Quick visit
This home and property is beautiful. The home is so comfortable and the gardens were so pretty. Unfortunately it was very rainy so we didn’t get much of a chance to experience them. The host was very communicative and very accommodating. We look forward to staying here again on our next trip

We loved the house, and the neighborhood was very quiet. The house was decorated with a beachside theme. Very cute! Backyard was awesome. Loved the fish pond! We couldn’t have asked for a nicer visit!

Great Cottage!
This was our 2nd time staying here. We are from Pa and still have family that live in the area so this was a perfect spot location wise. It is a very comfortable and quaint cottage and is fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxing stay. We will book this each year for sure!

The Cottage was all that it said and more
This place had everything I could think of, the outdoor space is amazing, lots of plants and animals. We saw 3 baby bunnies, a nest with 2 babies. We sat out every morning with coffee and after dark the grounds had solar lights and a gas fire. It was beautiful. We were in town for the Carlisle Ford Nationals, I am not a car enthusiast but this place made my time so enjoyable. I loved it and hope to go back with the dog and grandbaby!!

Lovely Cottage
Really lovely house with an amazing garden space. The kitchen was fully stocked and the beds were comfortable. The house had a very homey feel and was a great space to wind down at the end of the day. Great location made for easy trips to Harrisburg, Hershey, Gettysburg, and Lancaster. Really appreciated the house being dog friendly, they also enjoyed their vacation.

Cute "cottage"
We Love the cottage! This was our 2nd stay. Kathy definitely makes this home feel warm & welcoming. You need to bring nothing with you when you come to visit. The beautiful yard is the selling point for us. The dog feels right at home,especially with the doggie door.

2nd time visiting
This is our 2nd time staying at this location. It has a cozy quaint feeling yet is large enough to host a family dinner when we are in town. The basement area and bathroom were redone since our last visit and it looked very nice! The sitting area off of the dining room really makes you feel like this home has 3 living rooms! The neighbors beside this property have a few dogs and they were so friendly and curious as were our dogs. Hope to stay again when we come back in town for a visit!
