Fabulous in every way!

This is our second stay and it couldn’t have gone smoother! We come to Lancaster to visit family and it gets VERY crowded at their house so it is Heaven to have our own space that is clean and spacious. The owners are extremely respectful of our privacy and we didn’t even notice the space was attached to theirs. Using the keypad to come and go and having clear instructions on where to park ahead of time made it possible to freely use the space on our schedule. The temperature was perfect and bedding just right and comfy mattress! Even though there is no stove the kitchen was well equipped and having a few bottled waters for us was super handy. Having a washer and dryer in the BEAUTIFUL bathroom is convenient and having some pods available and extra tissue meant no extra trips to the store which happens to be right across the street and even a Tim Hortons steps away! Thank you for another perfect stay!

Clean, well maintained and decorated really nice. The outdoor balcony was a wonderful surprise. Some extras one might want to be comfortable like fans, blankets, iron, workout equipment and a comfy bed!

Totality Solar

We went for the solar eclipse which turned out to be a dud. What wasn't a dud was the property in which we stayed. It was clean, stocked, and well maintained. Communicating with the owner was a breeze. I defiantly would stay there again if I was ever in the area.

Perfect

We were in town for a Buffalo Bills game, stayed at this property 3 nights. It was just perfect for the two of us. Perfectly situated between all the stores and resturants you would need and the stadium. Very clean and comfy. We enjoyed the view of the pond, but was too chilly to enjoy from the balcony. Would highly recommend.

Kathleen

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Communication
The room was very large, super clean, comfortable bed (standard size), in a lovely neighborhood with stores, restaurants near by. Parking was easy and close to door. A problem coming in was a very steep staircase,to the second floor with narrow risers and cleaning supplies outside the door on a narrow landing. Room was furnished nicely and only problem was one very small closet filled with superfluous clutter that had to be removed before it was usable. Odd heating/cooling system, TV operation, coffee maker and no instructions on how to use them. Kitchenette well stocked with dishes, cooking equipment and some basic food supplies. Lovely view of the backyard with pond and grassy lawn from a deck.

Good location to our family reunion

Unit nice overall & large. Couple who own property were very pleasant to interact w. One suggestion we have is to remove the outlet room freshener items. Scent very strong for our liking - we removed during our stay to help minimize the smell. Also, bec of unit location near rather busy road, we recommend that travelers bring some type of noise cancellation device. Our portable fan seemed to do the trick in conjunction w something they provided in the room. Otherwise, the space felt comfortable & well equipped w items. Thank you for your hospitality!
