The owner was very attentive and fast at responding. We needed to adjust our booking dates and they made it very easy to do so quickly. The home is very cute and was well stocked, so a trip to the store only required buying food and not they typical soap, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent etc. we were very happy with our stay.

Cute spot

Our stay was short but had everything we needed. The inside of the home was precious. Owners have thought through all you would need. Stairs are very steep making luggage hard to get up there but we knew that going in and it did not hinder our stay. Would definitely stay there again.

Great visit to Hershey for a girls weekend

The house was very cute and had everything we needed to be able to prepare breakfast each day. the living room was comfortable to watch TV and the bedrooms were very comfortable. The stairs to get up to the bedrooms were very narrow so may be harder for an older generation, but otherwise were manageable.

Hallmark Christmas

We needed a last-minute place to stay for a few days at Christmas. Emily was very accommodating and got us booked within the same day. The home is warm and inviting and has all the essentials to make our stay stress-free. Even small items such as laundry pods and coffee were available. We were able to have our Hallmark Christmas in the most cozy homes in central PA. Thank you!

Beautiful, clean, perfect

My husband and I stayed here when we went to see Stevie Nicks at Hershey. It was reasonably priced and close to the venue, but best of all it was genuinely beautiful and spotlessly clean! I appreciated that there was both coffee *and creamer* on site. The check out process was also straightforward, much less work than I've had to do at other VRBOs. My one comment would be that slightly more detailed instructions on using the lock pad would be helpful as we managed to do it wrong repeatedly-- but the property managers responded so quickly to help us, even at 11pm! Very grateful and highly recommend it.

Perfect Getaway Home

We absolutely loved our stay in this comfy 2 bedroom gem. Quiet location but close to Giant grocery and other terrific spots including Whisk Cafe where we enjoyed a phenomenal Father's Day breakfast - thanks for the recommendation Emily. Emily our host was fantastic every step of the way from booking to arrival and departure. The home was perfect for our family - modern appliances - comfortable beds - great internet and nice large flat screen tv in living area. Small patio outside front door where we sat, had coffee and listened to the many birds singing. On a scale of 1-10 - we rate this 2 bedroom a 15. Although we planned our stay around a Stevie Nicks concert at Hershey Stadium which unfortunately was postponed - we made the best of it in our comfy 2 bedroom retreat. We'll be returning - Thanks Emily!
