Not to mentions the abundance of antique shops and flea markets surrounding the village.

The Handel Haus is a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom vacation rental. Most houses located in the Bavarian Village feature a shop on the lower level and living quarters on the 2nd and 3rd floor. As you enter our home you will be directed up the stairs to the main living quarters. The master bedroom has a king size bed and in suite bathroom with both bathtub and shower. The 2nd floor also features the living room with gas-log fireplace and flat screen T.V. The dining room boasts a table for 4 with some extra boards in case more room is needed.

Perfect weekend retreat
We had a family wedding at the nearby iron spire facility. This was a great location for our family. 3 large bedrooms and a well stocked kitchen. The village has some cute stores and restaurants. You will hear a bit of noise from the shop downstairs during normal business hours. Also there is live music outside on weekend but ones a done by 10:00. Would stay again if in the area .

Girls weekend away!
It was the perfect meeting spot for old friends who live far apart, and needed a place to simply enjoy each other’s company. It was the perfect amount of space to be together and have some personal space. Having beautiful areas to sit, walk, and shop and live music, right outside your door was the icing on the cake!

Perfect location for wedding at Ironspire
It was wonderful to be able to walk to the wedding venue. The size of the property is great. Communication was very good with host. Nice to have the pub/German beer place right across the square. Parking was super easy. We think the decor could definitely use a refresh. Some footrests were ripped and paint needed touching up. Perhaps a refresh on the linens would be a good idea too. Would also be a good idea to have signs on the downstairs doors as it does get a bit confusing. The host listed this on notes but signs would be helpful. Not a big deal though.

Great house!
Stoudtburg Village is just about the cutest place that we have stayed. It is a quiet village with a bonus of shops around the village, and across the road that we walked to. The house itself was perfect for our needs and had everything that we needed in the kitchen. We have stayed at other houses within VRBO and others and have had to go out to buy some of the items that we needed, we didn't have to do that here. My only drawback was that the upstairs bathroom needed some updates, but was still usable without a problem for our long weekend. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.

Comfortable stay for wrestling tournament
We needed a place to fit our family of 6 for a wrestling tournament in downtown Reading. We were about 18 minutes away on an easy drive. The place was perfect for our family and had everything. With half days of wrestling this gave us a great place to unwind and spread out at costs similar to the hotels closer to town. The village was very cool to walk around and extremely safe. If we find ourselves needing a place to stay in this area, we will be back!

Good place for a Pennsylvania adventure
Enjoyed the stay and amenities, we had a rainy and windy weekend which led the Handle Haus sign to bang against the front of the building all night. Couldn’t get the fireplace to light. Other than those setbacks, it was great.

Cute Bavarian style village
This neighborhood is so adorable ! Walking around outside made you deal like you were in another country. From the most adorable houses to the extremely well manicured lawns, courtyards, shops etc, the German restaurant had live music outside Friday night that you could hang out by the fountain or enjoy from your apartment. What a hidden gem !

Rare Gem of a Location
The property and the area around it looked surreal. I felt like I was in a storybook or traveled back in time. The location gave us convenient access to Lancaster, various farmer’s markets, antique stores, and thrift stores. There are plenty of pamphlets provided to help you plan a trip if you haven’t beforehand. Also, make sure you receive a second e-mail (not from VRBO, but from the host) that will help you check-in a couple of days before. I didn’t receive anything and thought I would get it right at my check in time, which I found out was not the case. I don’t blame the host since this was a technical error and not intentional. Just message the host if you don’t get one to prevent checking in delays. Pros about the property: • Plenty of appliances and supplies provided. • Spacious home in a safe neighborhood. • Beautifully decorated. • Nice kitchen that’s well ventilated. • Beautiful view of the surrounding area. • Plenty of beds. I went with my elderly parents and aunts, and the set up was perfect where we each had our own beds. • Pamphlets of attractions and nearby restaurants provided. • Host was easy to reach and communicate with when needed. • Amazing bathroom in the master bedroom. Cons about the property: • Plumbing issues with the upstairs shower. It wasn’t frequent, but there were times it just would stop draining the water properly for a few minutes. It always ended up resolving itself so we didn’t have too much of an issue.

The unit itself was quite nice. The surrounding village was quiet through the week. On the Friday we were there, the restaurant across the courtyard had live music outdoors that was entertaining.

Best Bachelorette Ever!
Cutest location ever! I loved that it had a garage, so convenient, and the 2nd parking space was as well! Plus, if there were more the parking lot is not a far walk at all! The house was beautiful! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and I know that all the other girls did too! Couple tips, the washer sounds like a space ship taking off, so I would not run it at night, if you use both showers at the same time the water pressure gets reduced quite a bit, the TVs are great, but not Smart TVs, so if you want to stream then bring your Roku or HDMI with a laptop, the bottom towel bar in the Master Bathroom is very loose and will fall off if pressure is put on it, but easy to put back up, the house is old and creaky, so if other guests with you keep that in mind! The air conditioning and heat were great and easy to use, the kitchen is amazing (the pantry is huge, and has some much needed supplies, and the fridge has water/ice features), and the living room was a great size, plus the dining room table was perfect, and had comfortable seating, and finally there is a whole bunch of phamplets in the living room under the TV for local things, and a folder on the TV stand bottom shelf with more local resources 😀

Beautifully clean stay in a quaint area!
The Handel Haus is located in a village specifically built to be like a village in Germany. The architecture is cute and the village is quiet. The unit itself was super clean with plenty of room for parents on the main floor with bedrooms and separate bath for kids above. Loved the location, but be aware that the shops inside the village are only open on Friday, Saturday, Sunday this time of year. The restaurant in the village is also closed on Monday and Tuesday. The large antique malls are only open on Saturday or Sunday so check hours carefully. There are other shops (recommend thrift store across the street) and small restaurants nearby, particularly recommend the Park Place Diner for breakfast, The Riveria for dinner and the Beringer’s ice cream in Adamstown. Overall, a great stay.
