| There just aren't enough superlatives to describe this lovely little cottage and our gracious hosts, Roman and Lucy and their beautiful family! It was the perfect getaway, so quiet, so refreshing, so renewing. Every detail was perfect. We already reserved for another year and are counting the days till we can come back. |

| What a great getaway. We celebrated our 35th anniversay aug 17-19. The moment we walked in the door we felt like we were home, the only thing different was it was just the two of us. ALONE AT LAST! The hot tub and massage table was our favorite, along with all the homemade goodies. We enjoyed the quiet evenings on the porch. We didn't even miss the tv. The love and peace of God filled the place. We took his peace home with us. Thank you for your wonderful ministry to married couples. Hope to see you next summer! |

Homeowner Response:
Thank you for the kind words and God bless you as use the peace you got here and pass it on to others. We can provide a getaway but only God gives peace. God gives his peace and blessing as a couple seeks it by blessing each other with generous love as God intended. There's always more peace in a household when a husband and wife take time to truly connect with each other. That is a decision you make and an investment of time on your part, then peace is a result you take with you. God bless you as you keep the peace he gave you by deep heart sharing with each other.

| What the perfect little place. A must for the couple on their honeymoon or looking to reconnect in their marriage. You can't go wrong with this delightful place. The owners are very welcoming. A Sunday stay needs to be included to visit their church and enjoy the many Amish passing by. We will definitely make a return. Thanks for a great week. A definite 10 out of 10 property. |

| We had an incredible week at your lovely cottage. The new bed was interesting but we did adjust. This is absolutely the most relaxed, romantic place anyone can visit! From the moment you arrive to the time you leave, Roman and Lucy have made certain that your needs were anticipated. There were games for the evenings that it rained and suggestions for places to go and see that were well worth the time! Thanks for sharing this with us! |

We fell in love with The Little Stone Cottage the moment we arrived. The cottage is anything but "little" for the 2 of us. The cottage was so romantic...you cant help but fall in love with your partner all over again.
Everything in the house is top-notch. This was a completely stress-free vacation for us where we were able to focus on what really mattered - our relationship.
The Stoltzfoos thought of everything in the cottage. There were robes, massage oils, a laundry basket, plenty of towels, hairdryer, and enough candles to illuminate the entire house.
The best part was meeting the Stoltzfoos'. They are such kind, generous people.
We are already looking ahead to see when we can stop by again for a long-weekend.
Thank you, Roman & Lucy, for creating this wonderful place. Your thoughtfulness and love shows in every inch of the house.

This was a surprise 10th anniversary trip for my husband. From the moment we arrived it was instant relaxation. Every corner we turned brought a new surprise. The beautiful grounds, the immaculate way the home is kept, the wonderful homemade goodies and all of the attention to every little detail made us feel as if we were guests at an exclusive five star resort. But, it is even better than a resort because it was our own private get away and all of the little extras were ours alone to enjoy. We had plans to eat out and do a little exploring of the local area but found we were so content and relaxed there that we never left. We also enjoyed hiking around the wooded trails. The Little Stone Cottage is truly the best place to relax and reconnect with nature and the one you love away from the hustle and bustle of the "real" world. Roman, Lucy, Charlene and family, we wish you continued success with your ministry and the organic getaway you have all poured so much love and detail into. We will be back.
God Bless,

| We fell in love with the Little Stone Cottage! It is a wonderful place to spend time together as a couple. And it was the perfect place to celebrate our 25th anniversary. (Thank you Husband!) Walking through the door for the first time was like stepping into a welcome hug from God, and He didn't let go! Never have we stayed somewhere so beautiful and clean, so intimate and restful! Never have we felt more loved and cared for. We were surrounded with peace and beauty and blessing at every turn. Everything was amazing and beyond our expectation. We had so much fun! We ate well, laughed often and loved much! The fresh milk, eggs, yogurt, granola and home-made bread were an added bonus! It was difficult to leave, but we have great memories to keep us until our next visit. To the Stoltzfoos family, we bless you and thank you for your warm hospitality, excellent service, tender care, and for this wonderful ministry! May the light in the Little Stone Cottage continue to shine for many years to come! |

| Our stay at the Little Stone Cottage was so incredible! We spent a long romantic weekend here celebrating our love and the first year of marriage! The wonderful memories we made here together will be treasured for a lifetime. It was the perfect get-away for us as a couple with cozy decor, romantic music, hot tub, massage table, fireplace, stocked fridge, pool table, and many other special extras! Throughout the weekend we were reminded of how incredible marriage is and the priceless treasure that it is for us! We highly recommend this cottage to any couple wishing to celebrate their love and commitment to each other in a truly special way! |

