We needed a weekend house for 6 people to attend a family member’s wedding. The house was close to the venue and all the places we wanted to go in the Harrisburg area. It has a nice layout with 2 bedrooms upstairs and 2 down. Everything was clean and both bathrooms had plenty of towels.

Great place for families and kids

Layout of the house worked great to have the kids downstairs and us adults upstairs. Quiet neighborhood with quick access to highway. Quick responses from owner when needed. Highly recommended!

Overall the house was nice. The location was good for my planned activities. The one huge negative was the air conditioner was not working upstairs, so it was very hot. The last night of our stay window units were brought in making it the only night sleeping was restful.

Excellent family home

Rented this home during the Great American Outdoor Show to share with family. We had a great time and the home is perfect. Plenty of room, clean and convenient location. Excellent communication from the property contact and we couldn't have asked for more. Thank you!

Location was great, host was wonderful and layout was nice. It is an older home and in the process of being renovated. Would have been nice to have some games.

Good house for what we needed

We visited the area for Hershey and Lancaster. Nice and centrally located and a good house to crash after a long day. The lock on the front door was broken and the trash cans were overflowing and blocking the garage when we arrived. The bathrooms and kitchen weren’t as clean as I expected, I found a used hair tie in the shower, there was rust stains from the soap dispensers on the sinks, and there was toothpaste caked on the sink as well. The couch downstairs was really uncomfortable but the beds were nice and soft and cozy. Overall, the house fit our needs well but for the price, I expected the features and cleanliness to be a little higher standard.

The house was conveniently located about 30 minutes from Hershey Park and easy to find. It had enough space for my children, and a list of restaurants was provided. We tried Piazza Sorrento in Hershey, which was both affordable and very good. However, there were no games or activity suggestions for families, which would have been helpful. The neighborhood seemed fine at first, but driving further into Harrisburg felt a bit unsafe. The home looked much nicer in the pictures than in reality. Landscaping was disappointing, with weeds instead of grass, and flies often came inside when doors were opened. A few spiders were also found in the bathroom.Do not park in the driveway, especially if you have a newer car. There are large holes where the asphalt meets the sidewalk and the sidewalk itself is uneven, causing cars to bottom out. Street parking is safer. Inside, the kitchen counters and backsplash were updated, but the cabinets were old. The kitchen was well stocked, which was appreciated. The upstairs bathroom had poor water pressure, with water running from both the shower head and tub faucet, and only a cheap plastic shower curtain. The downstairs bed looked nice but was oddly supported by slanted wooden posts; thankfully, all beds were still comfortable. The deck was dirty, though the outdoor furniture didn't seem sturdy. Don't plan staying again when we revisit Hershey Park.
