Lancaster city is an amazing gem that we know guests will fall in love with more and more each visit. While not the largest city, there are new discoveries to find both within the city and outside its limits. My wife and I walked by this home several times and remarked how beautiful and welcoming it was, so when we got the chance to buy it, we knew immediately that we wanted to share it with others who wanted a taste of all Lancaster has to offer.
The Vine Street Retreat is that dream come to life. We've put a lot of love and care into this home to make it a wonderful place for a family getaway, a special occasion, work gathering, and so much more. We love all the unique spaces, historical architecture, and the ability for guest groups to gather without feeling crowded. The location is perfect, just steps from downtown restaurants and bars, shops, and local venues.
This is the perfect home for large groups or guests that want to spread out and use all the spaces available to them. We imagined family and friend groups celebrating special events or just getting together for fun, perhaps to explore Lancaster City and its surroundings.
Enjoy the small city feel, historic attractions, and your new favorite spot!

RECENT REVIEWS
Our large group enjoyed our stay at Donny's place! It was the perfect location to host our retreat. Lots of sleeping space, and a charming, historic home. Would certainly stay again.
-Emily
This was our second time at this home for what will certainly be an annual family holiday gathering here. We love everything about it. Plenty of sleeping space for large extended family and partners, with many options for privacy or smaller groups to gather, and big enough central areas for all of us to be together. Loud and exuberant late night cards and games among the young adults on the lower floors didn’t disturb sleeping older relatives on the upper levels. Lots of bedding, towels, blankets, etc. Tons of dishes and cookware for preparing big meals, and coffee is stocked as well as many pantry “basics.” Simply a perfect layout and location for all of us.
-Teresa
We absolutely loved our stay! The bridesmaids in our wedding party stayed here together and had the best time at this beautiful home. We felt well taken care of from the first communication from Donny and had a seamless stay start to finish. Would definitely recommend!
-Chloe
This place was incredible! Some friends and I booked it while it town for a wedding instead of staying at a hotel and it was exactly what we were looking for. A place big enough for our group while still being close to everything we could've wanted. We loved the pool table and got a lot of use out of it.
Donny was a great host and was communicative, flexible, and informative. The place is only like a 5-10 minute walk to bars and restaurants and other fun places to be.
-Cody
This was such a great AirBnB! We had 14 guests and this place was really a hit! From the coffee bar, to the apartment downstairs and the large kitchen! Everything was great and accommodated all 14 of our guests! Donny was very helpful before and as we were there. I love how everything was set up and everything was there, ready for us when we got there. This is an awesome place to stay and I would definitely recommend staying here over and over again. Thanks again Donny!
-Alexandra
What a fantastic charming house with all the amenities. We travel to Lancaster every year the first week of January and can’t wait to stay here again next year.
-Chris
My fiancé and I are local to lancaster and wanted to host a large group of out of town friends to celebrate our engagement in our hometown but our home is not quite large enough for everyone to stay with us. Thankfully we found this absolute GEM of an Airbnb! We had an amazing weekend with all our friends at the Vine Street Retreat! This house has it all— incredible location walkable to restaurants/bars, beautiful decor, fabulous amenities and more! Everything in this home is so thoughtful and welcoming. We loved exploring all the unique rooms and the library was a huge hit. We could have spent hours in there checking out the amazing book and vinyl record collection! The bedrooms were all very comfortable and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything you’d need to prepare a home cooked meal.
We would absolutely stay here again; our friends talked about booking it to stay for our wedding in June 2024! You will not regret staying here; but you WILL regret NOT staying here! 10/10!
-Alissa
This was a mamas weekend for the F &M football team & we were not disappointed! The place is well situated( 5 minute walk to anywhere in downtown Lancaster ) It is a large & meandering space with 2!! outdoor courtyards:) it was clean & all necessities were provided. We had a lot of fun & hope to reserve it again! Well done:)
-Karen
The house is spectacular! I could spend daaaaaays in the library! the books... the music.. the victrola💗... so much character. It's such a lovely home.
Please check out the Lancaster Central market! a MUST see. A ten minute walk from the house.
Also, a great selection of dvds. LOTR AND Harry Potter! Could a girl ask for more?
-Charlene
Great place to stay with beautiful features and unique touches all over. Beds and furniture were very comfortable and plenty of living/socializing space for 12 adults. Loved the area and all the great spots in walking distance. Would come back in a heartbeat.
-Dan
Donny's place is amazing. So many thoughtful touches and beautiful decor. You are able to enjoy the house and many amenities and walk to the downtown area if you want to explore the local area. Would definitely recommend!
