Beautiful Romantic Getaway VRBO
Enjoyed a long weekend in the River Rock Room at the Muse House. It was tucked away in the hills of Amish Country. Their was SOOO Much in the room to do that we cancelled a museum trip to just relax in the room. The jacuzzi tub was a huge hit and the gas firepit was so relaxing to sit by and enjoy a glass of wine. The bed was a little firmer than I am used to but never had any issues with my back. We loved that coffee was provided, cable tv was available (not that we watched much) and so many other items in the room. Rick was fabulous to work with. He was so kind as to provide and electrical outlet for our EV so we could charge it while relaxing in the room. We wanted to finish reading all the comments left by previous guests but there so many that we didn't even finish 1 book. So many folks getting away for Anniversary trips and we added to it ourselves. It was a great place to reflect upon our 30 years of marriage.

Just Stay Here
We came in Friday night for a wedding Saturday and had to leave Sunday morning, but the property is amazing. The notes on the round river rocks were a nice touch and my wife loved the tub and heated bathroom floor (this stay probably cost us more for our upcoming bathroom remodel). We would've liked to stay longer and explore the horse farm and some of the other things Lancaster has available. Don't hesitate to book.

Serene Retreat
We needed a night of respite and the hosts and property provided for any need you may have and any mood you arrive in. We took incredible sunset and morning walks, beauitful and noteworthy sights all within a mile walking distance. We never even heard the hosts or anyone else on the property. It was SO quiet and peaceful. The property glows at sunset and its pretty magical to spend time outside in the evening. Directions and suggestions are here for everything you could anticipate, so arriving without an agenda is a lovely option too. The bath is a treat and everything you could need to treat yourself is there if you haven't brought it. I wish I had booked another night just to enjoy the art and literature in the room. What an absolute gem of a stay. Thank you.

Awesome Couple Getaway!
We loved this Lancaster stay. Great location to access all Lancaster and surrounding areas have to offer. Pictures do not do it justice very well stocked with everything you need to have a great stay. Lots of room and comforts. Located in beautiful country with food and lots of things to do very close. Easy to park and access. Very peaceful in the area also. Great hosts that respected our privacy but also made sure everything was there to make our stay great. You will not go wrong with this stay. awesome for a couples get away and to unwind. Thanks for a great stay and hope to be back.

River Rock Room
My wife and I recently stayed for one night at the River Rock Room. Our host Rick provided great communication before, during, and after our stay. The location is across the street from a horse farm with a walking path, but also only about 20 minutes from Lancaster and it's attractions. The bed was comfortable, and had extra pillows and blankets if needed. The hot tub was relaxing. There are books, dvds, games, and a few tv services. The extra goodies include bath salts, scented soaps, tea, coffee, and chocolates to name a few. Overall, we feel that Rick put plenty of thought and effort into his Vrbo. Thanks!

A relaxing weekend getaway!
The room is huge with a lot of electronic kitchen gadgets to make up for not having a stove. I would say this stay is better suited for relaxation than a place to cook and stay in which was fine for us since we like to explore new cities to eat everywhere outside. Loved all the little notes on the rocks and cutouts guiding us around the house and the book of recommendations! We came for our wedding venue food tasting and wanted to scout areas for our guests to eat and check out for those who plan to stay after the wedding for a day or two. The blue book gave us many ideas and recommendations on great places to eat, sight see and what to be aware about when visiting. The bed was comfy and large while the bathroom was our favorite thing about the place. A great relaxing hotub for 2 and interesting shower layout! No curtains so make sure to dry the floor after showering, but the heated floor makes that pretty easy. The home is close to an alpaca farm, nice hiking areas and 15 minutes away from the center city of Lancaster. Everything was close and comfortable but drive safe since you might run into a buggy or two at night! The only recommendation i would have is slightly dusting some of the cobwebs away but personally i did not mind, gave the place some character haha. Would definitely come back. Jen&Jose

Cool tucked away spot
OK so everything you read about in the listing is accurate. The location is awesome, the place has everything that you need, and the hosts are 1000% amazing! But, if you plan on cooking, and not just a simple reheat, then this isn't your place. It's not really set up for that. It's basically a giant room with everything you can ask for, but not so much set up for cooking. If your good with that, and you want to stay in Lancaster, away from the crowds, don't feel like dealing with the owners, want your own entrance, want your privacy, then this is 100% the place for you. It's connected to owners residence, but you will not hear them, or even see them if you don't want to. I am EXTREMELY happy with the hosts, very responsive with any question I had, and more then happy to help. May I'm biased cause I LOVE Lancaster, but this was an ideal location if you didn't want in the city, have 1 or 2 ppl, need a clean, comfortable place to crash, then this is the place. Right on target with value/price. Would definitely come back
