Best Sleep Ever
Where to begin? The views from this home were spectacular, even with a little rain. It was so very peaceful and quiet. The beds were absolutely the most comfortable beds we have ever slept on. The rooms were a perfect fit for our group of 9. We will definitely be booking this home again when we return to Lancaster.

Lovely home. Restful setting. Felt safe and clean. True to pictures. Lots of space for catching up with friends. Be sure to read the checkout requests because we almost missed them. These are simple and reasonable tasks, but I almost didn’t see them. A friend in my group noticed, thankfully.. :)

Wonderfully pleasant stay.
House is locationed in a beautiful setting with lots of surrounding land. The inside is immaculately clean, and includes a lot of updated accents that add to the appeal. The ping pong table, fire pit, basketball court were a blast. Kitchen had everything you need. Host was wonderful, helpful, and communicated strategically at various time to ensure we were doing well. I highly recommend.

Great family house for Thanksgiving
We had family gather from various places for a relaxing and beautiful Thanksgiving. The house was very comfortable and the location was pastoral and idyllic. Close drive to interesting places in Amish country when we wanted to do something. But the house is great for just hanging out with family. Janine was great to deal with - prompt, helpful, and friendly. The house even had a Christmas tree for us. Overall, A+ experience for our family.

Great place, best location
Spent a long weekend at Magnolia Cottage with our kids and grandkids. The house was exactly as pictured! The kitchen was well stocked, lots of room for everyone. Kids enjoyed the ping pong table and huge TV downstairs. All the beds were very comfortable. The best part was the location! The surrounding farmland was pretty and peaceful. We watched the sunrise on the wraparound porch. Close to many attractions( we visited Hershey Park, Corn Cob Acres, Lancaster Market, creamery) and numerous restaurants. We would absolutely rent out this place again!

The house was picture perfect… and perfect for 10 people. We had plenty of room to sleep, eat and bathe.. the basement was a bonus we didn’t realize we had… the teenagers loved hanging out down there and watching movie. The parents loved it cause we got to get away from the kids for a while! If we play in PA next year we book again

Enjoying the views.
My family decided to make a change. Instead of going to the Poconos for a long weekend, we decided to try a house close to Lancaster and Hershey. There are so many nearby activities but we were enjoying being together in the house that we actually stayed on the property all weekend. The activities that we would have done, we have done many times in the past, so enjoying the beautiful house was the best. So nice and roomy and the views are so breath taking. We had a great time by the fire pit. The bedrooms are roomy and the beds are very comfortable. Having access to the garages really was helpful for loading and unloading. We highly recommend this beautiful property.

Perfect, Relaxing Holiday Home
We just returned from an absolutely wonderful three days at Magnolia Cottage. Everything about this home was spectacular: spacious, clean, impeccably decorated, comfy beds, gorgeous views, abundance of cooking tools, you name it. It was the most peaceful retreat for six family members (grandparent, children, grandchildren) as we gathered for the holidays. The farm setting was idyllic but it was a short drive to downtown Lancaster, and not far from Hershey. We were all from out of town and had fun exploring the area! The owner’s care and attention to the Cottage and its guests was apparent at every turn. We highly recommend this home to others and we’d love to stay again!

Relaxing Holiday Weekend
Stayed here with 2 other families (5 other adults and 4 children) for Thanksgiving. The home was spacious and comfortable. We had plenty of room to hang out together but also plenty of room to spread out. Kitchen was well-equipped for a holiday meal. The kids loved the ping pong table in the basement though we were surprised that it was otherwise unfurnished! Overall, would both return as well as recommend! Thanks for a lovely stay!

Fall Getaway Family of Ten!
The property was as great if not better than advertised. Perfect location for privacy, plenty of space inside & out for 10 people to play, yet, close enough to all events for daily day trips. The home was very clean, well stocked kitchen, bath and laudry,, and the beds were very comfortable. Plently of outside space on this acre property to play games and we did, kickball, wiffle ball, tag, hide and seek, basket ball, football, etc. The outdoor fire pit was a great location for reflecting our long days. There is also plently of livingroom and dining table seating. Bottom line is this home had everything a family of 10 (5 Adults / 5 Kids) could need for our 5 day stay. Janine the host touched base several times throughout our stay to ensure we had everything we needed, very nice touch. We'll definitely keep this home on our radar for our next family vacation to Lancaster, PA.

Perfect weekend at Magnolia Cottage!
Our group loved our stay at Magnolia Cottage! We hosted a joint bachelor/bachelorette party between close family and friends. We came to the Lancaster area for the Sickmans Mill river float and the house was just a quick 20 min Uber ride away. The house was clean, spacious, and perfect for our large group. We spent most of our stay outside as the weather and surroundings were beautiful! We loved playing games in the yard, basketball, and sitting around the fire each evening. We also purchased and grilled burger patties from the farm and they were delicious. Janine was wonderful and extremely responsive from the moment we booked and throughout our stay. We would highly recommend this VRBO and can’t thank Janine enough for the hospitality.
