn’t realize there was no tv in the house. It was no problem, but it would be nice to have seen some news in the morning. Super nice place to stay. Beds were comfortable and the place was very clean. Lots of coffee available and creamers and sugar! I’d stay there again!
