Our family of 8 adults and 4 little grandchildren had so much fun! The pool was especially a big hit with everyone. And there were so many fun rafts and rings provided at the pool too. Out host even left a basket of snacks and coffee. We would definitely stay here again if we travel back to Hershey Park

We have a yearly get together and have stayed at many properties, this is one of our favorites! The pool was fantastic, plus heated. The outside area was perfect for us to sit around the fire pit every night. Everything was updated inside and was perfect for our size group. It was interesting having two bedrooms connected with only one entrance and the main patio door being connected to a bedroom, but we made it work.

This property was a great choice for our family. We had 5 adults and 5 children (2 years-11 years of age) on this trip. The highlights were the game room in the basement, the swimming pool and the attractions in the area, which were nearby. The dining room table did not accommodate all of us at a meal. One of the chairs had been previously damaged and repaired but the repair did not hold. I notified the owner the morning after but it was the morning we left, so nothing could be done about it for our needs. The owner said he would get it seen to after we left.The configuration of this property is not ideal and looks as though it is the result of additions to the house. To access the furthest bedroom from the kitchen open plan living area, you have to go through another bedroom. This could be intrusive if your group has couples who want privacy.The pool was well maintained, with clean, clear water and our kids really enjoyed swimming, playing and diving. There are several floaties and tubes for bigger kids with one for our youngest. There is a high fence with a lock that small children can’t reach.The house sits very close to a busy road and there were road works and workers nearby which made leaving the property slightly more difficult. We did not feel the younger children could be out front without close supervision. There is a great supermarket nearby. We didn’t go to any of the local restaurants - too many of us!! We had a great time at Hershey Park and the caverns

Game Room Was A Hit

The whole process and communication was smooth. The house was as expected, plenty of room for our group. The kids enjoyed having a separate room of games downstairs. On a somewhat busy street (some traffic and noise) but not a big deal. Great location for Hersheypark.

Family Funeral

I reserved this property for my family. My aunt had recently passed away and we were traveling from Georgia to attend her services. My Dad is 80 years old and having bedrooms on the main floor was a necessity for him. The house was spacious and accommodated 6 adults with ease. The home is conveniently located near grocery stores, gas stations and is an easy drive to the Harrisburg airport.

Great space for groups

We had a great girls trip! The house was spacious and well-appointed. We were able to cook and had all the dishes and utensils that we needed. We enjoyed our time gathered in the living room. (The remote control for the TV was not the easiest to use, but with a little patience and fine motor practice, we got where we needed to go.) The pool was a lovely addition to the home and the reason that we chose it. We spent a good bit of our weekend floating in the pool and relaxing around it. (We would have loved to enjoy the fire pit, but were deterred at needing to purchase our own propane. As someone who uses this type of propane for all my cooking and hot water needs, I know that it costs approximately $22 to trade in a tank...which lasts me about 3 weeks. While $22 is not a lot, it is more than we wanted to spend to enjoy an hour or two around the fire. The grill was the same.) We did not end up taking advantage of the patio or basement...but both spaces had lots of potential. The lights on the patio created a cozy space. The basement had several games and things from which to choose. The space was clean and the check in and out process was quick and easy. We would definitely consider this home again if we were to visit this area in the future.

This listing is misleading, rent with caution. Although the house is listed as having 5 bedrooms and sleeping 12, it only has four bedrooms, and it also fails to mention that one of those four bedrooms can only be accessed by walking through another one of the bedrooms. This might work for parents/kids, but for adult couples staying together it can make things a bit weird if people go to bed or wake up at different times. There are only enough beds to sleep 10 people, the other 2 would have to be on a "pull out couch" which is in the living room and (surprise!) doesn't actually pull out or work in any way. That made it pretty inconvenient for our group of 11. The listing photos show five bedrooms, but one of the bedrooms is actually shown twice (before and after a remodel) to give the appearance of five different rooms. Trust me, there only four. House is very strangely set up due to being a older house that was remodeled (if you walk out of the bathroom you slam your shin on the side of concrete stairs that used to lead outside from the kitchen, but are now inside). On our last day we discovered a mouse had been helping itself to several of the snacks that were in a grocery bag on a chair in the bedroom (see our photos below). Despite these serious issues, the owner would not provide the partial refund we requested. Very poor form. It is also on a busy street with a short driveway.Things we liked: Pool and pool area, game room in basement.

Overall this was a convenient spot for a family going to Hershey Park and surrounding areas. The house was clean and had the basics for cooking utensils and sheets and towels. It was good for what we needed, but a few things were not ideal. The host was quick to respond when we had a few issues and came by to inspect a leak we noticed in the basement. The pool was nice and there were inner tubes and lots of chairs around the pool. A few things to consider when booking:1. This house is on a pretty busy road. We definitely heard street noise and cars in the morning which made it hard for the people sleeping toward the front of the house. 2. Curtains were very thin and let in a ton of light. Bring your eye masks or some extra sheets to cover the windows if you don’t want to wake up at 5am. 3. The basement had some games and a pool table, but it was so damp and musty and smelly that we couldn’t go down there. The owner did come by to adjust the dehumidifier but it didn’t make much difference by the time we left. It was a bummer since we had kids who would have liked to play down there but the smell and allergy issue was just too much of an issue.

We had a great stay overall and would recommend this home for larger families visiting Hersheypark. The owner was very responsive, and the welcome basket of snacks was a thoughtful touch after traveling.The pool was the highlight of our stay! The massage chair, washer/dryer, central air, and three full bathrooms were all huge perks. The AC worked consistently, which was especially appreciated during the heat wave. The location was very convenient to Hersheypark.A few things future guests may want to know: Bring extra bath and pool towels for larger groups, as well as food storage containers for leftovers. We also nearly ran out of toilet paper. The far bathroom sink drained very slowly, shower pressure was low, and we noticed a few small ants near one bathroom sink.The Wi-Fi was inconsistent, and the basement had a mildew/air freshener smell. We heard possible rodent sounds in the king bedroom, possibly related to the bird feeder outside that room. We also noticed tiny flying insects around the pool and a nest in the soffit; two guests were stung, but the owner was responsive and tried to address it.The pool area stone can get slippery, and remember the door code since exterior doors lock automatically. One bedroom is accessed through another bedroom, and the easiest route to the pool is through a bedroom. The driveway is on a busy road, so entering and exiting takes extra caution.The positives outweighed the negatives. The pool, location, amenities made this great!
