About this house rental

Step back in time!
Take a break from the fast pace of life in the house Abner Smoker built in 1949. The home has recently been restored to highlight its mid-century charm. The brick exterior and solid wood floors throughout speak of an age of stabilty and craftsmanship.
You will be transported to simpler times as you listen to the horse drawn buggies clip-clopping by. Wave to the children going by to their one-room school house just down the road.
You"ll make memories for a lifetime at this unique and family-friendly place.
Situated on the corner of a main Amish throughway and a farm road you will not be disappointed if you like to watch horse & buggies and Amish farm life.

My wife and I were joined in overlapping stays by our 2 daughters, d-i-l and 3 grandsons aged 4,7,9 for a wonderful 2 weekstay at the Mine Rd home. We all had a wonderful time. The house was perfect for us and so comfortable.The house was immaculate, fully outfitted for cooking, bathing and sleeping for all of us. We were very happy with the location as it was central to what we wanted to do: farm tour, science factory, Railroad Museum, Hershey, Lapp ice cream, going down driveways for root beer, eggs, asparagus, plants. Roots farmer's market and flea market. We loved cooking the fresh foods we bought. We loved hearing and watching the buggies go by. We met some very nice local people including Lavina's husband. Steve. Sharing all these "new" experiences with the boys will stay with them forever.We thank Lavina for hosting us and providing a safe and comfortable home away from home for our family to stay while we experienced the PA Dutch communities.

The home was very clean, beds were comfortable for the entire family, and the location was ideal for our activities. The dining area is spacious and enjoyable. I especially appreciated the thoughtful planning for travelers, with a coffee bar and plenty of linens in the bathrooms. If we head that way again, I will return happily to the Mine Ridge House.
