  My family and I had a great weekend here. The kids loved the house and it was an easy drive to all the places we wanted to go. We are looking forward to coming back when we can enjoy the river.

  That arrival date is wrong, they won't let me go back in time as far as it's been :) This is embarrassing that I'm just writing the review now...we were there Thanksgiving 2009. But it's left an impression! It rained almost the whole time, but we still had TONS to do, and we were cozy and warm and content the whole time. What a view, and what a perfect home for us. The owners were the most accommodating hosts, with S'mores supplies and coffee, and extra knives and things to assist in the Thanksgiving dinner. I can't thank you enough, the whole family now has favorite family memories because of our stay. Thank you for sharing your home. We were extra thankful for that THanksgiving!

  We spent an amazing weekend at the Waltz' house and left there with a promise to keep coming back. We reached Dauphin very late at night with a plan to hit the beds right away. But, the well appointed house with the beautiful views of the river were so inviting that we spent time going down to river at 1 am in the morning to take some beautiful pictures. Next morning was even more beautiful and we went out kayaking in the fog...just fantastic. First the breakfast on the deck and then lunch and then the dinner...we just did not feel like leaving the property. The owners (Dave and Janice) who live next door are fantastic hosts and gave us excellent tips on fishing and activities close by. Our first time fishing and we could actually catch some good size bass. The house is beyond well appointed and very comfortable. In our group we had kids (1yr old to 6 yr old) and they all enjoyed the trip. Rent with confidence.

  Our vacation at the Waltz House was wonderful.The river was clean,full of fish and birds.My great granddaughter caught her first fish thanks to the owners love and patience.The house is clean,kitchen is supplied with all upgraded appliances,a pleasure to work in.We saw deer,groundhogs bunnies and the Eagle. The bedding,linens etc were luxurious.I would reccomend this home,notice I didn't say property,Home Away describes it perfectly. My deposit was refunded to me promptly.Thank you Janice and Dave for making us feel so welcome.

  We just had a wonderful visit at your home. Thank you so much for your hospitality. You could not have been more gracious and accommodating. We had family from Delaware, New Jersey, New York City and North Carolina. We participated in many activities but the rope swing into the river was so much fun for the participants as well as the observers!! We all loved the river location. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

  Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, sightseeing.

  Most awsome vacation!!! The house is so beautiful. The most amazing room is the sun room that looks over the river. It was my favorite spot .My grandchildren had a wonderful time by the riverfront. The water was crystal clear. The were able to swim, fish, tube, kayak, and really just have fun for hours on end. We also were close enough to go to Gettysburg, Lancaster, Hershey, Hollywood Casino and many other attractions.Would highly recommend this home. Owners were very pleasant to deal with. Also had a boat there to rent for fishing only problem was water was low so couldn't go too far but that was mother natures fault. She gave us tons of sunshine instead of rain to fill the river. My thanks to the owners for sharing their most wonderful home!!!!

  We had a great time in this excellent house along the Susquenna River. We have a yearly family ( all ages) reunion and this house fit our needs perfectly. We really enjoyed the hidden away location, but at the same time we had easy access to the local area and other sites such as Gettysburg, Hershey Park and Amish Country. We cooked out nightly and watched the beautiful bald eagle fly up and down the river. We also fished and kayaked!! The price is great and fit all 15 of us very comfortably. I highly recommend this house. Owner lives next door and is there to help if needed.

  This was my family's first time in Hershey, PA and we had a wonderful time. There is so much to do in the surrounding area and a lot of fun at the house. We enjoyed camp fires (roasting marshmallows), kayaking, and grilling on the deck. The weather was wonderful, and it was very relaxing. We also had a great time at Chocolate World, Hershey Park, and Gettysburg. This is a wonderful home and you can not go wrong spending your vacation here. We loved it!!

  This lake house is a great place to spend with family or friends. The house was beautiful and supplied with everything necessary to ensure a comfortable stay whether it is a romantic swing by the lake, or sharing s'mores at the fire pit with friends. We had a large group of twelve people and each one of us had a blast! The owners were very welcoming and accommodating to our needs. Everything was just as advertised if not better. We had a great time here; our only regret is that we didn't book for a longer stay! We can't wait to come back!
