Owners were easy to get in touch with and extremely helpful. Property was beautiful, quiet, peaceful and clean. There was plenty of space for us to spread out and games and puzzles galore. From the wildlife to the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway.

Beautiful views!

We loved our stay at this house. In town for a wedding, the space was the perfect size to let us visit with family and get ready. Only thing others may want to know is how close the train tracks are to the house. We had lots of safety talks with our kids, and we always knew when the train was going by! But the views of the river can’t be beat.

Spacious and unique rental

The property met our needs for space and amenities. The area and setting of the property is lovely. It was chilly the week we visited otherwise we would have spent more time outside. We had an easy check in with good instructions. We had no need to contact the owner during our stay.We were satisfied with the accommodations.

Fun for everyone

We had a wonderful stay at the Lake House South. The views were amazing, and it was fun to watch the birds and bunnies in the yard. We had everything we needed and then some. The home was clean except for some dead bugs on the high windowsills that were hard to reach for a cleaning person. It did make a difference when looking out the bedroom windows over the Livingroom and we wished they weren't there. We loved the pottery decor and the variety of books on the bookshelves. The road was closed right near us, so it was a very quiet and peaceful area. The train track is close, but it was fun to watch them when they passed through. There were not that many, but some came through at night. Even so, it was not that loud and if you book a place with a train track, expect to hear trains. We would definitely recommend staying here and would stay here again. I would also totally recommend going to Village Greens Golf Mini Golf near Strasburg while you are in the area. It was one of the most beautiful mini golf places I have ever been to. Waterfalls and flowers!
