Noisy/Not A Good Look
Property was decorated very nicely although a little too much furniture for size of cottage. Bedroom was in the front of the house. Cottage is on a busy road so sleeping past 6:30 was impossible because of the traffic noise. Host didn’t know how to use the TV and there were no instructions. I finally figured it out myself. There were 5 political signs in front of the house which I thought were very inappropriate and tacky. Definitely didn’t add anything to the look of the property.

Great experience - definitely would recommend
My wife and I stayed here over a weekend so we could ride our bikes on the Northwest Lancaster County River Rail Trail and attend Stevie Nicks in concert in Hershey, and everything was great. The rental is in a quiet location but near several restaurants/cafes and stores; the description is 100% accurate, it was very comfortable and clean. It's also a little bigger than I expected from the photos - two couples or someone/couple with children could stay here no problem. The owner is responsive and directly accessible.

The property was well maintained and clean. The location was close to many major attractions including Hershey Park and several wineries. We visited for the RV show and enjoyed how close we were to many attractions. The host was very helpful with information and check-in was a breeze.

Beautiful and peaceful anniversary trip!
The check in process was so easy thanks to the host, Kurt . He made sure to communicate about the best parking, entry and even gave us suggestions for places to eat. Up In Smoke BBQ was so fantastic, I wish we lived closer!!! The cottage was beautiful, clean and welcoming. They had sparkling ciders, k-cups , little snacks and chocolates to greet us which was such a sweet touch. I love to cook and the kitchen was stocked with pots, pans, utensils and many seasonings. I would come back here in a heartbeat. No complaints!

Excellent!
Very clean! Tons of extra linens and pillows! (Some of the bath towels did smell a little mildewed, like when you put to large of load in the washer.) Loved that there was a washer and dryer. Plenty of space for a small family. Kind of hard to find property at night. (House numbers are on corner of garage.)

Wonderful “Cottage On The Park”!
We loved everything about our stay here! It was clean, cozy, and felt like a home away from home. Perfectly located for visiting Hershey, Harrisburg, and so much more. Really loved the nice deck in back which is a great place to enjoy breakfast in the morning or relax in the evening after a long day of running around the area. There is a large park behind the house as well and the neighborhood felt safe. Parking is actually behind the house (not beside it). The street in front of the house has some traffic throughout the day, but you can barely hear it in the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Very beautful, cozy and quaint
Everything went perfectly, the girlfriend and i enjoyed our stay and came to the conclusion that this was the best place we have stayed at thus far on VRBO. We wished we had booked more days to enjoy it and just relax. The place was clean, cozy and anything you could ever need is available to use. Everything just made sense! The town was nice and quaint. Very quiet. 5 out of 5 stars, would stay here again.

Beautiful cottage!
The little cottage was just adorable! Had just enough room for two people or more. Everything was provided, all utensils, small appliances and pans even though we didn’t use them. Very clean, had a nice deck with a table and umbrella that provided shade when it was sunny. Located in a nice small town but then only 20 minutes away from about anything that you wanted. Would definitely go back to this place!

Great spot to enjoy the area with kids
Very nice place located about 20 mins from Hershey, PA. I took my boys (6 & 5 yr old) for an extended weekend. The place was clean and nothing and had many provisions (as listed). Heat and AC work great (fall months so on the bubble with weather. Cold mornings, warm evenings). Did NOT feel stuffy, nor did the place have any weird smells. Shower water pressure was good and hot water did not run out. Grocery store is about 8 mins away. You can hear the traffic a little but the road it’s coming off of is not very busy so it wasn’t an issue. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful!
This was a wonderful property! The host sent us very detailed communication, the property was exactly as described, clean and well furnished. The kitchen had exactly what we needed. We walked to dinner the first night on recommendation from the host and loved the restaurant. Food was excellent! I would agree with another review about the street traffic being heard in the bedroom. I was surprised so much traffic used the small town road, Saturday was less traffic and hardly noticeable. We had a great stay for the weekend.

Comfortable stay
We were very comfortable in this apartment (not really a cottage) about 20 min outside of Hershey. It was very well-provisioned and the owner communicated clearly and effectively. A bit of morning road noise outside the bedroom - didn't bother me, but did wake my husband (but he can hear a pin drop!).

This cottage was so comfortable, I didn't want to leave. It is on a quaint little "Main St USA" type of street, but still convenient to many stores, restaurants and the bustle of Harrisburg. The owners couldn't have been nicer. I was looking for a place where I could access my husband as he hiked the Appalachian Trail and this location allowed me to stay in one place yet still get to him from Carlisle through Hamburg. I instantly felt at home when I walked in the door and my husband also appreciated the comfort for the nights when I was able to bring him off trail.
