Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Comfy cottage
We stayed for a week in this cottage and really enjoyed our stay. It was a very well equipped cottage, with a large kitchen, which is what we were looking for. The bed was very comfortable and we loved the deck & grounds. Daniel, the host was wonderful. He was so friendly and just a pleasure to talk to. He brought us baked goods, along with milk & eggs, which were a welcome surprise and very delicious. Would absolutely stay here again if we visit the area in the future.

Genuine Warmth and Comfort filled the House
One feels a warm welcome from the moment you walk in, like you were invited to your family's home. Daniel the owner was a gracious host and took good care of us from welcoming us and checking to see if we needed anything during our stay. There were extras including eggs and farm fresh cream waiting in the fridge and fresh cider too (yum!) Very clean, stocked with all kinds of things you might need when away from home, and nice homey linens and super comfy beds. We loved the view of sprawling farms behind us and the clip-clapping of horse and buggies in the front. A wonderful nostalgic, down-home, unpretentious visit. We would love to come back. Thank you Daniel, and to his wife and daughter for personal touch Fall decor, fresh flowers, and even our delicious home-baked pie. A very pleasant time spent in Paradise!

Trip with mom
Paradise Cottage was immaculately kept and had everything we needed to make our stay memorable. Loved looking out the window and watching the Amish go by. Saw the show Moses at Sight & Sound Theater. Highly recommended seeing the show. The action was phenomenal. Daniel and family welcomed us upon arrival and were very friendly. Thanks for the fresh eggs! We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to Lancaster. Plenty to see and do. Amish restaurants are fabulous. Ride the train in Strasburg. Have an ice cream sundae at the Strasburg creamery. Visit the bakery in Bird-in-the-Hand. Delicious bake goods.

Can't wait to go back!
We had a wonderful stay at Paradise Cottage. The house was perfect for our stay - very clean and comfortable. Daniel, Irene and Elizabeth were so accommodating. Elizabeth was there to welcome us to the home and made sure we got settled in. Fresh baked goods were on the kitchen counter for us to enjoy and she delivered farm fresh milk that evening! They provided us with helpful information about local shops, eating places, grocery, points of interest etc. It was so much fun to watch the buggies travel by throughout the day and the teams of horses plowing the field behind the house. The area is absolutely beautiful!

Wonderful house
My sister and I rented the house for the weekend and couldn’t be more pleased. It was beyond our expectations and the owners were very nice. House was clean, fully furnished it was easy to settle right in. Close to many stores and tourist attractions. Highly recommend ~ Rev Pat Torok

A Lovely Cottage
What a lovely cottage! The home was equipped with everything one would need in a home. It was warm and inviting. The beds were soft and the pillows were fluffy. It was immaculately clean as well! I felt very comfortable there and would not hesitate to book another stay. The owner stopped by on our last day. He was very nice and personable. I highly recommend a stay at Paradise Cottage. It’s a great getaway from the rough and tumble of city life. Thanks Daniel!

Family vacation on Lancaster county
My family loved our stay at Paradise cottage. The house is clean and cozy. The location is ideal, with restaurants in walking distance, and a peaceful field stretching as far as the eye can see in backyard. The owners were very hospital, as the fridge was fully stocked with locally sourced foods, and a fresh pie was delivered to us during our stay. We would definitely visit again, the next time we come to Lancaster.

Perfect place for a relaxing vacation.
Owner stopped in to check on us a couple times. Very kind. Place was perfect for two old biddies. My niece stopped by for a few days and loved it. She said she was going to look into renting it next summer for her young family. Very satisfied.

Family Togetherness
We couldn't have asked for a better rental! The location was wonderful-quiet and beautiful. It was far enough from the business to allow for peace and tranquility yet close enough to all the area offers you don't feel too secluded. The home was spotless and well equipped, we were never in need of anything. Daniel and his beautiful wife and sweet family were delightful hosts and welcomed us the moment we arrived. We hope to stay again!
