The property is clean, comfy and well maintained. We enjoyed relaxing on the nice deck. It had everything you would need. Communication with the owner was great. The delicious scones and snacks were a nice added touch. It is on a busy road, but still in a quiet neighborhood.
My friends and I stayed here for one night while visiting a friend in the area. The location is great as it is close to many small towns with things to do and places to see. The house was exceptionally clean, organized, and well stocked. Parking was a little "tricky" as the house sits close to the road on a hillside, but there was plenty of room to park our SUV and take our luggage in and out of the house. I would highly recommend this home for your next vacation or get-away.
What an incredibly lovely place with so many comfortable furnishings and special treats. Listen for the clip clop of the Amish buggies that frequent the road just outside the front door or watch the serene beauty of the sunrise on the back porch. Close to the city but far enough away to enjoy the countryside. I would have stayed longer if it was possible and will definitely look forward to going back.
Very good communication with the owner. Great perks..coffee, fresh bakery sweet rolls and candy jar! Best goodies that have ever been supplied in a rental house. Super clean. On a fairly busy road but was fine if carful.

The home was very beautiful. We enjoyed our stay. Location was great. Would recommend this place to stay while visiting PA.
This was one of the best VRBO places I've ever been in. Immaculately clean, exactly as the pictures. No crazy rules, just the normal ones, there was parking right there. My only thing I thought about was, if you were going to stay a week or more, there isn't laundry facilities. That was it. The bathrooms were updated, very nice kitchen, all the amenities. Good linens, I was very very satisified.
My family is working through a health crisis with one of my siblings. We traveled from NY to PA for one night on a holiday (totally blessed by this scheduling flexibility) to visit Longwood Gardens and Sight and Sound. When we walked into this house to see God's word everywhere and no tv's, our hearts were deeply touched. Thank you, RuthAnn!! God is using you in huge ways!! Praise Him :)

A very comfortable place to lay our heads after a busy week of traveling and very good location. Wish we would have had more time to enjoy the well thought out home.
This met all of our needs and wants. Everything was well thought out and nicecities like the snacks were a bonus. The only down side was being right on the road, but it was still quiet and peaceful.
