About this property

Experience staying in a 200+ year old stone house on a 44 acre farm with a rippling creek to unwind beside. A short walk across an historical stone bridge will take you to the famous Green Dragon Farmers Market (open Fridays) where you will experience many different cultures all together at one place.
1.2 miles from Ephrata Cloister. Legend has it that a family who went to the Ephrata Cloister Church was the first to settle on this property.
Located across the street from the Green Dragon Farmers Market, and 14 miles from Sight and Sound Theatre.
This house was built many years ago when they often made the steps to the stairs short and steep. This house is no exception. If you have trouble with steep stairs this may not be the most practical place for you.
Some furniture may be different than shown in photo.

Amazing experience

I stayed here with my family (husband and three kids - 5,3, 1.5yr old) and it was absolutely perfect. We arrived late the first night and our hostess was so gracious to set up the pack and play before our arrival. The family and their children were so friendly and it was the perfect balance of alone time and getting personal introductions to puppies, sheep and their steer. It was an amazing stay and I think my kids will remember the time spent on the farm more than the Dutch Wonderland part of the trip! It was wonderful and would love to go back!! 10/10

Immaculate and lovely stone house. It is one of the most beautiful and peaceful settings. Love being at a working farm. The old cottage has been wonderfully updated, keeping the charm. Very kind and attentive owners. Will definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Tonya Hoover

Our family of 7 lives in an old farmhouse a few feet from the guest house. We would enjoy having you come for a stay at the guest house. Welcome!

Why they chose this property

Come enjoy a peek back in time as you explore the old buildings on our 44 acre farm. An old tobacco barn, corn crib shed, and bank barn. There is a pasture and a creek to enjoy. Many fun hours have been spent there. You're welcome to enjoy it also but at your own risk.

What makes this property unique

Come relax and enjoy watching sheep grazing in the pasture, chickens pecking for food, listen to the birds chirping and many more sights and sounds. If you're outdoors sitting on the rocker you may even have a friendly cat come and curl up on your lap if you allow her to.
Bikes, a kayak and canoes are also available for your use (at your own risk). Come and enjoy nature in a private setting!
