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.

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 🤔

The property had several lights out. There weren’t enough utensils for our large family. Was a little concerned there were no smoke alarms or fire extinguisher that we could see.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Jul 2026
Hello Pauline, Thank you for your review. We appreciate your candor. Please let me know which lights were out. I found one bathroom light bulb out. Multiple bulbs on first floor that were unscrewed and worked when screwed back in. I went to investigate and found four fire extinguishers; one under kitchen sink, one in pantry kitchen, one in laundry room and one on second floor in bathroom closet. There are 12 fire/smoke and co2 detectors in home visible to visitors and 6 more behind locked doors. As far as the utensils we do apologize and suggest you reach out in the future as theft happens and we had several hundred extra in the basement. We also suggest that if you rent from anyone in the future you do your due diligence, especially with concerns of safety, and reach out to the owner immediately as safety is our, and should be your number 1 priority during your trip. Respectful, Will Ravert

The location is absolutely perfect. It was a bit of a squeeze as far as sleeping for our group of 14! But we made it work with an extra blow up mattress. The loft was a bit smaller than expected, as there were no pictures. But otherwise the deck, the great room and dining room offer plenty of space for lounging and hanging out. We brought our own paddleboards and were able to be out on the creek almost every day. The creek was shallow, as advertised for the summer, but it was actually perfect for the toddlers in our group who could still stand in all the areas. The yard is more than enough space. The house is really close to shopping for convenience, but the property still feels very serene and secluded. Excellent stay for summertime and to be outdoors with family.

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.

We had a great stay at the appropriately named "Creek House". A long driveway leads to this large, comfortable home along the creek. A summer visit means bbq meals and relaxing on the large deck; canoe rides; games on the lawn. Rainy weather means staying inside for pool games or movies. Visitors asked, "How did you find this?" Or "Wow, this is really nice!" I felt like I had found some magical place. Reasonably priced especially when you consider what 3 or 4 hotel rooms and eating out would cost. The host is responsive to any questions and supplies a detailed manual. We could not have picked a better place to stay for our twin grand-daughters graduations: highly recommended.
