recommend because of old charm of house, clean and easy parking in front of house

Our stay at Hermansader's Victorian Mansion was exceedingly lovely and will forever go down in our memory book! Tom was such an accommodating, fascinating, and kind host and we very much enjoyed our conversations with him and his lovely brother, Alan. The house is BEAUTIFUL. Every room, every piece is put together with thought and intention. You can definitely tell that Tom is an artist by how well this old Victorian mansion is arranged. As soon as you step in the door, you feel transported back into time. The rooms were gorgeous. Our room had a Victorian clawfoot tub placed in front of a large window that gave our room splendid lighting. The bed was very comfortable, too! We adored our stay at Hermansader's Victorian Mansion and would DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone else!

Thomas is very hospitality.

A wonderful host.. A wonderful place to stay..

Wonderful host and beautiful home. Tom was very accommodating and friendly. We would happily stay here again.

This is a fabulous home, even more stunning on the the inside than from the outside. Thomas is attentive and quite an interesting man. We had a very nice breakfast and enjoyed our stay very much.

Right from the get go I felt transported back in time. Tom's B&B was authentically restored to its former Victorian glory. What a masterpiece after two long years of restoration. I so enjoyed his stories ... he couldn't have been a better host. His warmth and hospitality made it hard to leave.

Beautiful house and room. We were very comfortable, and enjoyed its central location in town and Thomas' warm hospitality.

Great place and friendly folks to stay.

Great, simple stop. Very close to York in a quiet neighborhood. Caleb made some great recommendations for what to check out in the area too!

It was my first time doing this and Caleb and his girlfriend made me feel right at home. His hospitality was outstanding. 5 stars through the board!

Caleb's place was as described, and he was quite welcoming. It was comfortable in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of restaurants and a park on the Susquehanna river.

"See how nature, trees, flower, and grass grows in silence, gaze at the sky and the moving of the sun to see how they move in silence and touch your soul"; by Mother Teresa. Staying at Diana's place helps you feel exactly as such, and that just sitting on her front porch. It is a trip & destination of itself - to find your way to her home, down a road less traveled to their home.! If you are reading this, you love reviews.. and all of them before mine is spot on accurate. This place is a hidden historical gem, it's energy and history greatness alive. Both Diana and Kevin more than welcoming and accommodating. The place itself with the great room attached the bedroom and the "yes" glorious waterfall shower as all stated, is grand. Staying here is a step back in time with modern conveniences and serenity. SO many little touches, you just have to stay there and discover them all for yourself. Diana's treat of homemade delivered breakfast to you was truly delightful and SCRUMPTIOUS! Seriously, this woman can cook and has an organic conscious mindset and lifestyle. She doesn't just talk the talk, she lives it. This was our first AirBNB experience, and I am so utterly happy we choose to stay there. We look forward to fall foliage peeping down the road less traveled again to Diana's home. Blessing awaiting to those who are open to discovery for all who decide to wander away from the maddening crowds of routine ho hum stay at Diana's. "Those who have eyes know just how irrelevant words are to what they see" by George Braque. It is there now waiting for discovery ! Be there now!! Namaste from Ellen And Thomas

Diana's home is stunning. It's in a beautiful, pastoral setting. It is just across the road from fields, and on Sunday morning, Amish families drove by in buggies on their way to church. The house itself is very unusual; it's a 200-year-old tavern that has been extensively updated and renovated. The decorating is whimsical and unique, but the amenities are thoroughly modern. Diana and Kevin are very friendly and welcoming. They also gave us a great recommendation for dinner. Together, they have an impressive background in a wide range of topics and we really enjoyed talking with them.

As I wrote in Diana's guest book, "she takes hospitality to an art form." Diana is a woman of many talents, and a thoughtful and kind host to boot. She's just good people, went above and beyond to make me comfortable and thought of everything to make the stay effortless and enjoyable. There was absolutely NOTHING I would have changed about this stay. From the comfortable linens, the softest towels, a new French press every morning...fruit in the room, the fresh flowers from her farmette, the cluck of the chickens, the clip, clop of the occasional horse and (URL HIDDEN) was dreamy and relaxing and I found a friend.

