Did you know that vacation rental sites penalize hosts who fall below a 4.7-star rating? Many people believe that the star ratings are like a hotel's rating system. Unfortunately, the rating system is not built that way! A Four-star review significantly and negatively impacts the average overall rating, making it a challenge for hosts like us to maintain our listing!

Spacious Apartment with a Beautiful View of the River
Immaculately clean and spacious apartment with a beautiful view of the Susquehanna River from the living room window. I stayed here for two nights on business and the apartment was stocked with everything I needed: hairdryer, clothes iron, extra towels, extra pillows, etc). The bed was comfortable and the sheets/towels were of good quality. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was also helpful. It was nice to have an off street parking spot for my rental car. The owner was communicative and the check in/check out process was easy. The only negative was the sound of traffic on Front Street. Some of the noise was the driver's fault as they drove with modified exhausts as though they were on a race track. But the building and windows are charmingly old and the sound comes through. If I ever return to Harrisburg, I would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the Riverfront Pent House! The apartment was nicely redone in an absolutely wonderful location! Communication with the host was top notch as well. We really appreciated the insight to the area and check in when we arrived. 5/5!

Spacious, clean apartment with great view
We loved our stay at this rental. It was completely renovated at the top floor with a wonderful riverfront view and tons of windows for natural light. The host was very detail-oriented and attentive, which was great. I would absolutely recommend this rental. Thank you!

3rd Floor Walk-up
Nice clean unit with queen bed and well equipped kitchen. Nice modern appliances throughout. The air conditioner in the bedroom does an excellent job of keeping that room comfortable on hot summer days while the air conditioner in the living room/kitchen area struggles to keep up. Kitchen lighting is very poor. While the unit is in good condition, the building is quite rundown in general and is right on a major thoroughfare along the river with lots of traffic making it impossible to sleep in.

About the host

Hosted by Burg BnB

Host profile image
BurgBnB strives to offer upscale living in premium locations throughout Central PA. The aesthetics are inspired by my travels which have taken me to every state in the US and over 20 countries. I moved to Harrisburg from Seattle in January 2018 and sought to find a home that would allow me to continue living an urban lifestyle with easy access to nature. I fell in love with this quality in the Pacific Northwest and now seek to share it with the world through my rentals. My home is your home and I value the opportunity to help you fall in love with Harrisburg the same way I have. From the quaint coffee shops, Broad Street Market, award winning happy hours and the surprisingly strong food scene; Harrisburg has something for everyone!

A modern space in an historic building gives you the best of both worlds during your stay. Perfect space for pet owners with the capital greenbelt across the street for walking.
