You won't want to leave
This was a great place to stay overlooking the Susquehanna! Brian and his mom were wonderful to work with, and I so appreciated them sharing some of their knowledge of Pequea with me. I loved watching the eagles in the trees right next to the house and the ever-changing clouds and light on the river! My favorite hiking trail is up the street. I enjoyed the trains going by, too. It was all together a relaxing and enjoyable weekend and I hope to go back soon!

Such an amazing short stay here at the Lake house! Beautiful property, Eagles right above the deck, short walking distance to conestoga trail to get some hiking in, sat by the lake for hours and don’t miss out on the sunsets! Feeling a nice reset after this stay, thank you!

Clean beautiful house with an amazing view
The house was very clean, there was minimal decorations which was great for our crawling infant. The view was spectacular, the train tracks were great for my boys however quiet enough in the house that you couldn’t even notice when they were passing. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back another time

About the host

Hosted by Brian Ament

Host profile image
I am always rejuvenated when I'm here at the river. I get a feeling of tranquility seeing the eagles and other wildlife in the area. I love being able to just jump on my boat ( any excuse is a good one ) and take a ride on the water. Let me tell you about the Safe Harbor Indian Petrogylphs and the local history and botany.

Why they chose this property

If you like getting away from it all, need to unwind or great place to play ~~ you found it!
The best area for boating, from waterskiing to kayaking, or fishing. We are close enough if want to have a nice dinner & show. The Fulton Opera House, the American Music Theater, Sight & Sound and several movie theaters are only 1/2 hour drive. If you are new to the area, come discover Amish Country, antiquing in Columbia or experiencing the clock and watch museum.

What makes this property unique

The Lake's tranquility and all the other things it has to offer may be the reason why the Indians chose to live here. Check out Indian Steps Museum, The Conestoga Historical Society, Canal Lock 12, Tucquan Glenn Nature Preserve , relax ~~ fish, boat or hike.
