About this property

Secluded Getaway - Entire House; free parking; fully furnished kitchen

Highlights: Entire house with laundry facilities; fully furnished kitchen; heat and AC; internet; gas grill; spacious deck overlooking forest; free parking on premises.

Relax in comfort at this newly renovated home. With a secluded wooded view in the middle of Amish country, you can let the stress of everyday life evaporate. Enjoy a morning breakfast on the deck or just gaze up through the treetops while listening to the gentle breeze. In the heart of PA Dutch Country, this place is just a few miles from attractions like Dutch Wonderland and Strasburg Rail Road. But you'll also be a mere 30 minutes from the fine cuisine and art of downtown Lancaster. Parking is free and plentiful. Rental is for the entire house.

This house has been newly renovated inside. You will enter into the hallway where you can immediately offload you jackets and shoes. A spacious living room and kitchen area will then be revealed, perfect for social activities and relaxing. The newly built deck includes a gas grill and is easily accessed via the kitchen or dining area.

An adjacent hallway provides access to the main bathroom and the three bedrooms, which are situated far enough away for the main living areas to ensure peace and rest. The master and second bedrooms have a queen bed each. The third bedroom has a double bed. A mid-day's nap might end with window view of the trees, perfect for ensuring your batteries are fully charged before returning to everyday life.

If you need to do laundry, a clean and practical utility room is down the staircase from the kitchen. Here you will find a washer, a dryer and laundry detergents.

As our guest, you can enjoy the entire first floor of the house, and make use of the utility room downstairs if needed. Enjoy a late morning breakfast on the spacious deck surrounding two sides of the house, or rest on our yard enveloping the house.

The barn is off limits to our guests, due to safety. The pond down the hill is not part of the estate and is thus off limits.

If electrical issues occur, there is access to the breaker box through the door beside the dryer.

Great month-long stay! The hosts were excellent communicators and very gracious! The house is in a safe location and has all the comforts needed - this was the most well-appointed house weve ever rented (well-stocked kitchen, cleaning supplies, lots of extra linens, etc). The beds were exceptionally comfortable, the kitchen has updated appliances, and the two full bathrooms were clean and in great condition. The house is nestled in beautiful woods but is easily accessible to everything in Lancaster County. Cannot say enough good things about this stay, looking forward to renting it again when we can!!

This place was exactly what we wanted, a well kept home away from noise and busy roads. The visiting cats made it seem like home! It was close to what we wanted to do, greenhouse’s and fun shops. We loaded my jeep with all sorts of treasures! We will definitely want to stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality!

Absolutely loved our stay. Very clean and comfortable. It felt like we were in a treehouse as we viewed the trees from the kitchen window sipping our morning coffee. We were greeted by a lovely cat each morning perched outside on the deck railing. As someone who is allergic to cats, this was no problem at all. They remained outdoors. I could enjoy from afar. I highly recommend staying at this property. It is also close to the best of Lancaster attractions

House was clean but has a musty odor. Some of the amenities definitely need updating. Kitchen was stocked with dishes & cookware but some of it was less than desirable. Primary bedroom was fine but the other two bedrooms were cramped.

Response from VrboOwner on 10 Dec 2025
Sorry to hear that your stay was not 100%. I am not sure what that musty smell might be, but we have since cleaned some of the duct work. And we have gone throught the kitchen to make sure that everything is is in good working condition. Thanks for your otherwise nice review. Hope to host you again.

The house had everything we needed. The location was perfect for our daily adventures. Everything was pretty much within 5 miles or so. There was no satellite or cable channels available on the television but if you have streaming accounts you are good to go. The host gave us a discount for the television service. He was very pleasant to deal with. I would stay there again and recommend it to others. Loved the fact that it was kind of secluded but not.

We were very pleased and will likely return.House needs some repairs. We met your father and mother.. He tried to help me with the tv. We never got tv to work. You need to provide instructions for tv use.4 cats spent lots of time on the deck. Not being a cat person, that was not good. Providing coffee, water, etc. was a nice touch. Kitchen was well equipped.Thanks for letting us use your home.

Response from VrboOwner on 9 Oct 2025
We are glad to hear that you might return. Sorry about the TV. The problem has since been fixed. And yes, the cat population in the area has grown. All but one are neighbours' cats. They probably come there because guests feed them. At any rate, you are welcomed back anytime.

I want the host to let the owner of this home know that yes, it was secluded and a beautiful home but you need to address the mold. The gutters are full of leaves and the home smells musty from mold growing. I'm not going to leave a bad review because maybe you're unaware of this and again it was very nice except for this. The beds were so comfortable. The home was clean. However, we woke up with a headache everyday from the mold.

About the host

Hosted by Richard L Whitehead

Host profile image
I am from Paradise, PA but currently live in Norway. My Mom and Dad are co-hosts and handle guest affairs. They live about 2 minutes away in the house where I grew up. I love hosting because I want to share this unique and secluded home with others.

Why they chose this property

The house belonged to my grandparents. I took it over after they passed away. This home has so many memories for me - helping to build it in 1990, spending Christmas day here with my grandparents, and sitting on the deck with my grandmother talking about horses and her garden. I hope your time here will make for great memories too.

What makes this property unique

The home is secluded and peaceful but also easy to access, and full of necessities and amenities. The forest that surrounds the property help to shield the home from road traffic. The Amish neighbors are also quiet.
