The place worked out great for our family! There are 6 of us so there was plenty of room. The location was perfect for all of our plans. Alisa was great with communications and very quick with responses.

We were in town for a wedding and 10 of us stayed at the home. It had plenty of room for all of us. It is in a great location and within walking distance to a wide variety of fabulous shops and restaurants. Lancaster is such a pretty town. I would highly recommended staying at this property if you have a large group.

It was our 35th Reunion from F&M and because our Fraternities were disbanded over 30 years ago, I never felt the interest in going back. I went back last Fall and was inspired to gather a group to join me this year. I found Alicia’s place on VRBO and I knew it wouldn’t be there long so I reserved it in the Spring. I put “F&M Reunion” on our family calendar and my daughters were curious about my enthusiasm so I had them watch “The Big Chill”. Needless to say, many things don’t live up to expectations in Life but this was a Magical exception. The House was as warm and inviting as its owner. My wife was able to meet some of my favorite people that helped form who I am today. Over the weekend, we shared laughter and tears (one of us lost a son recently) and reconnected because we had this “safe space” to do so. As Forrest Gump said, “some times there are not enough words”. I’ll finish with Alicia, thank you for becoming our friend and helping us renew our relationships with others. Sending you a Travel Journal as a gift so others can put down their thoughts after they experience your Hospitality. ❤️ Susan & Tim Terranova

The condo is beautifully decorated and clean. Great place for a family gathering. The kids loved the basement full of games and walking distance to parks and pizza.
I would suggest adding room darkening shades or curtains to the bedrooms.

We couldn't have chosen a better place to stay than Alisa's Serenity in the City while we were in Lancaster. The house is lovely, immaculate and beautifully maintained; the beds are very comfortable; there is plenty of room for a large group to be together or for folks to have "alone time"; the neighborhood is charming, quiet, and close to all kinds of things to do. Best of all, Alisa is an incredibly attentive host. She provided us with great information, was very easy to reach, and made sure we had all we needed for the perfect stay. If you're looking for a great place to stay in Lancaster look no further - you've found it.

The house was just as described. It’s a lot bigger than pictures make it seem. Right in the heart of Lancaster. You can walk to restaurants if you so desire!!! Would definitely stay there again!!!

Great location close to downtown Lancaster and Central Market. House was fully stocked and lacked for nothing. We had a long drive and got there an hour earlier and we were able to get in the house prior to 4 pm which was extremely nice. Would definitely recommend this place!

This home was beautifully decorated, had everything we could have needed, and was located right in town. The game room in the basement was really cool and with so many board games, no one could possibly get bored. There was plenty of room for us to spread out. My only negative was that I did not anticipate all the stairs in the house. I had several older people in my party that had a lot of trouble going up and down the stairs. Otherwise, the home was excellent and I would recommend this place to everyone.

This property is a great location if you are visiting Franklin and Marshall College. We recently stayed here to attend our student's graduation and it's close enough to walk to anywhere on campus, including graduation. The house was clean and easily sleeps 10, which was the size of our party.
You can also walk to awesome neighborhood restaurants: Mean Cup, Luca, Amanita, Wyndridge tasting room, and so much more!
It's also an easy drive (5 minutes) to downtown Lancaster, with great restaurants, shopping, and of course Central Market.
I would definitely stay here again!
