About this property

Historic Farmhouse on 44 acres with chickens, sheep and a steer.

Experience staying in a 200+ year old stone house on a 44 acre farm with a rippling creek to unwind beside. There are two houses, two barns, a shop and other miscellaneous buildings on the property. The host family lives in the second house. So if you need anything we are just a few steps away and glad to help! A short walk across an historical stone bridge will take you to the Green Dragon Farmers Market (open Fridays only) where you will experience many different cultures all together at one place.
This house was built many years ago when they often made the steps to the stairs short and steep. This house is no exception. If you have trouble with steep stairs this may not be the most practical place for you.
During your stay at this farm stay, you're just a quick walk from The Green Dragon Farmer's Market. Features include laundry facilities.
  • Free WiFi
  • Amenities include laundry facilities
  • Onsite recreation includes a playground
  • Just a 4-minute walk from The Green Dragon Farmer's Market and 5 minutes by car from Eicher Arts Center
As a guest of this farm stay, you'll find barbecue grills, a garden, and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Ephrata farm stay is smoke free.

Wonderful stay!

We had an amazing three-night stay at Tonya's guest house on her farm. The house was spotless and charmingly decorated, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and some staples, making it incredibly convenient for a family. Tonya was readily available and responsive whenever we needed assistance. Being on the farm, surrounded by cows, sheep, and a horse, was a highlight—our daughter absolutely loved it! We highly recommend staying here and would definitely return.

Amazing experience

I stayed here with my family (husband and three kids - 5,3, 1.5yr old) and it was absolutely perfect. We arrived late the first night and our hostess was so gracious to set up the pack and play before our arrival. The family and their children were so friendly and it was the perfect balance of alone time and getting personal introductions to puppies, sheep and their steer. It was an amazing stay and I think my kids will remember the time spent on the farm more than the Dutch Wonderland part of the trip! It was wonderful and would love to go back!! 10/10

Immaculate and lovely stone house. It is one of the most beautiful and peaceful settings. Love being at a working farm. The old cottage has been wonderfully updated, keeping the charm. Very kind and attentive owners. Will definitely stay there again.
