1840 PA Farmhouse & Cottage on 83 Acres w/ Pool

We invite you to stay in our comfortably and tastefully decorated 1840 four-bedroom PA German Farmhouse and cozy Smokehouse Guest Cottage with fireplace and loft nestled in the middle of 83 acres of rolling Pennsylvania countryside. The Pennsylvania Farmhouse is a simple log frame structure with white German siding with two front doors, typical architecture for the mid-1800's. The cottage, just steps away from the farmhouse, has a large central stone fireplace and was used as a smokehouse and summer kitchen in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The property has a beautifully fenced in-ground pool, Pennsylvania bank barn, 3-car garage, lovely views, and privacy. Our farmhouse is registered as a Civil War Building (built prior to 1863) and has received recognition from Historic Gettysburg-Adams County, Inc. as a home restored to its original 1840's era. World-wide travelers will find many French and European touches, including original art, classic and contemporary books, and handmade pottery in both the farmhouse and cottage.

Sleeping Accommodations:

PA German Farmhouse (sleeps up to 8): Our beautifully simple and classicly historic PA German farmhouse has four bedrooms on the second floor, three with a double bed and one with two single beds. All are furnished with antique dressers, desks, and lovely bed linens.

Pre-Civil War-era Smokehouse Guest Cottage (sleeps 2-4): This cozy country cottage has one loft-style bedroom with double bed on the second floor and a comfortable pull-out sofa bed (double bed, which sleeps 2) in the living room. The huge fireplace in the center of the cottage was once used by early farmers to smoke meats. It was later used as a summer kitchen to cook and can fruits and vegetables that were grown on the property.

Writer's Studio: We also have a small Writer's Studio on the property which has 2 twin beds and is available at the cost of $50/night if you have more than 12 people.

Situated in beautiful Adams County, we are located approximately three miles from the historic colonial town of East Berlin, PA (population: 1,400), founded by Pennsylvania Germans in 1764 and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.

Our farm is an excellent base for relaxation and exploration of nearby Gettysburg (25 minutes), Hershey (45 minutes), Lancaster's PA Dutch Country (less than 1 hour), Baltimore, Philadelphia, Washington DC, and New York.

Small Weddings welcome (50 people or less). We would be glad to give recommendations for tent rental, caterers, photographers, and videographers.
Our property is perfect for family reunions, friends' get-togethers, and girlfriend getaways.
