It’s a little house/ camper on the farm property. If you don’t mind glamping camper style- you’ll be fine. The deck was really cute to hang out on and it had a great view. The hot tub is not at the little house- it’s at the main house. We drove to it (mainly because it was chilly at night but can be walkable.) The rooms were very small, studio apartment like but still very cute. It had all the essentials and we were very happy with it.

About the host

Hosted by William Denning

Host profile image
Hi! I'm Bill a super dandy dad, handyman, hobby farmer, host with the most, music lover, concert goer, animal lover, frequent dad joker, et all! LOL Also, just happen to be an aerospace engineer, commercial multi-engine instrument-rated pilot ("learning to fly but ain't got wings"-TP), master of business administration, sawyer, home remodeler, treehouse builder, retired water well driller / pump installer / water treatment expert. What is left!? I'm sure I left something out but why bore you (driller's dad joke)! If you're not bored yet feel free to ask for a tour as well as any other questions!

Why they chose this property

Beautiful farmland at the foot of the Appalachian mountains, near Swatara (Fort Indiantown) Gap - an interesting geologic feature further accentuated by Swatara Creek. We love being part of nature here and that we can ensure our slice of heaven goes undeveloped. We're close to I81 (about 3 miles) but far enough that you can barely hear it except on the clearest nights with the wind just right. Also close to Hershey Park, Knobels Grove Park, Wineries, Swatara State Park, the AT, Lebonan Reservoir, Rausch Creek and Reading Off Road parks, tons of coal mining history, and so much more. Come enjoy it with us!

What makes this property unique

Dad bought the farm in or about 1985 with funds from the sale of another mountaintop property that the government bought for the AT corridor. I've been mowing grass here ever since! We feature a 2,500-foot grass airstrip (PS20 identifier) right here so if you can fly in please do! We're a hobby farm currently with chickens, ducks, working dogs, growing vegetables, fruits, flowers, and pumpkins. We have plans to add more livestock, most likely Highland cows and or goats very soon!
