Thanksgiving Family Gathering

Our whole family gathers every year for Thanksgiving. We need a space for 12 people to stay and 20 people to eat dinner. The kitchen's double ovens and twin refrigerators were used to make meals, including Thanksgiving dinner. Overall the house served our needs to a tee.

The Kings Palace because we were there to see King David at Sight and Sound and the property is King

It was a bit more old than I had expected. The major issue was lightening. Half of the light fixtures and lamps did not work or had burned out bulbs. Kings Cottage is a wonderful property just in need of a FRESH update !!!

About the host

Hosted by Kyle Brown

We love to welcome guests to Lancaster, PA, the heart of Amish country and a relaxed way of life. With deep roots in the area and it's simple way of life, we know there is no better way to slow down and enjoy life than to ride the quiet backroads of Lancaster County. Together we are raising our four children, short term rental hosting, and continuing the tradition of family in the heart of Lancaster County.

Why they chose this property

The King's Cottage Inn is an amazing escape, close to the best of both downtown Lancaster, as well as bucolic Amish Country and the many shopping, dining and museum options. Visit our website for many local recommendations!
