Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Dave Hilyard
We are a family of 5 with 2 girls and 1 boy. The two girls are in college and our son is in High school. They are involved with running the vacation rental with us. Mindy grew up in this area and graduated high school here. She has many family close by. Dave grew up in western PA, here, and southern Virginia where he graduated high school. We currently reside in Mount Joy, PA, just a short 15 minute drive from the Chalet.
We also love to travel as a family and as a couple as well. Our adventures have taken us to popular Ski resorts and national parks, nation wide. We have done some international travel as well. One of our favorite overseas trips was to Ireland. This is where the name Donegal originated. Count Donegal in northern section of Ireland to be specific. It is also the name of the municipality the Chalet is located in.

Why they chose this property
The inspiration for the Chalet is from the different places we have stayed in mountain towns and ski resorts. We are drawn to the small town, village type places tucked away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We still like to stay connected while traveling, but like the feel of being away from congested areas. That has formed the choice of location for our Chalet.
We purchased this property in 2020 with the sole purpose of offering it as a short term vacation rental. We have hosted many couples and families since April of 2021.

What makes this property unique
The number one quality of our property is the location. It is rural but close enough to everything central PA has to offer. The second thing distinct about our property is the rustic modern feel. It's like staying in a Chalet on the side of a mountain without the seclusion from and distance from all that is available locally and regionally.
