Girls Weekend
Peque We arrived around 6:30pm. It was pitch dark. We opened the front door and were very impressed by the cleanliness of the property. We were immediately met by a stale mothball scent. We had a startling realization that we couldn’t open the windows. The owner had removed all of the handles to crank the windows open. He told us this himself. It gave an overwhelming feeling of being trap with no fresh air. I can’t imagine this is not a safety violation. Within 15 minutes of arrival there was a loud knock at our door. The owner told us we needed to move our cars out of the driveway, so he could get his car out of the garage. We were directed to move a car to the one parking space in-front of the house. The other car was to be parked in the ‘overflow’, which was 100 feet down the dark road with no light or sidewalk. We needed to walk on the dark winding road. When we went upstairs, we were shocked by the more than 7 inch step up to get into the bathroom. It was a real safety concern. The sectional couch was a fantastic place for a cozy evening of laughter and fun. In the morning, it was an incredibly peaceful view from the master bed! They played down the fact that the railroad tracks were about 75 feet off the back of the house between the house and the lake with freight trains that ran at night and are closer than the over flow parking. Overall, you can’t keep a girls weekend down, but we will not be back.

Such an amazing short stay here at the Lake house! Beautiful property, Eagles right above the deck, short walking distance to conestoga trail to get some hiking in, sat by the lake for hours and don’t miss out on the sunsets! Feeling a nice reset after this stay, thank you!

Perfect Family Getaway
Amazing views!! Perfect break for fishing and tubing. The weather was beautiful, we had a few storms that rolled in that added to the beauty of where we were. The train never bothered us and just added to this special property. The owners are nearby so that was comforting. 10/10

Clean beautiful house with an amazing view
The house was very clean, there was minimal decorations which was great for our crawling infant. The view was spectacular, the train tracks were great for my boys however quiet enough in the house that you couldn’t even notice when they were passing. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back another time

College friends reuniting after 23 years - great property to reconnect! We sat by the river, explored the wildflower preserve, cooked together and laughed so much. Thank you for sharing your beautiful property with three middle aged women who needed this time!

Enjoyed a short getaway at the lake house. Beautiful views and great location. House was clean, well equipped and good, prompt communication with owners. Sunsets, the lake, birds, including a pair of bald eagles, along with dozens of butterflies enjoying the gardens provided welcomed entertainment.

Absolutely gorgeous view/scenery, extremely clean, very comfortable. Enjoyed the welcome wine and Pellegrino! One parking space adjacent to house. While there was overflow parking just down the street, would have at least liked 2 parking spaces right at the home.

Nice getaway
My boys and I had such a nice time escaping to this beautiful area. Even with rainy weather it was serene and an enjoyable trip. The train took a bit to get used to as it ran on an evening and overnight schedule while we were there, but was not a total disruption. Easy drive to explore the state park and Lancaster.
