Very charming, relaxing spot - feels like a private, in-the-woods retreat. A lot of love and attention to detail went into furnishing and decorating the place, and we had some great nights playing ping pong and pool. A very fun place to stay with a group!

Wonderful property for a multifamily stay. The basement housed and entertained five teenagers comfortably. Meals were enjoyed on the screened-in porch while listening to the birds. Hot tub was a bonus. Tons of room to gather as a group in the house, but the weather was so nice, we enjoyed the outside space the most. Eric is a great communicator. Check-in and check out were a breeze. Make sure to visit Stroud Preserve for great walking/running trails. The Amish Market is also a gem in the neighborhood!

The house is very impressive, located in a beautiful wooded area. The sound of birds and the sunlight coming through the trees made our stay magical. The beds are comfortable and everything you need for your personal stay is provided. The kitchen is wonderful and big enough for several cooks, and entertaining. We enjoyed having our coffee and breakfast on the porch, amongst the sounds of nature. There are so many rooms and decks around the house, that there was not enough time to enjoy it all. We had a baby shower there, and it could not have been any better. The host, Eric, was very gracious, greeting us when we arrived and was available if we had any questions. We would book this house again, if the occasion ever arises.

This lodge was amazing. We had a mixture of students and adults for a small retreat and we were all impressed. The kitchen space was awesome and allowed for easy meal cooking and distribution to a large group. The unique room decorations enthralled the students, and the outdoor spaces were great. The kids especially liked being able to go on short hikes in the woods. Game room items were a big win as well. And the beds were all reportedly very comfortable, including in the game room.I would definitely book this space again in the future!!
The living room was so spacious! We were able to place two queen sized air mattresses in there, in addition to a couch able to sleep 2 or 3!

Great time!

We stayed here for my son’s graduation from West Chester University. The location was great. The sprawling home gave us lots of space for our family. Clean and inviting. Loved the outdoor porches and the large living areas to sit and share time with family. Would stay here again when in the area.
