Amazing property! The attention to detail won’t go unnoticed, they literally thought of everything especially when traveling with a family. The home was so clean, comfortable and the location was central to Hershey Park, all the soccer fields, restaurants and walking trails. We will definitely be staying again when we are in the area.

Everything was perfect from start to finish. Emily was quick to respond and helpful. The house had everything you would need and is just beautiful in every aspect. The location couldn't get any better, close to the park and anything else you would need while away. The house is a must stay!!

Amazing communication. House is immaculate. Wish we could have enjoyed the outdoor space. Hot tub was a nice treat. Minutes to everything Hershey. The reason for 4 stars for location is the proximity to train tracks. They run pretty much all day and night.

All around just a great experience! Close to the parks, felt like home away from home, fun things to do with kids after a long day exploring Hershey... the list goes on. Every detail was thought of in this property (even indoor and outdoor games, toys, etc for the littles!). Would highly recommend to anyone visiting Hershey!Owners were extremely helpful, responsive and invested in making your stay a sweet one!We will definitely be returning.

We stayed at The Jolly Rancher with two families (4 adults and 3 kids) and it was absolutely perfect. The home is modern, beautifully decorated, and spotless. Every detail has been thought of to make your stay comfortable and stress-free.The kitchen is fully stocked — pots, pans, strainers, corkscrew, bowls, silverware, cooking utensils — plus thoughtful extras like spices, olive oil, Pam, and a fully stocked coffee bar with multiple brew options. There’s even a washer and dryer with detergent, dryer sheets, and OxiClean for any stains. Bathroom closets are filled with plush towels, and there are beach towels for the hot tub.The outdoor space was our favorite — comfortable seating, a hot tub, speakers, and a relaxing vibe. The kids were entertained for hours with giant Jenga, cornhole, and Connect Four while the adults enjoyed the patio.This home is just 5 minutes from Hershey Park, yet feels like your own private retreat. We would stay here again in a heartbeat — The Jolly Rancher is a true gem!
