Convenient and comfortable stay in the heart of Amish country

Perfect place for a quick family getaway to Amish country. We were able to see and do so much during our short stay because of the convenient location and comfortable stay. Juanita also connected us to a blacksmith that did a wonderful demonstration in his shop.

Great vacation at the Country Nest! Super convenient to shopping and restaurants. The only downside would be the road noise, but we didn’t let that bother us. Loved seeing the Amish buggies go by. Will hopefully be back.

Beautiful town and lovely home

Our bowling team was in PA for a national high school bowling tournament. Our VRBO, was perfect for our needs. It was clean, comfortable, and located in a safe little town. Our host went above and beyond to accommodate us throughout our stay. The fire pit in the back yard was perfect for a night of s’mores, chasing fireflies, and laughing: I would highly recommend a stay at this lovely VRBO in Intercourse, PA.

Bunco Girls Getaway Weekend

The Nest was a big, cozy house for all of us to spread out, be comfortable yet come together at the long dining room table. We put several extra leaves in it! We could walk to Kitchen Kettle Village and easily drive to Millers Smorgasbord and Sight and Sound Theater. We were blessed with beautiful weather all weekend too!

Multi-generational girl trip

We came up to the area for a variety of activities- Sight and Sound show, outlet shopping, and fabric shopping at the quilt shops. This house is in our favorite area, and just far enough off Rt 340 to mitigate some of the road noise at night. The house itself has been thoughtfully furnished and was very clean (and I’m very picky about that). There was plenty of room for us to gather in the living room but also enough bedrooms to have our own spaces. We would definitely stay here again when we’re in the area next.

Great stay

Owner is very responsive and kind. Home is as described with a lot of special touches. Clean, well stocked. Welcome gifts. Fire pit is great. Family, ages 19-83 from across the US enjoyed our stay! Location is convenient to walk to many restaurants and Kitchen Kettle village that has over 30 shops!! Lots to do in the area. Amish dinner through owner is a must! Eggs from eggs were nice touch. Great experience. Would stay again!!
