About this property

*Thanksgiving Available |Lakes, Waterfall, Basketball Court: Family Getaway

Tucked into the rolling hills of Amish country, the newly-constructed Middlehaven offers an escape from the city and a chance to connect with the folks who matter most.

YOUR LARGE GROUP (& FIDO) ARE WELCOMED HERE
Middlehaven has room for everyone including:
✔️The Main House (sleeps 15)
✔️The Loft Apartment (sleeps 6- addition cost $200/night)
✔️The Conservatory (sleeps 2- additional cost $150/night)

For groups of 15 or less, The Main House offers 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, giving you ample space to spread out comfortably in English Cottage-style accommodations.

Middlehaven’s private, woodland ponds offer the chance to cool off in the summer heat. Practice your kayaking skills and splash away the afternoon in one of the two available ponds.

MiddleHaven - A True Gem for Celebrations!
Our family had an unforgettable time celebrating a 40th birthday at Middlehaven. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for creating lasting memories. We enjoyed playing games, indulging in delicious food, and admiring the thoughtful gifts left by our wonderful host. The attention to detail made all the difference! We can't wait to return to this fantastic Vrbo for future celebrations and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable gathering with loved ones. Thank you, Middlehaven, for making our special occasion even more extraordinary!

Great Classmates Friendsgiving Getaway
Great location and place for our 6 adult couples to stay for a long weekend and celebrate 35yrs of friendship with a big Friendsgiving meal. The fully stocked kitchen, large table, 5 bedrooms, pullout couch and 4 bathrooms provided all the space we needed to not only enjoy time together but also allowed us space to spread out as well. We also took advantage of the firepit, hot tub, BB court and gaming systems…fun for all!! We loved the place and appreciated the attention to details and quick responses Rose and Brian provided. If concerned with stairs this may not be the place for you but if looking for a clean, spacious and entertaining place to stay we highly recommend it; you get what you pay for and more!!

Beyond Expectations!
Our family of 23 had an exceptional stay at Middlehaven. The space was immaculately clean, well decorated, and incredibly comfortable. The host went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed, from local recommendations to thoughtful little touches in the living area and around the property. The location was perfect— quiet, yet close to everything we may need. We could not have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

Wedding Weekend
Middlehaven is immaculate and taken care of by excellent hosts in Brian & Rose. There were no problems throughout our wedding weekend and it was a huge relief to know we were in good hands. I’d list the amenities but I can just say there is everything you could need for a stay at Middlehaven and they have very thoughtfully put everything together.

Unbelievably Amazing
What an amazing experience this was from booking through the end of our trip (and beyond!). The host (Rose) was very responsive, shared great information about the house and area ahead of time and was patient with changes we needed to make to our group after booking - the administrative part of the trip could not have been easier!! The grounds are gorgeous - wooded with 2 treated ponds and an outdoor lighted basketball court. The ponds have everything you need to use them - kayaks, standup paddle board, life jackets, floats, toys, abundant beach towels and 12 Adirondak chairs around a firepit right by the ponds. The pictures show the various spaces but don't fully capture how roomy everything is! We had 23 people and never felt cramped, even when we were all in the same space. The bedrooms were spacious with very comfy beds. We added on the loft which provided a perfect space for the one part of our family with younger children. Rose thought of every detail - plenty of towels, extra sheets and blankets, a stocked kitchen (we really appreciated the spice cabinet when we realized we forgot taco seasoning!), and so much entertainment!!! She also saved the day when I saw the stash of marshmallow roasting poles and realized I'd forgotten mine! The area was perfect - we made most of our meals in-house but ordered from Penso's (LOVED it!), visited a winery and brewery and even the revolutionary war fort nearby. We will definitely be booking another stay here!!!

Perfect Family Fun
We wanted to find a house that my whole family could stay in together while I was in town from Atlanta. I have stayed in quite a few VRBO homes and have never seen one as well stocked as this house. The communication and attention to detail from the owner was above and beyond. The house was extremely clean. The kids enjoyed the game room, the basketball hoop, the swimming hole, and the kayaks. Everyone enjoyed sitting out on the decks, the firepit, the hot tub, and being able to spend time together in such a beautiful home.

Eclipse Family Reunion both 2 long between
The property was amazing. We were able to have a multi-generational reunion on a property set in the wooded, rolling hills country side while being close to everything. All the spaces; gathering, recreational and sleeping were wonderful and kept everyone engaged while reconnecting. The host continually checked in from reservation to check out to make sure we were connected and comfortable.

Fantastic Property!
Middlehaven was even better in person than the pictures portrayed. The house is large, beautiful, and filled with unique touches. The personal attention to detail is like nothing we’ve ever experienced. Rose is a dream to work with! There’s enough space for everyone to spread out whether it’s hanging out in the game room, sitting on one of two outdoor decks, relaxing in the family room, or playing games at the large kitchen table. The hot tub, fire pit and outdoor ponds were fabulous! If you’re hesitating, don’t! Just book it!
