Great for extended family
We had a lovely visit with my parents, kids, aunt and uncle. The house was cozy and clean and big enough for 11 of us to spread out, even though we spent most of our time visiting in the large kitchen around the table. It was the perfect setting for our after-Christmas family trip to sight and sound theater. Thank you for the delicious gingerbread cookies. Highly recommend this home to large families. We would love to come visit again next year!

Family Christmas in Amish Country
We were a family of ten: grandparents, parents, and children who chose this house as our place to celebrate Christmas a few days after the holiday itself. The location is great, convenient to attractions in Lancaster County. The house is spacious and well kept. We were given a warm welcome, which included some home-made treats left for us on our arrival. We appreciate that all of the linens are supplied and we did not need to wash them before our departure. We would seriously consider booking this house again for another holiday gathering. Thank you to our VRBO hosts!

Absolutely Perfect
We come to Lancaster for Sight and Sound every year. We’ve stayed a few places, but this was by far the best. The location was conveniently located near restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and the theater. It was exceptionally clean. The beds were impressively comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with supplies and some basic pantry items. The rooms were spacious. Lastly, the hospitality was unmatched. We enjoyed getting to know the owners’ parents who live next door as well. They are some of the sweetest people you’ll meet. When we come back next year, we plan to stay here if it’s available.

WONDERFUL STAY!!
This was a wonderful experience for us. The house was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and made you feel like you were coming home whenever arriving back after an outing. The cookies were AMAZING , and those along with the welcoming note were an added joy to this place. Definitely will be looking to book in the future.
This is one of the best properties I've ever stayed in. The owner John and his parents were so obliging. They left us delicious whoopie pies and were so available to help us when we first arrived. The house is large, clean, and comfortable. Wr loved sitting around the dining table chatting and just enjoying our time together. Will definitely be back if I can.

Annual Siblings Getaway
We’re a family of 5 siblings. One brother and five sisters. Ages 59-75. This year we chose Lancaster as our two night getaway (siblings only) and fell in love with this beautiful house! The cleanest rental we have ever experienced, well organized and every necessity you can think of is provided! Not to mention a delicious baked good waiting for us! The location was ideal and the home was utterly perfect for the 5 of us. Lots of memories, laughs and love were shared and we will be back next year as we’ve found a gem!

Absolutely perfect Lancaster home!
We absolutely loved our stay in this home. Every single detail was carefully thought out and there was nothing that we could have wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed the spacious house, huge backyard, seeing the horses and getting to meet the owner's parents. The house was immaculately clean and decorated with so many special touches, including the delicious woopie pies. The owners/property manager replied to messages extremely fast. We look forward to staying again on our next trip to the area and will definitely recommend to others.

Perfection !!!
If I could give them a 100 star rating, I would. This was the perfect stay yet. We have rented from a lot of vacation rentals and this past stay was our best ever. The hosts, who I consider friends now, were just so friendly and sweet. The location is perfect as it's out of the village but within 1 mile so it's close by the Kitchen Kettle. The home had everything you can think of for a vacation rental so you can pack a bag and just enjoy your stay. So nice and clean. They have thought of it all for a vacation rental. It has a large livingroom and diningroom for gathering as well as the back yard. The beds were all super comfortable and spotless. We had a group of 5 family members ranging ages 50-90 and we all enjoyed our own room. I can't praise this stay enough. The people, the house, the location and the fun we had were spot on. Thank you again to Mr. and Mrs. Esh for making our stay so pleasant and we look forward to seeing you again.

We really enjoyed our weekend at the property. There was a small issue with our code not working on the door when we arrived, but this was quickly resolved by the property manager and later on, the property owner dropped by to ensure we were settling in okay and to personally apologize for the inconvenience. We really enjoyed the personal touches and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice, quiet property with great amenities and responsive management.
