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 carros and apples, so bring the camera to the barn.
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.

    • Ruth made us all feel welcome from the moment we stepped into our "home away from home" It is the perfect place to get away from it all, yet you are so close to everything! Easy, easy did I mention easy access to everything?! We enjoyed the quick less than 3 minute drive to Hershey Park, Chocolate World and the shopping Outlets!! Ruth had everything set up for the kids to enjoy their stay as well;) Toys galore! The dogs were absolutely adorable, very friendly and the most welcoming to our crew! Our family also enjoyed the trip to the stables to visit with her horses;) We loved every minute of our time spent at Ruth's place!!! She is awesome and not only did we have a wonderful place to stay while visiting, we made a great friend too!!! You Rock Ruth!!! Damon, Danielle, Sydney, Elyse, Ayden and Lauryn

    • No words to explain our time at Ruth's place. Only a couple of days wasn't enough but this lady is the greatest and the house is perfect . We need more time to spend overthere, hopefully really soon, to enjoy Ruth's company, the dogs and horses. Those dogs make my daughter the happiest girl in the world. We can say this place is even better than our visit to chocolate word and all around Hershey. I absolutely recomended to everybody at any age. Go for it!!!!!!!

    • My sister, myself and two friends spent a weekend in October 2007 at "the sweetest place on earth".Ruth was such a gracious hostess. She had the fireplace lit for us when we arrived and showed us everything we needed to know.What a great time we had. We even had Ruth and one of her dogs join us for ice cream that Saturday night! I would recommend this "home" to anyone!! Thank you again Ruth! Look forward to seeing you again in 2008. Gail Ingram-Smith

    • We spent a lovely ten days with Ruth and the pups, whom my daughter just feel in love with. We Arrived on the 22nd of July, and were greeted by Ruth, whom quickly set down with us for a nice long chat, Ruth gave us the tour, gave us directions to places we needed to get to, ..........and then she let us go. And go we did. For the next ten days it was non-stop, Hershey Park 4 times, Dorney Park, Amish Country, and my personal favorite, Gettysburgh. We came and went at our leisure, any time we wanted, always feeling safe, welcome, and comfortable. It was hard to leave, and we will never forget our time spent with Ruth, and the quaintness of The Village of Uninon Deposit. Litteraly two minutes from Hershey Park. We will be sure to stay with "Miss Ruth" as we still affectionately call her, again, when we bring the kids back to Hershey. It was wonderful, and so is Ruth. Sincerely, Tom, Cindy, Tyler, and Trinity Ford Sunapee, NH.

    • We stayed at Ruth's place for a long weekend and found her to be an AMAZING hostess. Her personal touch will never be forgotten (not only were we greeted as friends, but she also had a special "Winnie the Pooh" bed set up for our young daughter when we arrived). The apartment is conveniently located near Hershey's main entrance w/restaurants and shopping close by as well. The entire apartment was very clean and well decorated and the beds were oh so comfortable! Can't wait to visit again. Thank you so much, Ruth for a truly enjoyable stay...

    • We loved our vacation out to PA. We couldn't have been happier with our choice of lodging. Ruth was an awesome hostess and provided us with everything we needed and more. The location of the house is awesome. We were able to come and go as we pleased while everything we needed was close by. We had a great time and it was a great place for us as a family to stay. Thanks Ruth! We hope to be able to come out and visit again sometime.

    • What can I say that hasn't already been said? Ruth is just wonderful, one of those people you are just glad to have met and hope to see again. The apartment we stayed in was immaculate and very comfortable. The beds were absolutely heavenly, much better than in any hotels I've visited. The dogs were adorable and fun. We loved the Hershey area. There was so much to do, Hershey Park, fishing, restaurants, charming towns, and shopping. We can't wait to visit again. Thanks again, Ruth, for a wonderful experience.
