September 2025

This was our 2nd stay at this little cottage in Manheim and it was even better than the first time. The owners went out of their way to make our stay extra special including delicious baked treats and fresh fruit in the refrigerator. All of our needs were anticipated with a fully stocked kitchen, condiments, spices, cookware, etc as well as shampoos and soaps in the bathrooms. The cottage is in close proximity to many Lancaster County attractions which is why we love staying there. It's quiet and peaceful with a charming deck for cool, relaxing evenings. We would highly recommend staying here and we will definitely be back (again)!

We truly enjoyed our stay. The owners were so kind and welcoming. The personal touches just elevated the experience. Any amenities were at our fingertips. While we were in the country, it was a quick drive to a store or restaurant.

The cottage is simply wonderful. The location is perfect, close to many local attractions. It’s great for a long weekend getaway, but we wished we were able to stay longer! We visited the Lancaster area, Hershey, including Chocolate World, the zoo & gardens (butterfly emporium), Eastland Alpacas, Kreider Farms, the local flea market and several great local restaurants. The beautiful property has a small creek, 2 goats & chickens. The cottage itself is incredibly welcoming. It has an amazing covered front porch with rocking chairs, perfect for relaxing, & reading while listening to the sounds of the creek. All of the decor is very tastefully done and the cottage is sparkling clean. The beds are super comfy, & the kitchen has everything one would need. There is a nice furnished deck in the backyard with a grill that we used a few times for dinners. The owner, Jody, helped to make our stay very memorable with her kindness, recommendations, & all of her attention to detail. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in PA. Our 9 year old remarked that it was his favorite vacation, and we’d have to agree! We’ve traveled many places and this cottage is truly a gem.
