Great place close to anything you'd like to do downtown. We even met one of the neighbors out walking her dog who was very friendly and recommended the little bar and grill on the corner for some dinner on the day we arrived. The house was very clean and comfortable and the only drawback would be if you have trouble with steps. All bedrooms and the bathroom are on the 2nd floor so if steps are an issue this might not be the best choice. Overall this place was very convenient and a lovely little place to stay.

Nice place

Pleasant stay. 3rd floor loft was very warm even with ac running but that's the inherent nature of old houses. Kitchen was very nice, living room was comfortable. 6 year old has nice stay in room with bunk beds, 70 year old grandfather comfortable in 2nd floor main bedroom. Sent a message to host via Vrbo app Wednesday before a Saturday stay and host did not respond at all. Parking is located behind house in Fulton St. Was advised of parking location prior to arrival and was fine once we found it, but would suggest using a Fulton St gps address if you leave property and return later so you don't need to circle block.

Convenient and cute

The property was conveniently located in historic downtown Lancaster. Walking distance to several restaurants and shops. And it was nice to have our own designated parking space. Just know this property does have stairs. That was not a problem for us though. Everything was neat and clean. Would definitely stay here again. The only little issue we had was when we got there, it took us several tries to get the little combination lock box open to get the house key out. Tried calling the owner twice with no response. Finally got it open but not before starting to panic a little. But after that, everything was great.

Lots of character, comfortable

Looks just like the photos! Really clean and adorable! This house, just like all the others in the area, is older with lots of little quirks. PROS: Quaint & quiet Convenient parking off street Beds and pillows were very comfortable Loved the bedding Comfortable seating in living area The luggage racks in each room were wonderful Beautiful original wood floors Shower is nice and tall Walking distance to everything Information available for area attractions CONS: Walkway in the back is very uneven Interior stairs are narrow, steep and uneven Floors creak and slope Tub is quite sloped Most interior doors have been converted into sliding barn doors - there is now a large gap below each door Air conditioner is very helpful on the 3rd floor, but the 2nd floor can be a bit warm in the summer if the blinds are left open during the day. Kitchen is really lacking in cookware/bakeware and serving utensils. Not much pantry/cupboard storage at all No dishwasher Fan in the master suite runs backwards and shifts back and forth, giving it a murderous vibe Ceilings on the 3rd floor are sloped and a little difficult to navigate as an adult Electric plugs in the bedrooms are far away from the beds Overall, a wonderful stay! Would definitely recommend!

Sisters' mini getaway. This place fit our needs for our time in the Lancaster area. We spent our days going to Sight & Sound (Noah), Longwood Gardens & Valley Forge. We enjoyed our evenings sitting around the dining room table playing board games & visiting. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Really convenient location to SO many things and great having parking right behind the house. Communication with the host was prompt. Not a complaint, but just information for future visitors: the stairs to the bedroom on the third floor are very narrow and steep. This is not a bedroom I would utilize for young children or older people. The house is right down the block from a park/playground which was great for us being there with young kids. We also walked to the central market and the library (great kids play area). Lancaster Brewing Co is also walkable. An upgrade for the future would just be having extra paper towels and trash bags readily available. Upon check-in there was about half a roll of paper towels left and we couldn’t find any others. We resorted to just using napkins to wipe down the kitchen each day. We also couldn’t find any extra trash bags.

House was small. The upper bedroom was too warm and bed was uncomfortable.

No measuring cups. No normal size spoons to eat with. Not a comfortable stay. Next door grass was very high.

We had an excellent stay at Mary Jo’s place in Lancaster. She’s an amazing and incredibly helpful host who made us feel very welcome. One of the biggest perks was having our own parking spot, super convenient and made things so much easier.The home itself has a lot of charm, but it’s definitely very old. The stairs are steep and the spaces can be quite narrow, so I wouldn’t recommend it for families with small children or anyone with mobility issues. Also, keep in mind that there’s just one bathroom, so I’d hesitate to bring more than four people.Overall, though, it was a great experience and a lovely place to stay!

Great location and home for friends to get together

I booked this place for my friend and I to get together and have a girls weekend. It was perfect for us. We parked our cars Friday night & walked to dinner at Lancaster Brewing that night. And then into downtown Saturday for shopping and drinks. We walked to dinner top.

Perfect location

This property is in the perfect location. We walked to a grocery store, restaurant, and could have walked to the center market but we were concerned we would buy too much to carry. The off street parking was a huge plus. The owners were super easy to reach. We would rent from this homeowner again.
