Hershey Park Family Trip
We chose this house because it was about 25 minutes from Hershey. It was an adorable cottage that was a perfect fit for our friends and family to stay. The host was great at communicating and shared plenty of information. The host was also very responsive when I had questions. This cottage is perfect for a small group looking for a getaway.
