I come to Lancaster every year to visit, and Leola Meadow View Guesthouse is by far the best place I have stayed. It is a beautiful, perfect little separate apartment with all your home’s amenities needed including Esther’s special touches. I hesitate reviewing this because I don’t want my spot taken for next year! 😆 My 86 year old mother also came and it was wonderful with no steps and a walk in shower (no tub) and bars to hold onto. Immaculate, peaceful, and tranquil are other adjectives to describe this delightful getaway.

From Esther's welcoming hugs, the smell of freshly baked apple cake, and the lovely setting, we knew this was going to be a perfect place for us. We felt like we had a home to come to after each busy day. Esther's warm hospitality, the lovely and spotlessly clean cottage, the delicious home made yogurt plus everything we needed for a wonderful breakfast, and the most peaceful setting...it was all so perfect! The location is great- out in the peaceful countryside, but only 20 minutes from Lancaster, and even closer to many Amish stores and restaurants. It was truly a blessing to stay here for 5 nights, and we hope to stay here again soon.

We have stayed in motels, hotels, and resorts in Lancaster, so we wanted to try something different. What an unexpected pleasure. We met Esther and she showed us around. The cottage is perfect. We actually got a great cell signal, even out there. When they say your breakfast is self serve it is because your fridge is stocked with homemade yogurt, cinnamon rolls, eggs, milk, apple juice, butter, cereals, poptarts, keurig coffee and tea, and lots of love. The bed, couch, and recliner were all comfortable. It was so different not hearing a television, rather we heard roosters and the sound of nature every morning. We tried hard getting back to our room before dark because we didn't want to drive on those narrow, lightless roads at night. /which means we ate around 5 every night got back to Leola Meadow View around 7 every night. We sat at the dinner table and payed board games. Ed and Esther had a couple of games there as well. Thank you for such a great time and being wonderful hosts.

Thank you for your thoughtful review. We agree that the Leola Meadow View Guesthouse is a wonderful place to stay!

We loved staying at Esther's cottage with our 2 boys! The cottage is superclean and very nicely decorated. Esther is a wonderful and very helpful host. Our boys loved playing on the trampoline and playing soccer in the grass next to the house. My husband and I really enjoyed the great view over the fields and the sun set. Very relaxing stay! I can really recommend it!

Thank you for your review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at the Leola Meadow View Guesthouse!

Ed & Esther’s place was absolutely amazing! Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. This was our first time ever staying at a BnB  and we couldn’t have been happier except to have been able to stay longer and enjoy the area more! The place was very clean and well kept! Esther was there to greet us and show us everything we needed ..... not to mention there was food in cabinet and fridge for us and fresh baked cookies!!!! I hope we can make it back again one day to have more time to look around and spend w the animals! Loved the area! What a beautiful place! Thanks so much again for having us!
