Description
Circa 1759. Early German Mennonite settlers built this sandstone farmhouse in the mid-eighteenth century. It graces seven scenic acres amidst Amish countryside. You'll feel relaxed and pampered as you sink into the comfort of historic home. Guest bedrooms and a suite boast random-width plank floors, locally handcrafted period-authentic furniture, sleigh or pencil post beds and antique Shaker peg boards. Enjoy a hearty country breakfast in the homestead's original smokehouse with brick floor, ceiling beams and an open hearth fireplace. Start the day with fresh juices, homemade pastries and jams, a hot entree and fruits grown on-site. Stroll by the flower and water gardens, or walk the nearby nature trails. An abundance of outlet and antique malls as well as historical and cultural sites are minutes away.Location: Country.
