About this property

Kate's Guest House "Hidden Retreat"

Our guest house is a fully furnished 5 bedroom house located in a small town in the middle of Amish Country. There are lots of restaurants and shops nearby for your enjoyment. A swimming pool, playhouse, swingset, and lots of room outside to sit and relax on the patio beside the pool. Two of the bedrooms lead out to a balcony.

The kitchen has a sliding door out to a deck. The family room has a wood burning fireplace, built in bookcases with lots of books and magazines, a TV and sliding doors leading out to a screened in porch. We also have an office with a desk and a couch that opens up to a bed which would give sleeping room for two more people. The dining room has a large table, ideal for groups, and also a smaller table w/4 chairs.

Large Home Perfect For Family Time

Our family of 6 adults and 5 children had a wonderful weekend at Kate's Weekend Retreat. This home is huge and was a wonderful home away from home. We enjoyed time away from the city and enjoyed the wonderful country views. The pool and outdoor spaces allowed for our family to relax, play, and just enjoy each other. The huge kitchen had everything we needed to prepare and serve meals. A great VRBO experience! Thanks Katy

Spacious but lacking

The house is spacious with a nice selection of beds. Fantastic to have a large dining table that 8 people can have meals together and a 4 seat table adjacent to the dining table for additional people. Great yard, pool and outdoor seating. If you are bringing children be aware that the pools DOES NOT have a lock on the gate, play set has some rot, indoor house stairs cannot be gated for infants and toddlers, the wash and dryer are COIN operated and the interior carpets are filthy. Amenities should be expanded on the listing, for example the coffee maker is drip style and coin operated laundry. We learned the day before that the dishwasher was not functional. After we arrived we noticed that the dishwasher had dirty standing water in it that began to smell. Owner solution was to put pool shock chemicals in the dishwasher! Overall the home need TLC.

Disappointed in response

We've had our family vacations here for several years and we always have a good time together. The house air conditioner has always been insufficient for the size of the house, but this year it broke down completely and we spent 2 days and nights without air; windows have no screens so we battled flies, and with horses and cows as neighbors, it was a fly fest. When we finally realized it was not just insufficient but no air I emailed the owner (no cell phone service) but ultimately had to go to the owner's house to report the problem. We were made to feel like either liars or idiots as owners continued to tell us it was working before and we were not doing something right. Finally convinced there was no air coming out of the vents, they called a repairman who fixed a broken belt. I realize problems happen and it wasn't the problem but the owners' attitude that I didn't appreciate. Oh, and no apology, the owner just wanted us to close up the windows before the repairman had the air back on. And, what does the VRBO service fee do for us? Nothing, obviously...when I tried to contact VRBO, there was just a message to contact the owner.

Excellent Trip!

Kate’s place as just what we needed. We usually get a hotel but hate being in separate rooms and no common area to hang out. Kate’s house was perfect! The whole family could hang out, we swam, utilized the play set, and enjoyed a cookout with the girl one evening! Kate communicated with us very efficiently over a little issue out of her control but had it fixed right away. Will definitely be back!
