About this property

Lancaster Dog-friendly Farmhouse convenient with epic views

The 1860s Waterfall Retreat sits on a beautiful one acre lot with waterfall views & access to Flory Park via a picturesque footbridge - perfect for special pictures and memories. The park inspires you to fish Mill Creek, play in the playground, ride bikes, boat down the creek (be careful of the dam) and has a great dog-friendly trail that provides clean up stations. The 1860s Waterfall Retreat is constructed of old Lancaster brick and is located in the historic town of Fertility. Though updated, the home is best for older mature children due to unique furnishings and natural age aspects of the home's construction, but plenty of younger families have read the rules and really enjoyed the property. We have a convenient location to all things in downtown Lancaster (Route 30 & Lincoln Highway) minutes to outlets, Sight & Sound, American Music Theatre, 10 miles to Spooky Nook Sports, and located in Amish Country. The house has two separate living levels (duplex) and the old home layout with the two original front doors, transom windows and original white pine wood floors. The beautiful views of the waterfall through the massive sliding doors or from the porch are a highlight. The unique 2 unit layout was created in the early 1900s to accommodate a live in caretaker for one of the early owners of this old house. The layout provides the perfect opportunity to plan a retreat with family, friends, possibly even in laws and still have your own space to get away within the home. The bedrooms are cozy and charming, while the 3 living areas and 2 kitchens boast a very comfortable space for entertaining and socializing. The 1860s Waterfall Retreat looks forward to being your home base, as you will be able to relax on the property, explore PA Dutch Country, go antiquing, outlet shopping, wine tasting, brewery hopping, etc. and enjoy all that the property and area has to offer. Please note that the convenient location of this home is also the historical Strasburg Turnpike and still connects Lancaster to Strasburg; therefore, it is a very busy road and you are able to hear the traffic noise. If you are a light sleeper, please feel free to bring noise cancelling headphones, use a white noise app or use earplugs provided in the bathrooms. I look forward to sharing the unique history of this property with you and helping you love Lancaster as much as I do.

Fantastic Weekend
We were in town for a dance competition and rented this wonderful home! The house had everything you could need and had plenty of space! The home was very clean and welcoming! The pictures do not do it justice!!! The outlets are only minutes down the road as well as grocery stores etc. The owners are super nice and we will absolutely stay at this property again!!!

About the host

Lancaster has always had a special place in my heart with its rich culture, history, great food but mostly because Lancaster is where my Grandparents lived! With my current career being a USA international field hockey umpire, it only made sense to buy a property near family and the USA Home of Hockey at Spooky Nook Sports. Recently, I became a volunteer firefighter, so if you are interested, I am always more than happy to take folks on a tour of our fire company - we are famous for our orange apparatus. I have owned this home since 2015 and am constantly updating it while also trying to preserve its charm.

Why they chose this property

What makes this property unique

This property is close by to Amish country, Sight & Sound, Lancaster Central Market & Downtown, Tanger and Rockvale Outlet shopping, Dutch Wonderland, or you can just enjoy the backyard waterfall, fire pit and local park! The balance that this house provides between the convenience of the location and the unique country history of Fertility, PA is the perfect blend for today's world. The sunrise views are priceless, and we strive to provide you all the amenities of home that you could want - let us know if you have a special request. Words are not able to describe the amazing sound of the waterfall, especially as you gather by the fire pit with friends and family in the evening. Feel free to pick some raspberries on the property or eat a few of the pears from the pear tree. The first harvest of applesauce from the apple trees was absolutely wonderful, but the trees are a bit finicky from year to year! The beauty of fall and especially the bright yellow leaves on the unique Gingko tree central to the backyard is also a favorite of ours. Our neighbor spotted bald eagles soaring above the creek, and I have spotted a buck crossing the dam and running through the park. The shopping is pretty amazing here as well, whether it's a bargain at a flea market, mud sale or auction or heading to the outlets that you enjoy - we have it all in Lancaster County. I have my favorites, but this home is only 500 yards from the Old Mille House Shoppes that features beautiful primitive and country decor - the quilts on the 2nd floor are from there along with many pieces of decor. I hope you will be able to share with me some of your favorite views and photos from your stay or maybe even introduce me to something new in Lancaster County.
