We had such a wonderful stay at this charming house in Pennsylvania! From the moment we arrived, the thoughtful touches made us feel right at home — the goodies on the counter and fresh milk in the fridge were such a treat. We especially loved sitting outside and watching the cows, which made the experience even more relaxing and memorable. The location was perfect and very convenient to our events. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy, welcoming place to stay!

Fun and relaxing retreat

We loved staying at the Farmhaus. Our favorites were the resident cows and the ice cream across the street. We had the best accommodations for a family wedding.

We had a lovely time at this wonderful farm house!! Cows to see, geese in the pond, maybe a Blue Heron standing by the pond. The house was well stocked and supplied. We really liked the beds already made!! We felt like we were “home”!

This was an absolutely amazing place to stay! The house was well done with plenty of information about the history of the house as well as fun things to do around Lancaster. My son loved waking up and running to see the cows every morning. It was a very peaceful place in the evening to wind down, loved the wind chimes on the back porch.

Amazing and quiet

To say this place was amazing, it’s an understatement! It was perfect. We had 4 kids ranging from 15-11, they were well entertained. The house was quiet, beautiful, I loved having my morning coffee sitting on the back deck, admiring the cows, and baby geese! We definitely will be back! Thank you so much for the great stay!

Thanksgiving Mini Getaway

This property was amazing. My adult children said it was the best one yet! I would've loved to stay just one more day to enjoy the home, cows, and back porch. Our host thought of every last detail to make our stay perfect. The welcome basket was an extra special touch. Travelling in our group were young 24+ adults, a 60 year old mom, & a 78 year old Grandma. It was wonderful reconnecting & simply having time together.

It feels like this place is our new “home away from home!” It literally has everything you could possibly need or want. Helen and Loren are amazing hosts and the cows are the best welcoming committee you could ever hope for. The house is spotless, the rooms are cozy, the kitchen is a dream, and the views are incredible. I seriously don’t have one negative about this house, which is why we continue to come back! Our new favorite memory is flying a kite in the yard with the cows cheering us on! The serenity is unmatched. Our daughter has even dubbed it, the hotel house. We will be back! Don’t second guess yourself, book this place immediately!

A beautiful restored old farmhouse! It was spotless and smelled fresh and clean. It is a working farm so we enjoyed watching the cows. The host was very attentive and answered quickly if there was a question. A basket of goodies awaited us including a gift card to Shady Maple Smorgasbord. This restaurant is about 1 mile away. The scenery at the farm is gorgeous and there are 2 porches to sit on and enjoy it. They have a well stocked kitchen and we enjoyed cooking together. There were plenty of fresh towels and washcloths. All of the beds were comfy and freshly made . All in all this is a lovely place to stay and we would highly recommend it for anyone looking to stay in Lancaster Co.

Our stay was wonderful. The house was immaculate, and there were many homey touches, including a lovely basket with local jelly, apple butter, glow sticks & lots of pamphlets for local places. The home was exactly as described, with plenty of space for our party of 7. The kitchen was well stocked & we were able to find all that was needed to cook a meal.We loved being up close with the cows, seeing the Amish buggies go by, and just the peaceful setting. They had games, and even a croquet set, which we enjoyed!

Amazing place! Spotless, comfortable, and very beautiful. It is on, but separated from, a working farm with friendly cows you can pet. They are kept separate from the rental property by fences, so no worries about them intruding. Plenty of lighting everywhere, complete with night lights to aid in navigating the place in the middle of the night. Although the house is over 200 years old, the kitchen, bathrooms and laundry are all new. Convenient to all the interesting places Lancaster county has to offer, and a short drive to Gettysburg, Philadelphia, and for a longer outing (leave early in the morning), Chesapeake Bay. Helpful friendly hosts who give just the right amount of attention to you, without intruding on your privacy. In fact it was so nice, we even asked if we could extendour stay. Can’t recommend this place enough. Oh, one more thing: turn up the driveway with the frog town FarmHaus sign, not the other one.

The FarmHaus property is amazing! Very quaint and charming. The back porch offers amazing views of the fields and pond. Watch the workings of the farm itself from the front porch. The kids love the cows and birds! It is so quiet. We were overly impressed with all of the little amenities and personal notes and touches. The Internet service was great. The property was clean and so many small things provided- like a Keurig coffee pot and filters, laundry detergent, and wonderful hand soap in each restroom. The hosts were very available when we had a question. If you want to truly experience the area, skip a hotel and stay here!