We were in the area for a cycling race closer to Lancaster but didn't want to stay in one of those 'strip' motels on a busy road. We came across The Brick Tavern by accident online and took a chance. We were not disappointed. The location was great, out in the country with some turkeys and chickens on the property and farms all around. Sitting out on the porch at the end of the day was so relaxing and I could easily have fallen asleep! The decor is so unique and we loved the style and history of the place. Diana and Kevin were wonderful hosts - providing quality and comfort and a shower that my son continues to rave about...and getting him the shower is usually a chore! I would ignore the term 'studio' as it might be misleading - you get a spacious family room with a couple of couches to sit on, a dining area and a large bedroom which is totally separate. Doors have to be 9 ft high, ceilings have to be 12 ft and the windows are beautiful old, tall windows that let in a lot of light. Add the porch with fairy lights to sit and enjoy the Amish drive their buggies by on and you have such a treat. The only one down side is that once in a while a couple of noisy pick up trucks would rev their engines as they went past but they were usually done before bed time. Would definitely recommend staying here - they have a mini fridge, microwave and coffee/tea too in your room so you can eat breakfast out on the porch without having to run out early in the morning. Enjoy!

If you are looking for a spacious apartment, that is well managed by a friendly and helpful couple, look no further. The place is a great find. Book it if you can.

Diana and Kevin were very hospitable and we enjoyed our stay so much. Convenient to Amish country, Lancaster, and York. Diana was extremely communicative and helpful.

Diana and Kevin's home is lovely and so are they! The place is really warm and welcoming, providing a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of NYC and life in general. The space was extremely clean and very comfortable with lots of light. The new shower in the bathroom was amazing! This is not something I particularly care about but it was a really nice treat. We stayed at the tavern for two nights and the restaurants in the area are awesome. We went to BBQ and the John Wright restaurant for dinner and Hinkle's Pharmacy restaurant for breakfast. The location is close to Giant's Center in Hershey Park, where we saw a concert, and also super close to hiking/walking trails where we rented bikes and enjoyed the scenic river! Before heading home we stopped at the nearby Lancaster Market to get some treats. Overall, a really great AirBnb experience. Highly recommended! Thanks Diana and Kevin for a wonderful stay.

Wow , we were expecting a studio room but got an amazing suite, lounge diner with door onto the porch along with huge bedroom and an out of this world bathroom,eclectic decor was a perfect match to our own taste - we could have quite easily moved in. Diana was a fantastic host making us so welcome , breakfasts were superb, advise on where to eat spot on. Home made soaps provided were lush . If you get chance have a massage we both did and I have to say it was the best ever. Diana thank you so much for sharing your wonderful home x

My husband and I decided to stay at this lovely and unique B and B while furniture hunting in Lancaster. We we're delighted with Tom's hospitality and home. The house was beautiful and close to great restaurants and local fairs as well as Lancaster shopping. We would recommend this B and B.

Our stay here was amazing! The mansion is beautiful and Thomas was wonderful and great to talk with. The breakfast was delicious and our stay went above and beyond our expectations! We would love to go back and stay again!

Great place to stay for 2-3 people! We got in late and didn't end up meeting our hosts but they were super communicative by phone. Also the space is gorgeous - minimal but awesome decoration and paintings everywhere! Loved it - this could be in an arts magazine.

Great Value! I unfortunately, had to check in late. This was not a problem, and I hit the sack right away. Be advised, the bed I was on was v. firm -fine by me, and just FYI. V clean room and bath. Excellent communication. I'll be looking looking them up again in the future.

I had a great stay at Oscar & Ana. The house is big, the room very tidy and I even had the oppertunity to join for game night, thanks again!

Oscar's place was easily accessable from the highway and easy to find. It was quite close to everything that i was doing while in town. The room was simple and clean and the place was pretty quiet.

Beautiful home

Nothing special...

Great location, good living space and friendly hosts.

Oscar and Ana's place was exactly what I needed: a place to sleep and refresh after a wedding in Columbia, PA. Their house is beautiful, very clean, and on a quiet, residential street. Although I didn't get the chance to meet them, they were easy to communicate with through airbnb. Thank you, again, Oscar and Ana!

