Wedding time

was awesome after the 35-40 minutes waiting for the code to be programmed into the lock. We had to call VRBO as we had no communication with the owner. Supposedly the lock was programmed to my last 4 of my phone, but not on this occasion. Tried several times, and called VRBO twice to get inside. Once inside, it was everything advertised ! Comfortable, almost as living at what my parents home could be!! Sorry, we took an extra half hour, but it seemed appropriate since we didnt arrive till 8 pm, and it took 45 min to get in!

Perfect house for our stay!

This house had everything my extended family needed during their 3 night visit. The house was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The location was super convenient for all of needs and activities. The hosts were very flexible and responsive to our request for check in/out times. It is a great place to stay!

Lovely Stay

We had a lovely home base in Cozy Cape when my parents and I came to clean out my late grandmother's apartment in Willow Valley. The house was immaculate and bright and exactly what we needed as a respite from our draining task. Thanks Julie!

Cozy home away from home

Was in town for a religious festival. Just far enough from downtown to not deal with crowded roads but close enough to get anywhere you want within 20 minutes. The only down side is the road outside the house is on a curve and cars whiz by at anytime. The upside is everything you could possibly look for in a VRBO. Clean, cozy, and not too noisy.

Great location for day trips around PA!

We had a great experience here. It was perfect for our family of 6 (ages 8-16). The location was perfect as a home base for day trips to Hershey, Philadelphia, and Amish country. The house was immaculate and beautifully furnished. Julie was extremely responsive and communication was amazing. Bonus: There are tons of towels! It’s a funny thing to mention but I appreciated not having the wash towels everyday while we were there like I’ve had to at other VRBOs I’ve stayed at.

Hershey park

We first booked this for the week after Thanksgiving. The kiddos came down sick and we had to cancel. Julie was gracious enough to let us reschedule for weekend after Christmas. It was a hit! Kiddos had a great time. The home is accurate in the description. Very roomy and stocked with those bits and pieces you don't want to buy for a short weekend. Julie was very accessible. Great customer service!! Everything was great.Will definitely stay again if visiting that area again.

Beautiful, Well-appointed Home in Lancaster County

My family rented the "Cozy Cape" for two weeks in August for our Lancaster County vacation. We found the home to be well renovated inside, with modern appliances and fixtures throughout. It was cozy, but the open floor plan never made us feel like it was too small. The house was supplied with nice linens and towels, and we appreciated the small touches: some paper products, soaps, etc. I also especially liked the coded door lock - so much easier and safer than keys. The house was absolutely clean and spotless, something we don't always find with house rentals. There were a couple downsides: road noise and warm upstairs. However, we found good solutions to both: a fan in the master bedroom drowned out the road noise, and a fan blowing the nice cold air downstairs into the bedrooms upstairs. But even if we hadn't found solutions, we feel as though Julie would have helped us - she was a wonderful host. We would certainly recommend this rental to anyone.

This small cottage is very cute, suited all our groups need. We had 8 people yet had plenty of space. There is one full bathroom on the first floor, and a half bath on the first floor. I recommend staying here to explore Lancaster. Great location
