Nice Cozy Bungalow

This is a historic house that has been remodeled in spots. It was about 10 minutes from things in Hershey. It is located on a major road so keep that in mind for road noise. Because this is a historic house don't expect every floor to be level or every corner to be perfect. It has some charm to it but you miss things from modern houses like having a master suite with a bathroom attached to a bedroom. The upstairs bathroom is a freestanding claw foot tub that I would have been too tall to shower in so I ended up using the shower in the laundry/bathroom on the bottom floor. So I had to trek downstairs each day to shower and get ready - not a big deal but keep it in mind.

Lovely Home

The vrbo house pictures were accurate, but because we know the area, we were surprised the vrbo mapped the house on a different street. The location was fine-just not expected. Still conveniently located and the perfect size for our family. Host instructions and communication was top-notch! Definitely would recommend! Comfortable and Clean-

Great place to spend Thanksgiving and visit Hershey

One of the best rental homes we've ever stayed in. Nicely renovated, clean, comfortable. Dining table easily sits 6 to 8 people. We had a jigsaw puzzle going at one end of the table and still room for six people to eat. Huge couch. Kids loved the game room, especially Foosball and arcade with 1000s of classic video games. Internet service is excellent; we streamed movies and YouTube on the TVs with no lag. The fenced-in yard is dog and kid friendly. We could leave our dog off leash without a worry. The fence is not fool-proof, one section is low enough for some dogs to jump over. If you have an escape artist, you might want to keep a close eye or use a leash. (this is not meant as a criticism, just something you might want to know ahead of time) Great location and easy to find. Short drive to Hershey attractions and restaurants (I recommend Funck's restaurant and Lisa's Cafe). We found a nice walking/hiking trail a short drive away (Labanon Valley Rail Trail). The host is very helpful and friendly. We did not meet in person, but email and text communications were timely. Check-in and check-out were simple and easy. The house was clean and ready for use on arrival. I appreciated that towels and sheets are provided so we didn't need to pack them. I recommend Hershey Bungalow to anyone, especially with kids and pets. We would like to stay there again sometime.

Sister Weekend/Birthday Celebration

Had a great time at this house. Big enough for 6 sisters to get together for the long weekend and celebrate a big birthday. Has all you need and close to everything. Went to Hershey Gardens and the Outlets. Stayed in and had a blast too. Will definitely recommend to others and stay again! Kyle was very helpful and responsive! Thanks!
