We enjoyed our stay. Our grandchildren loved the swingset and toys in the home. We had a crazy wedding week, and this home so was nice to come back and relax to. We loved all the little touches that made us feel welcome. Would highly recommend

We traveled from NJ, with family members from overseas, for a trip to Hershey's and Lancaster. We stayed a night at Dean and Christine's lovely home. They had thought of everything and made our stay very comfortable. The house was spotless. They provided us with sourdough cinnamon rolls, bottled water, snacks, and soda, which I have to say was very thoughtful and considerate of them. Their backyard is beautiful, and we enjoyed the fireflies after dark. Overall, our stay was lovely, comfortable, and relaxing. Thank you, Dean and Cristine.

Our stay at this VRBO home in Lancaster was an absolute delight from start to finish! The communication with the host before and during our stay was exceptional, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience. The kids' playground and spacious backyard were a hit, and we enjoyed a cozy campfire every night. The house was immaculate and had plenty of room for everyone. A huge bonus was the assortment of toys that kept the kids entertained – they especially loved the hammock in the living room, practically living on it! This property exceeded our expectations in every way and made for an unforgettable family getaway. We can't wait to come back!

Our family enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It’s an older, cozy home, filled with God’s presence. The location is beautiful; nestled in the country. We enjoyed family dinners, fires and good conversations. I was nervous about not having a TV but it worked out. A radio for music might be a nice touch? The steps are a bit steep but all bedrooms were fine. We managed with one bathroom and there were 5 of us. The children’s toys came in handy since we had a one year old. The house was very clean and surroundings were beautiful! Dean was a wonderful host. He checked on us throughout our stay to make sure everything was okay.

We had a great stay at this house. The hosts are especially kind and caring and made sure we had everything we need throughout the stay. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed was very comfortable and the whole space was tastefully designed and decorated. All the cleaning products were unscented, which for us was a big bonius since we are sensitive to perfumes. And the view from the house in the back is a peaceful open field with nice sunrises. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Where to begin? We wanted a place to stay that was clean, quiet and a bit off a beaten path. Did we score with this place! The couple managing this place were welcoming in the extreme. They were helpful they were courteous and they were friendly. I couldn't ask for anything more. The property was incredible. It was cleaner than I could have imagined and homie. They had made some cinnamon rolls for us that were delicious, there were nice touches of home and care all over the place and it was greatly appreciated. I couldn't give this place a higher rating and if we come back to Lancaster county I guarantee we will be staying here. That said there were a couple things that I would suggest. First they need to work on the stock of the kitchen just a bit: a strainer would be very nice for pasta, sugar and a few other essentials. A desk or chest of drawers in the downstairs bedroom would have been greatly appreciated. But that really is about it. Other than those minor things this place was an absolute pleasure to stay at and I think the couple greatly for our stay.

We only spent one night but wished we could have stayed longer. We (group of 5 women) were in town for a church conference in Lancaster. We thought the VRBO would be more enjoyable than a hotel and we weren't wrong. The Cottage was clean and had a great feel to it. The owners left a sweet note and the whoopie pies hit the spot after our long drive. I came home and told my husband we need to go back and spend more time.

We traveled from NJ, with family members from overseas, for a trip to Hershey's and Lancaster. We stayed a night at Dean and Christine's lovely home. They had thought of everything and made our stay very comfortable. The house was spotless. They provided us with sourdough cinnamon rolls, bottled water, snacks, and soda, which I have to say was very thoughtful and considerate of them. Their backyard is beautiful, and we enjoyed the fireflies after dark. Overall, our stay was lovely, comfortable, and relaxing. Thank you, Dean and Cristine.

It was great! We had a reunion weekend and it was the perfect place for us to get together and spend quality time. The kitchen had everything we needed to make a great meal. We all enjoyed a good nights rest as well. We will definitely be returning!!

We came to the cottage for a church conference event with some of our family. We were blown away by the house! Every detail was thought of specially if you have children! This was such a peaceful home! We also loved reading the story of the home owners and their family! I can’t wait to stay here again! Ps the cinnamon rolls were amazing!!

The Translators Cottage was immaculate, cozy, comfortably furnished and well stocked. The host responded speedily and was most helpful. The cottage was a comfortable haven away from home. The expansive wooden wall map provided the crowning touch of the Translators Cottage. We hope to return.
