The absolute best home we have ever rented for so many reasons. Stunning grounds , horses to enjoy , goats to meet , fire pit , gazebo by the pool ., etc . Most importantly, the historic farm home was incredibly beautiful and accommodating, with exquisite country decor .Very large with room enough for our big family. Kids enjoyed exploring the amazing property..Host provided everything that you would need , including a beautiful welcome basket of goodies. Hosts were amazing and entire rental process was perfect. We hated to leave but will definitely rent again.

The Perfect Place

The house at Shallow Brook Farm was perfect for our family; in town for my son’s wedding. Super clean, plenty of space in a quiet country setting. The owners were super responsive to any questions. Everything worked fabulous and we all had a fantastic stay!

The hostess was kind, considerate, and gracious. The property is gorgeous and comfortable. And the pool was a big hit with the grandchildren. It was so enjoyable we are considering requesting a two week stay next summer.

Absolutely Amazing

Our stay was wonderful. The property owners were super responsive and provided detailed information from the booking until checkout. The communications were very friendly and welcoming. The property is just spectacular. We were blown away with how beautifully the house was maintained both inside and outside. The property was fully ready with everything anyone could possibly need. It was like staying at home but better! The owners provided great resources and guides as well. They thought of everything. If we could give more than 5 stars we would. We absolutely recommend this property for a peaceful beautiful getaway!

Spacious and Peaceful

We had an amazing stay in Wanda's farmhouse. The house was very spacious and our kids especially loved the basement area where they could play games and the beautiful backyard where they played and had an Easter egg hunt. My husband needed to do a little bit of work while we were there and found the office perfect for his needs. We couldn't get enough of waking up to the peaceful sounds of the creek nearby, the birds chirping, and watching the horses in the pasture as well as buggies go by. Our kids will never forget that! The hostess had left a welcome basket with coffee and snacks as well as a very comprehensive guidebook to the house and area. There were plenty of cooking utensils and two large tables inside for family meals. The area is very quiet, yet close to a few grocery stores and the farmhouse was a great home base from which to explore Lancaster and Hershey. We had a restful and peaceful getaway and would love to return soon!

Amazing Stay!!

We LOVED our 3 night stay at this property. We were there celebrating my husband's birthday with friends and family and I could not have asked for a better place to stay. The home has everything you could need to cook and share a meal. I made guacamole one evening and went looking the the kitchen drawers for a lemon/lime juicer and found one! Was not expecting the property to be so well stocked, but it was definitely appreciated by everyone. The home was clean and comfortable and tucked away in a quaint country location (watch out for those Amish buggies at night, haha!). I loved that there was enough room for all of us to sleep comfortably (4 bedrooms plus the basement had a pull out couch). We made use of the firepit and were very thankful the owners had firewood on-hand, fire starters, and even s'more sticks for the kiddos to use. I loved sipping coffee each morning while looking out front windows to see the horses be let out for the day. The kiddos LOVED the playing on the outdoor swings and checking out the creek at the back of the property. Communication before our stay with the owners was great. We didn't need anything while we were there but I know they would have been responsive if we did. I cannot recommend this place enough if you are looking for a gorgeous, low-key place to relax and hang out with friends and family. I can definitely see myself coming back here, especially in the summer to also enjoy the pool.

The property was absolutely beautiful. House was very spacious and the decor was very nice. The host was very accomodating and made us feel like family. Even bought my wife a birthday cake for her 60th. Requested additional towels and it was not an issue. We cannot thank our host for the great hospitality.

Gorgeous Property

This is our second year staying at this property, and it continues to exceed expectations. The home is beautiful, the kitchen large and well-equipped, and the pool area(where we spent most of our time), perfect. The house is close enough to everything in the area (Lancaster, Strasburg, etc.), but still feels like you are on your own private farm. Wanda and Lyndsay are great hosts, easy to communicate with, and always accessible if you need anything.

Family vacation

The vacation home was perfect for a large family group vacation. The spacious kitchen was one of our favorite rooms to gather and share conversations, while preparing meals. Of course all enjoyed the pool! When we had some rainy days, everyone seemed to find things to do; enjoying arts and crafts in the sun porch, playing games at the extra large dining table or just relaxing with family in the living room and family room. We definitely give this vacation family farm house a 5 STAR rating.

Wedding visit

This property is amazing. It is exactly as described, but better. Photos do not do it justice. All the small decor touches makes it feel like home. Everyone we had contact with were very nice and helpful. We traveled there to attend a wedding, but if we ever have the need for lodging in that area again we will be sure to book this home again.

This house was the perfect place to celebrate a family Christmas with my adult children. The kitchen was exactly the right size for a casual breakfast and prep space for making Italian gravy, and the huge dining room table was the site of our games, dinner and gift exchange. We loved seeing the horses and thoroughly enjoyed the rural quiet of the farm. Thank you to the hosts for leaving all their holiday decorations up for us!
