We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this historic home. The home was clean and comfortable for the six of us. Having the river just across the street was fantastic for evening walks. Quiet location. Comfortable furniture, beds and air conditioning. Kitchen worked well and we had everything we needed to feel right at home.

This is one of the nicer historic homes we’ve stayed in. Super clean, fully stocked, and equipped with modern big-screen TVs in most rooms. The layout offers plenty of space to spread out, giving everyone their own bedroom, and importantly, the AC worked across all floors during our mid-July stay so everyone slept comfortably! It's also just a beautiful house with some architecture to appreciate. It’s centrally located and an easy 10-minute drive to everything downtown, and about 25 minutes from Hersheypark, which was ideal for our stay. It's also right near the water which is great if you want to take a walk or watch the sunset. Communication with the owners and local maintenance was very fast and helpful. We had zero issues finding ample street parking right next to the house. We'll definitely stay here again when we come back to town.
