Relaxing Vacation

The Old Summer House was a perfect spot for a getaway with all the comforts of home. It’s conveniently located to lots of things to see and do but away from the busyness of every day life. The farm it’s located on is beautiful and serene and the house is clean and well maintained. We would definitely stay there again if we’re in the area.

Peaceful

Our son got married at the wedding venue on the property. This space was wonderful to have as we navigated the days leading up to the wedding and during. Loved the quiet mornings on the property. Flowers are beautiful. Hosts are gracious and went above and beyond. Highly recommend for a regular stay or while having a wedding event. If mobility challenged, be aware that stairs are a little steep to the upstairs bedroom. There is a first floor small bathroom and shower that can be accessed upon request and a twin bed in the main room to sleep in if needed.

A Little Bit of Heaven, A Whole Lot from Our Lord God

We had a heavenly time with our Bible Study at this tidy, exceedingly kept little piece of Heaven. Our hosts cared about us as people, not just "monetary income". They, as we do love the Lord, and are giving some of themselves back to the Lord by offering this Ole Summer House to visitors. God even gave me a special time, by "a nearby" attending to a God filled Mennonite wedding adding to the beautiful place to "get away" for a few days!

Great location!

Such a cozy place to stay, surrounded by beautiful scenery. The location has a barn wedding venue, two weddings took place during our stay, but did not interefere with our stay at all! Far enough from cities, but close enough to travel if wanted.

Great Secluded Family Get-Away!

This guest house is fantastic! My family (2 seniors with their 2 adult sons) reserved the guest house over Labor Day weekend, and we absolutely loved it. Far enough back from the main roads that we sidnt have to worry about traffic noise and such, but close enough to all the major attractions that it didn't feel like a chore to go do fun things. The house was clean, well stocked, and very comfortable for 4 adults. The owner was very gracious, even though we accidentally broke a piece of the kitchen equipment.(sorry again!).

Cozy place to stay on a beautiful farm

We were in Lancaster Co. to visit with family and needed a place to stay so we booked a two night stay at the guest house. It was a great experience and would highly recommend it. It is off the road a little distance on a beautiful farm and very peaceful. Thank you, Grant

Very pleasant stay

This is a modernized wing of the house. It had a fascinating old stove/oven and some beam construction upstairs. We were visiting friends in the area and needed a place to stay. The is a quiet, wonderful place on a farm. The host Grant was attentive and helpful. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again. I appreciated the upstairs hand-held shower head. We loved the full sized refrigerator that made our haul from Shady Maple Market easy to store. The first floor is accessible to those with problems with stairs with a 3/4 bath available to use.
