It was obvious the hosts have spent lots of time decorating and ensuring you have everything you need for a home away from home. The backyard had a private fire pit and beautiful patio lights that just gave it such an elevated feel. The hosts were kind and communicated well with us. We would surely stay here again! ##### Kayla S.

We stayed here for 7 nights for the Christmas holiday while we were in town visiting family. The apartment was everything we needed and expected it to be. The hosts were lovely and very easy to communicate with even over the holidays. The apartment was clean, tidy and had everything we needed. It was 10 mins from our family’s house so the perfect location for us. Check in and out was a breeze and she even had homemade cookies waiting for us when we arrived! I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you! ##### Melanie P.

It's a perfect size for a couple and beautifully decorated. It had all the amenities that we needed. A full size kitchen with plenty of work space. Easy access to a washer and dryer and a really nice fire pit area. It was an easy drive to Gettysburg and Lancaster. Columbia, Mount Joy and Marietta were close by for food and hiking. If we come back to the area we will stay here again. ##### Deb F. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Abigail N. 16 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Romantic, private and spacious This was the perfect place for our honeymoon. The host was very kind and I had told her this was our honeymoon and was communicating with her because I wanted to verify there were several things in place for us. As a special courtesy, the host allowed my sister to drop off some food and put it in the fridge before we checked in for the night, before the wedding, so that way it'd be cold and we wouldn't have to go out the next day for milk. The host also decorated with a few romantic decorations and also left us a cute note and a couple homemade cookies. This was a quiet and private place. If we had wanted to we could have used the firepit outside. The host's property has some beautiful neighboring properties too. The area is out in the countryside so we really liked that setting. The only limitation as far as setting is that the road doesn't have a walkway/ side walk for two to walk side by side because it's in the country, so you'd have to go to a park if you want to go for a walk together because the visibility along the road is not so good. We had no issues with internet and we used the TV for pluto TV and netflix. All the furniture was super nice and cozy. We used the fridge, microwave, and dishwasher and they had filtered cold water. There were all the things there if you wanted to cook and nice glasses and mugs and plates. There is no bathtub but the shower was spacious and clean and had shampoo/conditioner / body wash for us. We would definitively stay again! ##### Abigail N.
