Super Cute

Loved the history of the home. Kids loved the pool. Could have used some board games to entertain the kids on rainy days. One of the bedrooms only has access through another bedroom. Overall it worked for our family and the Host was really nice.

A delightful historical property with every modern convenience and more!!!

We had the pleasure of staying at the Stauffer House And enjoyed every moment in this beautiful home and grounds. We rented the home and cottage as 3 families attending a lacrosse tournament and thoroughly enjoyed every inch of the property from the main home and house pond, balcony, to the pool, separate cottage, and beautiful landscaping. We will certainly return to this well appointed home! Better than advertised!!!

Couldn’t be more satisfied!

For those of you who love old homes, this is a very nice opportunity. We comfortably had our family of 12 along with a little one in a “pack & play.” The carriage house makes for a great space for people who want to be away from the rest of the guests. We were doing Hershey Park and this was a fantastic location. It is an easy 15 minutes to the park. The entire home has been meticulously upkept. I can’t imagine the amount of work it took and takes. But as I said, for those who love older homes, this 1848 gem is wonderful to enjoy. The pool area is clean and relaxing. Plenty of pool things and some corn hole boards. The shade from the trees around make the pool even more inviting when it is really hot! The yard is fenced and you feel like you are in your own little world. I especially enjoyed the layout of the landscaping and gardening. They have kep some older oak trees and a beautiful American Beech. Very nice. The host, Cody, is very responsive and knowledgable. The only thing that some guests may not be keen on is that there are 4 bedrooms upstairs but only one bathroom. Some of the bedrooms have access through other bedrooms, so you may have to go around another way if you don’t want to disturb someone in bed. For a family, this isn’t a big deal, but some guests might thing it is important. Honestly, it is amazing that this home has been retrofitted with three bathrooms to begin with—so it was well worth any inconvenience. I would rent this home again!

Exceeded our expectations!

We only were able to stay 3 days and 2 nights but I immediately fell in love with this home. I kept saying, “ I wish I could move it to our farm” in Georgia. It was tidy & accommodating in every aspect. We couldn’t find an iron for our wrinkled clothing but maybe somehow we missed it somewhere. The home is huge. Only down side was the noisy traffic out front but the host was very accommodating to our late check out needs.

Amazing home for a large family

We had an amazing time at Stauffer House. The house is beautiful just like the pictures on VRBO the house had everything we needed, towels, washcloths, plenty of dishes, silverware, glasses and coffee mugs; there was even infant plates, bowls and utensils. Plenty of pots and pans and even serving dishes. The house is simply outfitted with anything you may need. We had an amazing family weekend and hope to stay at Stauffer House next year when we head to Hershey.

This house is absolutely beautiful..love how it has been restored and maintained with modern anemities but still has the historical feel. Lots of space and the most well stocked place we have ever stayed! Tons of towels, dishes, cookware..EVERYTHING we needed! The carraige house is equally adorable and we appreciated the extra space for our group. Beautiful grounds as well..love that its all fenced in for the kids and for privacy! Cannot say enough good things about this property..we hope to stay again!

Family trip to Hershey park

This house was perfect . Plenty of space for our family including 6 grandchildren . The outdoor space was really nice . The kids enjoyed the pool (plenty of pool toys and towels provided) . There is also plenty of seating around the pool to enjoy a drink or a meal . There is also a large grassy years where we had so much fun playing wiffle ball. The house is so well equipped with everything you might need . One last thing the owner is very responsive !!! We can’t wait to come back again !!

Fabulous, Historic Home

I stayed with my family at The Stauffer House. It was clean with many amenities. We had a great time out by the pool during the day or the fire in the evening. There are articles hanging around the house explaining the home’s history, so if you’re a history buff or just like old homes, this is the one for you. It has plenty of room and is close to Hershey Park and Chocolate World. Do not hesitate to book. Highly recommend.

Wonderful historic home

A group of us stayed for a dance competition being held at the Hershey Lodge. The house was great. Big enough for all of us. We were 7 people total. The property is beautiful and this historic home is so interesting to be in. We would stay there again if we needed to.

Beautiful House

We were in town for a family wedding. The house is very pretty with 3 different sitting areas, a large table for family meals and a nice, fully equipped kitchen with lots of storage for our groceries. They even had a baskey of toys for the kids. The backyard is lovely, I wish it hadn't been raining so we could have enjoyed it more. There are 4 bedrooms on the top floor but one of the rooms can only be accessed by passing through another bedroom so not great for anyone needing privacy. The house is on a busy road. There is plenty of parking and space to turn around the cars. The lights from the gas station across the street were bright in the front bedroom at night, but an eye mask took care of that problem. The grandparents stayed in the "Barn Shop" which is lovely but it should be noted the bathroom in the barn has an open ceiling so it isn't super private. The historic home has been beautifully restored and we would love to stay here again.
