Shannon and I were born and raised in Lancaster County. I was raised on the 8th generation family farm that borders our house. As for Shannon, all her growing up years were spent on her parent's chicken farm only five miles down the road. So as high-school sweethearts, Lancaster County was all we ever knew until 2016 when God led us to teach at a Bible College in southern Indiana. Now with our seven children, we spend the school term in Indiana and come back "home" to Lancaster for the summer months. So when we're gone, our house is open for others to enjoy!!!
Chris & Shannon Lapp purchased this House in 2004
Why Chris & Shannon Lapp chose Leola
My grandparents built the house off the family farm as their retirement property. In the 90's, my older brother bought the house from our grandparents. Then in 2004, when my brother moved on the family farm, we had the opportunity to buy the home. So with the cornfield as our back property line, I never really moved off the farm. Being surrounded by both of our families, the picturesque setting, and the peaceful Lancaster county culture, there's no place we'd rather live. So because we've been so blessed, we'd be delighted to have you experience the setting we've been privileged to call home.
What makes this House unique
We'd love to have you stay at our home!!! With farmland in front and behind us, you'll love the peace and quiet. The great view from our front yard of the neighbor's produce farm will take you back it time. The idyllic setting is hard to beat and will make for a relaxing vacation!!!
Bring your quilting, sewing, or scrapbooking group and spread out in our spacious basement. Be sure to visit our quilt/fabric (Family Farm Quilts 3511 West Newport Rd. Ronks, PA 1757) shop just 5 minutes away in the town of Intercourse.
With the popular Amish towns of Intercourse and Bird-in-Hand only a few minutes away, our home is perfectly located for easy access to all the tourist attractions. Because Dutch Wonderland, Cherry Crest Farm, and Sight and Sound are so close by, our home is a great place to stay for a family vacation. With seven children of our own, our house is kid-friendly and perfect for a family of any size.
So bring your family, experience real Lancaster county among the Amish, de-stress from the busy pace of life, and make family memories that will last forever!!!!
It\'s a vey nice home with lots if room for our kids to play inside and outside. The kids loved the house very much. We enjoyed watching the Amish go by and visited a few of the Amish shops around the area. Great central location to Philly, Lancaster, Hershey and Gettysburg.
After numerous searches for a place to stay in the Lancaster area, I believe we struck gold in choosing this beautiful home. Centrally located in Leola, it was convenient to all the sights to see in Lancaster. This home is spotless with all the amenities need to make our stay memorable. There was a lovely area with a fire pit where we enjoyed making s’mores each night. A screened porch sitting area complemented the backyard, along with a gas barbecue grill - great for enjoying a meal while taking in the scenic landscape. Once back inside, relax on the living room couch, gazing out as the local farmer plows his field with his workhorses. In concluding this review, YES, we would stay here again- and anyone looking for a spacious house- This is the one!
We loved our visit to Lancaster County. This house was the perfect fit for our family, with 2 grandparents, and 3 kids ages 5, 3, and 1. There was a pack and play and high chair for the baby, which were helpful. The kids LOVED playing \"school\" in the basement, and playing with the toys there too. We loved having horses and buggies go by the house all the time. The backyard was great, with the tire swing and playground. The house has a few quirks, but nothing worth taking away a star. And we were treated to canned peaches, raw milk, and granola when we arrived! 5 stars!
My 6 grandkids loved the large downstairs area, lots of play room. Kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, clean and up to date. Had a fantastic time.
Beautiful location, clean house, multiple amenities with kitchen supplies and plenty of towels. Very large house. No complaints at all.
