Cocoa Cottage with a Private in-Ground Pool

Welcome to the Cocoa Cottage, one of the original Milton Hershey homes, built for chocolate factory staff in the late 1920's. The cottage is situated in the heart of downtown Hershey, where on any given day the scent of chocolate fills the air! It is nestled within one block of the Best Restaurants, Cafes, Hershey's Live Theater, Parks, Italian Market and even Zoo America! The Cottage boasts the best seats in town for all fireworks celebrations on New Years Eve and the Fourth of July!

During the summer months between Memorial Day and Labor Day your family can enjoy a private salt water in-ground swimming pool, gas grill and deck with a view of Hershey Park's rollercoasters! This house is available year round for a family vacation, reunions or a cozy get-away. Monthly rentals are available if you're here on business or relocating.

Two of the bedrooms have queen size beds with TV/DVD players. The third bedroom has a bunk bed with a full size bed on the bottom. If you need an additional bed there is a pullout sofa in the living room. The kitchen is fully stocked and all linens, towels and pool towels are provided. All you need to do is pack your suitcase!

Great place that was just like home

We stay in a lot of homes, and this kitchen was so inclusive. Multiple coffee makers - every pot & pan you could ever need, and glassware, plates, and utensils were very nicely stocked. Pool was fabulous after long days, and salt water made it even better. Easy walking to multiple restaurants and things to do. I completely recommend this place.

VERY PLEASANT STAY

We were impressed with all aspects of the house and pool. Very well stocked with kitchen, bath and pool essentials. The house is so close to downtown Hershey, the park, chocolate factory and other outdoor activities. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking to explore all that Hersey has to offer.

A Home Away from Home!

We had the pleasure of staying here over a long holiday weekend. The home was all you would want and more. It was well stocked, clean, and in a great location. Restaurants, coffee shops and many attractions were located near by. The host was a pleasure to deal with and we are looking forward to our next visit!

Family Hersheypark vacation

The Cocoa Cottage was above and beyond what my family and I ever expected!! The house is amazing! Clean, so cute, great layout, perfect location but most of all the pool was incredible!!!!! The owner has the home stocked with all necessities, very detailed instructions regarding check in/check out, trash, etc. A cute handy pamphlet with extra info about nearby restaurants and areas to check out. This was by far the best house rental I’ve booked and can’t wait to visit again! Thank you!!

Great even without Hersey Park

Thank you Heather and family for the great cottage! It has everything you need. The pool was awesome! We even left the park early to just swim in the pool. Have to return without visiting Hersey Park.

House was very clean and kitchen had everything we needed. The host was quick to communicate when we had any questions. The only minor things that could be improved are updating the power outlets and mattresses. We struggled to use a lot of the power outlets (plug would not stay in properly, outlet wouldn’t charge devices properly), so I would suggest updating those. Also, a couple of the mattresses were very lumpy and uncomfortable, so I would suggest updating those for a more pleasant stay for future guests. Other than those minor things, we really enjoyed our stay!

Charming Hershey Cottage

Cocoa Cottage was meticulously clean and well stocked with every amenity you could think of. The location was in walking distance of many restaurants and attractions. We enjoyed the spacious deck and well appointed rooms. We were wishing it was summer so we could have enjoyed the beautiful pool. Our hostess was attentive in communication. We will be back!
