My wife and I took our children and their families out to Amish Country for a family gathering and Christmas shopping. The kids had never been there before. Well, the area sells itself, and the Mockingbird Lodge was the cherry on top of the sundae. I kept hearing all week on how they were all coming back and as far as a VRBO property, this was their favorite.What made it their favorite was the cleanliness, location and amenities of the the lodge. Also, I believe the fact their were no televisions in the lodge added an unexpected benefit. The family got to experience and entertain each other vs having actors in movies doing it for us.We give the Mockingbird Lodge 6 out of 5 stars and cannot wait to visit again.
