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.
