Fabric Shopping Getaway
RuthAnn's home was the perfect retreat at the end of a day of fabric shopping for my friend and I. The house was clean and beds were comfortable. The back deck was the perfect place to discuss our fabric purchases, look over patterns, talk about the day and make plans for the next. We hope to return to Paradise Cottage next year!

Awesome place to be ln paradise
The paradise College three bedroom very, very clean. The hospitality of Ruth was awesome. The location beside the road was a little iffy. Traffic was heavy. The location was excellent to any area you wanted to go to. I would not hesitate to recommend us to anybody in the United States? Thank you very much. Hopefully we will see you again

A wonderful and comfortable home. The picture window gave us views of the beautiful horse and buggies passing by. The location was perfect for our visit to Sight & Sound Theatre as well as to to wolf sanctuary and trip into the town of Lititz and dinner on the train. So much to do and enjoy.

The cottage was lovely and so well appointed. The freshly baked cookies were a wonderful treat. All the communication with RuthAnn was great. There's no TV, but that didn't bother us. We played a few hands of cards and had some nice family time.

Convenient location, close to everything. Home was clean and well stocked with extras such as kcups, snacks soaps and shampoos. Would definitely stay here again!
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.
