A Very Merry Home for Christmas

We booked the home for our immediate family of 8 and the proximity to extended family at Christmas. The home had everything we needed, decorated perfectly for the holidays and location was great. The surrounding area very convenient, the grounds around the house as well as basement inside home offered a variety of fun activities for all. Home was well equipped and large enough to host several dinners with our extended family. William was quick to respond to any and all questions in a timely manner. We will definitely return!!

This creekside property was a perfect gathering place for us to bring together family. In warmer weather there are multiple large outdoor picnic tables that you can watch the Creek roll by. For colder weather the home has a very warm, remote cabin feel to it. The remote feeling is especially cool considering you're just minutes away from Harrisburg, Carlisle Pike, and Mechanicsburg dining and entertainment options. It's also minutes from Grandma's house in our case, so we plan on being back! Five stars

Beautiful home with gorgeous views

We rented this property for a weekend family get together and had an amazing experience. We had questions before arriving and the host was very responsive and helpful. Property is wonderfully decorated with many fun things for the children. An adorable bunk bed, closet with toys and multiple outdoor toys as well. Two other bedrooms with huge comfortable beds and bathrooms attached. The views are absolutely stunning from all of the decks. Property is well maintained with multiple beautiful trees and a water overlook. We will definitely be staying again!

Perfect stay with grandpop

My father has a lot of mobility issues. This house was perfect. He could sit on the porch and watch my children play in the yard and the creek. It allowed us a very relaxed few days. I found a lovely running trail nearby and we took the kuds to Paulus Farm market for a day of fall fun.
