About this property

Beautiful riverfront home surrounded by Amish farms in Lancaster

Discover Eagle's Branch River House, the perfect secluded riverfront perch to enjoy the sights and beauty of Lancaster farm country. Our three bedroom, two bath spacious home is ideally suited for a relaxing getaway with family or friends. It has a 'cabin' feel with modern amenities and is beautifully furnished. Three levels with master bedroom suite with its own private wraparound deck, modern kitchen, expansive rec room with river views, and multi-tier decks overlooking the river and surrounding Amish farms.

On a quiet gravel lane, you won't find a better place to unwind in the heart of Amish country! The Conestoga River is a designated water trail and popular for canoeing, kayaking, fishing and wildlife viewing. Our home provides convenient river access on a beautiful stretch of the Conestoga between the historic Bushong Mill and the famous Pinetown and Hunsecker's Mill Covered Bridges.

Most guests enjoy relaxing to the sound of the river rapids, but amenities include large-screen TVs, Wi-Fi and a Weber grill. Quiet and peaceful yet a quick 10 minutes to downtown Lancaster, farmers markets and all the sights and activities.

Also a short drive to many other attractions including Hersheypark, Dutch Wonderland, the historic Fulton Theatre, American Music Theatre, Sight & Sound, Cherry Crest Adventure Farm, Longwood Gardens, Strasburg Rail Road, historic Ephrata Cloister, Susquehanna River and much more.

For families: we have a pack-n-play with mattress included, high chair, books/toys and stroller available for guest use. Older kids (and adults) will love the foosball table and large screen TVs in the rec room!

Take advantage of our one-of-a-kind setting: we have two bikes for guests to explore Lancaster's winding farm roads and rolling hills, a private rustic trail through the woods along the river to one of Lancaster County's famous covered bridges, or you can walk from the house across the Amish farm path to see cows and horses. Evenings are great for enjoying complimentary s'mores or relaxing in the hammock by our riverside fire pit.

We are taking extra steps to ensure a clean home awaits your arrival, including enhanced cleaning and disinfecting of high-touch areas such as countertops, light switches, door handles, etc. Get groceries delivered by Instacart from Wegman's or Stauffer's - everything you need for a relaxing vacation is right at the house! Enjoy Eagle's Branch as a peaceful change of scenery to spend a quiet few days.

Have kayaks or canoes to bring along? There's a wonderful 90-minute paddle route that leaves from the house, passing two covered bridges, an eagle's nest and beautiful farms and homes. We're happy to arrange transport from the take-out point at a local park with our boat trailer.

Wonderful setting & home for ladies’ weekend!
The house was so cozy and welcoming. We walked in to see sticky buns on the kitchen table, freshly cut lilacs in a vase, and a lovely note from the property managers. We continued to the big picture window at the back of the house to peek at the river and right there sat a bald eagle! We found its nest nearby the next day. Spent lots of time around the fire pit by the water, enjoying the variety of birds and drinking Lancaster coffee that was provided for us in the kitchen. Peaceful, relaxing, near lots of things to do. Enjoyed Gracie’s for breakfast and Fox Meadow Creamery for ice cream samplers, and found two covered bridges close by. We hope to come back for another ladies’ weekend!!

Everything was great except downstairs beds. They were a little small for couples and the mattress was worn out into a bowl. We will return.

Wonderful retreat!
We are a group of 4 women who do online English discussion classes (ESL) with middle eastern women. We came from all over — TN, VA, MA & Ontario. Most of us had never met in person. We booked this lovely property and so happy we did! It was PERFECT. Every detail was thought through. Communication with the owner prior to arrival was very good and complete; any question I had was answered quickly by Emily. Watching all the wildlife along the river was quite a treat. We met the lovely Amish family next door & Ginny, the property manager — both so kind and generous with their knowledge of the area. Don’t hesitate to book this property, you’ll be glad you did.

Sweet Welcome
We were treated with a handwritten note and a tray full of homemade sticky buns. I have stayed at many rental properties and this was my first time experiencing such an amazing welcome. The view of the river and the listening of the running water at night definitely made the back bedroom my favorite place in the house. Would like to go back when it is a little warmer to enjoy the deck a bit more, but definitely a 10 out of 10 stay.

My husband is from the area and we were looking for a weekend getaway spot to unwind and recharge. We've found the perfect place!

Why they chose this property

There aren't many homes on the river and you can feel yourself relax as soon as you turn onto the private gravel lane. The deck overlooking the rapids is our favorite place to spend a lazy morning. We love being in the heart of Lancaster County and surrounded by Amish farms.
