About this house rental

Shopping, restaurant grazing & moonlight swims in the heart of the Lancaster social scene w easy access to Rt 30. This distinctive Lancaster City Musser Park area property is truly one of a kind. Featured on Lancaster Artwalk, this one-story home captures the eye with a Picasso painting on the front and an inspiration wall on the side. This recently renovated one-story open concept detached house has a wood burning fireplace, an inground pool, front yard firepit and 2 off-street parking spaces.

Walking inside, you’ll be delighted to find a gourmet kitchen with new stainless-steel appliances including a 5 burner gas range with double convection oven at the bar-height island. The open concept great room boasts a wood burning fireplace, built-in reading nook and dining. In the summer, you have a breathtaking view of the pool throughout. Be sure to greet the knight in shining armor and his Viking princess! There are 3 enticing bedrooms. The King bedroom suite includes a large screen Roku TV, walk-thru closet plus a spa-like bath featuring a double walk-in shower, jetted tub and dual vanities with built-in make-up table. The huge Queen bedroom has a game table, tons of closet space & a Roku TV. The third Family Fun Bunk bedroom has a double bed + bunk beds with "paper" lantern string lights and Roku TV. Can you read the word painted by local traveling graffiti artist Ramon Trevino beside the double bed? The second bath includes a library, pool lockers, double vanity and access to the utility room with a new washer and dryer. Central air conditioning and high ceilings add to an already amazing home. By the way, each bedroom has an alarm clock with cell phone chargers – just bring the cords that fit your phones. And did you notice that all of our TVs are Roku which offer many streaming options? We also provide Disney+ and Prime movies for even more entertainment!

The swimming pool is an approx 19'x38' rectangle that tapers from 4' in shallow end to 7-8' deep with underwater lighting. There's a 2' walkway around pool. Rear door opens within 2' of pool. Please note it's a very narrow sidewalk around the pool and no pool fence so it’s not suitable for small children. Pool & rear patio are surrounded by a seasonal flowering vine covered privacy fence.

We have a rental agreement that you must agree to in order to stay at our property. If you book instantly, you must sign and return your rental agreement within 4 hours in order to keep your reservation.

***This is a non-smoking property.***

Due to our daughter's severe allergies, absolutely no pets are allowed. Pets trigger convulsive seizures.

We provide unscented Laundry Products. Due to guest allergies to scented laundry products, only unscented laundry detergent, unscented non chlorine bleach, unscented fabric softener and unscented dryer sheets are permitted to be used in our washer and dryer. Scented laundry products leave a residue in the laundry appliances and linens which can cause an anaphylactic reaction. If you break this House Rule, there is an additional $500 Cleaning Fee if we smell scented Laundry Product residue in the washer, dryer or on the linens and towels.

Our home is dynamic and changes with the seasons or when I find new treasures! Please note we change out furniture, decor, accessories, etc. from time to time which may not be pictured and items pictured may be removed.

We've had to make some changes due to Covid-19. We are saddened by these changes. It’s become a different world. Because of the virus:
1. We have removed all of the condiments, food & beverage items from the pantry and refrigerator.
2. We have removed the bedroom pillows, blankets and throws. You will need to bring your own.
3. Early check-ins or late check outs are not permitted because of the cleaning time required. Check in is between 5 to 8 pm.
4. All guests must be symptom free for 14 days prior to arrival.
Regardless of the precautions, we will not be able to guarantee a virus free environment. Unfortunately for all of us, including our family, you venture out into the world at your own risk.

Pool Heater Option:
We are excited to announce that we have recently installed a swimming pool heater for your enjoyment! The pool can be set to a comfortable 85 degrees. An additional charge of $100 per day + tax covers the heater's cost. We hope this enhancement will make your stay even more enjoyable if you use it!

Barbara and Art were excellent hosts. They thought of many little things to make your stay more enjoyable, going above and beyond. The house was in an excellent location with short distances to many vacation sites. The house was pristine as well as the pool. TV in the living room and every bedroom was a real treat since usually only the master has a TV. Kitchen was extremely well stocked. While it is in the city, it is very private with secuded seating spots in both the front and back yard. Highly recommend this vacation home

We had an amazing time and did not do hardly any of the things we wanted to. That was only due to the heat, which no one could have predicted. The pool was definitely used that week! Barb was amazing! Felt more like a friend than a host! We did visit the gravesite near the property which has some famous people there and one with a legend of Lancaster. We did visit lock 12 which was nice and there is a 25 foot waterfall I believe Mill Creek Trail. It's right by lock trail. You have to look up how to get to it, it's father down the rock road and the trail is on the left right past a little bridge marked with blue rectangle. Some people were there sifting for gold flakes. The only downfall was the heat..other than that this place was perfect!

The house was very clean and as described. We really enjoyed the pool area. The pastries were a nice touch, and Barb was very clear in communications. Highly recommend.
