The Christmas decorations, amenities were amazing. The kitchen was tremendous, we were cooking a dinner and even we needed was there. Thanks for a great time!
As advertised and reviewed by many, this place covered all the bases. Beautifully decorated, every amenity, loving details. Safe and secure location. Fabulous outdoor area.
The Funky Dutchman is awesome! Every last detail has been thought of and taken care of by the owners. The home is so, so cute. There are so many activities to do and it’s a house perfect for all ages. We can’t wait to come back!!
We stay at rentals a lot and I can say this house was one of the best I ever stayed at. The owners communicated the whole time making sure everything was good we would definitely stay here Again
The Funky Dutchman was an amazing place! The owners really stocked this place with everything you could possibly think of and were very responsive! The game room was a huge hit, as well as all of the character that the house had. We loved how close we were to the Rotunda Brew Pub, and just a short drive to all of the Hershey attractions. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this place to all of our friends and family!
Wow! This was, by far, the best VRBO we have ever stayed at while on vacation! The owners thought of every single thing we could possibly need which made everyone happy. I can't say enough great things about the communication, options at the house, location of the house, and the tiny little details the homeowners took care of. Honestly our vacation was made even more spectacular because of this house!
Family get together. We couldn’t have asked for more. Everyone enjoyed the well appointed decor and amenities. The children really enjoyed the game room, sauna, and yard games. Thank you for lending your home to make a memorable long weekend getaway!
Very thoughtful, wish we had spent more time here!
We had such an amazing stay with 2 families with young children and dog. Our kids didn't want to leave the game room area and movie theater. The location is wonderful and super convenient to have garage parking. There were so many thoughtful touches such as the popcorn for the movie theater, extra blankets coffee and tea station. It was very clean and one of the best stays we have had!
The Funky Dutchman was the best kind of funky! Everything was very clean, well stocked, so nice they provide sheets and towels and so much more! The kids (ranging from ages 4 to 9) had a BLAST - so much to do between the game room, movie room, pool, hot tub, smores by the fire and more. Easy drive to Hershey each day. The hosts communication was great. Would definitely stay again!
This house is impeccably clean,well laid out and roomy. The yard is completely fenced in so it’s safe for children and pets. Host is very very nice and always reachable. I highly recommend the Funky Dutchman!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Funky Dutchman! The house has everything you may need for a family vacation plus many wonderful extra features that we really appreciated. We enjoyed the close driving proximity to Hershey and the coffee shop and restaurant within walking distance. Kyle and the Brown family have thought of everything and take very good care of the property. We hope to visit again soon!
The house had everything - we had 6 adults and 3 kids and had plenty of room! Comfortable and thoughtfully designed, the home was stocked with everything you could need. Close to Hershey and other fun activities (Turkey Hill experience). Owner was responsive and kind - Highly recommend
Our stay at The Funky Dutchman was absolutely perfect! The property had so much character—quirky, fun, and comfortable, making it the ideal home base for our Northeast adventure. We traveled to explore New York, D.C., and other nearby destinations, and the location made it easy to get around while still providing a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.The home was spotless, well-equipped, and full of thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The hosts were communicative and accommodating, ensuring our stay was seamless from start to finish. If you’re looking for a unique and cozy place to stay, The Funky Dutchman is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed an extended weekend with our adult children and young grandchildren. The house was as described.
It was very clean and well stocked. We really enjoyed the game room. Unfortunately we ran out of time to use the fire pit and outdoor games. Communication was great with Kyle.
Our weekend trip was made even more wonderful by our stay at this amazing home! We spent an hour when we first got there just taking everything in! The attention to detail was well thought out and nothing was missed! We felt so at home and wished our trip would have lasted longer! The house was stocked with everything you can imagine and was so clean. The location was perfect for everything that we wanted to do. Communication with the owner, Kyle was wonderful. We would love to stay again, just longer this time!!!
Thank you for letting us stay!
We were hoping for a great escape for us and our granddaughters during their winter break and the Funky Dutchman did not disappoint! The gardens and zoo are surprisingly fun in the winter and Chocolate World can easily fill a day. Best of all, though, was hanging out at the house. We all loved the hot tub even in 20 degree weather! The game room was a big hit too, especially foosball. We watched movies in the theater room every night. With popcorn. The kitchen had everything we needed for a family dinner, but we also had a great meal at a fun restaurant right across the street. Highly recommend this place.
We just wrapped a great stay! Can’t recommend this house enough.
We had 2 families with kids aged 7-1 and there was plenty for everyone. There was actually so much provided with the house we didn’t get a chance to do it all- s’mores, popcorn maker, pool, yard games, arcade, all the TV streaming services.
Great location to get to Hershey, farm tours, restaurants, grocery stories.
The house was so clean. Everyone slept great since the beds were very comfortable. For the littlest kids it was great to have everything needed already at the house.
We booked the Funky Dutchman for our daughter’s birthday trip to Hershey Park. The home was beautifully decorated and had fall decor throughout. We couldn’t stop talking about how much we loved the home. The owners have thought about every detail and supplied everything you would need during your stay. The girls had so much fun with all the games, movie room and hot tub. We couldn’t have booked a better place to stay! We have already discussed coming back for future trips to Hershey. The town of Annville is also a gem with restaurants and coffee shops walking distance away. The owners had great communication about checking in and out but we really didn’t need to contact them at all as everything was clearly written down throughout the home. Thank you so much for a great place to stay!! It was a trip we will remember forever!
A few old friends from college get together 1-2x a year to catch up and we landed at the Funky Dutchmen for a great weekend away. Super clean and adorable. So many extras included! Linens, towels, soap, coffee, ziplock bags, etc. It was great! We enjoyed hanging out at the house, utilized the hot tub and proximity to Hershey. We enjoyed the brewery right across the street as well. Everything was great. The only issue we ran into was that the there was no where to hang up clothes. Closets were secured for what I assume to be the owner’s belongings. We were only there for a couple days so it wasn’t a big deal. If we planned to stay longer, it might have been a challenge. Minor thing really. It’s a great house.
We are a 3 generational family from ages 24-86 on a weekend getaway to reconnect. This home has a bit of Parisian flair mixed with undeniable Dutch culture making it a fabulous getaway! TOP on our list of accommodation recommendations. While our stays in vrbos may be extensive, we have never stayed in a holiday home with such complete and boundless amenities. The thoughtfulness given, from the decor to the niceties, obvious hosting families in your vacation rental is a labor of love for you. The movie theater, s’mores around the fire pit, relaxing in the hot tub, meals & games around the beautiful dining room table are the memories which last forever and will be shared with many. Not to mention what a hit the candy machine, the popcorn popper and that fabulous game room was for all of us. Check in & instructions for property were clear and concise. Definitely hope to rebook! Thank you for the goodies, for being an exceptional host & sharing your slice of paradise with us!
