Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Ephrata Township

Amazing location, super unique neighborhood. Quaint, clean and full of character!

We stayed here in mid May to do some biking along the Northwest Lancaster County River Trail. The trail head parking is just a couple minutes drive away, or you can just start from here if you don’t mind biking up a hill to get back. We also did a day trip to the historic Gettysburg battlefield just west of here. The house was very clean, and the kitchen and coffee area fully stocked. It is located in a relatively quiet neighborhood and pretty far from the train tracks. The host states that ear plugs are available in case of train or firehouse noise, but we never actually heard a train during our three night stay. There was also a nice enclosed back porch where we stored some of our bikes overnight. We did run into an issue when we first arrived. One of the sheets was missing from a pullout bed, but the host responded immediately and the problem was fixed within our first hour there. We would definitely stay here again if we ever come back for more biking!

House was clean and had everything we needed. Owner was pleasant and communicated well. Would stay again.

The house was perfect for our family’s needs while we were in the area for my son’s wedding. The house was clean. The property and home were lovely. There was plenty of room our whole family plus the groomsmen visited for breakfast. Everyone who entered shared “I could live here!”

The house is cute and well appointed. The basement game room is wonderful (it’s why we booked this house). Nice washer and dryer, basically has everything you need! Karl answers messages promptly and/or calls to help or answer questions. The patio is a wonderful spot to enjoy the morning. My ONLY complaint is the surprise we got upon arrival to see a large auction house on the property. Auctions are every other Monday. We were gone the day of the auction, so we did not see how much traffic there was for the auction itself. There was a bit of light traffic to and from the auction house the week we were there for pickups. The auto shop next door wasn’t bad, either, as far as noise goes. I think it might be more typical up north for residential and commercial to be mixed like that-we were just not used to that. At the end of the day, it was fine. I just think full disclosure is best. I WOULD rent this house again.

Thank you, Michelle! We had a wonderful time!

We had a great stay at the Country Nest. We stayed for a weekend with family for Fathers Day weekend. Very easy to book, and hosts Liz and Juana were very responsive to questions. Provided clear house rules/instructions and check in was super easy, with the house just as described. We felt right at home, and we loved the country decor! The home was warm and inviting, and very clean. Appreciated the welcome basket, and flyers/info with things to do in the area. Would definitely book again for a future stay!

Paula's communication was excellent, The location was very easy to find and could even accommodate our small cargo trailer. The inside was impeccable with plenty of amenities. Every room was very comfortable and well lit. We will definitely be staying there again next year. Thank you Paula

This was the perfect place for us to stay for our 29th anniversary! I was looking for something private so that just the two of us could spend some much needed alone together! I think it was actually more beautiful in person than I thought it would be. The pool was huge! The hot was enjoyable! The firepit was perfect! The fishing was plentiful! The hiking trails were extensive! Lots to do in the several surrounding towns if you wanted. The price is a little expensive but I’ve found that for any airbnb and understand the upkeep it must take for all the amenities alone! It will always be a cherished moment for us and can’t say enough good about it and would do it again!

We loved our stay in the cabin! They are thoughtfully designed, the beds are incredibly comfortable. The campground is quiet and relaxing, while having activities for the kids. We loved it so much we will be coming back again soon!

We had a BLAST, staying with Kyle. The place was so inviting and fun for our grandchildren…yes, fun for us as well. The beds were perfect which can’t be said of all places we’ve stayed. I wish we could have stayed longer! Kyle, keep up the great hospitality! It was beyond what we expected! Thank you for everything!

If I could give Tim’s place more than 5 stars, I would! It’s off the beaten path, but that’s what make his Place so inviting. All the amenities you could hope for! Definitely the best Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at in the States! Got to chat with Tim on my last night there and it was great. I loved the chocolate chip cookies that were presented upon our arrival. I’m looking forward to visiting his place again, if I can. My grandkids loved playing on the grounds and the dogs 🐶 enjoyed roaming around. This is a gem of a place and I 100% recommend you consider staying there. 1000 Kudos!