This is a lovely, quiet bedroom room with a nice adjacent bathroom. Very neat and clean, in a quiet neighborhood. Oscar & Ana were easy to communicate with, although I only met Oscar briefly at check-in. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at The Birdhouse! The cottage is beautifully designed and had everything we needed for the week we spent there. Carol is very responsive and welcoming. There are so many thoughtful touches. There are several cottages on the property, set back off the road near the cows, chickens and other farm animals. It was quiet and peaceful, and easy to get out to all the surrounding areas for shopping, dining and sight seeing. One of our best Airbnb experiences. Highly recommended!

The Birdhouse is a lovely space on Carol and Pete's farm. We particularly enjoyed the porch, great shower, great kitchen (Carol even provided us with farm fresh eggs and a kale salad during our stay) and watching their cows graze nearby.

It was a lovely, charming and comfortable space. I could not have been more pleased with my visit.

Beautiful, clean, lovely home nestled off the busy path. Quiet and very comfortable. The Birdhouse is a unique, special home with so much character. My wife and I loved staying here. I highly recommend this home if you're travels take you to the Lancaster PA area.

The Birdhouse is truly lovely, Carol & Pete's attention to detail and thoughtful touches make their cottage a wonderful setting for a retreat.

The place was so clean and had such a great courtyard. We sat out there everyday. So relaxing and quiet. Would definitely recommend to others!!

If you're looking for a quite place this is it. Easy access from roadway. Host clear about everything.

Beautiful house

Loved staying (URL HIDDEN) comfortable and such a beautiful home..... Lillian is an awesome host and there were many sights to explore in such an historical town.

Lillian and her neighbor, Pam, did a great job of welcoming us, communicating, and making sure we had everything we needed. The room was clean and quite charming. As Lillian warned us ahead of time, trains came through and whistled in the middle of the night, but that didn't bother us-- the provided ear plugs were great. The place was a good value. The only thing I would change would be to get a nicer bed/mattress, as it was a pull-out of some sort, and the springs weren't the most comfortable. Even so, we had a great stay, and I would definitely recommend this place! Thanks, Lillian and Pam!

Lillian's place was so cute and cozy with all the right décor touches to not only make you feel at home away from home, but give you the feel of living in a historic river town. The bed was the greatest, just like sleeping on a cloud! House was very well heated too and the bathroom was very cute.

The host canceled this reservation 78 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Already planning our next trip back here! You can't beat this place for the price. The space was exactly as described and the bed was much more comfortable than I had imagined from the pictures -- it looks like a standard pullout in the listing but it actually has a pillow-top mattress that's heavenly. A train passes by right across the street, but Lillian had a sound machine and neither of us ever heard any trains during the night. We had never been to Marietta and it's such a beautiful little river town with lots of history. Even though it was rainy and chilly, we still managed to get in a 6-mile hike on the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail, which has an entry point literally across the street from Lillian's. We also had an amazing meal at the Railroad House. Highly recommend it. We can't wait to come back in the summer to explore more of what the area has to offer and do some kayaking too. Thanks again Lillian!

The room was, for the most part, as advertised. We were bothered that Lillian came into the room at some point during the second day of our stay while we were out, without alerting us (either before or after the fact). We only figured it out by chance because a large book of hers that we had commented on our first night was missing from the shelf the second night. Obviously, it is her house, but given that it is a private room with a separate locked entrance, it was disconcerting to know she had been in the room during our stay without saying anything to us. We appreciated the heads-up about the trains. There were 2-3 trains per night. We noticed them the first night, but didn't notice them the second night. The noise machine helped in that regard. Keep in mind that you also have noise from the rest of the house. There is a significant crack under the door separating the room from the rest of the house, and we could hear the TV, the telephone, and the dog walking around. We were surprised that past reviewers hadn't mentioned that the bed is extremely soft, which was problematic for two people - we would both end up rolled into the center in the middle of the night. These issues notwithstanding, we found the room to be pleasant and a very good deal. It was extremely clean, which was great, and Lillian has provided a jug of drinking water and a host of nice bathroom soaps/shampoos. The house is on a nice, quiet street, and we had no issues parking out front. Marietta is only 20-30 minutes away by car from nearby cities like Lancaster and Hershey, so there is plenty to do close by. Lastly, when we met Lillian briefly, she was very nice and hospitable.

