About this property

This rental is situated on a peaceful, Lancaster County family farm tucked away from the noise and busyness of everyday life. You would be staying in a newly remodeled two-story "summerhouse" that includes modern conveniences without losing the character of the 18th century charm. It is a private home that includes a king bedroom, full bath and loft area on the second floor; a queen bedroom and half-bath on the first floor along with a living/eat-in kitchen area. The summerhouse is located next to the farm house.

You decide how you want to spend your day - "Rest, Relax, Renew". Enjoy fishing in the pond (catch and release, bring your own supplies) while heifers, sheep and goats graze nearby or take a walk down the long farm lane. Relax on the side porch, sip your tea or coffee while overlooking the countryside. Many other amenities listed below.

One adult must be over the age of 25.

Local attractions include Hersheypark, Lancaster County Amish Country, Mt. Gretna, Gettysburg, Spooky Nook Sports Complex, bike trails along the Conewago Trail, and much more. Minutes from grocery stores, parks, and medical facility and Elizabethtown College. Convenient to Airport and minutes from several unique wedding venues including Ironstone Ranch, Harvest View Barn and Moonstone Manor.

We look forward to making this a memorable stay for you.

Lovely stay on peaceful farm

We had a great stay over the Easter weekend. The cottage is about 20 min from Hershey Park which is where the kids wanted to visit - they loved making their own chocolate and all the rides in the amusement park. The cottage provided a calm and peaceful stay. There are two bedrooms sleeping 4 people, and the other two beds are on the landing near the main bedroom - most suited for kids. We had a lovely stay, thank you for the hospitality.

Great Little Getaway and We Will Be Back

Mim and Clair's summerhouse cottage was more than expected. The farm setting in Lancaster County offers unique place to relax and unwind. Both Mim and Clair were great hosts and were very proud of the property and its family heritage. One concern I had originally was the proximity to the main house, but it was not an issue at all. While Mim and Clair were there to answer any questions about the property or local areas of interest, we felt right at home and had our privacy. I would certainly recommend this property, especially to families of Elizabethtown College students, if you needed to spend some time in the area. We will most certainly be back.

Clean, Quiet, Peaceful

This is our fifth time staying here I believe and it’s wonderful every time. Every detail of the house obviously took a lot of work and loving care. It shows the charm of the original building but has modern comforts. We even love the peaceful colors that were chosen to decorate with! The outside is just as wonderful. We love visiting the farm animals and walking around the property. Although it feels secluded, there are several grocery stores, restaurants, etc within 10 minutes and Hershey is only about 20 minutes away. We can’t wait to come back next year!

First vacation in PA

The property was perfect. You feel like you’re tucked away in farm country but have everything available to you 10-15 minutes away. The house was great and the beds comfortable. The back porch was nice to sit on as you drank your morning coffee. It was a nice, relaxing stay at the house. Would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting PA

About the host

Hosted by Mim

We were high school sweethearts and married soon after graduation. We have enjoyed living on the farm ever since and it was a great place to raise our 3 children, all of whom are now married.

The farm's lineage has been traced to a deed signed in 1750 and we're passionate about the family farm as an integral part of the fabric of our nation. We really see ourselves as stewards. We have such a connection to the farmland, and that in turn translates into a God connection. We value where the land came from. There's no more being created, and it as a treasure. We have a responsibility to it.

As a family-owned and operated business, the Miller Homestead, up until 2012, was a dairy farm. We grow corn, hay, soybeans and barley.

We enjoy traveling and often stay in vacation rentals in out of the way places.

The Miller Homestead is located within easy highway access to Lancaster, York, Harrisburg or Philadelphia, providing many options for day trips.

What makes this property unique

The farm is in a quiet location yet easy access to stores and attractions. We are situated close to bicycle and walking trails. The farm pond is available for "catch and release"
fishing. A tranquil one mile long farm lane lends itself to taking off-road walks.
