This was a great space to stay with our family. The outdoor space is set up well for a picnic, though rain kept us from using it as much as we would have. Having 2 arborists in the family, the variety of trees on the property was a special treat.

Response from VrboOwner on May 11, 2026
We're glad you enjoyed the property! I've gotten different answers on the largest tree just beyond the driveway. What are their thoughts on what kind of tree it is 🤔
May-2026What a beautiful property! Although we were a small group, this place has plenty of space to comfortably host a larger family. It had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.There was so much to explore and enjoy, including a great DVD collection. The home is very family-friendly, and the outdoor space was just as amazing as the indoor space.The kitchen seemed to have everything you could need — even plastic dishes and cups for the kiddos.The host was very quick to respond to any questions and gave us plenty of great ideas for things to do and places to eat.Restaurants and shopping are less than 10 min away. It was a bit cool the weekend we were there, so I wish I had brought slipper socks!My favorite part was sitting at the kitchen table working on my computer, having my coffee and watching the geese with their babies out by the water. So relaxing. We will definitely be back.
This rental was exactly what we needed for our family Thanksgiving when people come from different directions. Wonderful amenities and beautiful location...close to Hershey Park & lots of shopping. Would've greatly enjoyed the deck overlooking the river had it been a little warmer.
I was headed to PA for our father's funeral and my 4 siblings and I were able to stay together. Huge uplift for us all to connect after a long time apart. Beautiful home, location, perfect for us. Thank e!
My family and I stay here for a weekend to visit family. It is very spacious and clean. The owner responded quickly to any messages sent. Overall it was a great experience. Highly recommend.
Came for a national archery tournament and what little time we spent at the property was wonderful! Host was VERY prompt with questions/concerns we had. If we are ever back up here, we hope this property will be available! Thank you so much for the welcoming hospitality.
I recently stayed at a lovely house in Mechanicsburg, and I can't recommend it enough! The host was absolutely phenomenal—responsive, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. The property was clean, comfortable, and felt like a home away from home. It exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be returning whenever I'm in the area. A truly fantastic stay!
Second year for our family staying here to celebrate. We enjoyed the home, amenities and outdoor area. Well stocked and owner extremely easy to work with, communication was great!
This place was just enough out of the way and was perfect! The view out of the kitchen window towards the creek was enjoyable and relaxing while eating breakfast. Loved our stay there! We hope to have the opportunity to return.
