The house is beautiful and it’s right across the street from the walking path next to the water! The house was bigger than I was expecting, which was awesome.

The property was just as described, no surprises at all. It is a great place as a gathering spot, given the three bedrooms, the two decks plus the ground-floor patio, the large living room, dining room, and the table and chairs in front overlooking the river. The location is highly walkable to restaurants, the Harrisburg market, and the Midtown bookstore. Stayed two nights, would love to stay a full week. Downtown Harrisburg is quirky and inviting. Also should mention, it is easy to find parking on the street. Caveat for those who cannot negotiate stairs or don't like to walk. Otherwise, superb.

It is charming. Fantastic view of the River and sunsets and close to the town. We walked everywhere. The house is quiet and plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and bathrooms. I would stay there again.!!

Amazing location!!

Could not ask for a better spot- just a few blocks from the amazing public market, movie theatres, restaurants… You do need to consider the parking, but it’s not a huge deal. Beds are comfy. No frills, but a nice, clean place.

Beautiful location on the river for walks and views. The fact it was a halfway point between western NY and southern VA made it a perfect place to meet for Thanksgiving. Most of our family enjoyed an Escape Room and we all enjoyed Indian Echo Caverns. Our catered Thanksgiving meal was very good from Simply Turkey and the kitchen was very accommodating for food and meals we brought along. A few minor things to note: It would have been nice to have a heads up in the hosts review about shower body soaps and shampoos not being provided. There was a fire place, but no instructions as to whether it was functional or how to use it. Overall, it was a house we will consider for a future visit, hopefully in warmer weather, so we can take longer walks and enjoy the many decks.

Great Downtown Experience

Wonderful time staying in such a unique home! We never even found a need for tv and didn’t miss it a bit. There was so much to do and so much to explore. Our kids were fascinated with how different this house was from what they’ve seen. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Birthday Weekend

I was visiting with some cousins and friends for my birthday and we had a great time at the house. There’s a lot of views and we loved how close to the water it is! We were a bit sad that the grill wasn’t available, but I would definitely come back again in the future!

college graduation weekend.

The river house gave us a great place to gather to celebrate my daughters college graduation. There was plenty of room to spread out and to gather. I would prefer more chairs on the top deck so we could have sat out there when it was warm out. It was easier to bring an extra chair or two out front for the sunset over the river, but the street noise could be loud at times...
