About this property

The Carriage House- A Non-Toxic, Peaceful Retreat

  • Welcome to The Carriage House - a very unique, NON-TOXIC, extra large 1-bedroom suite located above our three-car garage in a stunning rural area with plenty of outdoor space. Perfectly situated near many popular venues and Lancaster attractions with a quiet, peaceful feel. We, the hosts, live in the main house but respect your privacy. Whether you're in town for business, vacation, touring the area, or just need a relaxing retreat, we know you’ll enjoy this charming place!

    One thing that truly sets this space apart is our commitment to a squeaky clean, natural, toxin-free environment. We intentionally avoid synthetic fragrances and harsh chemicals throughout the suite. You'll sleep on high-quality cotton sheets, enjoy non-toxic soaps and shampoo, and even our dishwasher detergent and cleaning supplies are non-toxic and fragrance-free.

    We also provide organic coffee, filtered well water, and we do not use harmful chemicals for pest control or cleaning. Everything is carefully chosen to keep the space as natural and healthy as possible, making this a rare and wonderful stay for guests who value clean living, sensitive environments, or who may be allergic to chemical fragrances or harsh products.

    Fully equipped with all essential amenities including complimentary WiFi and washer & dryer, this space boasts an airy, sun-filled living area. You’ll also find a modern, fully-equipped kitchen, and a spacious, comfortable bedroom, several dining areas along with a large open living area featuring a 58” adjustable TV.

    As you step inside this gorgeous space, you'll find 12' ceilings, a skylight in the living area, and large dormers that provide ample natural light and create a cozy, luxurious feel.

    In the bedroom you'll find a full bedroom set with a KING BED, along with a pullout sofa bed in the living area featuring a comfy memory foam mattress.
    The high-quality reverse osmosis water filter makes the water taste great.

    There are many nearby attractions including the Susquehanna River, which features a beautiful biking and walking trail connecting quaint river towns, plus rock climbing and boat rentals.

    Spooky Nook Sports, Sight & Sound Theatre, and many other Lancaster County attractions are nearby, including unique Amish experiences and countless great restaurants!

    Check out the digital guidebook on my profile for even more great restaurants and things to see and do!

    Don’t forget to utilize the fire pit and experience a peaceful night under the stars while roasting marshmallows and enjoying s’mores!
    (Wood and fire starter provided)

    The fence is there for your privacy only, but don't feel limited to its boundaries. Feel free to stroll the rest of the property and woods. Kids are welcome to use the swingset as well. But be aware that the fence that borders our yard is an electric fence(it contains our neighbors’ animals.)

    Please note, dogs and other pets are welcome, with a $125 fee per trip.

    Be aware that you may experience Love, Joy and Peace in this secluded setting.

Peaceful Escape

This property was everything our family needed. 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!

Great place to stay!

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!

Cute and Comfortable

Anna and Ben were great hosts. 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.

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!
