Come and relax and watch the eagles ( home to 8 eagles nest) you will have daily sightings. The perfect place to enjoy yourself with your favorite activities; boating, fishing, hiking, outlet shopping, Amish country. At the end of the day spectacular sunsets over the lake on your own private deck. Grilling on the gas grill or the fully equipped kitchen. Or spend the week sitting down by the lake where we have horseshoes or hit a couple golf balls into the hole. Dockage available for your boat out front, public ramp is 1/4 mile upriver at the Pequea Creek. Plenty of parking for the trailer in the overflow area onsite. Or just come to relax and soak up the tranquility of the area!

The lake is surrounded by the Holtwood Preserve; Shenk's Ferry Wildflower Preserve(one of the best in the northeast) and Tucquan Glen Nature Preserve, Pinnacle Overlook are less than 5 miles away. Conestoga trail runs thru Pequea and joins the Mason Dixon trail system. Canoeing & kayaking are great as both the Pequea Creek and the Conestoga River end in this section of the Susquehanna River.

The property was very nice with a good view of the river. Bald eagles were seen multiple times. The property was well equipped. It is in a peaceful area with minimal car traffic. The surrounding area is very scenic.
This property provided everything we needed for a great week in the Lancaster area! The house was all that it was advertised to be; clean and we'll equipped. Owner and host were great. Easy check in!
Clean house, incredible idyllic views, and quiet. I loved the sound of the train on the tracks at night (if you're not a train person, ear plugs are provided). I didn't know Lancaster County could be this beautiful!
Stayed here for a few days as an escape before we went on to visit relatives in Johnstown. Such a beautiful place, the view of the lake was peaceful and sitting outside at night was calming. Very clean and comfortable place and would highly recommend recommend
Great accommodations. Great view of the river. The train that someone mentioned in a previous review? Not even remotely a bother - kinda of cool! Home away from home, stayed here about 21 days. Will stay here again for sure.
If you’re looking for peace and Mother Nature, come here!
Such an amazing short stay here at the Lake house! Beautiful property, Eagles right above the deck, short walking distance to conestoga trail to get some hiking in, sat by the lake for hours and don’t miss out on the sunsets! Feeling a nice reset after this stay, thank you!
We had a wonderful stay at this cozy home by the lake. The setting was peaceful and serene—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The house was well-equipped, and had a charming feel that made it feel like a true escape from the everyday. . I loved waking up to the view of the lake in the morning. The entire home was so neat and clean. Check in/check out was super easy. Everything was as described and even better in person. We can’t wait to stay again!
Other than the parking being a bit adventurous, this was a great place to stay. Plenty of room, lovely deck and the picnic areas down by the water were great. The area has lots of hiking options and is a reasonable distance from Lancaster shopping.

We rented the right half of house. Property was clean and right on the lake with hiking trails and boat launch just around each corner. Would definitely stay here again. Only downfall is nearby train goes through often and location is about 30 minutes from shopping and restaurants. Parking at house is only for one small car, others must park in a lot about two houses down the road.
The property was clean and spacious with excellent views. The property manager was quick to respond to questions, which made our stay so enjoyable. The property is close to many attractions but also secluded enough to get away from the hustle and bustle. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing and fun filled getaway!
