Cozy and comfortable cottage

We stayed at the Way-Har cottage as our son had a baseball tournament nearby. I especially appreciated the fully stocked kitchen to be able to cook meals. The farm fresh milk and cupcakes they left for us was so kind! They were delicious. The beds were very comfortable. Our boys loved walking to the farm to see the animals and barn cats. We look forward to coming back to this wonderful cottage! Thank you for the hospitality. The Augusta Family

Family Fun time together

Everything went perfect! The location was really convenient to the wedding we were attending in the area as well. The house was a great size and everyone who stayed at the house was very happy. Thanks again for allowing us to stay at War har farms cottage

Clean, comfortable, and accommodating

House was clean and comfortable. Host provided some special welcome treats, and also accommodated a last-minute request to stay an extra night. Property was plenty big enough for 4 adults and a dog. Loved sitting on the back porch. Property is located off a very busy and noisy road, so the only suggestion I have is to put shades, blinds, and/or heavier curtains in the front bedroom to block out all the car lights and reduce the noise. Other than that, our stay was great!

Wedding weekend

Great property, clean and comfortable; the only negatives being that the beds could be updated and blackout curtains should be added to keep out the headlights from the rooms. (Property is located right off of a busy highway)

Cozy Country Cottage

Hosts had this cottage prepared to make us feel right at home with Chocolate/Regular Milk, fresh eggs and baked goods! There was a hiccup with hot water, but it was fixed in no time! Large living space to fellowship and spend time with family and nice double sink in bathroom. The only downside is the description says there's a washer/dryer, but the basement was off limits due to safety reasons.

Family vacation

We rented the property to visit family and the house was in a perfect location for us. From the moment we stepped in, it was a beautiful home! We walked into some freshly made cupcakes and a little message. It was very welcoming. There were enough beds to sleep 8 people comfortably and to my surprise, they had some toys in the living room! My 4 yr old was excited. It was a very comfortable home that was perfectly equipped for our family needs. Communication from the home owner was great and next time we stay, we can't wait to take advantage of some of the other ammentities. Can't wait to stay again! Great host!

What a lucky find! We were last minute making travel plans to the area, and I found this guest cottage. Cute, clean and so well stocked with amenities. The previous review covers everything, so I won't be redundate here. Don't forget to take a look at all the delicious items at the Way-Har store just down the road. I picked up gifts for friends as we continued to travel. Everything was delicious! Route 183 is heavily traveled, so my advice is to park in back. It will make going and coming much easier and safer. That's my only tip to future travelers. Great place to stay!

Good location, but on a major (loud) road. Don't expect to get sleep

We were looking for a quiet home to get away, and that's what the title suggested. The house was a good location, close enough to do things, kitchen was stocked and clean. However, the house is on a very busy road that has traffic all day and night. We had a very hard time getting sleep as all we heard were passing vehicles and would feel the shake when trucks passed, which was often.... In addition, there are no blinds on the windows so we would have headlights shine in all night long. After a long day of being out on the trails, we just wanted to rest. I wish we knew how busy the road was ( and the fact there are no blinds on the windows) before booking.

Worst Rental Home Ever!

If you enjoy flies, bugs, and musty smelly dirty homes with 1 air conditioner in the entire house, this is the place for you. Owner’s do not want to hear about problems such as bugs in the bed, bathroom sinks in the only bathroom both backing up and unusable for an entire day, uncleanliness of house which I had to clean, and a disgusting grungy grill that you couldn’t cook on. Sadly, the description in VRBO is not at all what they say it is and owners do not respond in a timely manner especially when it’s about a complaint. Took them all day to respond about bathroom sinks issues. My 97 yr old dad and I had to rent a hotel room at the Wyomissing Homewood Suites because after the first night of not being able to sleep because of the bed bugs in the bed I was supposed to sleep in, the bathroom issue, excessive flies, spiders, 1 a/c in entire house, and loud road, we needed a comfortable place to sleep/relax. The house sits right on busy hwy 183 and is busy day and night. It is an old home in need if much updating and when I questioned the owner about where the horseshoes in ad were, her response was that is not up to them to put stakes in ground, it’s up to the renter. The house is on a hill and there is only one way to get around to the backyard and that is via unstable pavers which I ended up fixing so I didn’t break my neck. I could go on about this nightmare of a rental but my best advise is don’t waste your time or money at this place. No way to post pics as proof

