If you want to relax with your spouse, and you're within driving distance of Lancaster County, Alex Rauck's loft at the Jackson Farm will be a perfect getaway. It's nestled in the rolling hills, out in a truly rural setting. However, my wife and I found we had all the amenities we would expect in a luxury hotel suite. Here's what was there:
- an exceptionally clean en suite bathroom with fluffy towels, a glass door shower, and a fun old barn door for privacy to the rest of the studio-type loft apartment
- a kitchen with a view of the farmland, half a dozen provided eggs from the Raucks' chickens, Keurig coffee and tea cups, a microwave, stove top oven, large refrigerator, a huge island for preparing food, and all the utensils and tools you could need for a weekend or week-long respite.
- a beautiful hardwood floor
- a breakfast-nook-type space to eat and look out at the view
- a "just right" firm but simultaneously pillowy king-sixed bed
- comfortable chairs...
- and the hospitality! I don't think they only did this for my wife and me... they gave us both an unexpected freshly made slice of pie and (tasted like!) homemade ice cream for our last night at their spot.
Seriously, if you want to enjoy some time within driving distance from crafting communities like Intercourse (the Amish Pennsylvania town!), Pinnacle Overlook of the Susquehanna River, and all of Lancaster County, this is a perfect gem to enjoy!
