      Creek side cottage with awesome porch and fire pit

      Creek cottage on Conodoguinet Creek a class 1 stream on the International Whitewater Rating system with private access for kayaks, tubes and canoe - bring your own or rent from us. Convenient to everything but private. Hershey and Carlisle are an easy 20 minute drive. House is located on creek with a septic system so we use environmental safe products and ask guests to conserve water while showering. We have organic apple, peach and pears on the property for guests to enjoy in season. We allow pets with additional fee. The house sits on a Good Hope Road which is a busy route connecting Carlisle Pike and 81. The house is 5 minutes to grocery, drug store, movie theatre, and all major food choices. Creek living with all amenities so convenient does mean you will hear cars passing by when outside. We don’t allow parties and ask that when outside to respect neighbors. Fire pit is available and you can bring your own wood. Fishing is permitted in creek under PA Game and Fish guidelines. Canoe, kayaks and tubes available to rent. For guests staying 5 days they are free to use once liability waiver is signed.

      Convenient and Clean
      We enjoyed staying at Lynne's property along a beautiful creek (even if the weather didn't allow us to enjoy it fully). The house was spacious for our family and convenient to the event we were attending in Mechanicsburg. We would recommend it to others. Our interactions with Lynne went smoothly.

      Excellent. Just as described!
      Excellent property. We only slept there, so now shower, no use of the kitchen, etc. We didn't really have time to enjoy the property. But it is a beautiful spot on the water and one we will probably come back to.

      Nice winter weekend
      Despite the not so nice initial impression driving in on the very short steep driveway, this place did not disappoint. Initial impression- it was winter: brown grass, mud, visible mold stains on outside of house. The inside was cute and cozy and was the perfect space for our family and dog. It was too cold to enjoy the porch but that seemed great. Overnight it snowed, how beautiful the property was then! The driveway was a challenge but there was plenty of ice melt available and we needed it to get out! Lynne was an amazing, communicative host offering up many suggestions for our son who will be relocating to the area. We definitely would stay again. I would be curious to know what the property looks like in the spring/summer/fall when it is green.
