The property was very clean and well kept. Our kids loved the game room and that they had a backyard to play with our dogs in. The kids also loved the snacks that were waiting for us, as we had a long drive to get there.Overall a great experience. We would definitely stay again.

The Hershey Bungalow was so cozy and well-equipped to meet all our needs and more! It was truly a home away from home! We loved the game room. It was nice to have a stay in, game night together on our trip. The location is great! All the main attractions are so close to it. I would highly recommend staying here. We loved it.

Great family accommodations!

This is a perfect location for a family visiting the Hershey area. Very close to the outlets, Hersheypark and restaurants. We visited my son in college and then spent the weekend doing family activities. The house was very clean and the kids enjoyed the game room to watch football.

Great Place to Stay For Hershey Park

This place was great for us (2 adults, 2 kids) and easily could've fit a few more. It was clean and the game room was really cool for the kids to spend some time as well.The owner was very communicative and made everything super easy and we didn't run into any problems.It was really close to Hersheypark, which made our visit that much better. We were able to leave the park and come back several times which made it convenient to plan with heat and rain. Would definitely come back and highly recommend to others, especially families!

Cozy & Comfy Hershey Bungalow

We loved the home and all its well thought out extras like the complimentary snacks and coffee. The close location to Hershey Park made it very convenient to take our grandsons for our 2 day pass. They especially enjoyed the arcade in the garage. All the bedrooms were comfortable and the cooling system worked really well and we needed it after a day at the park where the temperature reached 98 degrees. Thankyou to the wonderful hosts