We were in town for a wedding and Stephen was so helpful getting us settled. The house was beautiful and we had a great time exploring. We would definitely go back if the opportunity arose.

Very good experience. His home is the most beautiful place I have ever stayed! Magnificent. Thank you Stephen for letting people experience such a wonderful home.

The stay was great! Stephen met us and provided a great overview of the property. The house is gorgeous, as are the furnishings. We had a group of seven--three couples and a toddler, and we found it pretty toddler friendly--there wasn't much at toddler height that he could reach a it was easy to close off a lot of rooms to keep an eye on him.

Steve's mansion was everything we asked for our 8 family mini vacation! Steve's attention to detail was impeccable with all the furnishings in the house as well as the tour before going into the house itself. Would definitely rent this Airbnb again if we were in the area. We enjoyed the company of the cats as well!!

Stephen gave us a tour of his beautiful 1850 home and left us to enjoy the historic furnishings, the ornate chandeliers, the velvet couches and the updated kitchen and bathrooms. It was the perfect setting for my daughter's wedding photos. Everyone who visited the home loved it and felt the furnishings were from a museum. Everyone enjoyed the history of the "Iron Masters Home" from another time.

Stephen welcomed us at the house upon arrival and gave a thorough tour. The house is in a wonderful (small) neighborhood and the description/pictures are quite accurate. He was more than willing to offer help if we had questions during our stay.

Beautiful house in an excellent location.

The house was beautiful and well kept with an authentic feeling to the style of the house and area. On a very quiet and private street that made our stay very relaxing and peaceful. Kitchen amenities were great and this was the room the group of 8 of us spent the most time in. Enjoyed our stay and would recommend renting the home if you have a reason to stay in the area.

David did a wonderful job of making you husband and I feel welcomed in his home. This home is stunning and one of a kind. A wonderful experience.

David's home is just a masterpiece. The energy and comforts are beyond compare. The vista from the house is wonderful at any part of the day and we also had fun looking up at the stars at night! We stayed for 2 days and did not feel like we had experienced everything his home had to offer :) Plus David was very easy to contact and get responses from.

This is a unique and interesting house. Loved the view from the Sunset room, nice to wake up and look out at the Susquehanna River in the distance.

Prepare to be absolutely blown away by a beautifully unique home and setting. David has poured his heart into this work of art which is his house, and you immediately feel his passion for sharing it with his guests. Go out of your way to visit and stay here.

If you need to get away from it all and have tranquility, peace, and beauty in every view, stay at this lovely retreat. Attention to artistic detail, use of natural earth elements in decor, as well as connecting with the spiritual, can be witnessed in every glimpse. This place is like a good dream that you don't want to awaken from. David is friendly and great host, opening his entire home for our use, not just our room. Thank you!

My husband and I found La Casa de David last minute, as we were road tripping from NYC to Tennessee. What a true gem it was! David accepted our inquiry, got the room ready, and welcomed us all within an hour or so. The home is an architectural marvel, and it's clear how much time and effort David has put into the space! Unfortunately, our road trip schedule mandated that we moved on quickly the next morning, but we still made time to explore around the house and take advantage of the calm, tranquil energy within the home for a meditation session before setting out on the rest of our trip. Thank you David!

If you are looking to find a peaceful and spiritual setting you must stay at David's home. It is truly one of the most incredible places that I have ever visited. From the moment you arrive, David makes you feel welcomed and at ease. The architecture and décor are amazing.

I don't know where to begin! This home was immaculate! Leo and Marco were the most amazing hosts They thought of everything a guest could need or want! You should make it your very first choice! It is a great location to stay central to Amish country and also Hershey and your hosts will guide you anywhere you need to go. You will not be disappointed. You can not beat the value. It was all around the best stay we have had with Airbnb. Love there sweet pups too!

Our stay there was great. Beautiful, and quiet neighborhood. Clean, spacious, and relaxing..

Marco and Leo were excellent hosts and provided everything we needed, and more. My friend and I came for the weekend to visit Hersheypark and the surrounding area and this place was perfect. It was very comfortable, well-equipped with everything we needed, had lots of parking, and Marco and Leo were so hospitable and really made us feel at home. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful room, and two terrific hosts! Very easy atmosphere and you will feel welcomed, and at home.

