Historic Shady Lane
Historic Shady Lane Where Rustic Meets Elegance
From the second I found HSL online to when we met Lauren (who I'm obsessed with by the way) at our first visit we could not have imagined getting married anywhere else. I cannot, CANNOT recommend HSL or the staff any more highly. I assure you, you will not be disappointed either! —Katie & Russ (est. Oct. 2015) Photo by Sarah B Photography

The History
William Penn, the namesake of
Pennsylvania, took ownership of land, including Shady Lane.
1774 James Smith Esquire, a large proponent and signer of the Declaration of Independence, obtained the land from the Penn heirs. Smith used the land for lumber and to house workers for the Codorus Furnace.
1807 The Hake family purchased the estate and constructed the whiskey distillery, which still stands today. With its stone and

1825 Jacob Hake built the Main House for his family, which now is a private residence.
Circa 1900 Frederick Small, a York Industrialist and Harvard graduate, purchased the 34 acres for his summer home and to entertain guests. He added the green house, tennis court, bridal cottage, band stand and numerous other amenities.

THE COTTAGE Whether you’re from out of town or are our neighbor, the Cottage is your private paradise for the entire day of your wedding. Complete with separate salon, private suite, and bridal party suite as well as a full kitchen and bath, your photographer can capture every moment leading up to your “I Dos” while you relax and enjoy the vintage charm filling every room in the cottage.
“The use of the bridal cottage and den was a huge bonus and made the whole day the perfect experience. Can't say thank you enough to them, and I would highly recommend this venue for the perfect wedding!”
-- Kait & Josh
THE DEN Filled to the brim with rustic charm! The Den is the perfect spot for your other half to kick back, play some cards, and enjoy the day. The den has a full bath and kitchen, too, making it both functional and fun. Ditch the hotel room with drab decor and bring everyone to Historic Shady Lane for a fun and relaxing day!

Love Notes from The Love Birds “They were SO generous and so kind throughout the entire process and never once made us feel like we were a burden.”
- Kayte & Matt (est. 2015)
“Lauren and Steve will work with you to make sure your day is not just what you imagined but better.” - Lindsay & Dan (est. 2015)
“When you first step foot on HSL, you feel as though you have found a treasure... Many guests commented to me how amazed they were at the beauty of the place and thoroughly enjoyed exploring the property...” - Corbin & Shelia (est. 2014)
