Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 1998
Hello and I sure do hope you will join me in this lovely little village; as I call it "spittin distance" to the fun and excitement of Hershey. Me?? a retired, die-hard customer service specialist. Restaurants, business dining, catering, you name it. I was side-lined a couple of years back by (2) major back surgeries, so I opened the apartment to folks wantin' to have a great time in our neck of the woods. Not only will you enjoy all that this area has to offer on a vacation, but, "lucky you and the kidlet, will meet and play (and play, and play) with the rescue puppies. By the way, you like horses, we got a bunch of 'em. Just waitin for the kidlets to feed 'em carrots and apples, so bring the camera and you will remember forever the days your kidlets learned about horses; FreighTrain Willie, Lucky, Buddy and all the rest of 'em.
I sure hope you will join me for the "best-rest" time of your life in the second Sweetest Place in Hershey. See you soon, and thanks for stopping.
Why the Owner Chose Hershey
Didn't plan on doin this so soon, however, when I had two operations, and couldn't work, I thought about it for a long while. And, when I had some folks come and stay at the apartment at the beginning, met them, found out how nice they were, and how much fun we had sitting out front at the fire pit and glider, I jumped in. It's been a great time.
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
The absolute quiet and serene surroundings, minus the doggie welcoming howl, of course.

My husband, six year old son and our two Weimaraners enjoyed a nice week long stay at Ruth's. The accomodations were fantastic and just what we were looking for. The park is a two minute drive and there were plenty of other exciting things to do nearby. We also enjoyed some downtime at Ruth's and our dogs just adored Ruth and her dogs. Ruth was so kind to us and made us feel right at home and even cooked us dinner one night. Such a treat! We will certainly stay at the "Suitest Playce" again in the future. Thanks for such a great time!

This is our 2nd visit to Hershey and our 2nd visit to Ms. Ruth's Suitest Playce! It's a hop, skip, & a jump to Hershey Park and for us (with 3 little ones) it's paradise. She has toys for the kiddos to play with, a comfortable home in which to relax, and this time around we found 2 playgrounds within easy walking distance of the home. We also explored more of PA Dutch country and spent a day in Strausburg at the rail station - - the kids were in heaven and it was an easy drive there and back to our home-away-from-home. The area is safe, fun, and Ms. Ruth has become not just an owner, but a friend to our family. We are looking forward to another visit in the near future!

Ruth's "Suitest Playce" lived up to all promises - it is extremely clean and warmly decorated, and we had all the space we needed. My husband, 2 children, and 2 dogs had a comfortable, relaxing weekend close to Hersey Park. Ruth was so nice to help with our dogs while we were in the park and made us feel very welcome. The boys absolutely loved the house, the rescue dogs and the horses (and Ruth too!). We hope to visit again in the future and consider Ruth a new family friend. Thanks for the enjoyable weekend!

We have family in the area, but have been unable to stay with them due to accessibility issues for my husband's power wheelchair. Trying to find somewhere to stay that is accessible for him AND also pet-friendly, is a rare find. This guest suite was perfect for us - very accessible. The owner was extremely accommodating, allowing us the flexibility to make ourselves comfortable there. Our dog, Katie, thoroughly enjoyed the large fenced-in yard and the "friends" she had to play with. This was the first vacation we've taken that we didn't have to worry about cutting visits short to get back to take care of Katie. The owner made sure she was taken care of, so we had plenty of time for visits, dinners, etc. We have found ourselves a spot we will return to for our hometown visits!

My family stayed the weekend at the guest house with 2 grandkids and 2 dogs and 6 adults. Everyone had a great time especially the dogs and kids. After a long day at Hershey Park with 2 little ones, they got to burn off the rest of their energy in the backyard. The owners dogs are very friendly and gentle with the kids. The hospitality was wonderful and recommend this as an alternative if you want to stay somewhere else but a hotel room. We are all looking forward to our next visit!

My girlfriend and I came up to Hershey for a visit just after Christmas. This location was nice and spacious and within minutes of everywhere we wanted to go. It also had a nice gas fireplace which was toasty! Also, we were able to bring our small dogs, and they enjoyed the fenced in back yard.. Nice rental. :-)

We are very happy to report that Ruth & her grandson, Brendan, rolled out the ol' welcome wagon for us as well... freshly baked warm cookies-n-all ~ they even turned on the gas fireplace in the living room -- honestly, in terms of gas fireplaces, this gas fireplace has the nicest logs & flames we've ever seen (not a little lazy blue glow, but, rather tall vibrant dancing leaping yellow & orange flames) this fireplace warms everyone and everything. The fireplace is the focal point feature in Ruth's nicely decorated 2 bedroom, 1 bath, with living room, kitchen galley & dining area. Ruth's was the perfect pit stop for our small family while traveling up & down East Coast. We really enjoyed a quick visit at Hershey Park too. In fact, Ruth's grandson works at Hershey Park and was very helpful with logistics.

We stayed here for our anniversary. The place was everything promised. However, please note that the place is a basement apartment, not an actual guest house. Otherwise, the stay was pleasant and the location was great.

Ruth's "Suitest Playce" is exactly as she describes in her ad, we stayed from August 7th through the 9th. We did a quick (2 Day Trip) to Hershey Park from Massachusetts. Though we did not spend a lot of time there (we basically slept) I would love to travel back and spend some more time in that lovely area and relax. A trip to Hershey with 4 children is not a relaxing vacation, but Ruth's home was a welcome respite at the end of each long day. We arrived earlier than anticipated on Saturday and wanted to get to the park, Ruth was very accommodating letting us in and allowing us to leave our things and organize a day bag for Hershey. Ruth has a lovely guest house and came across as a wonderful person.

MY FAMILY AND I STAYED AT RUTH'S GUEST HOUSE FOR 3 DAYS AND NIGHTS. WE HAD A GREAT TIME VISITING WITH RUTH. WE WENT TO HERSHEY AMUSEMENT PARK AND WHEN WE ARRIVED BACK AT THE GUEST HOUSE RUTH HAD A PLATE OF HOME MADE COOKIES SITTING ON THE DINING ROOM TABLE. THEY WERE DELICIOUS. THEN THAT EVENING SHE MADE A VERY DELICIOUS MEAL OF BAKED CHICKEN, CORN ON THE COB, COLE SLAW, AND INDIAN BEANS AND RICE. SHE BROUGHT THE FOOD TO OUR GUEST HOUSE AND ATE WITH US. WE ENJOYED THE TIME WE GOT TO VISIT AND TALK TO RUTH. THE WHOLE DINNER WAS VERY DELICIOUS, BUT MY FAVORITE WAS THE INDIAN BEANS AND RICE. IF WE EVER GO BACK TO PENNSYLVANIA WE WILL STAY IN HER GUEST HOUSE AGAIN. SHE IS A VERY NICE AND CARING LADY. RUTH ALSO TOOK US TO THE BARN WHERE SHE KEEPS HER HORSE AND MY DAUGHTER AND HER FRIEND GOT TO GROOM RUTH'S HORSE. THEY HAD A GREAT TIME DOING THAT. HER GUEST HOUSE IS JUST A 2 OR 3 MINUTE DRIVE TO HERSHEY AMUSEMENT PARK.
