This place is absolutely breathtaking—offering incredible views both inside and out. The house is immaculate, and the owners are the friendliest, most cordial, God-loving people you could hope to meet. We've stayed here several times, and it’s always our first choice when visiting Amish country. You certainly won’t be disappointed!

The guesthouse was sparkling clean and perfectly set up for our family. We stayed for 6 nights and wished we could have stayed longer! We planned day trips to the steam train in Strasburg, Longwood Gardens and to Hershey Park, but we were always happy to get back to the guesthouse. Our favorite part was sitting on the front porch at sunset and watching the fireflies appear.

This is our 3rd time staying at this beautiful house. We love the tranquillity of this location. We enjoy using the grill and fire pit at night. Seeing the animals and feeding them is definitely an added bonus. It’s always bittersweet leaving.

We had such a wonderful trip. The property was beautiful. We even got to feed the goats!! The accommodations are very modern and updated. We had access to the porch and an outside gazebo. I would highly recommend this house. It was a dream!! The host was so sweet, brought us homemade bread. We would love to come back someday.

This was a perfect cozy inviting space after a very busy few days out & about visiting family. The main BR downstairs worked wonderfully for my 84 year parents. And the extra kitchenette upstairs with kids work well also! The only thing I would’ve like clearer was no TVs which my parents have on 24/7 at home. Good thing we were busy. However, consensus was, if we were in the area again we would gladly stay again! Bonus was the kids getting to pet/hold/feed goats/chickens and run around with the dogs. Thank you Ruthy and family for helping us make more family memories!3

We have stayed here 4 times and the property is still just as breathtaking. The house is in impeccable shape. We love seeing the new decor additions with each stay. We enjoyed using the grill and fire pit. Watching the sunset from the farm is absolutely stunning, especially with the adorable farm dogs.

We have been visiting the Buena Hill Homestead for several years. It has become our home away from home… our favorite little getaway. The property and house is absolutely immaculate, breath taking views, and ample space. Ruthy and her family graciously welcome us and make us feel so comfortable. My children love the animals and exploring the grounds. You won’t be disappointed with this stay.

Immaculate, very clean and beautifully decorated home. Extemely comfortable (3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, very spacious)Very thoughtful hosts (best sourdough bread ever!), perfect grounds for kids to be outdoors and the plus are the chicken, goats and of course the dogs. Couldn't ask for more. Third year spending Thanksgiving and will keep up the tradition. Thanks Ruthy and family for your kindness.

The stay was wonderful!! The 3 bedrooms with master baths for each was perfect. The home and property were extremely clean and very well decorated. The home is in the country away from all the tourist traffic, but just minutes away from Sight and Sounds theater, restaurants, and other attractions. I've stayed in 10 or 12 VRBO homes over the years and Ruthy was the best host hands down. Our group is already talking about another trip!!

Ruthy was so amazing and welcoming to the place which is a plus all by itself. Then upon a late arrival which she graciously set out and left the lights on for us, we were so impressed with the fresh beautiful setup of all of the rooms and living spaces. High quality beds and bedding. The showers and tubs were fantastic. The kitchen had everything we needed and the main downstairs room was just an inviting space to hang out and play games with the family ;-) The outdoor space we didn’t get to use as we had daily plans but it looked perfect to sit at and enjoy. We will do that when we return! Don’t hesitate to book this place. We have done many VRBO stays all over and this sets a high bar. Thank you Ruthy and family!

The farm and the location are even better in person and the hosts of this property are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. Tons of special touches including handwritten notes and treats left for us when we arrived made it clear that we were welcome there. The property is modern, clean and homey - nothing was left undone here. Top notch!

The guesthouse was sparkling clean and perfectly set up for our family. We stayed for 6 nights and wished we could have stayed longer! We planned day trips to the steam train in Strasburg, Longwood Gardens and to Hershey Park, but we were always happy to get back to the guesthouse. Our favorite part was sitting on the front porch at sunset and watching the fireflies appear.
The guesthouse was sparkling clean and perfectly set up for our family. We stayed for 6 nights and wished we could have stayed longer!

The stay was wonderful!! The 3 bedrooms with master baths for each was perfect. The home and property were extremely clean and very well decorated. The home is in the country away from all the tourist traffic, but just minutes away from Sight and Sounds theater, restaurants, and other attractions. I've stayed in 10 or 12 VRBO homes over the years and Ruthy was the best host hands down. Our group is already talking about another trip!!

Our second time staying at Buena Hill Homestead. Extremely clean and cozy, and conveniently located near activities in Strasburg and Ronks. Ruthy is a very kind host. Definitely would stay here again next time we visit Lancaster county!

Peace and quiet in an incredibly well-appointed and modern living space that literally sparkled with cleanliness. We would definately stay here again and the host couldn't have been any more accomodating, kind and attentive. This place moves to the top of the list.

Our stay at Brian Hill Homestead was wonderful. The house was perfect for our group. The house was clean and welcoming. The property was so beautiful; with beautiful sunsets and quiet atmosphere. We will definitely visit again. And would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful, quiet getaway with friends and/or family. The Petersheim’s are wonderful hosts; they make you feel right at home!

We have been visiting the Buena Hill Homestead for several years. It has become our home away from home… our favorite little getaway. The property and house is absolutely immaculate, breath taking views, and ample space. Ruthy and her family graciously welcome us and make us feel so comfortable. My children love the animals and exploring the grounds. You won’t be disappointed with this stay.

We had such a wonderful trip. The property was beautiful. We even got to feed the goats!! The accommodations are very modern and updated. We had access to the porch and an outside gazebo. I would highly recommend this house. It was a dream!! The host was so sweet, brought us homemade bread. We would love to come back someday.

Immaculate, very clean and beautifully decorated home. Extemely comfortable (3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, very spacious)Very thoughtful hosts (best sourdough bread ever!), perfect grounds for kids to be outdoors and the plus are the chicken, goats and of course the dogs. Couldn't ask for more. Third year spending Thanksgiving and will keep up the tradition. Thanks Ruthy and family for your kindness.

We thoroughly enjoyed the relaxing environment and had some fun interaction with the animals. Ruthy is a wonderful hostess and even left fresh baked bread and butter for breakfast!

The forever memories we made here with our kids and close family friend will last us all a lifetime! The farm and the location are even better in person and the hosts of this property are some of the kindest people you will ever meet. Tons of special touches including handwritten notes and treats left for us when we arrived made it clear that we were welcome there. The property is modern, clean and homey - nothing was left undone here. Top notch! Letting the kids play on the farm and feed the goats and chickens were a highlight for all of us and we can't wait to return again to make more memories with our loved ones! Thank you Ruthy and Christian for everything - God bless!

Buena Hill Homestead is a perfect place to stay if your looking to rest. The farm is quiet and peaceful. The guest house is absolutely beautiful and immaculately clean. There was also a lovely treat of delicious homemade granola and yogurt waiting for us. Ruthy is the perfect host! We felt very blessed to be able to share their property for a few days.

This was the most perfect place to choose. Ruthy is the best hostess. She made us feel welcomed and prepared a loaf of bread and it was the best I have ever eaten. This is one stay that we will definitely do again. The house was spotless and the views out the windows and while sitting outside are stunning. Thank you Ruthy for sharing your home with me and my family.

The home and property were absolutely beautiful! The bedrooms were master bedrooms with large bathrooms. The beds were perfect for a great nights sleep. The hosts ( Ruthie and Christian ) were also delightful to work with . They went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. We would definitely stay at this property again . Everything we needed from linens to kitchen supplies etc were provided. Mrs. Ruthie even made up some delicious sourdough bread .
