About this property

Charming 3-bedroom house on Stony Creek

This cute, cottage-style single-level home offers comfort and convenience with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, perfect for families. We are also pet friendly.
The layout includes:
• A primary bedroom with en-suite bath
• A second bedroom with a queen bed
• A third bedroom with bunk beds
• A large, comfortable sofa and love seat for relaxing

Step outside onto the spacious deck overlooking Stony Creek, where you’ll enjoy peaceful mountain views and the soothing sounds of flowing water—an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening unwinding.
Nestled beside pristine, trout-stocked Stony Creek, known for its exceptional clarity and minimal agricultural runoff, this retreat sits at the base of a private mountain in a quiet, nature-filled setting. Guests often spot deer, eagles, and majestic blue herons, making it a true haven for wildlife lovers.

Outdoor adventures are right outside your door. A nearby trailhead connects directly to State Game Lands, stretching all the way to Indiantown Gap and Memorial Lake—perfect for hiking, biking, fishing, and wildlife watching. When it’s time to dine out, the beloved Stony Creek Inn is just down the road, offering local flavor and added convenience.

Enjoy the best of both worlds: serene creekside living with the convenience of being just minutes from Harrisburg, Hershey, and Carlisle. Situated along beautiful Stony Creek. Featuring a back yard with over 100 feet of private creek frontage and mountain view.

Relax and drop a line in, or hike a section of the Appalachian Trail (less than 3 miles away). Take a walk or bike on the historic Stony Valley Rail Trail just down the road.

Only 5 minutes from Harrisburg. 20 minutes to Hershey or Carlisle.

This property along Stony Creek was exceptional. Well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, super clean and a beautiful deck/yard for relaxing. We were in town to attend an XC race at Hershey Park (about 1/2hr drive). Wayne was a great host and you can tell they thought of every detail when decorating and outfitting the space. Highly recommend and would absolutely stay again. Thanks!

Clean and spacious

The house was spotless and roomy yet felt homey with the decor and photographs highlighting the local area. All the appliances and cookware were in perfect condition. I would suggest taking the time to back into the driveway for easy exiting. Be sure to visit this property again after the deck is finished.

This house was above and beyond what we needed and expected! It was great! Clean, cozy, and very modern. Everything you could want or need. We were there for 10 nights. And it was close to where we needed to be each day. Beautiful stream behind the house. Wayne was a great host and very responsive. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Wayne

Host profile image
We are native to the area, but through lots of traveling. The convenience and beauty of Central Pennsylvania keeps us grounded here.

Why they chose this property

It’s a slow pace, and a little slice of heaven along the creek. All the while, only minutes from downtown Harrisburg for events and convenience.

What makes this property unique

The location and decor feels like you’ve stepped back in time. Modern appliances blend in with the 1970s summer camp vibe.
