The location was very convenient and the owner was very accomodating. The house was very clean. I would recommend to use unscented laundry cleaners though because of some people's sensitivity to scents. We enjoyed our stay here and would rent again.

We had a wonderful and relaxing stay here while we dropped our son off at Dickinson. The place has everything you need inside, and the location is great for both the historical section of Carlisle as well as modern stores, movie theater, etc. The owner was responsive and helpful and we had a great time.

Great stay!

The property is spacious for a family and so clean, it had everything we could ask for. It’s located at a great place, quiet at night but walkable to a few things. Light sleepers may need to bring additional things for light/sounds as the blinds do let in some street light from the sides, but overall, our family would stay here again on our next stop to Carlisle!

Perfect stay for Truck Nationals

This was the perfect place forcoyr family for our annual visit for the Carlisle Truck Nationals. Great location/distance. Quiet neighborhood ( no loud /rowdy ppl going up & down hotel hallways or loud truck exhausts outside your windows). Perfect for families who want to enjoy their time in peace & quiet after the craziness of the day in the fairgrounds. House is absolutely adorable, clean and tge hoat has made it feel like home away from home.

This house was perfect for our family to stay at for the weekend! Great location that we were able to do Hershey, yet stay in a cute town. The townhome itself was very clean and perfect for kiddos- easily kid proofed. Connie was very responsive, and gave us more than we needed for a great getaway.

Everything was perfect. My husband, stepson, nephew, and I stayed for a long weekend to visit HersheyPark and this was the perfect place to relax after a long day of walking. Connie, the host, was incredibly responsive, kind, and helpful in making the weekend a success. Conveniently located close to shopping, restaurants, and the like, it was also clean and had everything we needed for the weekend!

Clean, cozy, excellent home!

My mom, daughter and I stayed here for a week and had a lovely time! The home was clean and well appointed. The neighborhood was a short walk to a shopping center with a movie theater and was a short drive to the Dickinson campus. The living room was comfortable and had a TV with every streaming service we could want. I will definitely stay again!
