Such a great place to stay relax and rewind after an all day family reunion in Hershey.The place was clean, spacious and easy to get to. We would definitely book a stay again!
We were in town for a family wedding and needed somewhere to stay after a long drive for the night. Place was really nice, clean, plenty of space, nice and cool with AC. The property manager and host were so incredibly nice and accommodating! They really went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of and comfortable.
The Hershey Family home was great and exactly as expected. The owners were very attentive to any questions, responding quickly. The home was very clean and comfortable. Loved how we could get to where we were going quickly from the home’s location. Would definitely stay here again!! 💕
it was perfect! Very clean and only minutes to the stadium where we were going fora concert. Walking distance to restaurant! Would definitely stay here again! Thank you
No picture of exterior home or description that it was a double block. Parking was terrible. Neighbors weren’t nice. Ice maker broken. Says sleeps 8 but only 3 beds. So no extra blankets or pillows for the big sectional. Couldn’t get into home as the access code was changed by cleaners. Home owners didn’t respond to messages through VRBO timely.
Conveniently located near attractions, street parking for one car in front of the home for ease of entry/exit. Host was quick to respond to messages as well. Home was super clean and beautiful. Giant couch is super comfy (I need one!) two bedrooms have a/c, one does not, however, was not an issue for us at all. TV remotes were a little confusing, and the patio string lights wouldn’t turn on but again, we just went with it. We had a great stay, as I’m sure others will as well.
We chose for pet friendly and close to Hershey lodge convention. Home was clean and nicely rehabbed. I'm insanely jealous of the first floor hardwood floors which were breathtaking on entry! Kitchen was functional, but could be a tad better appointed with the basics. We made due and were prepared just in case as we never really know with vrbo homes what cutlery/dishes etc will be available. It did not change our comfort. Parking was street only, which was ok after unloading. Nice place, we'll rent again if needed!
Property was exactly as described & shown in the pictures. We had a late arrival, so it was hard to see the address from the outside, upon arrival. The outside of the property was ok, but the inside was very nice & most importantly spacious & clean. Plenty of towels, which most of us didn’t use. The rooms were adequate in size. Although, we only stayed one night, it would’ve been nice if there was a recreational room for kids. Price was reasonable. Again, cleanliness was the most important factor, and I would recommend this place, especially if it’s a short stay. It is also very convenient to Hershey.

Did not return our purse left behind
I contacted the owner and advised one of our girls left their purse. They said the found it but now not responding and didn’t send it. We offered to pay for shipping but have not heard back in over a week.
Home is beautiful, clean and spacious with a very nice private patio.Neighborhood is good with safe surroundings.It’s a two minute car drive to center of town with great places to eat.Parking is an issue. There is supposed to be an area for two cars right outside the home. However there was a mid size sedan already occupying their spot which made parking my mid size sedan impossible. So I had to park on a side street.A side note: shower pressure was a tiny bit on the low side…
Things went very well, this house had the perfect amount of space for 5 adults. The living room and kitchen are spacious. The bedding and comfort items are a bit lacking. There were exactly enough pillows and blankets on the beds, no extras… And they were not the greatest. We were left exactly 5 full size towels for 5 women for 3 days which wasn’t ideal. Parking is tight but the house does have one space. Any additional vehicles need to find street parking. We had zero issue parking around the corner, but it was not peek tourist season. House was very simple to figure out but there is no house binder or rules. We had to do literally nothing at checkout which was nice. Host was quick to respond when I asked about any additional instructions. Loved the proximity to attractions and the park but you are just outside the village so I would not recommend walking with kids as there is a small portion without side walks heading into town unless you use side streets. Overall a nice stay.
Owner was very accessible whenever I messaged. The house was very clean, beds comfortable, cute Kisses by the beds for a treat. The TV was easy to use. Only a few minor criticisms: The air fresheners were over powering and I had to unplug several while we were there. The AC window units go on and off during the night. There was no shampoo or soap for the shower.
List as advertised— great stay for my family of 4 including 2 small kids. It was spacious and clean, I was worried about the AC given an old review but there was a ton of units and it was very comfortable. The location is minutes away from everything. It’s close to busy roads but that’s why it’s so accessible to the park and the downtown area. A parking spot in front of the house too so no issue parking. I’d definitely book here again.
Area was not great for neighborhood vibe. Train noise is constant. Poor communication with host. House is not great. No house instructions at all. House had few amenities. Would not book again !

Nice but we left. Ended up on a hotel.
Nice property. But not good for someone who is sensitive to smell. Food order was present. Not sure if it was from tenant downstairs or previous visitors. We ended up leaving to stay at a hotel the second night. Overall the house is clean. Good size place for small family. Scared the crap out of the kids because one light switch turns off the lights upstairs in the bedroom. Location is nice and very close Hersey! Parking in front is not ideal if you have a big car but there are other options . Walls are thin you can hear tv from the neighbor and the movement of the tenant downstairs. Nice living room space to hang out. . Would recommend tv in bedrooms upstairs or at least the master.
