Met the property owner (Steve) who gave us a quick rundown of our stay. He was very caring and wanted our stay to be great! Wow is the building beautiful and grounds kept very well! It felt like we were aristocrats for a few days. The building is very old but modernized while keeping the character of the house. Steve had the piano tuned for me and I was able to learn a little bit of Chopin no.9 during my stay. During the stay we ended up using the amazing kitchen and having a nice dinner there as well! If I’m in the area again, this’ll be the first place I look. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/1d03d3da-3b57-4937-a2dd-4b81ea3d5563-1749752495195.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/563cf3d1-daed-4c9e-a5bf-19070eebc465-1749752562111.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/ad93a12d-626d-4679-8005-f45d7821ed13-1749752560417.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/33eb7bc2-bb1f-4533-bee3-3dd8c7e1e088-1749752540031.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Aaron Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### maureen a m.

The rest of the house is restored historic and just beautiful. The beds are very comfortable. You have plenty of room where groups can meet, but also places where you can be alone without others bothering you. The bathrooms are modern except for one with a claw foot tub, but the rest of the room is updated too. This is just a wonderful place to stay. ##### Cecelia S.

We had fun seeing all the antiques the house holds as well as all the beautiful furniture and nice rooms. The bathrooms are spacious but require a close nit group as the master bathroom is a walkthrough with two doors. The TV room and kitchen are comfy. The beds are too! The living and dining rooms are elegant and the grounds pretty! Our host was great and his scones are really good! Excellent recommendations including using Railroad House Inn for my birthday dinner for our 15 guests! Highly recommend- if you don’t mind steps- bathrooms on second floor. ##### Linette K.

This property was restored beautifully by the owner, but with all the modern conveniences one could want (air conditioning, stainless steel appliances, waterfall shower to name a few). We stayed for the proximity to a wedding, and enjoyed a relaxing vacation for the weekend. The description of the property is completely accurate, and as an added bonus, bird feeders in front of the kitchen windows provide private views of many birds each morning while you enjoy freshly ground coffee! The owner is outstanding with communication, and leaves detailed information upon check in. As other reviewers have said, so long as you don't have mobility limitations (due to both bathrooms being on the 2nd floor), this property is just amazing. ##### Jen D.

It is spectacularly clean—pristine—and well maintained. Our stay included a lot of nice touches, such as an interesting set of cookbooks, and a delicious tray of local pastries. The musicianship in our family came out, via the grand piano and classical guitar made available to guests. It is a gorgeous house in which to play music. Communication with Steve was easy and amicable. We appreciated his meeting us at the house and giving us a thorough tour. ##### Dan Stayed 2 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cigdem B.

Kitchen and one of the bathroom is renovated, this is perfect detail for us, but still we feel like 1800s. There is a secret passage way in kitchen to upstairs.it was exciting and backyard is wonderful. Perfect house for family pictures. Also it’s closed to Lapp valley farm and Dutch wonderland. I want to share that, first time my kids got very big toys with playing games. Picking duckies(even 3 years old can do that:), playing basketball. This machines are not cheating, it was surprising. My kids had so much fun at this trip. ##### Cigdem B.

I absolutely loved the home, as I am a fan of all things antique and historical. The house is absolutely stunning!! Perfect for adults without physical limitations and older teens. May not be a good fit for adults with physical limitations and young children. The home does require the frequent use of stairs as both bathrooms are on the 2nd floor and one bathroom may have to be accessed from the second set of stairs in the back of the home. Otherwise, the home was perfect for 2 families of 3 people with comfortable beds and and wonderfully large kitchen and dining areas and beautifully meticulous outdoor areas. Just loved it and hope to visit again! ##### Lorie B. Stayed 3 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stacy S. Jan 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lives up to the reviews! Amazing location for us visiting family in the area--we were 1.5hr from a wedding in Phila, less than 30 minutes to our beloved former home, Hershey, and 25 minutes from our York County family. The home was spacious and beautifully modernized while still maintaining innumerable historic charms. I always hesitate to stay in older homes--I'm not generally a fan of victorian style and it's so hard to keep them clean. But this home is the PERFECT BALANCE of historical appeal and modern amenities and unbelievably clean for its style and age! The beds were comfortable and the very well stocked kitchen (with a real coffee grinder!) and cozy living room were wonderful spots to spend family time together. There was even a LIVE Christmas tree (not artificial!)--this tremendous effort alone demonstrated for us the genuine care put into hosting guests in this home. Minutes walk to Chickies Ridge to hike and run along the river was great. Communication from Steve was also perfect--completely accessible without being at all overbearing or intrusive. You can just tell by the care of the home that its restoration has been a labor of love for him and we are so grateful he shared this with our family! We hope to stay again! Thank you, Steve! ##### Stacy S. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### George N. Jun 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy ##### George N.

His property was beautiful. For a house built in 1860 , he has taken great care to make it very accommodating. ##### Rick M. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jodi M.

If you want a memorable, awe-inspiring place to stay while on vacation-this is your place! We just left and I already want to go back. This historic, restored mansion is like no place we have ever stayed. It is obvious that much time and energy have been spent to create the ambiance that permeates throughout this home. The furniture, paintings, decor, flooring and windows were chosen/restored with love. My curiosity was peaked at every corner. Antiques were mixed with modern comforts to make this stay my favorite so far. Have I mentioned that there were lots of history/trinkets of Lancaster County placed throughout the home to read and discover? Stephen, our host, greeted us upon arrival and was extremely responsive to any questions we had throughout our stay. The chocolate chip muffins and coffee beans were a lovely arrival gift. I could go on…I’m so pleased! The only thing to know ahead of time is that there are no bathrooms on the first floor-just for planning purposes depending on who you’re traveling with. I would highly recommended this property and will hopefully be able to stay again on my next trip back to Lancaster County. ##### Heather G.

He greeted us when we arrived (saving us from getting lost!) and was available for any tips and reco’s. The house is huge and beautiful. So much history. The house is immaculately clean and well stocked. It was the perfect weekend getaway. Cannot wait to return. ##### Christine O.
