About this property

Historic Columbia Retreat | Near Amish Country

Welcome to your home away from home in one of Lancaster County’s most historic river towns. This spacious, three story townhouse in Columbia, Pennsylvania, offers the perfect blend of small town charm and modern convenience. Whether you are visiting for a family vacation, a corporate relocation, or a quiet getaway near Amish Country, this home provides the space and privacy that hotels simply cannot match.

Designed With Families in Mind
Traveling with children should be fun, not a chore. We designed this home specifically to help families pack light and relax. You will find a crib, high chair, and baby monitor ready for your arrival. We have also stocked the house with toys, games, and kid-friendly dishes to keep the little ones entertained. While we are a favorite for families, our quiet neighborhood and thoughtful layout make us an ideal choice for visiting professionals and extended stays as well.

Three Levels of Comfort
With three full floors to spread out, everyone has room to breathe.

• The Heart of the Home: A fully stocked kitchen featuring all major appliances plus both a Keurig and a drip coffee maker for your morning routine.

• Work & Play: Stay connected with reliable, high speed WiFi and three Smart TVs located throughout the home.

• The Essentials: Enjoy the ease of in-unit laundry, fresh linens, and secure keyless entry for a stress-free check-in.

Your Private Outdoor Oasis
The private patio is the perfect spot to unwind after a day of exploring Lancaster County. Fire up the gas grill for a backyard barbecue, or enjoy a glass of wine under the glow of the overhead string lights. The lounge seating and partially fenced yard offer a peaceful retreat for both kids and adults.

The Perfect Location
Located on charming Locust Street, you are perfectly positioned to experience the best of the region:

• In the Neighborhood: Walk to the Turkey Hill Experience or enjoy the scenic trails along the Susquehanna River.

• Lancaster Favorites: Just a 20 minute drive to the historic Central Market and downtown restaurants, and 35 minutes to the famous Kitchen Kettle Village.

• Convenient Commutes: Close to the Amtrak Station, Lancaster General Hospital, Franklin & Marshall College, and Routes 30 and 222.

Parking & Security
We provide dedicated driveway parking for two vehicles, and free street parking is also available. For your peace of mind, we have exterior security cameras that face outward toward the perimeter of the property.

Experience the heart of Lancaster County like a local. Whether you are here for a weekend or a month, we look forward to hosting you!

Loved our trip and loved staying here! First time visiting Columbia and staying at this VRBO. Went with my sister, my teen daughter and her friend for three days of their spring break. Had a fabulous time exploring the numerous vintage and thrift shops. The location of the VRBO is so convenient, with free street parking and a very short walk into town for shopping and restaurants. The unit was very clean and bright, and well-appointed for a short or long-term stay. Beds were extremely comfortable, and the bathrooms and kitchen were updated. The host was very quick to respond to communications and friendly and welcoming.
Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2026
