Wow, what a nice review! Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed the place. Come back again anytime!
This property along Stony Creek was exceptional. Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, super clean and a beautiful deck/yard for relaxing. We were in town to attend an XC race at Hershey Park (about 1/2hr drive). Wayne was a great host and you can tell they thought of every detail when decorating and outfitting the space. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again. Thanks!

Glad you enjoyed your stay. Come back again any time. You were great guests!
The house was spotless and roomy yet felt homey with the decor and photographs highlighting the local area. All the appliances and cookware were in perfect condition. I would suggest taking the time to back into the driveway for easy exiting. Be sure to visit this property again after the deck is finished.

This house was above and beyond what we needed and expected! It was great! Clean, cozy, and very modern. Everything you could want or need. We were there for 10 nights. And it was close to where we needed to be each day. Beautiful stream behind the house. Wayne was a great host and very responsive. Highly recommend.

It’s a slow pace, and a little slice of heaven along the creek. All the while, only minutes from downtown Harrisburg for events and convenience.
What makes this property unique
The location and decor feels like you’ve stepped back in time. Modern appliances blend in with the 1970s summer camp vibe.
