1850 County Line Rd, York Springs, PA 17372

A little piece of Pennsylvania history, tucked into the countryside. This charming historic log cottage in York Springs offers the kind of setting that is increasingly hard to find: quiet, private, full of character, and surrounded by nature, yet convenient to Gettysburg, Carlisle, Harrisburg and Route 15. The two-bedroom, one-bath home retains the details that make an old house special, including exposed log walls, original wood floors, beams and the wonderful imperfections of a home that has been part of the landscape for generations. The main floor includes an eat-in kitchen, full bath and comfortable living room opening onto a covered back deck the perfect spot for morning coffee, dinner outside or watching the property settle in for the evening. Outside is where this little cottage becomes something truly special. The property includes a spring-fed pond, fenced in yard, a small flowing stream, an original springhouse, raised garden beds and mature black walnut, locust and sour cherry trees. Turtles, frogs, fish and the occasional visiting duck share the grounds, and there is plenty of room to garden, read under a tree or simply enjoy having a little space around you. Upstairs are two cozy bedrooms connected by a small landing, with the second bedroom accessed through the first a quirky, historic layout that works especially well as a bedroom plus office, dressing room, studio or guest space. Just beyond the cottage, the detached shed has been thoughtfully outfitted as a cozy bonus retreat, complete with a bed and a little extra breathing room away from the main house. It's a charming flex space for reading, writing, afternoon naps or occasional overflow not a separate residence, but one more unexpected corner of the property that makes it feel special. The home is fully furnished and thoughtfully arranged to feel collected and comfortable rather than temporary: a place where you can arrive with a suitcase and actually settle in. Located along the York Adams County line, the cottage feels wonderfully removed while remaining approximately 30 minutes from Gettysburg, Carlisle and Harrisburg. It is an especially lovely fit for someone looking for a peaceful home base, artist or writer's retreat, temporary professional housing, or simply a quieter way to live for a while. 2 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | approximately 1,120 sq. ft. | furnished | fenced in yard | private rural setting | pond + stream | covered deck One-year lease preferred.
