This was our 4th time staying in the Bird House and we had another enjoyable time. We love the country location it makes us feel like home. This time we enjoyed the York Herb and Garden Festival on Friday and spent a lot of time visiting the Amish Greenhouses. We cook most of our meals to spend time with our dogs but we did order take our from Caruso's Italian Restaurant and it was great and only 5 minutes away so still very hot when we arrived back to the house. We would highly recommend it and of course staying at the Birdhouse.

Work Retreat Play
Staying on a mini farm, surrounded by rolling pastures, chickens, two mini donkeys, and an emu named Ferrari was good for the soul. The cottage was perfect for work, and taking breaks to say hello to the donkeys made the time fly. Arriving to homemade blueberry scones and a dozen farm fresh eggs was lovely! We purchased our meals for the weekend at Central Market, and enjoyed Lancaster and Columbia as much as our short stay would allow. We hope to return, if only to see how big the frolicking calves from the farm next door get. Thank you Carol and Pete for envisioning a sweet little compound of magical and well-appointed cottages, and opening it to guests.

35th Wedding Anniversary
The property was just as the pictures showed. The owners brought us fresh made scones when we arrived, which were delicious. The house was absolutely perfect for our stay. We will be planning another visit. Thank you so much!

The perfect stay!
Other than the constant sound of gunfire from a nearby shooting range, our stay at Carol and Pete’s “bird house” was absolutely wonderful- clean, well accommodated, and friendly with delicious blueberry scones and fresh farm eggs. We loved the roosters and cows!

Wonderful Spot
A lovely setting amid the beautiful PA rolling farmlands. And loved the presence of the chickens, donkeys and the emu on the property. The cabin is clean and wonderful and just as pictured (except I don’t believe the beautiful shower is captured in the photos). It turned cold that week so we weren’t able to enjoy the outside space as much but look forward to a return stay in the summer!

Charming Cottage
Comfortable, clean, charming cottage. Everything good you have read in past reviews is true. We arrived during the time of poor air quality due to the Canada fires so had to adjust our exploration of the area to inside attractions and we found much to do. Carol and Phil were always available to support our stay and the blueberry scones are superb. Farm fresh eggs made a wonderful frittata. The cottage shows the knowledge of a great host, interior design and expert construction. Then outdoor patio is lovely from early morning to sunset. Great place.

Loved The Bird House
The cottage was anazi g! We stayed a long weekend and took our two dogs. Carol and Pete take great care of the human and furry guests. From fresh flowers on the table to warm sco es personally delivered to treats for the dogs that mi e loved. This is located in a perfe t area. 30 minutes max to everythi g we wanted to do. Antique stores in Columbia were great and somethi g to do on Sunday. We loved our morning coffee on the patio by the fireplace with the dogs abd and then eveni gs out there were just as nice. All the farm animals were a plus and m
My husband was right at home. The fresh eggs were great! We definitely will stay here again when returning to Amish country. It was our first time here.

Private and Peaceful!
My husband and I enjoyed a long weekend at Carol and Pete’s cottage. The entire place is beautifully constructed and tastefully decorated. The bed was so comfortable, along with custom kitchen cabinetry, farm table, cathedral ceilings, comfortable living room and a spacious bathroom with a modern walk in shower. The outdoor living space was truly an experience with rusty window frames to highlight the beautiful scenery. Hearing the roosters and birds just added to the overall experience. We enjoyed our visit to Lancaster and a beautiful walk on the Northwest River Trail to see the Conoy White Cliffs. We suggest driving to Bainbridge, parking in lot, and walking the trail to Conoy (to and from is 3.5 miles). Carol and Pete couldn’t have been more gracious and were always reachable if we needed anything.
We will definitely be returning for another peaceful getaway! Thank you, Carol and Pete!

Pictures don't do justice!
We have stayed at dozens of vrbos, usually about 4 or 5 per year. This place was completely perfect in every way! Owners are so sweet and pay attention to every single detail. Everything was amazing, the weather was not on our side as it rained the whole time. The courtyard reminds me of an Italian villa, it was beautiful, my favorite spot. Loved the animals so much! Thank you for a spectacular weekend, and we are still dreaming of those scones, by the way....

Return visitor
We came back for another day at this sweet little cottage. Five stars the first time and somehow even better the next. We love exploring the property and going down to the river nearby. The fenced in hard for the dogs is ideal, and we love the patio fireplace. The eggs and scones are such a treat, and Carol and Pete could not be more gracious. You can feel yourself relax as soon as you drive onto the property. We'll be back!
