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 🤔
Great accommodations, roomy, and nice property! Convenient location. Great communications with owner. Highly recommend!

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.

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
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.
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.
May-2026What a beautiful property! Although we were a small group, this place has plenty of space to comfortably host a larger family. It had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.There was so much to explore and enjoy, including a great DVD collection. The home is very family-friendly, and the outdoor space was just as amazing as the indoor space.The kitchen seemed to have everything you could need — even plastic dishes and cups for the kiddos.The host was very quick to respond to any questions and gave us plenty of great ideas for things to do and places to eat.Restaurants and shopping are less than 10 min away. It was a bit cool the weekend we were there, so I wish I had brought slipper socks!My favorite part was sitting at the kitchen table working on my computer, having my coffee and watching the geese with their babies out by the water. So relaxing. We will definitely be back.
I was headed to PA for our father's funeral and my 4 siblings and I were able to stay together. Huge uplift for us all to connect after a long time apart. Beautiful home, location, perfect for us. Thank e!
My family and I stay here for a weekend to visit family. It is very spacious and clean. The owner responded quickly to any messages sent. Overall it was a great experience. Highly recommend.
Came for a national archery tournament and what little time we spent at the property was wonderful! Host was VERY prompt with questions/concerns we had. If we are ever back up here, we hope this property will be available! Thank you so much for the welcoming hospitality.
This place was just enough out of the way and was perfect! The view out of the kitchen window towards the creek was enjoyable and relaxing while eating breakfast. Loved our stay there! We hope to have the opportunity to return.
