Lovely Home
My girlfriends and I have been going away together for 30 years and somewhere different each year. We take turns finding a place to stay and I exceeded all expectations this year. We all agreed that Fontinalis is the best place we stayed. Cecilia and Dan were great at communicating and left us a basket of snacks. The kitchen was well stocked with spices and condiments, coffee, tea and everything we needed. The house is gorgeous and the grounds fun to explore. Everything was perfect! Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at this property. It was a great place to relax for the day as well as a great home base for day trips to Hershey Park and Gettysburg. Lovely houses all around too. Thanks for a relaxing trip!

Hard to imagine ...
... a nicer stay or place. Clean and comfortable, a 200 year old (or more) manor house steeped in history and place. The general area is rolling forested hills and country roads, heavily corn-planted and heavily Amish. Though we might never have left the property and been content, we did get out see a few sights during our three day stay: Tiny Newville, 6 or 7 minutes away (Theo's Diner for breakfast), Carlisle, where we ate at Cafe Bruge and watched the annual corvette parade (hundreds, old and new), a 20 minute drive from Fontinalis, and South Mountain (at the suggestion of Dan and Cecilia), with its beautiful lakes (a great sandy beach on one of them) and nature paths, a very restful and attractive destination not more than 15 minutes away. The simplist pleasure was simply walk down the hill from Fontinalis to a renown trout stream, where we waded in freezing cold water in proximity to several Amish families doing the same (a tractor pulling a half a dozen multi-colored plastic wagons was busy taking them to and from the stream). At one point an old Mennonite couple in a car that had seen better days came puttering along and stopped in the middle of the road to greet our three year olds. I will say that three days is NOT enough time to enjoy Fontinalis itself, the immediate surrounds or the Cumberland Valley. And remember, ... Gettysburg is just a 30 minute drive south. And the house a nice little sound system and ... a Roberta Flack CD! Thanks D and C.

10 STARS!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about this stay. The hosts were amazing, the house was gorgeous and the detail and thought they put into this gem is impeccable. I have to say this is my favorite Vrbo home ever. We had 8 people comfortably and they even accommodated an extra bed for my 11year old granddaughter. The house was perfect! Beautifully stocked and furnished like a museum. The location again, was perfect in between Hershey Park and Gettysburg. We had ages 11 to 66 and there were no issues at all! If I could give 10 stars I would! Thank you Dan and Cecelia for allowing us to stay at your beautiful home!

Perfect place to relax
We had a wonderful time staying the Fontinalis home. It was well stocked with everything we could need! The welcome basket was perfect for the next morning after our long drive to PA. We started our mornings slow with coffee on the quiet back deck and finished the evenings watching fireflies around the fire. We were looking for something centrally located to DC, Hershey Park, and a few battlefields and this hit the spot. Would definitely recommend!

The perfect spot for a Cumberland Valley getaway
Fontinalis was truly a delightful discovery for us, and Cecilia and Dan are wonderful hosts. My family and I have been attending car shows in Carlisle for years, and the property is conveniently located between Carlisle and Shippensburg, as well as being close to the quaint town of Newville. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet with beautiful surroundings. The house is wonderfully preserved, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was our favorite - fully stocked and a great space to cook and hang out. The outdoor patio and landscaping are very nice. There is also plenty of parking on the property with easy access. If you enjoy historic places and architecture, Fontinalis is the perfect choice and a great nostalgic setting to unwind from our busy lives, and enjoy the beauty, history and culture of Cumberland Valley.

Unique and wonderful location
My whole family really enjoyed this stay. The house is so unique, with so much history you can feel staying there. I am familiar with the area and love the location. You are not far from any amenities you need but tucked away in a truly beautiful spot to enjoy nature. The house and yard offer such a comfortable stay. The owners have really thought of everything and take such good care of the property and guests. I didn't realize the Amish were close enough that we could listen to the horse-drawn carriages "drive" by. I very highly recommend and hope to stay again down the road. Thank you!
