We had an excellent stay at Mary Jo’s place in Lancaster. She’s an amazing and incredibly helpful host who made us feel very welcome. One of the biggest perks was having our own parking spot, super convenient and made things so much easier.The home itself has a lot of charm, but it’s definitely very old. The stairs are steep and the spaces can be quite narrow, so I wouldn’t recommend it for families with small children or anyone with mobility issues. Also, keep in mind that there’s just one bathroom, so I’d hesitate to bring more than four people.Overall, though, it was a great experience and a lovely place to stay!

Great location and home for friends to get together

I booked this place for my friend and I to get together and have a girls weekend. It was perfect for us. We parked our cars Friday night & walked to dinner at Lancaster Brewing that night. And then into downtown Saturday for shopping and drinks. We walked to dinner top.

Nice place

Pleasant stay. 3rd floor loft was very warm even with ac running but that's the inherent nature of old houses. Kitchen was very nice, living room was comfortable. 6 year old has nice stay in room with bunk beds, 70 year old grandfather comfortable in 2nd floor main bedroom. Sent a message to host via Vrbo app Wednesday before a Saturday stay and host did not respond at all. Parking is located behind house in Fulton St. Was advised of parking location prior to arrival and was fine once we found it, but would suggest using a Fulton St gps address if you leave property and return later so you don't need to circle block.

Perfect location

This property is in the perfect location. We walked to a grocery store, restaurant, and could have walked to the center market but we were concerned we would buy too much to carry. The off street parking was a huge plus. The owners were super easy to reach. We would rent from this homeowner again.

Convenient and cute

The property was conveniently located in historic downtown Lancaster. Walking distance to several restaurants and shops. And it was nice to have our own designated parking space. Just know this property does have stairs. That was not a problem for us though. Everything was neat and clean. Would definitely stay here again. The only little issue we had was when we got there, it took us several tries to get the little combination lock box open to get the house key out. Tried calling the owner twice with no response. Finally got it open but not before starting to panic a little. But after that, everything was great.

Fit our needs

It’s a good location to set up your base camp when in the Lancaster area. Located within city limits with a small seven eleven type store a block away. A designated parking space in the rear made things easier as well. This is an older home which means it’s smaller so the stairs may be a little tight but that wasn’t a real problem. I’m 6’3” so there was some ducking on my part. You could walk to the science museum if you wanted but a drive to the central market might be best. Some light foot traffic in the evening but not enough to disrupt our stay. The home offered everything we required as traveling with a pre teen can be challenging and I enjoyed just having room to spread out; something you can’t do in a hotel room. Full size fridge allowed us to bring what we needed but waves places a grocery store less than a mile away. We could have stocked up while there but bringing what we wanted was easier. Our daughter really enjoyed being on the third floor , her New York loft experience as she put it. Overall it was a good experience

Beware the double booking

Two months after we booked a weekend here in September of 2022, the owner contacted me apologizing that her “calendar’s didn’t sync” and someone booked the property a few days before us. Okay, mistakes happen…Before I even replied, she messaged me again that she got the other people to cancel and our reservation was good. Had a decent stay, although someone feeds stray cats in the back and it smells like cat pee. Fast forward to 2023, booked the property again. Two months after we booked it she messages me with the same story about her “calendar’s not syncing” except this time she says her sister in law has some other properties that might be available. When I followed up with her I pointed out how it seemed odd that she claimed to have the same issue the year before but also asked about her other recommended solutions…She ghosted me! Never answered me again! I had to call VRBO and get a refund. From what I gather, she has her properties on her own website as well as VRBO. If someone books there she doesn’t have to pay any fees or if someone books for more days she just cancels your reservation. Very dishonest owner. Plus, she waited 2 months to do this, ensuring that my family and I couldn’t find a similar property. You have been warned!
