Central Pa. Country Home with Privacy & Room to Relax! Close to Many Attractions

Welcome to the Honeycomb Farm Guest House.

They say with the coronavirus, that "camping" is popular this year. No hotel community areas, elevator buttons, lobby doors, etc., to worry about. So why not "camp out" at this lovely farm? Plenty of places for tents, the camper, etc. And the best part......is the privacy.

If you are looking for a family friendly home near Ski Roundtop, Hershey, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Gettysburg, Messiah College, or any other place in the Central Pennsylvania area, this is the place to stay! This is not a "sterile" hotel environment rental, with three pieces of furniture in each room. This is a place with all the little things that make it a home. Great for a large family or a couple families with each bedroom set up for parents and children. ON_DEMAND HOT WATER SYSTEM ensures all guests will have constant hot water. There are NO concerns about the well water as it is certified against E-coli bacteria and tested for nitrates, and uses a UV light system to ensure clean water whether drinking a glass from the tap or with the kids using the hose in the yard. If privacy and quiet surroundings are what you are seeking after coming home from a long day of sight-seeing...this is for YOU! No neighbors watching you as you sit on the porch or the kids play in the yard.

Please Note: We do not accept reservations with large numbers of adults, usually not more than 6-8. But please ask, and we will see what we can do. We have had situations where some stayed in the house, and other family members brought an RV. We have no issues with such arrangements.

This 2000+ sq. ft. home is nestled in South-Central Pennsylvania, in Northern York County. The house has three bedrooms, each with a queen bed and bunk beds providing enough space to sleep 12 or more very comfortably. This location is ideal for up to three families with children. It can sleep up to 12-14 using the roll out cots. There is ample room for RV parking. And enough lovely yard and trees to make camping a possibility for the family to enjoy. So having a bonfire weenie roast can be part of your weekend plans. While the house has most modern conveniences, the farm setting adds to the overall experience, especially for the kids. The nearly one thousand square feet of covered porch wraps around three sides of the house, making relaxing and enjoying the outdoors possible even with inclement weather.

The house borders a township park with a walking trail, soccer fields, baseball fields, playground, pavilions, and much more. The property is located on the far side of the park allowing a peaceful setting, yet just a very short walk to the park itself. There is a full-size bar-b-q pit for grilling ribs for the whole crew, and a smaller fire pit for roasting marshmallows with the kids. Everything from horseshoes to corn-hole is available. This is truly a property that allows the kids to have fun.

The property itself is part of a working farm, even though the house is newer and separate from the other buildings. Sitting on the porch in the evening, depending upon the time of the year, you may see deer close by, bats flying out at dusk from the barn, and other items offered by mother nature, including a working apiary. If you find teaching the kids a bit of nature as important, this property has it all. And we encourage the kids to pick from the garden as the season allows. While the farm is still active, nobody actually lives on the property, and almost all activities stop while we have guests, to ensure your privacy and allow you to relax and enjoy your stay with us.

The house has everything from a new full-load washer/dryer, to all the kitchen appliances you may need. A stove, full fridge, microwave, pots/pans, and other items are available to make your stay as comfortable as possible.

***All Guests are required to sign a "Rental & House Rules" policy prior to their stay. We will email or send you this document once your booking is accepted. Short notice stays will be asked to sign upon arrival.

There is a NO smoking policy in effect for all buildings on the property. However this is a farm in the country. Outdoor smoking is permitted with proper disposal.

There is a "No Party" policy. The line between family and friends enjoying themselves, and full blown keg parties is NOT a fine line to be crossed.

There is a NO pet policy, but will entertain special requests. All requests will be approved PRIOR to any deviation from the stated policies. Any policies deviated without prior consent will cause loss of any security deposits.

There is NO cleaning fee. However, you are expected to leave the property in the same condition as you found it upon arrival. Dishes and the kitchen area are to be cleaned. Linens and towels are not your responsibility. Excessive cleaning due to ignorance or neglect will be deducted from the security/damage deposit. We want to allow guests the opportunity to keep fees low, and clean up after themselves.

Please contact us regarding planned events, beyond the normal vacation rental. Special arrangements and pricing available for larger groups. There is a full size bank bank with loft for outdoor group outings. This property is perfect for putting up some tents and having a picnic bar-b-q for all the family to enjoy.

We don't live on the property. And while we will be available to assist you in your stay, we are not going to "drop-by" every day to water the plants, and find excuses to check on you. We have done extensive traveling, and have seen overbearing home owners. We also have stayed places and never seen anyone during our stay. We want you to be relaxed, and enjoy your stay. If you don't need us, or have reason to call every day, that is fine with us. And if you do, that is fine also. But we leave that up to you.

There is a "blink" security system on the property. House entrances and property entrances are covered. There are NO cameras inside the house. Once you arrive and check-in, you can disconnect the security system by unplugging the sync card. This deactivates all cameras. We are not in the "guest monitoring" business. Again, there are NO cameras inside the house.

Thank you for checking out our property!
