It was wonderful to be able to walk to the wedding venue. The size of the property is great. Communication was very good with host. Nice to have the pub/German beer place right across the square. Parking was super easy. We think the decor could definitely use a refresh. Some footrests were ripped and paint needed touching up. Perhaps a refresh on the linens would be a good idea too. Would also be a good idea to have signs on the downstairs doors as it does get a bit confusing. The host listed this on notes but signs would be helpful. Not a big deal though.

Stoudtburg Village is just about the cutest place that we have stayed. It is a quiet village with a bonus of shops around the village, and across the road that we walked to. The house itself was perfect for our needs and had everything that we needed in the kitchen. We have stayed at other houses within VRBO and others and have had to go out to buy some of the items that we needed, we didn't have to do that here. My only drawback was that the upstairs bathroom needed some updates, but was still usable without a problem for our long weekend. We would definitely stay here again when in the area.

Great place! Clean and perfect location.

We needed a place to fit our family of 6 for a wrestling tournament in downtown Reading. We were about 18 minutes away on an easy drive. The place was perfect for our family and had everything. With half days of wrestling this gave us a great place to unwind and spread out at costs similar to the hotels closer to town. The village was very cool to walk around and extremely safe. If we find ourselves needing a place to stay in this area, we will be back!

Enjoyed the stay and amenities, we had a rainy and windy weekend which led the Handle Haus sign to bang against the front of the building all night. Couldn’t get the fireplace to light. Other than those setbacks, it was great.

Nice little town with restaurants and small shops. Definitely recommend it

Great location, comfortable and easy to access! We were within minutes of the many antique stores. Definitely recommend.

The house was perfect. In the quaint Stoutburg Village. Met our every need. Cozyl gas log fireplace which we had trouble starting but the owner sent wonderful help and it wasn't anytime we enjoying its warmth. Peefect getaway nestled among a plethora of antique malls. Best Sister's getaway ever!! Thanks Kristen.

This neighborhood is so adorable ! Walking around outside made you deal like you were in another country. From the most adorable houses to the extremely well manicured lawns, courtyards, shops etc, the German restaurant had live music outside Friday night that you could hang out by the fountain or enjoy from your apartment. What a hidden gem !

Great place to visit antique stores. Close to Lancaster and Reading. House was nice and clean. Check in and out was easy.

The property and the area around it looked surreal. I felt like I was in a storybook or traveled back in time. The location gave us convenient access to Lancaster, various farmer’s markets, antique stores, and thrift stores. There are plenty of pamphlets provided to help you plan a trip if you haven’t beforehand. Also, make sure you receive a second e-mail (not from VRBO, but from the host) that will help you check-in a couple of days before. I didn’t receive anything and thought I would get it right at my check in time, which I found out was not the case. I don’t blame the host since this was a technical error and not intentional. Just message the host if you don’t get one to prevent checking in delays. Pros about the property: • Plenty of appliances and supplies provided. • Spacious home in a safe neighborhood. • Beautifully decorated. • Nice kitchen that’s well ventilated. • Beautiful view of the surrounding area. • Plenty of beds. I went with my elderly parents and aunts, and the set up was perfect where we each had our own beds. • Pamphlets of attractions and nearby restaurants provided. • Host was easy to reach and communicate with when needed. • Amazing bathroom in the master bedroom. Cons about the property: • Plumbing issues with the upstairs shower. It wasn’t frequent, but there were times it just would stop draining the water properly for a few minutes. It always ended up resolving itself so we didn’t have too much of an issue.

The unit itself was quite nice. The surrounding village was quiet through the week. On the Friday we were there, the restaurant across the courtyard had live music outdoors that was entertaining.

Cutest location ever! I loved that it had a garage, so convenient, and the 2nd parking space was as well! Plus, if there were more the parking lot is not a far walk at all! The house was beautiful! I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, and I know that all the other girls did too! Couple tips, the washer sounds like a space ship taking off, so I would not run it at night, if you use both showers at the same time the water pressure gets reduced quite a bit, the TVs are great, but not Smart TVs, so if you want to stream then bring your Roku or HDMI with a laptop, the bottom towel bar in the Master Bathroom is very loose and will fall off if pressure is put on it, but easy to put back up, the house is old and creaky, so if other guests with you keep that in mind! The air conditioning and heat were great and easy to use, the kitchen is amazing (the pantry is huge, and has some much needed supplies, and the fridge has water/ice features), and the living room was a great size, plus the dining room table was perfect, and had comfortable seating, and finally there is a whole bunch of phamplets in the living room under the TV for local things, and a folder on the TV stand bottom shelf with more local resources 😀

The Handel Haus is located in a village specifically built to be like a village in Germany. The architecture is cute and the village is quiet. The unit itself was super clean with plenty of room for parents on the main floor with bedrooms and separate bath for kids above. Loved the location, but be aware that the shops inside the village are only open on Friday, Saturday, Sunday this time of year. The restaurant in the village is also closed on Monday and Tuesday. The large antique malls are only open on Saturday or Sunday so check hours carefully. There are other shops (recommend thrift store across the street) and small restaurants nearby, particularly recommend the Park Place Diner for breakfast, The Riveria for dinner and the Beringer’s ice cream in Adamstown. Overall, a great stay.

We had a good time. Would come back if in the area.

Property as described overlooking courtyard of cute Bavarian village.

This was a very nice house...my employee enjoyed staying here

We enjoyed being close to the family we were visiting.

Great experience

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was beautiful and conveniently located to many things to do in Lancaster County. The shopping and restaurant in the village was great and transported me back to my days stationed in Germany. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting the area.

Nice area for antiquing. Easy to navigate. The village is very charming.

My son and his family absolutely loved their stay here. Perfect for them!!

House was wonderful - spacious and quiet. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed on our weekend but enjoyed coffee and baked goods at the coffee shop and walking through the open shops

The village is a wonderful community. Enjoyed the weekend community activities they graciously included us in Central locations to the Amish attractions and communities.

Beautiful little area to stay in, very quiet and peaceful. We were disappointed there were not more shops open but it was a great place to stay.

The unit needs updating and the area is not what we thought. Our unit had no air for 4 days and it was very uncomfortable and hard to sleep. The shops were not open and the restaurant was only open a few days. The blinds in the bathroom were broken and there was mold in the garage from an old water leak.

We loved our stay here. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. The only thing is the twin beds need updating. Everything else was perfect! We would definitely stay here again!

The Handel Haus is in an adorable little village with cute little shops. The home is very comfortable and cozy. It may seem like a small thing but I LOVED the pillows that you sleep on! It felt like home. I highly recommend staying there!

This unit was exactly as depicted and perfect for our Easter weekend getaway! We explored local antique stores and found a few great restaurants too. We would recommend this place!

Everything was great at this cute house, except for the fact that the entryway,downstairs bathroom, and garage had to be shared with the shipowners. This was not explained in the description and was very off putting. We were told to park next to the garage and almost everyday, the shop owner was parked in our space. This was a nuisance having 3 kids and having to walk extra for no reason and trying to keep them out of the entryway because we never knew when she would show up. Everything else was great, please change your description so people know what is happening when a random person shows up in the house they are renting

We were looking for a place to spend the Christmas holiday and Handel Haus was perfect! Not only a great location and surrounding area, it was perfect for us to be near some of children and grandchildren. The house not only had everything we needed for our stay, it also gave us a place to decorate for the holidays and bake cookies with our kids.

Nice layout of property, close to restaurant that was open at different times due to being off season. It was the only place opened during the week a couple of other shops only opened at the week-end. House was comfortable and cozy.
