The Hershey Bungalow was so cozy and well-equipped to meet all our needs and more! It was truly a home away from home! We loved the game room. It was nice to have a stay in, game night together on our trip. The location is great! All the main attractions are so close to it. I would highly recommend staying here. We loved it.

Great Place to Stay For Hershey Park

This place was great for us (2 adults, 2 kids) and easily could've fit a few more. It was clean and the game room was really cool for the kids to spend some time as well.The owner was very communicative and made everything super easy and we didn't run into any problems.It was really close to Hersheypark, which made our visit that much better. We were able to leave the park and come back several times which made it convenient to plan with heat and rain. Would definitely come back and highly recommend to others, especially families!

My husband and I, along with a friend and our 2 dogs stayed here during the Hershey car show and swap meet this October. The location is just perfect! It is only 10 minutes away from Hersheypark and close to all attractions and good restaurants. Doug and Kyle were very quick to respond to any inquiries and the check-in was very easy. The rooms were clean and well appointed. The kitchen has all the basic needs for a home cooked meal. And our dogs were kept safe by the fenced in yard. There was also a game room but, we weren’t able to use it due to our busy schedule. I highly recommend this place. Will book it again soon.

Great family accommodations!

This is a perfect location for a family visiting the Hershey area. Very close to the outlets, Hersheypark and restaurants. We visited my son in college and then spent the weekend doing family activities. The house was very clean and the kids enjoyed the game room to watch football.

Cozy & Comfy Hershey Bungalow

We loved the home and all its well thought out extras like the complimentary snacks and coffee. The close location to Hershey Park made it very convenient to take our grandsons for our 2 day pass. They especially enjoyed the arcade in the garage. All the bedrooms were comfortable and the cooling system worked really well and we needed it after a day at the park where the temperature reached 98 degrees. Thankyou to the wonderful hosts

Lovely Home

The vrbo house pictures were accurate, but because we know the area, we were surprised the vrbo mapped the house on a different street. The location was fine-just not expected. Still conveniently located and the perfect size for our family. Host instructions and communication was top-notch! Definitely would recommend! Comfortable and Clean-

Off the path, but not far away

The check in process was super easy! The communication was accurate and timely. The kitchen had most items needed. We couldn't find grilling tools or a "big pot" for making larger meals. There was an added touch of snacks available. No Hershey kisses though :-) The only draw back for awareness, and it's NOT the property's fault... is the very loud traffic that can be heard no matter were you are in the house. Lots of semi's (at of the them speed through town as well, so be careful walking/crossing the streets). Easy to get to town, Hershey Park, Adventure Sports, and Walmart (if needed). The website is accurate of photo representation of the property.

Nice Cozy Bungalow

This is a historic house that has been remodeled in spots. It was about 10 minutes from things in Hershey. It is located on a major road so keep that in mind for road noise. Because this is a historic house don't expect every floor to be level or every corner to be perfect. It has some charm to it but you miss things from modern houses like having a master suite with a bathroom attached to a bedroom. The upstairs bathroom is a freestanding claw foot tub that I would have been too tall to shower in so I ended up using the shower in the laundry/bathroom on the bottom floor. So I had to trek downstairs each day to shower and get ready - not a big deal but keep it in mind.

Great place to spend Thanksgiving and visit Hershey

One of the best rental homes we've ever stayed in. Nicely renovated, clean, comfortable. Dining table easily sits 6 to 8 people. We had a jigsaw puzzle going at one end of the table and still room for six people to eat. Huge couch. Kids loved the game room, especially Foosball and arcade with 1000s of classic video games. Internet service is excellent; we streamed movies and YouTube on the TVs with no lag. The fenced-in yard is dog and kid friendly. We could leave our dog off leash without a worry. The fence is not fool-proof, one section is low enough for some dogs to jump over. If you have an escape artist, you might want to keep a close eye or use a leash. (this is not meant as a criticism, just something you might want to know ahead of time) Great location and easy to find. Short drive to Hershey attractions and restaurants (I recommend Funck's restaurant and Lisa's Cafe). We found a nice walking/hiking trail a short drive away (Labanon Valley Rail Trail). The host is very helpful and friendly. We did not meet in person, but email and text communications were timely. Check-in and check-out were simple and easy. The house was clean and ready for use on arrival. I appreciated that towels and sheets are provided so we didn't need to pack them. I recommend Hershey Bungalow to anyone, especially with kids and pets. We would like to stay there again sometime.
