Wonderful Weekend
We really enjoyed our weekend at the property. There was a small issue with our code not working on the door when we arrived, but this was quickly resolved by the property manager and later on, the property owner dropped by to ensure we were settling in okay and to personally apologize for the inconvenience. We really enjoyed the personal touches and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice, quiet property with great amenities and responsive management.

Sight and Sound Trip
The house was a great place and was very convenient to Sight and Sound and local shopping areas. We enjoyed our stay immensely! The only reason I am giving 4 stars for the accuracy of the online listing is that the house was attached to another house and the address on the listing isn’t for this property, it is for the house next door.

GIRLS GET AWAY RETREAT
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay at the Esh Country Guesthouse. We were welcomed by some delicious homemade whoppie pies. Thank you Verna. This was the perfect place. It is close to many attractions, farms... one up the road called Breezy Valley Farm where we found fresh veggies, free range eggs, fresh yogurt, milk, smoothies and really yummy fiber balls. There are many shops, and restaurants to choose from. The home lacked nothing. It was super clean and very spacious. It is right on a main road, so you can hear vehicles passing by, however; I personally had no problems with that because I found my bed to be very comfy and I had a great night sleep. Verna was quick to respond to any questions I had and helpful in many ways. I can't wait to visit again with a larger group and enjoy the outdoor area, which we didn't get to use this time around.

Nice comfortable home and welcoming host! There was plenty of space for my family to spend time together, but also plenty of space for each of us to retreat to our own rooms when desired. The property was clean and well-supplied. Everything was as described in the listing. Our host was very welcoming and communicative. We would stay again!

Lovely, relaxing home away from home. Very nice owners.
This guest house was perfect and had everything that my family needed!! It was spotless and had all the conveniences of home. All of my family slept great on the comfortable beds. They have lots of supplies stocked and ready to use. We loved coming home after our daily adventures and relaxing. It was great to be able to sit out on the porch in the morning or evening and see the horse and buggies pass by. The owners were great and very friendly, nice people. The homemade shoofly whoopie pies were so good!! If your looking for a home away from home while visiting the Lancaster, Amish Country area you have to check this place out, you won't be dissapointed.

Family vacation
We had a great stay! The house had everything we needed! We had 11 people in our family with plenty of room to spread out but also come together as a family in the evenings. My son especially loved being able to play in the front yard and the back yard. Being able to say hello to the horse Texas was a big bonus. We will definitely be back again!

Perfect Lancaster Rental
This is our second stay with the Esh family. The rental is super convenient and close to everything Lancaster has to offer. We arrived to an incredibly clean house - everything is well thought out, stocked and ready to enjoy. The horses and backyard activities are always a highlight of our trip. We enjoyed our time with the Esh family and even had some special treats delivered mid week by their in-laws who were most welcoming and kind. This is truly a wonderful vacation home - we look forward to returning next year.

Great stay
We had a fabulous time staying at the Esh Guesthouse. The home was very clean and well-equipped for our 6 adults and 6 children. The beds were some of the most comfortable we've slept on. Our grandchildren said they enjoyed playing in the yard behind the garage, playing games around the big family table and feeding the pony Mason. Check-in and check-out were smooth and easy. Verna was super responsive to any inquiries, and we enjoyed meeting John, Elmer & Leena as well. If you're looking for a place to stay, be sure to consider the Esh guesthouse.
