Our vonHottenstein Farmhouse is surrounded by beautiful farm fields, large yard for relaxing, running and playing games, or maybe swinging to the sky on our tire swing. You will feel at home here if you are visiting the nearby Penn State Health Lancaster Medical Center and Nook Sports Center. There are hiking and biking trails, a farmers market, Amish Country and shopping outlet stores nearby. Downtown Lancaster city is a revitalized and vibrant cultural center. Our farmhouse is on a 26 acre farm that has been in the Hottenstein family since our immigrant bought the land in 1770. The 3 connecting farms were all part of the original property. Many of the decorations in our farmhouse reflect our heritage. The farm is not a working farm, although the fields are farmed by the neighboring farmer. This farmhouse has been the home of much laughter and many memories for 8 generations of Hottensteins, and we hope you add to those memories with your laughter and make memories of your own as you relax and enjoy the peace and tranquility of our farmhouse with your family and friends. You are welcome to enjoy the entire house, except the locked back room. You may also enjoy the yard. We ask that you do not enter the barn, and out buildings or the trailer behind the barn. This belongs to our son who occasionally needs a place to sleep between flights. We hope to welcome you upon arrival and answer any questions you may have. On the rare occasion that we are not available at the time you arrive, the key will be in the lockbox and we will send the code before arrival. We are frequently around the farm, caring for the outside and are available if you have any needs during your stay. We also have a room with private entrance in the back of the house for our occasional use. We are surrounded by farms, except for the house across the road, which the farmer built on his farm for retirement. All neighbors are wonderful people. The connecting farm has a market stand with seasonal produce most of the year. Closed after Christmas. About one and a half mile down State Road is the new Penn State Health Lancaster Medical Center. Very close to the farm is Roots Farm Market since 1925, which is open on Tuesdays all year. PA283 is just 1 mile from the farm and gives easy access to Lancaster and Harrisburg, and the Nook Sports Center. See our Welcome booklet for more attractions and ideas that are easy access from the farm. The Amtrak Station is only 6 miles or 12-15 minute drive away. This gives you access to Harrisburg & Pittsburgh to the west, or Philadelphia to the East. The Harrisburg Airport is only 30 minutes away off of PA283.
