Log cabin nestled beside Chiques Creek in historic Lancaster County

This 3-bedroom home is a great place to get away and relax or as a home base for your tour of historic Lancaster County. It is located minutes from Hershey Park, Lancaster County tourist spots and the Spooky Nook Sports complex (home of the US Women’s Field Hockey team) yet apart from all the traffic on a quiet rural street close to Siegrist Mill covered bridge.

Built on the foundation of an old grist mill, the home provides history and charm. Fall asleep to the sound of the mill race right outside your bedroom window. Spend the day watching birds from the sun porch or just enjoying life while watching the creek and its variety of wildlife from the front porch.

A relaxing vacation.

We planned our entire vacation around one event. We had made reservations at The Sight and Sound Theater. We had reservations for a Thursday afternoon show. The rest of the week we just went in and shopped at local stores, ate at local restaurants and spent a couple of days just relaxing around the cabin. The cabin is very homey and a great place to relax and get away from the daily grind of life. We will definitely stay here again.

Another great stay!

This was our third time staying here since January of this year to attend volleyball tournaments at Spooky Nook. It was exactly what we needed. Three athletes and the moms. Much better than staying in a hotel. Space to spread out, a full kitchen to prepare meals to have instead of eating out the whole weekend, definitely more economical to split with three families than individually each staying at hotels for multiple nights. Host was easy to get a hold of and very responsive.

Quiet retreat

This location was perfect for me: rural, quiet, and picturesque. Space with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths made this very comfortable. Seemed like we went to stay with owner's grandparents based upon age of appliances, decorations, and mismatched kitchen dishes and utensils. So would have been happier if the home had been updated a bit more and purged of grandma and grandpa's old stuff.

Cozy Getaway

The cabin was clean and cozy. We enjoyed the outdoor scenery with landscaping, covered bridge and creek. Very close to the facility we had to be at. We would stay there again. It is perfect for needed getaways!

Family PA weekend

We found the house very easily with the directions. As we got to the driveway, we were VERY DELIGHTED with the log cabin! The online outside picture does not do justice. The setting is , serene, and beautiful. The inside was very clean; we were able to adjust the thermostat to our comfort. Our only reason to give four stars instead of five was due to the musty closed-up smell in the air. Maybe dehumidifier or remove carpets. That is our only suggestion. We plan to return for family functions and would be happy to stay again. Thank you for an overall great experience.

Basketball tournament stay

House was great. Beds comfy. Appliances a bit outdated. We could not get the oven to work but stove did. The toaster needs replacing. We ate out mostly but wanted to pass along these two items. The property and location beautiful and covered bridge just a few steps away. We loved it.

Nice cabin in quiet location

Overall, our stay was very pleasant. We loved the location and the accommodations. The only drawback was there were no garbage bags, only 2 tissues in the box and we only had 1/4 roll of paper towels. We looked for extras and couldn’t find them. But would stay again and just pack extras with us.

It was a nice place

At the top step when you step up onto the porch is a small lip that hangs over the porch and my husband fell onto the porch.The top of his shoe caught the lip of the porch and he fell.You might need to put a sign there to watch your step.

Great area, great place, just needed more attention to cleaning.

The dryer had an out of order sign. I was not notified of this. Commodes had been neglected. Coffee pot, some utensils, a pan in the oven all not clean. Cleaning containers all empty. No swiffer pads. Had to use disinfectant wipes. Owner communicated promptly. The next day sent cleaning lady over but we had already cleaned. There was obviously a difference of opinions & i felt it was not my place to handle employee matters. She told me they would come do our clothes which was not on our plans. She also suggested I could go to a laundromat or hang them over the porch rail which was also not in out plans. There are other things I could say but I think I’ve said enough. I have no issues with the communication with the owner she was very prompt in responding. I did ask for some refund on the cleaning fee. Don’t know if this will happen. The house was old & beautiful. The grounds were pretty. It was convenient to everything. I got permission from the owner to host a small gathering of family and she graciously consented. Other than the dryer and the cleaning issues, which can be fixed, I would stay there again & would recommend it to others.

All in all quite lovely…but…

But there are a few things that really should be addressed, and a a rental property owner, these comments are meant constructively.The location, neighborhood, and house itself were VERY nice. Very “cozy” Wonderful AC kept the house cool as it was hot & humid this weekend. House was well appointed with necessities, beds quite comfy and the sun porch was lovely. The only thing lacking was some glassware for cocktails…wine, rock & tumbler glasses would be nice. We did find the house has a problem with black carpenter ants. We found a “colony” under the master bath mat which we had to “take care of”. Also found them along the baseboards in the bedrooms. We needed to purchase Raid spray & vacuum the bedrooms after. I’m going add we noted many cobwebs etc in the corners & under the beds. I don’t think we would have stayed had we not vacuumed. After our efforts we no longer had an issue. I strongly recommend that renters be informed that the house has well water, at least I assume it’s well? If not still, when the shower was turned on there was a POWERFUL odor of sulfur. Fortunately the odor dissipated after letting the water run. However, we did have to go out and buy bottled water as we found sediment in our glasses when the ice cubes melted and also in the coffee pot. We did not feel comfortable drinking from the tap.Lastly, the WiFi seemed taxed as the TV would freeze & have garbled sound as there were 6 iPhones in use. LONG “search times” on our phones.Love the birds!
