About this property

Beautiful riverfront home surrounded by Amish farms in Lancaster

Discover Eagle's Branch River House, the perfect secluded riverfront perch to enjoy the sights and beauty of Lancaster farm country. Our three bedroom, two bath spacious home is ideally suited for a relaxing getaway with family or friends. It has a 'cabin' feel with modern amenities and is beautifully furnished. Three levels with master bedroom suite with its own private wraparound deck, modern kitchen, expansive rec room with river views, and multi-tier decks overlooking the river and surrounding Amish farms.

On a quiet gravel lane, you won't find a better place to unwind in the heart of Amish country! The Conestoga River is a designated water trail and popular for canoeing, kayaking, fishing and wildlife viewing. Our home provides convenient river access on a beautiful stretch of the Conestoga between the historic Bushong Mill and the famous Pinetown and Hunsecker's Mill Covered Bridges.

Most guests enjoy relaxing to the sound of the river rapids, but amenities include large-screen TVs, Wi-Fi and a Weber grill. Quiet and peaceful yet a quick 10 minutes to downtown Lancaster, farmers markets and all the sights and activities.

Also a short drive to many other attractions including Hersheypark, Dutch Wonderland, the historic Fulton Theatre, American Music Theatre, Sight & Sound, Cherry Crest Adventure Farm, Longwood Gardens, Strasburg Rail Road, historic Ephrata Cloister, Susquehanna River and much more.

For families: we have a pack-n-play with mattress included, high chair, books/toys and stroller available for guest use. Older kids (and adults) will love the foosball table and large screen TVs in the rec room!

Take advantage of our one-of-a-kind setting: we have two bikes for guests to explore Lancaster's winding farm roads and rolling hills, a private rustic trail through the woods along the river to one of Lancaster County's famous covered bridges, or you can walk from the house across the Amish farm path to see cows and horses. Evenings are great for enjoying complimentary s'mores or relaxing in the hammock by our riverside fire pit.

Have kayaks or canoes to bring along? There's a wonderful 90-minute paddle route that leaves from the house, passing two covered bridges, an eagle's nest and beautiful farms and homes.

Above all, this is a place to unwind, disconnect and recharge as you explore the sights of Lancaster County.

Wonderful welcoming hosts with a spectacular river front location. Upon our arrival, the house was beautifully decorated for the holidays. Set amid Amish farms, accessed via a true covered bridge but just off a major highway, this is the perfect Lancaster vacation spot!

The property was well maintained, beautifully kept, very thoughtful put together. The caretaker took clear pride in setting up personalized touches, a beautifully handwritten sweet card with personalized message, chalk board welcome, extras provided (s'mores for fire pit, pastry gift, extra blankets, towels, pillows, etc). It was very evident that the place is cared for with much love and pride, and we were welcomed guests.

What a gem! We are so glad we found this property. The entire home was absolutely spotless. The hosts made us feel right at home, and added a few hostess treats that were really appreciated! The home is well stocked and there is lots of interesting decor to appreciate. We really enjoyed the new deck and the beautiful scenery. The window seat (with gorgeous river views) was a favorite hangout during our stay. We can’t wait to return to Eagles Branch again in the future!
Stunning!

Peaceful Riverside Stay

This house was everything we were looking for for a cozy, quiet place to stay for three nights and visit Lancaster. The home was spacious and comfortable, and we loved hanging out at the fire pit at night. The host left some extra special touches which really made our stay more memorable!

Quiet, Comfy and Relaxing

Everything about this rental was perfect. The property managers took extra care to ensure they left out age appropriate toys for the children in our group, which were highly enjoyed all week long. The location is perfectly nestled between Amish farmland and a peaceful river. Unfortunately the rainy weather we had did not allow us to enjoy the beautiful deck overlooking the river as much as we would have liked. Check in was a breeze and the house was very welcoming. The beds were also very comfortable! The handwritten note and fresh baked goods waiting for us upon check in were the perfect, welcoming touch. We would definitely stay here again.

It was a beautiful and peaceful place to stay. They made us feel so welcome. The house was so comfortable and had everything and more than we needed. There was a sweet note and sticky bread to welcome us. We enjoyed everything about our stay. There were instructions throughout the house which made things easy for us. This included a book of the surrounding areas and places to visit. This was out 1st time on vacation in Pennsylvania and we loved it. We will be back! The managers are super sweet people. Thank you for letting us stay here. We just wish it had been longer. The description is exactly how it was.

Had a wonderful stay at a picturesque house in the middle of Amish country. Highly recommend this house for anyone stay in the area. House was very clean and provided all the amenities anyone could need. Very scenic as it sits adjacent to the river. Big bonus was the eagles that soared overhead!

The home is warm and inviting

My husband, neice and her daughter and I had a wonderful stay at this home. The purpose of the trip was to see Noah at the Sight and Sound Theater. In addition the play being amazing, we had a lovely place to return to and enjoy! The response of the property manager (husband and wife team that live next door) was incredible! We will definitely return in the future.

Weekend getaway

Our family loved staying here! We would like to stay during warmer weather to really enjoy the outdoor seating area. It was frigid the weekend we visited. Although it was a cold weekend the cabin was so cozy and relaxing. All the amenities were just right and the owners were very kind. Highly recommend staying here.

lodging for a family wedding

We had a wonderful time at the Eagle's Nest! We needed a place to stay that was close to the wedding venue, and this place was conveniently located, far away from any traffic congestion and it was very cozy. We loved the picturesque location along the river, and my husband and I hiked the river walk and saw both eagles and herons. The Christmas decor was cute and there were a lot of homey touches that we really appreciated. It was a great place to relax and reconnect with family that we don't see too often, and we all agreed it would be a great place to return to in the future.

Bird in Hand cabin

This place was amazing. The owner of this property sure knew how to make us feel so comfortable! Beautiful and inviting. Everything was furnished beyond any expectations. Upon arriving as we walked into the home, was a lovely handwritten note along with some fresh baked goods. Plenty of notes and information about the area. The home was sparkling clean, beautifully furnished and the river and area were so calming and relaxing. Thank you for a wonderful stay. I most highly recommend!

My husband is from the area and we were looking for a weekend getaway spot to unwind and recharge. We've found the perfect place!

Why they chose this property

There aren't many homes on the river and you can feel yourself relax as soon as you turn onto the private gravel lane. The deck overlooking the rapids is our favorite place to spend a lazy morning. We love being in the heart of Lancaster County and surrounded by Amish farms.
