Hershey getaway

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 place to stay when going to the park. It is super nice and clean. Owner is great and really cares if you are ok with everything and having fun. He checked in on us a few times. Sooo much better than staying at a big foreign owned gross motel that just wants you $

Such a great property!

My 3 teens & I loved every second of time we spent in this fantastic house! Super clean & cozy (with wonderfully comfy beds & pillows), and close to all the fun stuff at Hershey! And the hot tub was so relaxing after a long day of rollercoasters & chocolate! If there was another star available we would give it a 6 out of 5!

Extended stay

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.

Charming

James is a fantastic host; very responsive, helpful and personable. His property is a wonderful blend of 19th century charm and modern updates. Loved the master four-poster bed. The furnishings, linens, artwork and decor were pleasing, comfortable and of high quality. And the house was very clean which made us feel comfortable right away.

“Travelers Post” Best Hershey Rental Home!!

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!

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.

A little pleasure and a little work

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!

Excellent place to stay near Hershey Park

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.

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!

Great place to stay in Hershey!

This house is VERY close to Hersheypark and made it very convenient to come back in the middle of the day if needed. The house was clean and in good condition. We especially loved the hot tub out back! The neighborhood was pretty quiet and definitely safe. The new owner was very quick to respond and help with any issues. The only negative thing I would say is that it probably only sleeps 6 adults comfortably (our listing said sleeps up to 8). There are extra foam pads to use on the floor but not sure how comfortable they would be. For our family it worked because we had one kid in a pack n play and we put our other 3 younger kids on the sleeper sofa.
