Beautifully appointed house within minutes to Hershey Park. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor hot tub and backyard area as well as the renovated interior spaces. The owner made sure we had ample information in advance of our stay. It was a cozy retreat and we hope to return!

This was a lovely place to stay near all of the Hershey attractions. So beautiful.
James was a great host and the house was well stocked with essentials. Extremely convenient to downtown Hershey and the park. Hot tub was great for relaxing as well! Highly recommend if visiting Hershey.
The location was perfect to go to a Hershey Bears game and Hershey Park for a weekend. We were so close to the complex and there was plenty of space and privacy. The owners are very responsive and the house was perfect for my family with little kids. We would definitely stay here again!
Great Property & Awesome Location for Hershey Park
Great property, just the right size for the 5 of us. The house is very nicely decorated with beautiful bathrooms. Very historic feel. My grand kids loved the hot tub! Very comfortable bedrooms.
First time using VRBO and I am very impressed. After reading terrible reviews for many of the hotels in the area we decided to check out VRBO and we are so glad we did. This place was well cared for and beautiful. Having our own hot tub was so nice after a long day walking around Hershey Park. Would definitely recommend.
Nice house with the hot tub and sauna that was very close to Hershey park. Good location in the area with a short drive to restaurants, grocery store, ECT. Family of 5 and it fit our needs perfectly.
I know it is hard to get the highest stars as typically there is always room for "improvement", but this place deserves it. Loved, loved, loved the house. Beautifully decorated and extremely clean. "Give that cleaning lady a raise". LOL.James was a great Host always available to answer any questions!I was there for a conference at Hershey and it only took me 7 minutes to get to the Convention Center.Must stay!
Vacation with the family to visit Hershey Park and this was the perfect place to stay. Super close by and the Hot Tub was such a great bonus to enjoy in the morning and to relax at night. 3 boys so the Xbox was a huge plus and really can't think of one amenity that was missing! Great communication with the manager too. Thanks again!
Wonderful place beautifully renovated . Loved the hot tub did not use sauna . Kitchen was well supplied for any cooking needs . We only made coffee and toast . Stairs would be tricky for some quests but we were fine . Showers were hot . Lovely place .
This property had everything my family and I needed to be a home away from home while a loved one was in the hospital nearby. We enjoyed the large shared space, both inside and outside. The hot tub and sauna were a wonderful way to relax at the end of some extremely difficult days. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, the furniture was comfortable and the decor was tasteful. Most of all, the host was compassionate, flexible and understanding of our situation every step of the way. I highly recommend this spot for a Hershey stay.
I was coming to Hershey for a Pet Grooming Expo for my business and my husband came along with me. We had a fun day in the town of Hershey and then I spent several days at my expo. The rental was great! It was nice to come back and make dinner and relax in the hot tub. During the day my husband worked and used the sauna. The owner was quick to rely when we wanted him to know something. The rental was easy to use with lots of information on site. We would definitely stay here again!
We all went to Hershey Park to see Kendrick and SZA perform, as well as celebrate my fiancé’s birthday. It was such a perfect location for easy access to the Stadium where the concert was held.
The amenities were fantastic especially for fitness focused people’s like us.
The backyard had a really nice setup with a fully functioning sauna and hot tub, which was perfect for all of us to relax in after the show.
Communication with the property owner was always quickly received and responded to within minutes, even when we couldn’t figure out how to turn the oven on after we had returned from the show at 11:30pm. James saw our message asking how to work the oven and responded with a full video instructing us how to turn it on.
I would highly recommend families or small groups of friends to stay here anytime they are in the Hershey area for an event or to visit the park.
Most of the time anyone can find something negative to say about either the property itself or the homeowners and/or property manager. My family and I looked at every single location within 30min of Hersheypark itself and for my family the closest and best residence to the park was this location, we were able to arrive to the park itself within 5 minutes once we pulled out of the home. The Travelers Post itself had everything we needed and more. All the space we could ask for once getting back after a long day at Hersheypark. Each bedroom and the living room had smart tv’s which for my family is a must. The homes Wi-Fi is amazing with all of the televisions, 4 cellphones, and tablets running off of it at the same time, it ran flawlessly, non stop. The supplies left for you to have access to is amazing as well. The kitchen has everything you need and more. 2 and 1/2 bathrooms is more than perfect for our family of 4. There is never a wait on restroom breaks and/or showers. Each and every room in that home is set up beautifully. You can see the timelessness of a beautiful older home yet once inside it has all the best appliances and style is impeccable. For our 9 and 12 year old girls to love the home more than Hersheypark on some of the days, that should say something in itself. For my husband and myself the hot tub and sauna was a blessing after 9 hour days at Hersheypark. We more than loved our stay and will return as often as possible, when this home only is available!
This property was fantastic for our 3 day trip to Hershey! It was perfectly located for all the things we wanted to do and was a great setup for our family of four.
Spent a weekend getaway here. The location was peaceful and quiet. We had a great time and definently reccomend the Travel Post to anyone who wants to visit the Hershey area.
