Stunning and truly unique property

5 of 5
Submitted: January 26, 2013 Stayed: December 2012
Our family stayed for 4 nights in the Stone House to celebrate our daughters 5th and 10th birthdays. We had 6 adults and 2 children in the house and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves. The property and home are visually stunning. It was peaceful and charming in character. The house was stocked with every thing that one could need while staying there. We used both of the homes fireplaces during our visit and were amazed at the amount of wood and other supplies that were there for us to use. The owners are professional and friendly. We highly recommend this property and are currently in the process of booking another stay in Lancaster. Thanks for sharing this amazing home/property with our family!

The Perfect Place for a Family Vacation

5 of 5
Submitted: August 5, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
My family and I had a wonderful time at the Stone Farmhouse. The park like setting of the horse farm, beautiful house grounds, fishing stream about 100 yards from the house and the wonderful pool were perfect for our family get away. The house and property were very clean and exceptionally maintained. There is lots to do in the Lancaster area and we enjoyed taking the grandsons (2 & 6) to Dutch Wonderland, a family Amish buggy ride, golf (recco Overlook GC), walking and biking to covered bridges, catching fish (little ones) in the stream and dining at Gibraltar's (nice restaurant) and Good and Plenty for tasty Amish dishes. Along with the pool, the screened in porch was super. Even though we had typical 90 degree July weather, the porch was the place for morning coffee and evening family dinners. The house comes with lots of pool toys, basketball, a shaded hammock, wireless internet, frisbees, games, BBQ grill, marshmallow sticks for the fire pit and everything a family needs for a relaxing vacation. They have thought of everything. It even had all the "baby support equipment" for the two year old. We all had a blast and highly recommend the Stone Farmhouse.

Owner's Response: We certainly appreciate these kind remarks. Our goal is for our guests to have an amazing and memorable experience at Shallowbrook Farm. Both Lancaster and Shallowbrook have much more to offer visitors than we could possibly mention here. Why not come to the Farm and experience a little piece of heaven?

Beautiful home, relaxing setting

5 of 5
Submitted: June 18, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We rented the house for a family vacation - 6 adults and 3 children. The home accommodated everyone with plenty of room to play games, watch videos, and just sit and enjoy nature. We enjoyed the new porch, grilled out a couple of times, swam in the pool 3 times and used the kitchen a few times. The house is very comfortable. We opted for the owner's linens - you will have to make your own bed. The only thing we found missing was soap and trash bags. Other than that, we had everything we needed to enjoy the week. The kids wanted us to live there! It is very quiet and the landscaping is immaculate. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone wanting a comfortable and luxurious setting. The pictures do not do it justice.

We felt at home as soon as we walked in! We stayed for Easter and were greeted by a box of locally made chocolates which were delish! The home was very clean and very comfortable. The yard was gorgeous (my kids ran around for hours) and the firepit was perfect on a chilly night. There were even marshmallow roasting forks available for our use and our children LOVED making smores! The ONLY reason I wouldnt recommend this home to anyone is because I want it all to MYSELF! It was a perfect place to spend this holiday and we have already discussed spending many more!
Owner's Response: Thank you Tricia. We love it when our guests have an enjoyable and fullfilling experience. We too are looking forward to your return visit.
