About this property

Rosey’s Guest House-a beautiful townhome in Lititz with tons of space and style!

Voted the coolest small town in the US (we will still be claiming this title 'til world without end), Lititz is the perfect place to hang your hat for a quaint getaway. This stylish and comfortable home dates back to the early 1900s, and is thoughtfully designed, shipshape clean, and within walking distance to many Lititz attractions. Centrally located to lots of Lancaster area hot spots (Spooky Nook, Hershey, Lancaster, etc). Visit with Albus and Neville, our resident goats, and enjoy your coffee on the spacious patio.

Lititz was once voted the coolest small town in the US (have I mentioned that already?); once you've visited, we think you'll understand why. Not only is it the perfect intersection of traditional bucolic wholesomeness and hipster indy coffee shops with skinny jeaned-baristas (wait— maybe this isn’t a thing anymore??), it is the unlikely hot bed of the live entertainment scene and the internationally acclaimed Rock Lititz campus. So what does that mean for you? 1. You can lay in bed and hear Amish buggies going by late on Sunday nights 2. You can sip an organic soy bean vanilla mocha half caf with a quintuple shot garnished with chia seeds and freshly ground flax while sitting outside of a fair trade, local bean-roasting, shiplap'ed/subway tiled coffee shop 3. and you might see Katy Perry walk by while doing so. I mean, I'm not making any promises, but do you really want to risk missing this opportunity by not booking with us?

I don't want to start any rumors (yes I do), but we may or may not have hosted some of the talent rehearsing at the nearby Rock Lititz campus. So staying here pretty much makes you famous by association. I'd like your autograph please. In our guest book. :)

Perfect for families, a girlfriend trip, scrapbooking weekend, clown convention, "I need to hide from my kids for 48 hours" getaway, or a couple on a weekend vineyard tour to gorgeous Lancaster County, Rosey’s is a carefully curated space designed to make you feel comfortable and at home. The house is named for Rosey’s Ice Cream, the Rosenberg family's contribution to Lititz's early foodie scene, which was housed on the property from the 1920’s until the 1980’s. We are within sidewalk walking distance (1 mile or less) to Lititz’s downtown attractions--including ice cream shops, and for the sake of upholding the Rosenberg legacy, you should definitely make a stop. If you happen to be strolling downtown on a Saturday, you might notice Rosey's Lunch Wagon, which is a distant cousin of the original Rosey's Ice Cream Home Delivery Service (Think Amazon Fresh, 1945 style.)

We have a fully equipped kitchen, including a Keurig (K-cups provided), french press, burr grinder, and Chemex; listen- we don't mess when it comes to coffee. Bases covered. High chair/pack and play available upon request- we love little ones, and welcome them wholeheartedly. Full laundry available, as well as laundry necessities (detergent, iron, etc).

On the first floor, you will find the dining room, kitchen (with breakfast nook), full bathroom/laundry room, mud room and living room. The living room has an armoire with a flat screen TV with cable, a DVD player and small collection of DVDS, and a growing collection of games. Catch up on some reading by grabbing a book from our growing library in the dining room. Enjoy your coffee on the front porch, grill outside on the patio in the side yard, or roast marshmallows under the stars (fire pit, outdoor furniture, gas grill available seasonally). Our resident Nigerian Dwarf goats are named Albus and Neville, and they love carrots and raisins and being scratched behind their ears while you whisper sweet nothings to them. Listen—goats, humans... at the end of the day, we all just want to be appreciated and for someone to think we’re special.

On the second floor you will find 3 bedrooms, one with a king size bed, one with a full size bed, and one with two twin beds. This twin bedroom has doors for privacy, but it is a walkthrough to the 3rd floor bedroom; this means that if someone's sleeping in the 3rd floor bedroom and they need to pee in the middle of the night, they will be walking through this room to get to the bathroom- so be forewarned if you sleep nudey :). We provide pre-stamped post cards, so be sure to send some Lititz love to your friends and family. The 3rd floor bedroom boasts 4 adorable twin sized beds, as well as some fun items for the little humans in your life. Each bedroom has a sound machine, and a relaxing pillow mist spray, because we know it's sometimes hard to get to sleep when you are away from home.

This home is semidetached (very common in this area, and sometimes called a duplex or a townhouse), but we do not live in the other half of the house. However, we are just around the corner and can be available quickly for any needs you may have. We'd love to meet you only if you want to be met; otherwise we won't be all up in your biz. Unless you're making something good for dinner, in which case, let's be best friends.

