Shepherds Hut

This place was amazing. Rosalind was wonderful and the shepherds hut was fantastic. The barn kitties were a perfect touch and would greet us in the morning and come back in the evening to visit. The area was perfect with the creek right next to us and the history of the mill was Interesting. Definitely would visit again!

Wonderful hide away

This glamping experience is a bit of paradise set back away from the city. We drove to multiple towns during the day and it was a short jaunt back to the property when we were ready to enjoy a bit of serenity. The site is close enough to the main property to get help if you need it but set a part to feel like you are in your own little world. We loved it.

Magical Retreat - Even Better Than The Pictures!

This property is absolutely gorgeous. Sitting outside, listening to the sound of the creek and being surrounded by the trees was really an amazing escape. Everything was so clean, I could tell the host paid attention to the details. The shepherds hut itself fit perfect into the setting. It was an incredibly comfortable, new mattress and made for a wonderful night sleep. I highly recommend this stay for anyone visiting the area.

Charming retreat, blending history and nature

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cozy hut! The host was very responsive and made accommodations for our little one. We appreciated the rich history of the estate, along with the numerous natural amenities, like the nearby creek (where we took a quick dip in the swimming hole). The outdoor shower and bathroom were clean and well-maintained. It's a short trip to town, yet we felt pleasantly secluded from the hustle and bustle. We would be happy to return!

Adorable little hut, very private!

We stayed 3 nights. We fished, fished & fished, catching trout, small mouth bass, rock bass, sun perch & even a catfish. The creek was amazing.The hut is so cool. It's set up perfectly! The bed is extremely comfortable. The walk to the swimming hole is quick, but we didn't try it out. The shower is aaaaamazing!!Being located in between Hershey & Lancaster is a huge plus. There is so much to do.Relaxing & peaceful...worth the trip from Virginia!!

Glamping Charm!

This was a charming stay on a large private “glamping site” right next to the Conowago creek and across the creek through a bank of woods is the Conowago trail. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. The outdoor shower was a highlight. The owner lent me a wagon, which was essential if you are staying alone and have a cooler. Recommend a good cooler for the stay. It was quite fun!

Peaceful Woodland Treat by the Creek

What a nice, peaceful stay by the strong flowing creek (river) for one night!! The hut, even more interesting a restored hay wagon, was immaculate. Its all in the details. The owner's attention to making the rental cozy, homey, and a unique woodland escape were evident from wall to wall, and outdoors. Electricity and charging ports were a great bonus. We were completely warmed by the ambient electric woodstove and the "outhouse"/toilet was spotless. Warm months would be a pleasure to use the large, hot water shower by the creek. The outside area with gas grill, neat-as-a-pin firepit with provided over-the-fire cooking grill (not your average grate), hammock and seating were grassy and well-groomed for leisure that we enjoyed creek side for the view, and nature's music. The owner is a sweetheart and easy for needs and communication. We felt privacy, too. There was a bit of walk along grassy route from the parking to the hut. This is alongside the beautiful creek, but not unreasonably lengthy. Staying again goes without question!

We originally booked this for a concert and before going on the trip it was rescheduled. Despite deciding to still take the trip the host was already trying to accommodate our trip for the rescheduled dates which I appreciate. The hut was adorable and extremely clean. Being next to the water was such a relaxing bonus. I absolutely loved the out door shower. It was absolutely relaxing. The outhouse was very clean. I loved the fire pit and cooking on it. There’s some friendly kitty friends that added to that homey feel. The host was very helpful when you arrived and showed you everything you would need to know. It was very very private. All in all definitely worth the stay. The price was great and the stay was even better.