Cheryl’s place was great! Very cozy and comfortable. I traveled with my husband, two young kids, and our dog, and although the actual guesthouse was a little small for the four of us, having access to the yard and the deck made it feel a lot bigger. I booked the place with the hopes of the kids using the pool, but the unseasonably cold and rainy June weather made it difficult…. Although my kids still took a “cold plunge” the day we got there and had fun!! We enjoyed the outdoor porch … loved the porch swing and sitting listening to the birds. Cheryl told us about a walking trail right on their property, which we walked, and had fun exploring. The guesthouse is nestled in the woods, which was beautiful and quiet! Cheryl and her husband Jamie were personable and very responsive! If we come back to this area, we would definitely stay in Cheryl’s place again!

We absolutely loved the house, and all the history that came with it. Beautiful treasures throughout the house that we much enjoyed looking at. Lighting was fabulous. Beds were comfortable and only regret is that we didn’t book a longer stay! Short drive to Hershey and neighboring towns with lots to do! A+++

Had a great stay at Shaun's place - enjoyed the amenities and the stars that were out that night. Had a big lightning storm that night, so if that sort of thing wakes you up, bring a sleep mask because there are a couple of skylights. The hot tub and pool were great and the outdoor seating and speakers were pretty nice, too. When we left to go hiking after checkout, Shaun immediately contacted me every way he could to tell me I left my motorcycle leathers behind, which would have been a disaster for me, and at 20+ pounds and super-bulky, would have been an expensive shipping nightmare. In all, great experience.

I stayed at Shel’s for the weekend of my high school reunion. The unit I stayed in was perfect - just the right size, clean & comfortable, close to the event venue & in a beautiful location. Shel also steered me In the right direction when I was looking for a restaurant for dinner. I don’t know if I’ll ever get back to Oxford but, if I do, I know exactly where I’ll be staying

Beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Great for dogs as long as they are great with recall since it is not fenced in however my dogs enjoyed all the room the yard had to offer. Quiet, away from the busy city life and traffic but still close to food and amenities. Bathroom was super clean and updated. The room was clean and had a lot of closet space for storage of bags.

highly recommend. great space. clean and comfy. all the luxuries of home plus beautiful surroundings.

Great place for a weekend getaway! Very quiet and private with nice and new amenities. Only thing is that it got a little cold at the house (we stayed there early June) outside of the bedroom but other than that this was great!!

We had such a wonderful stay! The place was cozy, clean, and incredibly relaxing perfect for a quiet family getaway. It was also super family-friendly, which made things so much easier with our little one. The host was kind and welcoming, and my partner is still raving about the coffee/latte. We truly felt at home and would absolutely love to come back again. Highly recommend

We stayed in this Charming Stone Cottage inside the historic park, site of an iron foundry. Interesting things to see and do - History and Nature, and a covered bride on the premises. Who could ask for more? It was absolutely terrific. We had the entire grounds for dog walking. The flowers were in full bloom. We saw many birds, squirrels, and a few rabbit. There were people fishing along the waterside. The cottage was spotless, had so much room! Furniture was comfy, beds soft and nice linens. Kitchen appliances looked new. Many pots,& pans, a coffee maker, very generous provisions/ coffee, tea, sugar etc. TVs upstairs and down. We met some nice folks in the park, local people and travelers. What a lovely place. I'd absolutely revisit this AirBnb.

David’s place is AWESOME! My family enjoyed every bit of our three-night stay. We especially enjoyed the scenic backyard and the front bench is perfect for sunset. The furnitures are all new and solid. Love this place! Highly recommend.

This place has been so peaceful to stay in. The view it self is breathtaking. The place is definitely a home away from home . The drive to restaurants and stores is less than 20 min . The people are so friendly and nice. And Dave was very responsive when needed. I will be staying here again no doubts.

We are so happy to have experienced Emma and Will’s schoolhouse suite. It was incredibly peaceful, comfortable and welcoming. We would definitely come back if in the area again and recommend to anyone visiting Lancaster! Wonderful hosts and accommodations!
