Our story

We are called to create havens of rest.

We own and operate JKS & CO, a home renovation company in our hometown of Lancaster, PA.

We ship heirloom-quality American made goods nationwide with our online store Millstream Home.

And most importantly, we tend to the soul and legacy of home with our five beautiful children. They are the greatest gifts of our lives and they are building us.

Together, we have dedicated our life to all things home.

Welcome to The Cottages,

With Love,

Jake & Janelle

Picked with care

Not just any location will do for The Cottages. We knew these walls and back roads would be holding your memories + moments. Meadow views, natural springs, historic towns, gentle creeks, acres of farming fields, starry nights! The Cottages are located only in peaceful and quiet surroundings.

“After all," Anne had said to Marilla once, "I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea
