The home was very comfortable and just what we needed while visiting from out of town for a wedding. The outdoor space looked like it would have been nice to enjoy too had it not been January! Thank you!

Thank you! It was a pleasure having you and your guests. It's always so nice having great clients! We look forward to hosting you in the future if the opportunity ever is there.
The house was very clean an excellent place to stay. Loved seeing the horse and buggies go by. I would advise that the driveway is very steep. The other suggestion would be to replace the commodes with higher ones for folks who have mobility issues. We Loved all the antiques, and the adjustable bed was excellent. We would stay with this host again.

This house was the cleanest VRBO house we've ever stayed in and the grounds were lovely. Great care had obviously been taken of the whole property. We liked the rural location and felt very comfortable there.

I’m so glad you enjoyed your stay. Thank you so much for your kind words! It is always a pleasure having such wonderful clients! Look forward to hosting you again in the future.
This place was so welcoming and cozy! I literally opened the door to this place and wanted to start shopping lol. I love antiques and vintage decor and this place is exactly that. Everyday I saw something I didn't see the day before. Loved the old photos, I assume to be grandparents and the Valentine decor in every room and the homemade goat soap, snacks and coffee! We will definitely be back.

Thank you so much!!! It was such a pleasure to have you, George and your grandson. You were truly outstanding guests. We look forward to having you back when you are in the area.
This house was perfectly located for us. Our plan was to visit Hersheypark for 3 days. Located in a peaceful neighborhood, not far from the interstate. The owner is very clear on instructions, great communication and there were so many cute little touches throughout the house that I found myself smiling every day at what new thing I found. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this beautiful home!
