Amazing property

The host was very clear with directions and was very helpful and responsive. The property was beautiful, although I wish I was a few weeks later for the pool to be open. My kids really enjoyed the firepit and going out on the pond in the paddle boat. I highly recommend!

Sweet family getaway

This was a darling little getaway for us to stay at while we visited Hershey attractions for the first time. We loved the peacefulness, cleanliness, “extras” like chocolate bread and coffee, and the pool+pool toys!

It’s a very cozy/homey property, we all enjoyed it very much. Only downside was that we weren’t informed prior, nor was it stated on the site the heated pool was not going to be available to us. So beforehand I’d ask if all amenities are available. (Heated pool was our reason for picking the property) other than that it was great and very beautiful.

Fantastic!!!

Pondview was positively fantastic! About 20 minutes from Hershey with great local restaurants nearby. Holly & Mike were gracious hosts and quick to respond to inquiries. Our tween girls LOVED the pool (so did we!) and it was great to be able to make breakfast or reheat leftovers in the kitchen. Great extras and surprises - you won’t regret a stay here!

So comfy & cozy!

We loved Pondview. It was uber clean and welcoming. The property is absolutely beautiful. There was homemade bread & refreshments when we arrived which made it feel extra special. The fireplace was our favorite amenity! We would definitely return for another stay. They thought of everything to make our stay comfortable.

As Promised and then some :)

Super Cute, very functional, lots of host provided unexpected extras, and a heated inground pool out your door was the topper! Tried two of the hosts recommendations for dining and they were great. I'd stay here again and again over any Hotel near area attractions.

Pondview Paradise

Stayed here for 2 nights because we had a wedding at Star Barn. Location was excellent. Was very nice and well stocked with Everything!! Very clean. Really enjoyed having coffee on the front porch. Beautiful pool but we never got out there because of the rains while we were there. There were tornado watches, and Holly even messaged us that if one happened that we could go to their basement with them. Was very private. Would definitely book here again if we were in this area!!!

Fantastic home away from home!

Had such a nice stay at this beautiful two bedroom getaway. Such a nice den with a push button fireplace. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to prepare and eat our meals. Plenty of towels and toiletries in the bathroom and it was so quiet at night everyone got a great nights sleep in the comfy beds.

Perfect 4th of July weekend

We stayed here over 4th of July weekend. It was close enough to take the kids to Hershey every day (lovely drive through country back roads) and was the perfect place to unwind afterwards when we were hot and tired. The owners have an eye for hospitality. There were extra bathroom toiletries, plenty of towels and a homemade banana bread waiting for our arrival! Everything was labeled so no guessing which switch did what, and parents with little kids will love the supply of plastic cups and plates, along with regular dinnerware in the kitchen. The pool was lovely to come relax in after some super hot days at Hershey (we went in the middle of a heat wave!). It was the perfect spot for a family vacation. We'll definitely be back!

Family Home Base

Loved having a “home base” to host/ feed/ visit with our local family while we were back in the state. Convenient to Masonic Village and located centrally for family all the way from Chester to Dauphin counties. Really appreciated having a relaxing, well-stocked gathering place where we could prepare and serve home-cooked meals while on the road and loved that the baby could roam safely inside. We threw in an unplanned side trip to Chocolate World - this would be a lovely spot for a Hersheypark getaway as well!

Perfect! We loved it!

5 stars is an understatement. The property was amazing. The hosts were great. We loved it! After a long day at Hershey Park we enjoyed the pool. The welcome book was great and we tried one of the local pizza places. The hosts thought of everything and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. If you decide to book here you will not be disappointed. We will be back! Thank you so much!
