Lazy 8 is a peaceful, scenic countryside getaway

Nestled in the backwoods of Amish country, the Lazy 8 is a historic farmhouse on a peaceful estate with all the accommodations of country living. Constructed in the mid 1800’s, the Lazy 8 was remodeled in 1973. The core was renovated and wings were added onto both sides. In 2023 the property was completely renovated with modern materials, updated technology and added unique touches.
