Great stay!

This was a great location. The property was wonderful and close to everything. We were there for a basketball tournament at Spooky Nook , but made some other awesome discoveries like the Grocery Bargain Outlet, Primanti Brothers, etc., Would highly recommend!

Beautiful loft

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful loft. No linens or blankets were provided for the daybed, so keep in mind if intending to use the daybed. Otherwise everything else was good and as described. Would stay again.

Tiny getaway

This house is perfect for a stay in Lancaster. On the edge of the city near the river. Very cute, quiet and quaint. The back porch is beautiful and very quiet in the evening. Perfect place for someone who is busy and has a lot to do in Lancaster.

Clean, very nice interior. Easy check in process. I liked having the iron and the Keurig! Bed was comfy too. Only thing is communication - I sent a message right after check in to clarify about a second parking spot and never got a response, so I just parked in the road. Didn’t end up being a problem. Would come again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely loft apartment. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable, and felt just like home. The neighborhood was quiet, and the tree-lined street was just beautiful. Our host, Gideon, very accurately described everything, and was always quick to answer any questions. We would definitely recommend this apartment to anyone who enjoys a quiet, relaxing place, close to many activities and restaurants, but far enough away from the busy city to be able to totally unwind and rest. The only suggestion we have is to possibly put a number on the garage side. All in all, we both say it's been our favorite place to stay. Thanks, Gideon

Spooky Nook Tournament stay

The location and accommodations were perfect for my daughter and I. It's about a 15 minute drive for tournament goers to Spooky Nook. Loved that the stairs to the entrance were lit! It can be hard to find stays when we arrive late at night. This was such a great help, not only for unloading but also giving us confidence that we were in the place. The hosts were excellent with great communication. Thank you.

Weekend Birthday Getaway

My husband and I always plan a weekend getaway for my birthday. This was our first time visiting Lancaster, PA and we wanted something that was both close to downtown, but not right in the heart of it. This Loft was the perfect location. Only a 6 minutes drive to downtown Lancaster. The loft was very clean and cozy. It was really everything we needed for the couple of days we were staying. My only critique is that we were only given two towels and one washcloth for the two of us. And we were staying in January, so the nights did get a little chilly. A few extra blankets would have been nice to have on hand. But other than that, we really enjoyed our stay.
