About this property

4.7 K sq ft, 5 BR/5BA, 10 BD, Hershey, Gettysburg, Roundtop, Carlisle, Farm Show

This house has almost 4700 sq, square feet with 5 bedrooms and 5 FULL baths and there are 10 beds including two trundles. There are no bunk beds. It is one of the largest rentals in the area and it certainly has more full baths than any of the competition. Also, it is one of the closest to Roundtop Mountain Resort. There are four bedrooms on the upper level, one on the 1st level, and NONE in the basement or attic although we do have a basement and an attic, we don't think people should sleep there. It sleeps 12 and there are 10 separate beds: 1 king, three queens, four fulls and two trundle beds. The two master suites have a king and a queen bed respectively. It is located 5 minutes from Route 15, is 15 minutes from Ski Roundtop, and is located, less than a 1/2 hour from Gettysburg, Harrisburg, Hershey, and the Farm Show Complex. PA Dutch Country is 45 minutes away. It is close to Messiah College, Dickenson College, Carlisle, and Pinchot National Park.

We have a large deck for you to enjoy and it has a glider, chairs, cocktail table, a dining table and a propane grill. In addition, we have a propane fire pit table on the deck to warm you on cool autumn nights. If you prefer to stay inside, we have a nice fireplace to keep you warm.

Your family or group will have plenty of room to spread out with two master suites (one is on the main level and one on the second) PLUS three additional very good sized bedrooms, and 5 full bathrooms, all with showers. The Jacuzzi tub in the upstairs master bath but is not operational at this time.

In the kitchen, you will find everything you need to make a gourmet meal (the Giant is 5 minutes away) including china for a fancy meal or use the everyday dinnerware or the outdoor place settings. Our large dining table can accommodate 10 - 12 with our additional dining benches or just eat at the table while watching TV. We have stayed in short-term rentals before and we have been very disappointed in the lack of small things like matching towels, and glasses/china and nice sheets. In this house, you will find everything as you would have it at your home.

However you will NOT find our clothes in the closets, nick-knacks from past vacations to the shore, or the like. Actually about 99 percent of the furnishings including furniture, linens, towels, dishes, cookware, etc. were but for the house when we started renting and are being replaced on an as-needed basis. We love the clean, uncluttered look of Maison SAB and we think you'll appreciate not feeling like you are intruding in someone else's home.

There is a Florida type room where you can take your coffee in the morning and watch the birds in the large yard. Off that room is the deck with lots of seating, a dining table, a propane grill, and a beautiful view of the backyard. At the end of the big yard, there is a creek that is small enough to jump across but big enough to float a toy boat or just listen to the swoosh of the water passing by. The house is in a suburban location of other similar large homes.

The lower level has a bar with bar stools, a sectional, a full-size pool table, and a large 60 inch TV.

Enjoy the many sites and events in Dillsburg or the surrounding area which including the Harrisburg Farm Show, The Car Show, or visit the historic sites of Harrisburg. Going the other direction, south, in about 1/2 hour you are in Gettysburg where you won't want to miss the battlefield and many historic sites. Still, in the other direction, you can spend a day at Hershey Park or Pennsylvania Dutch Country. You can visit any of these sites and be home for dinner.

If you are a skier, snowboarder, or want to go tubing, Roundtop Mountain Resort is only 15 minutes away and they have activities in the winter for kids and adults. If you are a beginner or advanced, they have just about any kind of lesson you may want to take.

The house is about 5 minutes off of Route 15 and about a 1/2 hour to Gettysburg, Hershey, PA Dutch Country, and the Farm Show Complex in Harrisburg. We are 15 minutes to Roundtop Mountain Resort and Pinchot National Park. You will find plenty to do in all seasons. It is less than 30 minutes to Harrisburg International Airport.

In 10 minutes you can be playing golf on a well-maintained public golf course complete with bar/restaurant,

The house was perfect for our group! Large open kitchen/living room for hanging out. The back deck was perfect for grilling and gathering as well. The sleeping arrangements were spot on for our group with plenty of beds. we would definitely utilize the house again!

Big house for big family
Unfortunately, we were in town for a funeral, but the house was big enough to house my family of five, my cousins and their kids and my other uncle and cousin. It was nice to have somewhere to stay near family.

About the host

Hosted by Dennise

Host profile image
We have purposefully decorated the house to have all the conveniences of home but none of the memorabilia like pictures of our family or souvenirs from the beach. You will not feel like you are in someone else's home. This is not our permanent residence and we only use it seasonally. We have associates helping us run it and if there is something you need during your stay, it can be taken care of right away.

Why they chose this property

We are about 5 minutes or less from route 15 (Giant Food, beer wine, etc.) and we are centrally located 1/2 hour to Hershey and in the other direction 1/2 hour to Gettysburg. We are 15 minutes from Ski Roundtop and 20 or so to Harrisburg. PA Dutch Country is 45 minutes away. All are very convenient to go for a day trip and be back in time for dinner. The house has plenty of room to spread-out and there are five bathrooms so five showers can be going on at once. No waiting for someone to finish in the bath before you can shower. Also, we don't ask you to double-up in the beds in order to say we sleep 12. We have 10 separate beds and two master suites, in five bedrooms, sleeping a total of 12.

What makes this property unique

We have furnished this house in December 2016 with 99% new furniture, plus all-new towels, sheets, beds, mattress, blankets, pillows, dishes, silverware, etc. As things wear-out we replace them. You won't find any hand-me-downs or old used furniture or anything that you wouldn't consider using in your own home.

We have one security camera located outside with a view of the driveway and front yard.
