Family reunion

The home is great and fit our family needs perfectly. The host was personable and quickly answered all our questions. The home was tastefully decorated. The grounds provided space for the children to play and in the evening provided a serene atmosphere to enjoy some wine and watch the fireflies dancing in the night air.

Beautiful property in a great location.

We had a great stay this June at this beautiful house. There were six of us, but the house could easily accommodate a much larger gathering. The home was beautiful and clean with lots of gathering areas, both indoors and out. The Mechanicsburg location was perfect for our plans as we visited nearby Hershey Park, Gettysburg (about an hour away) and Lancaster County ( an hour). When we had questions, the owner replied promptly and was very helpful.

Home Away from Home

I recently stayed at a lovely house in Mechanicsburg, and I can't recommend it enough! The host was absolutely phenomenal—responsive, welcoming, and attentive to every detail. The property was clean, comfortable, and felt like a home away from home. It exceeded my expectations, and I will definitely be returning whenever I'm in the area. A truly fantastic stay!

Family weekend gathering

We chose this property because we needed a large space to accommodate my family and my brother‘s family together. We were looking for a location close to Harrisburg, and this location was perfect and also seems like a getaway. The view from the windows is gorgeous, and also secluded. The bedrooms are very comfortable. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook meals throughout the weekend. The owner was very responsive to questions.

Good space

Good amount of space for the number of people we had. Nice big dining room table and multiple bathrooms. There were ants everywhere, and they even got into the food that we stored in the microwave to try to keep it safe. Wifi was very spotty and sometimes did not work at all. The front pathway was completely overgrown with plants which made it very difficult to walk and carry luggage through.