| What a marvelous place to relax away from the daily life. No children, no worries, etc. This place was so warm, inviting and welcoming. It really felt like home. The decor is beautiful, I may use some of the ideas myself. My husband and I felt like kids again playing board games and shooting pool. The hot tub was a fantastic treat too. We enjoyed the tremendous literature available to read, it was very useful. We will certainly be back. |

| We stayed at the Little Stone Cottage the first 2 nights of our honeymoon! Although located near a small country road, after we parked in the attached garage we entered a cozy cottage of romance! Soft music playing, candles flickering, rose petals on the steps to the master bedroom- totally romantic!! Tastefully designed for maximum privacy, it was everything we dreamed of and more! We'll be back! :) |

| The Little Stone Cottage was by far the most peaceful, refreshing place we have ever been! The Stolzfoos's made the cottage feel like it had been built just for us, just for those 2 days. You can tell there was much love and care put into every detail. We have just arrived home today, and have already recommended it to several friends. |

| We spent a wonderful week at the Little Stone Cottage in celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary. The cottage and surrounding area was everything we hoped it would be. The Stoltzfoos family goes well out of their way to make staying here a wonderful experience. When we arrived we found fresh organic milk, eggs, bread, yogurt, apples and sweets. This cottage is very private and serves well to create the environment to relax and renew marriage relationships. We thoroughly enjoyed the buggies which come by the house daily. A one-room school house is just down the street and Amish children walk to and from there. We plan to go back as often as possible. It was very well worth our drive! |

This visit was our 30th anniversary honeymoon.
The Little Stone Cottage was everything we had imagined it to be and then some. As we walked in the door we were greeted with soft music and rose petals.
Inspirational messages adorned the cottage walls, library and music selections.
The setting of the cottage was so peaceful and the grounds are wonderfully designed and landscaped. The hot tub we used every day and evening.
The Cottage is extremely well designed and decorated. It felt like home to us.
The breads, milk and vegetables from the farm were absolutely delicious.
Roman and Lucy and their family are wonderfully nice. We joined the family at their church for Bible study and services. Even though we are not Mennonites we were made to feel welcome in the fellowship of faith, and of their congregation.
Roman and Lucy asked us to join them for lunch after service. After a most delicious lunch we shared a wonderful period of friendship and fellowship.
Helen and I hope to return for another visit to the Little Stone Cottage.

| Simply Enchanting Cottage. We were both magically swept away from the momment we entered the door. From the soft music playing, to the rose petals on the couch, to the heart shaped choc. cakes. The little touches were aboundant throughout the inside and outside as well. Peeking out the window we enjoyed the scenery including the tree swing and horses galloping. Purely a serine setting to reconnect with the one you love. It only took us minutes to clear our heads and open our hearts to the blessing of being able to enjoy such a charming, cozy cottage. Thank you for sharing your beautiful retreat. Carl & I will definately be returning for our 10 yr anniversary. Many blessing to you & your family. |

| Outstanding place. Could not ask for a better place. Truly a remarable place to get away from the city life. Great place for a honeymoon...even though we've been married 21 years! The atmosphere was set from the moment we stepped inside. Great touches Charlene! Can't wait to come back! Be assured we've shared our experience with our friends and family. |

| You don't have to be a christian to enjoy this wonderful cottage. Anyone who would just like some time alone to reconnect with their spouse and leave the world behind should plan their stay. The cottage is beautifully decorated, has lots to do, special touches and absolutely spotless. On top of everything else wonderful owners. With our luck we booked the cottage during 2007s first significant snowstorm. We did make our way there and Mr. Stoltzfoos kept in touch with us along the way. He even told us to call him if the road was bad and he'd meet us with the tracker! Now would the manager of the holiday inn do that? I not only recommend the Little Stone Cottage, but plan on going back myself. |

| Just happened to stumble on this wonderful gem. Every year since we got married my wife always wants to head to Lancaster to celebrate our anniversary. The cottage had everything and the wonderful atmosphere with the horse and buddies going by just helps to slow things down in our fast paced life. Highly recommended to anyone wanting quality and peace and quit. It will be a regular stopping spot for us. |

| Roman and Lucy have provided the most relaxing atmosphere possible in this "little stone cottage." The moment you enter their property, your day to day duties flee from your mind and you are transported to a place where you can completely enjoy the countryside. From the double car garage(with pool table and ping pong table)to the hot tub on the back deck, all the "creature comforts" you will need to relax. Sights and sounds of the country enable anyone to simply unwind and enjoy quality time with their spouse. |

| We just returned from a week at Little Stone Cottage. There are no words to describe the sheer pleasure and peacefulness of this unique romantic retreat. My husband and I were overwhelmed by the many ammenities offered here as well as the perfectly appointed rooms designed to create an atmosphere of peacefulness and oneness between us. The Stoltzfoos', with the help of the Lord have succeeded in creating the perfect get-away for a couple to rejuvenate and reconnect with each other and with God. |
