The house and location was perfect for our family of nine, five adults and four kids. Most of our time was spent at Hersheypark, but it was a great place to come back to! We enjoyed the gazebo, unfortunately too cool to use the pool. Thanks again.

Great Family Stay

My family and I enjoyed our stay here immensely! The pool was great for the kids and there were enough rooms and beds to sleep our family of nine. This is our second time staying here and we would love to stay again the next time we visit family in Palmyra!

Great Hershey Getaway

This was the perfect home for our family to stay while visiting Hershey for the weekend. The house is HUGE and gave us all plenty of room to spread out and enjoy ourselves. Access to Hershey was quick and easy. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect Girls Weekend Location

This home was a perfect place to stay for our most recent girls weekend. It was spacious enough for us to each have our own bedroom, but cozy enough that we could enjoy visiting with each other in the evenings next to the fireplace. Location was an easy drive into Hershey. Would definitely stay again!

Great stay

The house was perfect for what we were looking for. Enough beds for everyone to sleep comfortably, a big backyard for cornhole and ping pong/billiards for something to do while we were inside. The house was very clean and setup perfectly for our stay.

Great, comfortable property for our 8 person family group. Lots of space to cook and spread out. Quick ride to Hershey. Hope we can come back in the summer and use the big pool.

Feels like home!

Our stay was lovely! This is the perfect location to visit everything in the Hershey area. It was so convenient. The house was clean and well stocked with the essentials. We especially loved using the outdoor area to bbq. It’s such a nice backyard with lots of seating, a huge pool, and a cute gazebo. This was a great touchdown spot during our stay and it was awesome to have amenities at the house like the pool, pool table, and ping pong table. This place would be perfect for a family getaway to Hershey!!

Perfect Pre Softball Getaway Spot

We booked this house for a small gateway before we started a long softball tournament weekend in Hershey. The backyard was the most amazing relaxing fun filled place. The teenagers lived in the pool, us moms floated on our rafts reading our books for hours, and we enjoyed dinners out on the patio. Highly recommend this house!! They also had a ping pong table that was used a decent amount by the teenage girls and dads. The owners were so easy to communicate with and our short stay was exactly what both families needed.

House is exactly what it looks like!

Myself, wife, and 3 children (9, 7, & 3) stayed at the house for a vacation and had a great time. The house very quickly felt like home and had everything we needed. The house is very close to hershey park and had everything we needed very near by (grocery, convenient, and other stores). If we had to make the decision on a place to stay to enjoy the hershey area all over again we would choose the house all over again. Thanks for the memories!

Amazing Stay!

This place was just perfect for our family. The bedrooms are very spacious. We were a family of four adults and two children, and had more than enough room to spread out. The inside of the house is well appointed with anything and everything you might need! In my past experiences at a VRBO, they provided some things but not everything that we needed. This house had paper goods, cleaning products, bath products, again anything you might need! The home is well-kept, and it was very very clean. The pool was just beautiful, it was just a little too cool for us to spend any real time in it. However, we did enjoy the outside fire pit and the kids loved playing on the little swingset And they loved playing in the gazebo and kept calling at the Playhouse. Both the inside and outside of the house are very well-maintained. it is a busy corner, however, the backyard is completely fenced in and the house is well insulated. We were not bothered by any traffic noises. Our hosts were very responsive to any questions or needs we had! Cannot say enough about the quick responses we got even for some very trivial questions. I absolutely would not hesitate to recommend or stay at this property again.

We are houseparents at Milton Hershey School and live with our elementary kids on campus most of the time. We love entertaining, so even though we won't be staying in our home when you are, we will be glad to try to make sure your stay is really pleasant!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the big back yard for playing in. There is a 20 x 40 ft. in ground pool to enjoy. There is a play set for younger kids :) We love sitting in the swing in the gazebo visiting with family and friends. There is a large deck and a lot of comfortable seating. The deck has afternoon shade and with the outdoor grill it is a fun place to share a meal.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy our home because if has a cozy family room with a gas fireplace. The downstairs area can easily have groups playing games or talking in different areas so everyone can do what they like. There is a ping pong table in the sun room and a pool table in the basement. So much to do! We like the 4 bedrooms so that there is plenty of sleeping space. We think it is an attractive place to come and relax.
