Absolutely Perfect
We come to Lancaster for Sight and Sound every year. We’ve stayed a few places, but this was by far the best. The location was conveniently located near restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and the theater. It was exceptionally clean. The beds were impressively comfortable. The kitchen was well-stocked with supplies and some basic pantry items. The rooms were spacious. Lastly, the hospitality was unmatched. We enjoyed getting to know the owners’ parents who live next door as well. They are some of the sweetest people you’ll meet. When we come back next year, we plan to stay here if it’s available.

WONDERFUL STAY!!
This was a wonderful experience for us. The house was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, and made you feel like you were coming home whenever arriving back after an outing. The cookies were AMAZING , and those along with the welcoming note were an added joy to this place. Definitely will be looking to book in the future.

This is one of the best properties I've ever stayed in. The owner John and his parents were so obliging. They left us delicious whoopie pies and were so available to help us when we first arrived. The house is large, clean, and comfortable. Wr loved sitting around the dining table chatting and just enjoying our time together. Will definitely be back if I can.

We’re a family of 5 siblings. One brother and five sisters. Ages 59-75. This year we chose Lancaster as our two night getaway (siblings only) and fell in love with this beautiful house! The cleanest rental we have ever experienced, well organized and every necessity you can think of is provided! Not to mention a delicious baked good waiting for us! The location was ideal and the home was utterly perfect for the 5 of us. Lots of memories, laughs and love were shared and we will be back next year as we’ve found a gem!

Absolutely perfect Lancaster home!
We absolutely loved our stay in this home. Every single detail was carefully thought out and there was nothing that we could have wanted. We thoroughly enjoyed the spacious house, huge backyard, seeing the horses and getting to meet the owner's parents. The house was immaculately clean and decorated with so many special touches, including the delicious woopie pies. The owners/property manager replied to messages extremely fast. We look forward to staying again on our next trip to the area and will definitely recommend to others.

Wonderful Weekend
We really enjoyed our weekend at the property. There was a small issue with our code not working on the door when we arrived, but this was quickly resolved by the property manager and later on, the property owner dropped by to ensure we were settling in okay and to personally apologize for the inconvenience. We really enjoyed the personal touches and would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a nice, quiet property with great amenities and responsive management.

Sight and Sound Trip
The house was a great place and was very convenient to Sight and Sound and local shopping areas. We enjoyed our stay immensely! The only reason I am giving 4 stars for the accuracy of the online listing is that the house was attached to another house and the address on the listing isn’t for this property, it is for the house next door.

GIRLS GET AWAY RETREAT
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful stay at the Esh Country Guesthouse. We were welcomed by some delicious homemade whoppie pies. Thank you Verna. This was the perfect place. It is close to many attractions, farms... one up the road called Breezy Valley Farm where we found fresh veggies, free range eggs, fresh yogurt, milk, smoothies and really yummy fiber balls. There are many shops, and restaurants to choose from. The home lacked nothing. It was super clean and very spacious. It is right on a main road, so you can hear vehicles passing by, however; I personally had no problems with that because I found my bed to be very comfy and I had a great night sleep. Verna was quick to respond to any questions I had and helpful in many ways. I can't wait to visit again with a larger group and enjoy the outdoor area, which we didn't get to use this time around.
