About this property

Spacious Sisters House is perfect for families or girlfriends getaways.
Amish buggies clip-clop past on the road, and chimes can be heard from a nearby church. This historic structure once housed a cigar factory - and the decor reflects those by-gone days. Modern amenities are included in DVD's, TVs with Roku and Netflix, WI-FI, Dream Machines, dishwasher, washer/dryer, central A/C. The upstairs bathroom includes a one-person Jacuzzi tub.
There is easy access to the first floor queen bedroom and full bathroom with walk-in shower - great for folks that don't want to deal with stairs. Two more bedrooms are upstairs - one has a king bed and the other a queen.
The sunroom overlooks the Weaverland Valley - some of the richest farmland in Lancaster County, The Sisters House sits on a dead-end road, adjacent to the flower gardens of The Artist's Inn. A short walk will take you to the town park that includes tennis courts, basketball courts, a sand volleyball court, picnic areas and plenty of space for kite-flying.
Kitchen comes complete with your first breakfast and includes home-baked goodies from the inn and a full cookie jar. This vacation rental uses green energy - solar panels on the roof provide the electricity for the Sophie portion of this historic 200 year old structure.
Enjoy the outside as well - there is plenty of room for gathering in the covered porch. You'll find lots of seating and a hammock. You are also welcome to use the adjoining firepit area that belongs to The Arti'st's Inn - our bed and breakfast.
Terre Hill is surrounded by farms, so fresh produce is nearby. There's an organic cheese maker just down the street and Shady Maple's Farmers Market and Smorgasbord is just three miles away.
The quaint little town of Adamstown is just a ten minute drive - known as The Antiques Capital of the USA.
Bring your walking shoes and bicycles...there are nearby trails, hikes and our back roads invite you to explore on your own.

Family vacation visiting the Amish country

The house was very clean and all prepared for us to stay. Home baked apple cake and breakfast were prepared. It was delicious!! We were visiting a farm and Amish stores. All were in 10-25 min distance and good ride for us especially with the beautiful scenery. Bruce was very friendly and we would like to come back someday!

Peaceful weekend

The Sophie cottage was beautiful. It Was very peaceful and had everything we needed. The breakfast food there was a very nice touch along with the delicious cookies and Brownies. The host thought of everything. We never needed to contact them while there which was great but also would have loved to Meet them. It was nice to come back to a quiet setting. The diner downtown was Nice as was the pizza place. Everyone in town so pleasant. It was a nice weekend For myself and My daughter. Thank you Jan and Bruce

Clean and welcoming, just as advertised

The house was immaculate. In addition, the owners provided extras, such as homemade snacks and cookies and breakfast items for the next day. There was a washer and dryer, which would have been nice if we needed it.. They pretty much thought of everything and the stay very nice. There is also a quaint diner around the corner, which was a lot of fun. Highly recommend this property.

Very comfortable stay

We spent a week here. This is a beautiful property in a nice quiet and convenient location. It's in a very small town, but close to pretty much anything you might care to do in the general vicinity (30 minutes or less). The property is very well kept - clean and well stocked (including with edible goodies, which is a very nice touch). We spent most of our time on the 4-season porch when we weren't out somewhere. It's bright and breezy, with HVAC when needed. There are 2 restaurants within a quarter mile walk - a diner/comfort food restaurant with a great menu and better service, and small pizza place which served up an amazing pizza. This property is definitely recommended and we'd stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Jan Garrabrandt

Bruce is a colored-pencil artist and I'm an innkeeper. We left corporate jobs 22 years ago to open The Artist's Inn (a bed and breakfast), and never looked back. The Sisters House is located right next door to the inn and the gardens of both blend together. Yes, I admit I've never met a flower I didn't like and have planted oodles of them for you to enjoy.
We are foodies and love to explore. We can offer great suggestions on local restaurants, fun things to do and places to see. You'll find a list of restaurant recommendations on our website. Don't worry - we're constantly updating it!

Why they chose this property

We purchased the Sisters House in 2007, reuniting the property with our inn - another dream come true. This is an undiscovered part of Lancaster County - ten minutes from the Antiques Capital of the USA.
We're proud to be inspected, licensed, legal and insured.

What makes this property unique

Our quiet corner of Lancaster County is home to both Amish and old-order Mennonites, so buggies and bicycles are a common sight. There's a local produce auction not a mile from the Sisters House - you'll be able to observe (and even buy produce) farmers and nursery offerings. It's a gardener's paradise as there are 7 local greenhouses located within 5 miles of the inn. Fresh produce is available from nearby farm stands, including several organic farms and cheese producers.
Because The Artist's Inn is a member of the local tourism community, we are able to offer discounts on theater tickets like Sight and Sound, American Music Theatre and Dutch Apple Dinner Theater.
The city of Lancaster is only about 20 minutes away - a great place to explore art galleries, First Fridays, free concerts in the park in the summer, and restaurants galore.
