Lancaster County Hospitality
This comfortable ranch house, surrounded by a grassy fenced-in 1 acre yard, was built in 1959 and has been lovingly preserved and updated. The open floor plan provides a new fully-stocked kitchen open to the large dining area and stylish living room. The three bedrooms are comfortably furnished with 1 king bed, 2 queen beds, and 4 twin beds so that, and even a dedicated study area. The wide-open finished basement is stocked with ping-pong, air-hockey, board games plenty of seating, and even hide-a-bed couches for more sleeping space!
Meals Together
Sitting down together and sharing food is an important part of the human experience, a time of vulnerablility, openness, and community building. Meals together are an important feature of Lancaster County culture.
We know the importance of mealtimes together, from daily family dinner, to regular church potlucks, to community dinners at the firehall. We have provided Ravenwood with a table that seats 10, along with extra seating at the kitchen bar, and extra folding table and chairs.
IN LOVE WITH LANCASTER COUNTY
We are Donald and Sarah, your hosts. Donald was raised in Lancaster County, and Sarah joined him here when we were married and fell in love with Lancaster right away! After spending a dozen years living in New York and then Michigan and having accumulated 11 children, we finally returned home to settle where we started our lives together: our beloved Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Every time we drive the curves through these hills and fields, we thank God we get to live here. And we think you will see why as you visit.
