This charming and updated home offers the perfect escape for families, couples, or groups of friends, with four comfortable queen beds that sleep up to 8 guests. The hot tub is waiting for you at the end of your long day. Enjoy relaxing evenings around the cozy fire pit (firewood provided), or spend your days paddling on the river using the kayaks available for your use. The cabin is nestled on a quiet, tree-lined road that provides a true sense of seclusion and calm, yet it’s just a short drive to Lancaster’s popular attractions, shopping, dining, and entertainment.
