House on Town Square-experience an early 1800s house and all of its charm!
This early 1800s original home right in the square of town will give you a memorable stay! 20 minutes to Hershey, Lebanon and Harrisburg. The three bedroom home sleeps up to 6 people. Walking distance to the local coffee shop, ice cream shop, community park and local rail trail. This house has been restored to its former glory. It has its fun quirks as all older homes do which I hope you find charming! The floors might creak or be unlevel from all its years of life being lived on them. The stairs to the second floor are very steep and narrow. You might have trouble with them if you have mobility issues. The stairs are original so they were just built to fit in the space. The 3, very spacious bedrooms are all upstairs. The two front bedrooms have full sized beds, and the rear bedroom has two twin beds. The living room has a roku smart tv and there is WiFi throughout the house. There’s a full dining room off the kitchen and a bar table for seating in the office. The house sits right on the Main Street in our small town so expect to hear street noise at times.

Liked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Disliked: Cleanliness
The shower was a complete bust. I almost fell out of the tub. 3 shower curtains barely connected to keep the water in the tub. Although the house is a historical structure, more effort is needed to make obvious repairs around the house and a safer shower. For the price, you get what you pay for.
As advertised...small quaint town. Location is fine as a "base" to visit other attractions PA. has to offer. Other than checking in/out no communication with the owner was needed which was a good thing. For the amount paid it was a great value...would stay here again.
It was great place to stay, quite and calm neighborhood, the stairs like others have said are narrow but that is expected with an older historical home. It was clean and had everything we needed. Thanks again for the stay.
We absolutely loved this house!!! The cleanliness was unbelievable!! As was the historical character!! (My husband wants the George Washington picture! And my oldest son has totally researched the house! Personally I want your sofa!!) We stayed here for the weekend to go to Hershey Park - we will DEFINITELY be back again!! Thanks for making it so warm and inviting!!
Our stay was great. The house has incredible character, which we loved. The location was perfect for our trips to Hershey Park and other attractions in the area.
We came here for long weekend trip. The house was very clean, and the owner was very responsive and helpful. The town was very nice. A lot of convinces within walking distance. There is wonderful hiking around the area.
My friends and I had a great stay at this home. It is an incredibly unique home. We had fun exploring the rooms and creating stories for the characters throughout. The home had all the amenities we needed for the weekend stay, and having the local businesses close by (driving or walking) was great. Would certainly book this location again!
The stay was great friendly and very homey place comfortable the stair were a little skinny but that comes with an older place my brothers and i really enjoy our stay
We loved this neat house full of fun personality and history! Staying with kids and teens is fun because of the fun stories you can create with the old photos. We were able to watch the smart TV after a wonderful long walk on the trails through the town and see beautiful wildlife! We went to the local coffee shop both days for delicious coffee and treats!! Quick trip to Hershey for fun too! Excellent host and communication!
My out of town daughters and granddaughters stayed with me in this home to have a little more space for a long weekend. Staying in such an old house definately made our weekend more fun and interesting. The house is wonderful with all its quirky features. The host was great as well. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Place is cute and overall good but old and creaky and has its quirk(old tub/shower). My family and i enjoyed staying here bc of the space we had to ourselves compared to hotels/motels. It's a 25 min drive to Hershey World. It's set on a main st so sometimes car/motorcycles speed by with excessive noise and engine rev'ing. Communication was good but could always be better. Again, overall good experience.
We stayed at this house for a weekend while our son was playing a baseball tournament in the Hershey area. It’s definitely a quirky old house that takes you back in time. There are lots of neat historical touches in the house and we had fun exploring it. Definitely not a place for anyone with physical challenges as the stairs and the bathroom are not disability friendly. The location is great with a nice coffee shop right across the street and a grocery store a good pizza place just down the road. Parking was also a plus with spots right in front.
We chose this place for the proximity to where we were visiting and for its history. Trust the reviews commenting on the quirkiness and the crazy stairs. The house is really old and it shows in every room from the old closed off fireplaces to the creaky floors and super steep stairs. Not sure if it’s haunted but there were a couple questionable things that happened that made us wonder. The only complaint, if you want to call it that, was the house could have been a bit more clean in some areas, but nothing we were too concerned about.
