The Village Gem!! The Best Hershey, Pennsylvania rental.
'The Village Gem' is a wonderful vacation getaway. Newly renovated/period restored pre-1820 house. Beautifully furnished and tastefully appointed. European design kitchen with soapstone countertop island, stainless appliances. A great location in a quiet village center just outside Hershey/Hummelstown proper. Sophisticated urban refinements meet 18th century charm. Hershey and the surrounding area offers a vast variety of activities for both families and adults.
The amusement park is a major attraction, now with its new water rides. The Gem is only three miles from Hershey Park and Zoo America, Hershey Spa and Gardens. The Hershey Theater, Lodge, AACA Antique Auto Museum and Medical Center are all just as close by to The Gem.
The home is central for antique and outlet shoppers alike with great opportunities in Hershey, Adamstown, Reading as well as New Oxford, Pennsylvania (Hershey outlet malls five miles, Lancaster and Reading have outstanding outlet malls as well; huge antique malls and weekly flea markets are located in Adamstown and New Oxford, both just less than one hour away).
History buffs go crazy with The Lancaster County Dutch Country (35 miles away). With the heart of Amish Dutch Country less than an hour away it’s a must see for all visitors. Come see the 'plain people' live as if the 19th was a modern reality. Horse and buggies and the absence of electric power adds to the charm of the Old World lifestyle these folks live. History of the great war rings true with the Gettysburg Battlefield (just over an hour drive), the National Civil War Museum and Pennsylvania State Museum in Harrisburg, (eight miles from Harrisburg).
Golfers will not be disappointed with over 12 surrounding golf courses with three less than five miles. Other local attractions include the Pennsylvania Renaissance Fair (12 miles), Penn National Race Track and The Hollywood Casino, 10 miles away, local wineries, and a variety of nature activities just minutes away from the site.
Very close to all major highways and PA turnpike. Off street parking with a fenced backyard. So very conveniently located to all the splendours Pennsylvania has to offer. Use the house as a base camp for days of activities then come back and relax with all its great features of home.
