The Respite – A Stylish, Family-Friendly Retreat Near Hershey

Welcome to The Respite, your home away from home nestled in the peaceful hills of West Hanover Township—just minutes from the magic of Hersheypark, Chocolate World, and all the sweet adventures Central PA has to offer!

Designed with families and groups in mind, this stylish 4-bedroom, 2-bath getaway offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and modern charm. With 1 king bed, 2 queen beds, 2 twin beds, and a cozy sofa bed, there’s plenty of room for everyone to relax and unwind. Each bedroom is spacious and serene, with blackout curtains for restful sleep and thoughtful touches throughout.

Step inside to soaring ceilings, natural light, and an open-concept layout that brings everyone together. Whether you're making pancakes in the fully equipped kitchen, enjoying a game night around the dining table, or curling up for a movie in the comfy living room, every moment here feels effortless and connected.

The lower-level family room offers a second hangout space—great for teens or quiet downtime. And outside, the large deck and patio invite you to grill, share stories, or simply breathe in the fresh air.

With central A/C, fast WiFi, a washer and dryer, and two full bathrooms (one with a tub, both with hair dryers), The Respite is fully stocked for a stress-free stay.

Explore scenic trails, local markets, charming cafes—or spend your day at Hersheypark, just a short drive away. When you return, you’ll have a peaceful, stylish space to recharge and reconnect.

The Respite isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s where family memories are made, laughter fills the rooms, and comfort meets connection.

Home Away from Home

Words cannot express how felt about this home. Beautiful, open, and very accommodating. Close to everything. In a quiet area and safe. I would rent from them again. A gem..

Great stay near Hershey

The property is beautiful, just as seen on the pictures. We are a family of 8. The house had enough space for everyone and allowed us to spread out. It has everything you will need for an enjoyable stay. The kitchen is stocked with all essentials. My daughter had a spill getting into the car. Thankfully they had a first aid kit at the house. The host left us some welcome treats as well which was a nice touch. Will definitely book again.

What a beautiful home!! Everything is so well thought out. We appreciated the well appointed kitchen, the children’s books, multiple ways to make coffee ), comfortable beds, and beautiful, updated living spaces and bathrooms. I can’t remember the last time I’ve actually liked a pillow away from home! Seriously stumbled on a gem here! It is a very easy 15 mins drive to Hersheypark and perfect for 1-2 families. We made wonderful memories here with our dear friends, and were so grateful for this beautiful space to share. Couldn’t recommend more!

A Hidden Gem

This property is all that it say that it is. The home is cleaned and decor is very creative. What you see online is the true painted picture of the home. The communication was a 10/10. Very close to Hershey Park and other places. Everything we needed was available. If you’re ever in the area I encourage you to get this gem if it’s available. I am very meticulous about staying in other places other than home, but I felt very comfortable in this home. The owner was even thoughtful enough to leave the kids a snack!
