The space
Solid bones from the 1800's, this unique Airbnb recalls the days when the local Railroad Master used to man this house over 200 years ago.
Travelers bought their tickets and found interim lodging here, while waiting for the train to arrive two centuries ago.
With vision and gusto we have restored it to it's rightful era with pops of mid-century modern and whimsical.
We designed this space to be the perfect getaway for those wanting a creative retreat - something out of the ordinary while being recharged with family.

Please note: there is one first floor bedroom & bathroom, but the rest are located on the second and third floors of the home.
A large dining room offers seating for 10+ for hosting workshops or eating Holiday dinners with friends and family.

The beautiful and large completely white 1st Floor Bedroom is perfect for photo-shoots and restful sleep.

The second floor has a children's play area, a Master bedroom & bathroom, and an additional bedroom and third bathroom.

The Attic suite features a comfy king bed, plus two single beds & a private seating area with a live edge wet bar by the staircase.

The home features lots of open spaces, a gas Living Room Fireplace, opened beamed ceilings, unique lighting, and restored, exposed original stone interior walls.
The integrated details of Historic and modern amenities and lighting are sure to make your stay an experience in history, creativity, design, and discovery!

Relax on the full width front porch or 2nd Floor Balcony and enjoy the sights and sounds of Amish Country.

Located on a dead-end street and only 5 minutes to Downtown Intercourse Village, the conflux of Amish country, with all its quaint shoppes and eateries, yet it is set on a quiet cul de sac, you will be afforded an experience of local culture and flavor of Amish life. The tiny town of Gordonville is surrounded by Amish farmland.
The clip clop of the horses and their carriages on the peaceful countryside roadways will help you slow your pace and delight in this delightful getaway!

Only 15 minutes to Sight and Sound Theater, the Shopping Outlets, and eateries of all sorts allow you to choose a modern theme as well.

A cedarwood fenced-in yard, gas grill, sandlot for the kids, and a tree to hammock is sure to give you memories to last!

As hosts, we hope you will enjoy the tranquility of this lovely home, and be able to experience the Peace and Presence of God, which the early settlers of this region also sought as they settled here!
