Family rental in a unique Bavarian village on the edge of Lancaster County

The Handel Haus, our 3 bedroom vacation rental, is situated along the main plaza of Stoudtburg Village, a small Bavarian village, in Northern Lancaster County, PA. The charm and uniqueness you will find in this quaint little old world village will keep you coming back, time and time again. The main part of Stoudtburg village features homes with quaint little shops below and living area on the second and third floor. Throughout the village you will find a wonderful coffee shop, Knick knack shops, jewelry store, yoga studio, German restaurant and much more. 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. The dining room also has a small standing balcony that looks out over the main plaza. The kitchen is equipped with all your cooking needs. This is a great space for holiday getaway in beautiful Lancaster, Pa.

The third floor has two bedrooms, a bathroom and an additional sitting area with a flat screen T.V. The bedrooms on the third floor feature two twin beds and a queen size bed. This space is what makes is wonderful for families, the kids can camp out on the 3rd floor while the adults enjoy time together on the main floor.

Please note that these homes do have a bunch of stairs. The living quarters are located on the second and third floor, but the laundry room is located downstairs in the basement.

*Please note in detailed description of rate quote, the "host fee" on your end is called the cleaning fee on our end. This fee comes from our housekeepers, what they charge to clean the home after you check out, it is their living wage, not a fee we collect for the owners.

Thanks!
Great place! Don’t mind the many creaks; she just has a lot to say! Lots of steps too so just be aware if that’s not your thing. We had a great time and it was perfect for us. Super clean and conveniently located to all the places we wanted to visit (Shady Maple, Lancaster, Reading, Strasberg Railroad).

Loved the Village concept
Visited area to shop antique and thrift stores. Loved the atmosphere in this quaint "village" right out of Europe. We had dinner at the Village Haus, which was only a 150 ft walk! We felt right at home in the townhome which offers everything you need. Will definitely return!

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!

Enjoyed the 4th of July with the family.
Was a wonderful place to stay and also available so close the our family. It was clean and so quiet, we were able to enjoy the restaurant and local shops at our leisure. So close to many larger cities to explore. Will seek to stay here again. Thank you

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 .

Quaint
Quaint village. Very much a Bavarian Village. The Octoberfest was outstanding. Many food and drink options. Great entertainment. I hope they continue this event and add others as well. The house overall was very spacious. I do feel the living room furniture needs updating. Plenty of room in the whole house. Great for multiple people. Would be nice to add some outside chairs and benches to sit in along the front in the village square. Overall, I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a nice quiet place to enjoy family and friend time. I will consider this exact home in the future.

En Gudi un Friedlichi Zeit! (A good and peaceful time!)
I had an excellent time at the Handel Haus. A very peaceful little place that overlooks the village square, giving the best view in the whole village--there's also a neat little balcony you can stand from to take it all in! And if you want to get a bite to eat, you are only seconds away from The Village Haus which is only right across the square. I spent most of my lunches and dinners there and is quite affordable. Nighttime is especially peaceful. The whole square is lit up with lights hanging across from the other houses as well as the old town lamps that are on the frontside of each house. The village is perfectly safe all times of the day and inhabited by very kind people! If you enjoy the simple village-life experience, you'll have a great time here! The inside of the house is rather dated and the floors are easy to creak, but charming and warm nonetheless! All sheets, blankets, and towels are perfectly clean, but I noticed that it gets really dusty under the beds. Also, do keep in mind that the last time I was there, the iron was broken; so do be sure to bring your own just in case it hasn't been replaced yet. I would certainly come back!

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.

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.