We stayed here for the bike trails, and this place is right on the start of two wonderful trails. They have decked out the rooms like a real B and B, tho breakfast isn't offered. Terrance was very sweet and attentive. Their little dogs are very yappy, and tho they kept them behind closed doors, if you're not into dogs or noise, this could be a problem. There's no town center nearby and as vegans we found it hard to find places to eat. But the bike trails are wonderful, right along the river, offering canoes and kayaks and walking trails. A great outdoorsy place just 1.5 hours west of Philly.

Tammy and Terrance's home is an impeccably restored Georgian mansion with all the amenities anyone could ask for. Queen sized four poster bed, magnificently finished, huge, Georgian bathroom with a fully refinished cast iron shower and bath tub. Tammy and Terrance could not be more accommodating and welcomed us into their beautifully furnished home. We will make certain we stay there every time we visit the Marietta area which gives us easy access to Gettysburg, Hershey, Spooky Nook, Lancaster,York and the Amish/Mennonite towns.

We absolutely loved staying here! The area is beautiful and the house is incredible. Terrance and Tammy were very nice and so easy to stay with. I would recommend staying here to anyone looking for a nice weekend getaway!

Terrance and Tammy have a charming historic house. The window unit kept the room cool, the sheets were clean, and we had coffee and OJ ready in the morning! What a cute river town- complete with a bike path and walkable pub and great hosts.

Terrance and Tammy were very welcoming for our short stay. Their place was clean, quaint, and just what we needed. Thanks for a great stay in Lancaster!

We really picked a winner when we chose T&T's place. Super close to the bike path and just blocks away to choice of restaurants. We loved using the hot tub before going to bed and the pool in the afternoon. Added bonus was the offer of tickets to see Billy Porter perform at Primi Theatre near Lancaster. We hope to get back to Marietta soon!

The carriage house was such a wonderful surprise! I was down in York PA just for the afternoon and needed somewhere close by to crash for the night---the carriage house was on my way home and had great pictures so I booked it. But the pictures don't do it justice--this place is amazing. Logan did a great job restoring this apartment--it has that very quaint-antiquey feel to it but its modernly functional. It was also extremely clean, cozy and bright. I really enjoyed my one night stay, in particular the quiet early morning early complete with some french press coffee--an excellent touch! Logan was easy to get in touch response and very quick on his response time. And the lock box made entry and exit easy. I would recommend this place to anyone in the Lancaster area!

Splendid, immaculate, cozy flat! Quite accessible to main roads and location eases up traveling around Lancaster County. Welcoming neighbors if you have a chance to meet. When returning to the area, no doubt will stay again!

This was a great little place for us to stay for our trip. The apartment was very nice and clean- looked like many new renovations and was overall comfortable and cute! It worked well for us especially having the 2nd bedroom to put our son in.. my only advice for future people is that the apartment doesn't have wifi or a TV. We were in a bit of a rush and booked quickly without scaling every detail and didn't notice about the wifi.. we would definitely recommend this place to others!

The apartment was so beautiful! Lovely, clean, spacious and bright. The bed was so comfy as well! Could not have asked for a lovelier place to stay for the weekend.

The apartment was very nice,clean, and comfortable. Very bright and updated. We had a problem when we arrived. The neighbors were outside smoking and there were cigars and boxes of beer cans outside the entrance. We informed the host and he took care of it. The next day was much better. The host responded very quickly to our concerns. A few things that might bother some people: No curtains or shades in the living area, no TV at all, and no a/c in one of the rooms.

First off, this was likely the cleanest place we have ever stayed in! Simply decorated, but really the bare minimum. Coffee/sugar/creamer was ready and waiting! Life saver! Yes- agree with others that curtains would be nice... not really so much about privacy, but to ensure darkness at night- the street lights kept the place a bit brighter than we preferred. Although not required (or necessarily expected) would be great to have some shampoo and hair dryer available. Plenty of fluffy towels ready for us. Flannel sheets on one of the beds was cozy! More surfaces to place things would be helpful. Thanks for a great stay!

Nice, airy apartment.

Very clean and spacious. Will recommend!
