Great Property

The property was as it was listed. Lots of room and very clean. The only comments are that we were surprised that there was no bath soap and there was only 2 bath towels and one hand towel per bathroom. Some bathrooms were for 2 bedrooms. Most properties we have stayed in are better equipped in those areas. The WiFi was spotty at best

Historical House, well decorated.

This is a beautiful mansion with 9 bedrooms which include a couple of sitting rooms attached to 2 bedrooms with pull-out couches. The front parlor has a piano which our son tuned and then played beautifully! I was a bit nervous with three antique large mirrors in gold leaf frames on the floor leaning against the wall. Praise God, they stayed in place! The lawn needed mowing which should have been done before we came. There is outside maintenance that needs doing on the house. All in all the grandchildren thought it was Great!

Wonderful family gathering

My family has been renting VRBO home for over 40 years so here is an experienced person's assessment of this rental. Pros: the house was large and adequate for the 10 people who stayed there. 2nd floor bedrooms have their own window air conditioning plenty of dishes and glasses in the kitchen close to all areas of interest shopping and restaurants are readily available -- Walmart, antiques, movie theatre, etc. parks are nearby and one is close enough to walk to The outside seating area is a great amenity. The water feature is stream-like with water lilies and soothing sound. Two of the bedrooms access a 2nd floor balcony that is well-constructed. A very nice parking lot is just behind the house -- we had 4 cars and parking was no problem. Cons: most of these could be easily remedied by the owner The towels were inadequate -- washcloths were threadbare -- bath towels were ragged -- not enough kitchen towels. No instructions for departing (take the sheets off of the beds, take out the trash, etc.) or how to use the TV or any other information about using the house. No washer or dryer. These aren't listed as amenities but it would have been convenient to have them on-site. The kitchen pots and pans should be replaced and added to. No mixing bowls. One burner on the stove doesn't work but that's an easy work around. Traffic noise if you are bothered by that. It didn't disrupt our stay. The downstairs rooms could use ceiling fans or some kind of air circulation.

NOT as advertised

Don't be fooled. This property is showing pictures from a few years ago when it was a functioning B&B. While I admit the sheets and towels were clean, the dust bunnies threatened to run us out. The washer was unable to spin out water when washing, so we had to use a spin only function to get the water out. A complete waste of time. Also, the dryer only "worked" on a certain setting and that only worked minimally meaning we had to turn it back on a few time each load just to get them dry. Again, a huge waste of time. While the owner was responsive when the heat got out of control (its a boiler system), the hot water went out the next day and we ended up having to fix that ourselves as she never responded. The outside seating area was filthy as well as the grill so we had to clean all of that in order to use. There is a bird nest in one of the back porch lights so that doesn't give off any light. There is a really nice water feature in the backyard, but it was so clogged with trash and leaves it wasn't flowing properly. After my husband cleaned it we truly enjoyed the peacefulness of the running water. The stove in the kitchen had multiple issues. One burner only worked on one setting, one burner didn't work. Only two towels , one hand towel and 2 washcloths in each bathroom. The listing boasts 3 King, 3 Queen, 1 double and 2 futons. However, there are 3 king and 2 queen. The other queen is a broken bed with a matress being supported by an air matress. The double is an uneven futon which we had to take the matress off and put on the floor to use. The supposed futons are actually two pull out couches that you cannot sleep on as the mattresses have coils older than I am. One tub would not drain due to the large amount of hair in it which we had to clean to use. Two shower heads had so much scale buildup we had to clean to get the water to come out. There are a couple of books that tell you what is "available" in the house. We never found the games; the items in the kitchen were out of date and really, the info is useless. Also there is a piano, but it is completely out of tune. It is really sad because this could be a beautiful property if properly taken care of. I would not reccomend this property unless all you intend to do is sleep and shower. Otherwise look elsewhere.

Gorgeous Victorian Mansion

The Patriot House is truly a gem of a property nestled in the adorable town of Annville. There are nature paths with a creek nearby as well as a beautiful park. Impeccably well maintained Victorian era bed and breakfast turned family style vacation rental with mature plantings, a pond with a waterfall, and the period details and touches made this rental a dream. My husband and I got married here, and we had plenty of space for our combined family of 18 plus one dog. Most bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms or generously sized bathrooms for 2 rooms to share. Trisha was highly responsive to challenges at the property as they arose, and has a team of talented professionals to fix any issues we had with haste. Great spot for family gatherings or small weddings.

About the host

Hosted by Trisha Renee Tshudy

Host profile image
Hello! I have lived many places during my lifetime but have lived the longest here in Annville. I am first and foremost a follower of Jesus Christ which fuels my desire to serve others and show them the love He first showed me. I am also a farmer with a bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry and I have a Juris Doctorate from Penn State Dickinson Law. Everything I do is out of the utmost gratitude to Jesus Christ. We are so fortunate to live in a world where we can know the truth and don’t have to have blind faith in anything. So whether you stay with us or not, please take the time to look into Jesus Christ for yourself. He is nothing like anyone says He is or portrays Him to be. He is knowable, discoverable, and most importantly alive! He is the Living God who paid for all the sins of those who look to see if it all is actually true and put their faith in Him based on the evidence. So please don’t trust in your goodness to get you in heaven, the good can’t cross out the bad. Trust in the one who never sinned and thus could pay the price on our behalf. No works. No hoops to jump through. No religion. Just Jesus Christ. I hope I get the opportunity to meet you, but either way, thank you so much for considering us for your stay. We appreciate it!

Why they chose this property

Annville is the perfect combo between ease of access to many major cities and attractions balances with rural comfort and seclusion. We chose Annville because of the wonderful community and quaintness that welcomes newcomers and provides a relaxing outlet for sometimes stressful plans at attractions like Hersheypark.

What makes this property unique

Our property is within walking distance of the library, Gretna park, old time town theater, LVC campus and many delicious restaurants. Our property specifically has a beautifully encased backyard with its own dual-waterfall pond that is the perfect location to relax after a busy day in the area. Additionally, the layout of the house maximizes guest accommodation and the house was specifically designed for guest luxury and comfort. It allows your whole party to stay together so bonding and family time doesn’t have to stop when you split overnight accommodations. Additionally, we have lockable doors for each room so that privacy is still easily achievable and the same is available for bathroom access at our many available bathrooms so that even large parties don’t have difficulty or added conflict that comes from too much shared space. Most of all, we aim to serve. We are ready to assist at a moments notice and eagerly look for opportunities to help. I am grateful for each and every one of our workers who puts you as a main priority as works incredibly hard to make your stay memorable.