Every single one of you is welcome in this home, regardless of your race, religion, orientation, gender, or political views. We just ask that you be respectful of the property and of the neighbors. We'd really prefer to keep them from having to call the cops on you. :)

Rosey's is a true gem

This listing is one of the best VRBOs we have ever visited. We were in town to get married and were traveling with our 4 daughters and family from Panama. Every detail was considered and curated to provide a comfortable, relaxed, whimsical stay for our entire family. It was the perfect place to relax and regroup during a busy wedding weekend. Very impressed!

Gem in Lititz!

This lovingly restored home was warm and inviting. My husband and I stayed with our two sons and a friend. There was plenty of space and the owner thinks of all the details to make the stay comfortable. The coffee bar had a great variety with honey, flavorings and all the works. We were welcomed with a nice note and Wilbur buds. The house is in easy walking distance to downtown Lititz with great shopping and restaurants. The pet goats next door are the stars of the neighborhood and made the stay extra fun We will definitely stay again when we are back in Lititz!

Melody and Chris were amazing hosts. When walked in there were delicious chocolate chip cookies and a bag of local chocolates waiting for us. The house was clean and stocked with everything we needed or forgot. There was a guest book that explained the history of the house and details for restaurants, shopping and adventures to try. We have been visiting the Lancaster area for over 20 years and this home was very accomodating. We highly recommend this home. thlLancaster PA area for over 20 years.

Perfect spot for a Lititz weekend!

Rosey's Guest House was the perfect place for our annual Sister's weekend. The house is beautifully decorated with a lot of seasonal touches. There are so many extras that make this house special - a welcome package (Thanks!), personal bath items in case you forgot something, snacks, coffee and tea set ups. We loved sitting around the fire pit and relaxing on the front porch, visiting the goats. And the location was great too, the walk into downtown was very scenic and provided just enough exercise. Melody and Chris were very quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone travelling to Lititz. Thanks for a great weekend!

Perfect getaway!!

This was our 2nd time staying here, and it has been perfect both times!! The hosts are spectacular, and have seen to every little detail. The house is immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. The fire pit outside is an added bonus. The location is quiet and peaceful, but within driving or walking distance to nearby restaurants, shops, and attractions. We would stay here anytime we are traveling to the area.

Great location for a family wanting to explore Lititz

Very clean and well equipped house; just ten minutes walk to visit family in nearby Luther Acres, which was ideal for us. Melody was very helpful and responsive in sorting out a few problems for us, during our stay. We'd definitely want to stay again!

Something for everyone

We had lived in Lititz in the past, and booked this stay for a return to see the old sites. This was the best VRBO we have experienced--kids agreed too. So many little thoughtful and personal touches. The kids didn't ask to watch TV and spent time outside with the playhouse and goats. The sleeping arrangements are very accommodating. The kids loved the attic room, which was nicely cool with AC even in June. Almost wished we had brought friends.

The Rosey’s Return

The Rosenberg crew, who once called this home, came together for a weekend to reminisce and relax. The home is still full of love and happiness, due to the attention and care given it by the gracious hosts/owners. They have created such a beautiful space that blends all the modern comforts, and nostalgia of the past. If you are going to Lititz, stay at Rosey’s Guest House. You will be delighted!

Charming farmhouse in a charming town

We loved our stay at this quaint farmhouse perfectly located very near the restaurants and boutiques of Lititz. The house was warm and comfortable equipped with everything we needed. If you have little ones, they will love the playhouse and attic space, with toys and books. Our favorite part of course, were the sweet goats. I hope we have reason to be in the area again so we can return.

Great spot to stay in Lititz

Property was exactly as described, communication was great with the owners. It's almost a mile from the center of town so it's walkable plus Lititz has plentiful parking if you want to drive. My family and I enjoyed the July 4th parade and fireworks, actually best fireworks we've seen, and the town itself is the great blend of small town feel with restaurants, bars etc. This was our second trip and when we come back again we will likely want to rent this place again

Rosey's Guest house

Chris and Melody were easy to communicate with and answered all our questions or concerns in a quick manner. House was clean, well stocked and about 45 minutes away from Hershey Park. Our boys loved the house and can't wait to go back again next year. They enjoyed playing the games they left and seeing the goats which was something they don't get to see everyday. Boys definitely want to stay there again and no place else. Thank You!!
