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!

Connie's House

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.

Amazing Stay!!

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!
