Hello!  Greetings from the Nissleys of Jonde Lane Farm!  We have been welcoming guests into our home since 1982 and we invite YOU to enjoy the "Country Comforts" of our farm and home! We are a Mennonite couple with 6 grown children and 12 grandchildren. Or farm has been in the Nissley family since it was built in 1859.

We have a variety of animals for you to see and enjoy-even help care for, if you want a hands on experience!  There are the sheep named "Sugar"~ and a goat named "Brownie", and a miniature horse we call "Peanut". Our dog answers to the name of "Ebony" (guess what color she is?) and our snow white bunny named "Bonbon. Then we also have Holstein heifers, and chickens too numerous to name.

Your children will love the kittens and the play area on our spacious lawn. Our porch swing and rockers are waiting for you to "sit a spell" and relax! Our farm is well off the road which contributes to an abundance of peace and quiet.  And the sunrise and sunset from our perspective is spectacular!

Our 1859 brick farmhouse was built by John's great-great-great grandfather. We offer four guest rooms in our home. The HEN HOUSE is on the main floor with a private  entrance from the back porch. This room has a private bath, refrigerator, and microwave. Your grandmother would recognize the chicken memorabilia which decorates this room. On the second floor is the PIGS PALACEHOLSTEIN HAVEN, and the RABBITS REST. These three rooms share two bathrooms in the hallway. These rooms, and THE LOFT on the third floor, have semi-private baths.

Our guests are invited to join us every morning for a hot farm breakfast, at 8:15, around our large farm kitchen table. Sunday mornings a continental  breakfast, with home baked goodies, is served at your convenience. There is a standing invitation for all our guests to join us for worship on Sunday morning in our Mennonite Church. There are picnic facilities and a nature trail along the creek on our farm, and a covered bridge just down the road.  The roads near our farm, as well as a near-by off-road linear park are great for walking or biking. And if you want to sight-see in our beautiful Lancaster County, we will be glad to direct you to places of your interest.

We request the first nights payment or MC/Visa number as  confirmation to hold your reservation.  Full refunds will be given if cancellation is made 10 days prior to the scheduled arrival date, or at a later date if the room can be rented. We'd be happy to have you share our lifestyle!  Just let us know when!  We'll be waiting for you with lots of country hospitality!

John and Elaine