Pleasant and Comfortable

The house is clean and simple. The kitchen was easy to navigate, plenty of items to use for cooking meals. The curtains are sheer, which is lovely as long as you don't need a dark room to sleep.The only downfall is route 183 is a very busy road, which of course leads to noisy nights. So if you need quietness to sleep earplugs or a sound machine will be a good idea to tuck in the suitcase. A nice touch was the milk and bakery item greeting us when we entered. I highly recommend visiting the market. Plenty of yummy foods to choose from. We absolutely recommend staying at the cottage. It is another way to support your local farmer.

Nice place to stay.

Used this location for a wedding in Allentown and a day at Hershey because it was in-between both location. House was nice, for the price. Road noise from a major street location was a bit annoying. Over all had a nice time.

Hershey visit

Cute house on a VERY busy noisy hyway. Heavy traffic 24 hours. Luckily the weather was cool. House had 2 small window air conditioner which we really didn't use. One concern was the front door was blocked with an island that had been removed from kitchen. This prevented two exits. Safety hazard. Access to the back parking wasn't the easiest to get to. All in all the house was good and clean just have to say location wasn't ideal. Hostess gifts were tasty. Thank you. Need to add a light shade was broke in the front bedroom and the ceiling fan in back bedroom needs some work.

Home for the Holidays!

Way-Har Farms Ice Cream brings back cherished childhood memories of growing up in Berks County, PA. The cottage is ideally situated for exploring the area's many attractions, including caving, hiking, sightseeing, Kauffman’s Chicken Restaurant, Cabela’s, Yuengling Brewery tours, and seasonal delights like Koziar’s Christmas Village or Hershey Park. The home’s convenient location and two driveways make access easy, offering an alternative to the main road. The host is highly responsive and communicative, ensuring a seamless experience for renters. It’s a fantastic spot for a small family gathering. Thank you for your warm hospitality!

Great location to Koziar’s and nearby wineries

Located right on a busy road and beds could use new mattresses, but otherwise it was the perfect place for a weekend. The house was clean and plenty of linens were available to us. The muffins and milk from the farm’s market was a nice touch!

Cozy, cute but just know a few things b4 you go.

This is a cute place and the owners leave you some items for your morning breakfast, so that was really great. You’ll find it is very clean. But we felt as though this place is still in process of being renovated. The backside where you can park a car there were stumps and roots and the house on that side looks like it needs painting and updating. Inside the closet doors were off there hinges. There is no dishwasher which is not a big deal, but glasses looked smudged and pans did not look that clean to us. Also, Be prepared to make your own bed when you arrive. (Which if you are arriving late after a long days drive is something you may not want to deal with). You are asked to strip beds b4 you leave as well. Another issue is road noise, as this is on a very busy road. So it may keep you up at night. We felt this place was a little overpriced for what you get. Just giving our honest opinion having stayed and many rentals and do not mean any disrespect to the owners. It’s cozy and cute but just know these things before you book.

Hiking the AT

This was a great location for hiking the AT. We wanted to check in early, but didn't receive an answer. We were able to check-in on time as they were finishing the cleaning. They have been updating the house and had the septic pumped while we were there. They told us at check-in that they will be replacing the windows. There were no screens in the current windows. The AC unit is in the living room. We stayed in the back bedroom so the truck noise was not as loud for us. They could use some room darkening shades or dark curtains. Since there was no dishwasher, we washed the dishes before we used them. The refrigerator had old food in it. They did leave us chocolate milk, eggs, regular milk and cupcakes which was very nice. Overall, we had a great stay as we hiked the AT and sat outside on the porch which had a great outdoor chairs and table.
