We stayed at 417 Lancaster for my son’s basketball tourney. Myself, my son and three team mates. The house was cool. The egg air conditioning works fabulous. It was very comfortable and inviting.

Great location on quieter street near F&M

This 3-story row house is on a one-way narrow city street, which kept traffic to a minimum and made for a relatively quiet location. Some great restaurants, taverns, and microbreweries are close by, and Central Market and other downtown locations are within easy walking distance. It's an older row house in the city, so there's some occasional traffic noise, but it's generally quiet with access to street parking. The house worked well for our group of 6 people, with each couple having its own bedroom. Just about everything in the house worked as expected. It had a large dining table, which made for a nice gathering location and work area. (Since 4 members of our group were working remotely during the day, that was important.) With the wi-fi, they could work and take calls at different locations in the house. The appliances are new, and the kitchen had everything we needed, although we didn't cook a lot. If you're planning to cook all of your meals there, you might find that you could use another pot or some kitchen gadget that might be useful, but we got along fine with what was provided. Being near F&M college made for some nice neighborhood walks and jogs on the college track. I was able to walk to a local restaurant/brewery and meet friends for lunch. Our host checked in with us and was very responsive. She dropped off a bath mat and helped us with parking, which was much appreciated. We plan to return during our next visit to Lancaster.

Fantastic experience!

My friends and I loved this VRBO property! It was incredibly clean, beautifully decorated, and cozy/relaxing. A fabulous location within a short walk to many attractions in Lancaster city. The property owner was lovely to work with and provided all the amenities! I’d recommend this home to anyone!

Beautiful Historic Townhome, WONDERFUL Managers!!

A friend and I stayed here for a girls' weekend, and we could not have been more pleased with the property. Every need was anticipated, and the property manager even reached out to help arrange a parking permit for the weekend. Absolutely wonderful experience!!

Great rental!

Very clean and comfortable property in a nice location. Everything was up to date and felt exceptionally clean. The beds were very comfortable and the property was as described. We were in walking distance of restaurants and ice cream shop with very easy access to downtown area. You cannot park directly in front of the property during the week without a permit, but there was easy to find parking at the end of the block. It was not a problem to park for unloading our things and then find a spot for the car overnight. Would highly recommend this property if the bed and bedroom configurations meet your needs.
