Nestled at the crux of the renowned "river hills" the Ironmaster Mansion property is located directly beside the Pequea Creek. This is a nature lover's dream destination. Enjoy woods, hiking and biking trails, rock climbing, fishing, tubing, kayaking and paddle boarding. Two easy access points to the Enola Low Grade Trail are within one mile. This trail is perfect for biking or walking and is connected by historic trestle bridges.
The property is on a major routed road making it easy to find and for quick, direct travel to Lancaster City and other popular tourist destinations. Tanger Outlets, Dutch Wonderland and Sight and Sound Theater are all within 25 minutes.
On site parking is provided for two vehicles directly to the side of the property. The Pequea Creek is just steps away from the parking area and a popular hiking path that follows the Pequea Creek can be accessed by simply crossing the road. Two easy access points to the Enola Low Grade Trail are within one mile.
Outside enjoy a newly built deck while listening to the water of the nearby creek. On the first floor you will find a cozy living room with gas fireplace and 42" smart TV and a quaint kitchen, equipped with electric range, full size refrigerator and dishwasher. Upstairs is a newly renovated bathroom with shower only, and two bedrooms, each with queen size beds. Newly updated central air/heat system warms and cools the home accordingly.
A beautifully handcrafted wooden staircase will greet you directly at your parking. This will lead you up a steep bank of about 25 steps to the historic stone Ironmaster Mansion guest house that you will call home. The steps have two landings and are well lit in the evening. Please view exterior photos to assess your ability of the stairs, especially considering luggage.
Outdoor lights will be on to welcome you if you’re arriving after dark. Please use caution on the brick pathway which can be slippery while raining and when wet.
A keypad is mounted on the door to unlock the smart lock for self check-in.
The house is newly updated with central heating and air conditioning.
On the first floor is the kitchen and living room with a small dining table. This is a drop leaf table that can extend to seat four. Extra chairs are located in the kitchen closet.
Enjoy a smart TV and gas fireplace in the living room. The gas fireplace warms the home quickly and creates the coziest ambiance, but rest assured that central heating is the main heat source.
In the living room a sofa pulls out to a queen size mattress. Linens and pillows for the sofa bed are found in the upstairs closet.
The creek is located on the opposite side of the stone lane and can be admired from the large, newly built deck. The deck has a table, chairs, and lounge chairs perfect for sunbathing. Also enjoy views of the creek from the windows of the house when the leaves are down.
There is a very steep and narrow staircase from the kitchen that leads up to the second floor. The stairs can be tricky to navigate. If your luggage is large consider using the secondary stairs on the outside of the home, just past the front door.
On the second floor you will find a bathroom with shower only, and two bedrooms, both with queen size beds. Kindly do not access the unfinished attic.
***We wish the property was more handicap accessible and friendlier to those who have difficulty with stairs. Please carefully assess your ability after reviewing photos of the steep exterior and interior steps.
