This is the secret love nest that will draw Lady Gaga to the seclusion of a remote woodland and allow her to begin married life away from the full-on glare of showbusiness.
The 28-year-old New Yorker and her husband- to-be Taylor Kinney will escape the spotlight by settling into the three-bedroom house the TV star bought in 2013 for $390,000.
It is tucked away on a mountain top, a few miles from the center of Lancaster, PA, and is only accessible via a single track road, which has 'Do Not Trespass' signs.
Few in the area are aware that one of the most famous names in pop and the model turned actor, who appears in Chicago Fire, are intending to stay in the property after they tie the knot.

The couple were engaged on Valentine's Day and Gaga - real name Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta - announced his proposal earlier this week by posting a picture of her heart-shaped diamond ring on social media.
Experts say the ring is likely to be worth as much as $500,000, and Gaga wrote: 'He gave me his heart on Valentine's Day , and I said YES.'
Taylor, 33, has already brought his fiancée to Lancaster several times to help her get used to the isolation the home will afford them.
He also owns a property in Beverly Hills and she owns an apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan close to Central Park.
Locals in Lancaster have seen the couple out countless times over the past few months walking through the market square, enjoying a drink in the Bull Head bar and buying their groceries at the local Giant supermarket chain store.
The 'Bad Romance' star has been barely recognizable as the flamboyant singer she is best known as and those who have seen her say she has been left untroubled by fans, who respect her privacy.
Taylor studied at the Lancaster Mennonite School and is remembered for being an all-action sports hero, excelling at volleyball and helping his teammates win several trophies.

Volleyball hero: Taylor Kinney was on the volleyball side and a regular student who showed no interest in drama - but who is now hot in Hollywood
The school's acting superintendent Miles Yoder told Daily Mail Online: 'Taylor was a very likeable young man. He was very popular and very good at sports.
'He showed no interest in drama while here and studied core subjects like the Bible and attended chapel classes.'
In the school year book, however, Taylor, was described as ' volleyball star, carefree, goffy and committed.'
Mr Yoder added: 'Naturally, we are very proud of him and of all our pupils who go on and do well.'
Schoolfriend Eric Kinnel, who was on the volleyball team with him, said:'Taylor was one of our best Volleyball players. He was in the team with me.'
'I remember he took the team to district playoffs. He had a great senior year.'
He didn't stay in touch with Taylor after he graduated.
'He was a great guy. In high school he was very quiet, very nice. He was friendly.'

Asked if the handsome Taylor was a ladies man in high school, Kennel said: 'He had a lot of friends that were girls, let's put it that way.'
He said it was surreal to see someone he knew in the spotlight and added: 'I was shocked. We really wish him the best. It's a little weird. You don't think someone from Lancaster will be famous like that.'
Asked if he would like to go to the wedding, he quipped: 'I don't expect an invitation, but if he did, I'd go. It'd be my closest claim to fame. 'I'm happy for him and Lady Gaga. I wish them the best.'
Gaga proved a hit with locals when she attended a service at a church and toned down her act when she witnessed the baptism of Taylor's baby nephew Rusty, son of his brother Trent.
One member of the Grand View United Methodist Church said: 'The word went around about five minutes before she arrived that she was going to be there.
'There had been far-fetched talk about her attending in the week before and people laughed …then she showed up.
'We knew that Trent's brother was dating her, but it was incredible that she came in without any fuss and was very respectful with no hint of any celebrity fuss. She came in through a side door and left quietly afterwards with Taylor.'
But Gaga had a little surprise for the church's pianist Liz Fulmer as she sent her a text message congratulating her and said: 'Hi Liz, it's Gaga... You were sensational. Keep up the amazing work.'

Liz, 24, who is studying English at Millersville University, said: 'I nearly passed out when I heard she was going to be in the audience a few minutes before the service began.
'As I sat down at the keyboard, I could see her in the pews. She was parallel with me. But I just got on with it and it seemed to go well.'
She played 'The First Noel' and then her own composition 'He is Coming' which wowed Gaga and is now set to be released on iTunes and as an EP with other songs written by Liz.
'I am so grateful that she backed me. But I want to be careful and not use Lady Gaga. I hope my music speaks for itself,' she said.
'But it was a dream come true as I am a big fan of hers. I have all the records, posters on the wall and I know all her dance moves.'
If the celebrity couple decide to move permanently to Lancaster, they will live in one of the older inland towns in the US. It was originally called Hickory Town and the city was renamed after the English city of Lancaster and incorporated in 1818.
But if they leave their love nest, they are likely to bump into other famous pop stars.

Last week, Nickleback were staying in town and last, month Usher could be seen walking around.
Lancaster houses Tate Towers in Lititz, which has the biggest studio, set building and rehearsal spaces in the United States.
Owner Michael Tate, who has helped build sets for Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga herself, said famous rock names are not new to Lancaster.
'I suppose it is ironic that we built the set for Gaga's Monster tour and met her at Madison Square Garden and that now she is marrying somebody from here.
'But she'll find it fine here. Nobody will bother here. She'll be quite comfortable whenever she's in the area.'
Mr Tate employs 460 people and they and locals are not fazed by seeing some of the world's most famous stars pounding the pavements.
Mr Tate, who has lived in London and Melbourne, designed a rock 'n roll suite at the Bulls Head where music industry people stay. The penthouse includes music themes rooms and, of course, a green room.

Let Lady Gaga inspire you in a matching look by Alexis Walsh
She only got engaged to Taylor Kinney on Valentine's Day, but already Lady Gaga is starting to think about her big white dress!
Gaga doesn't exactly do things by halves, but we reckon she wants a big princess-esque wedding dress as much as the rest of us. But at least she got the shade right with this outfit, teaming some oversized sunglasses with a white high neck crop top and matching mini skirt.
Proving the power of pairs, both her top and skirt are by New York-based designer Alexis Walsh and we love that the pieces are handmade. Hailing from the Spring/Summer 2015 collection, the structured shape is typical of the artist's architectural approach, and the skirt has even got a handy pocket on the left side to hide Gaga's hand!
Click the link (right) to check out the collection now. But if you were thinking more high street than handmade, then shop the options we've got lined up for you below. Missguided, AX Paris and Motel have all got co-ordinates that will do the trick. Then make like Lady Gaga and accessorise with metallic heels and ideally a heart-shaped diamond ring...
