We stayed during Halloween weekend, so our family could visit Hershey Park which was very close by. The place was great, very organized & clean. Our party included 4 adults, a 17 year old & a 12 year old. We had plenty of room to spread out. We took full advantage of the outside area, to cook, play, & relax. We had the perfect weather for it. Emily really thought of everything, we packed several items we normally need at vacation rentals and they were already there! We would absolutely stay again if we are ever back in the area. There are plenty of things to do close by as well as plenty to do at the house to keep everyone entertained.

Everything was so right, I never needed to contact the owner, just clean and right, and lovely. A grocery store around the corner and great access to all the amenities in Hershey. I’ll stay here the next time I come back to Hershey.

Emily’s place was fantastic for our needs. We were two families each with a babies. Not only are there great amenities like a travel crib and high chair, but the bedrooms each are large enough to have travel cribs and room to move around. Sound also doesn’t travel much and the place was a great size! Beyond this, the place was absolutely spotless and looks brand new. The backyard was so enjoyable to be in, and the location is perfect for seeing the sights in Hershey - everything was less than 10 min away. We loved it so much we’re already booked again for next year!

Emily's place checked every box for our stay. Her place was squeaky clean in every corner, like it had never been used by others. The decor was beautiful, the beds were extremely comfortable, and each bedroom included fan and white noise makers, which was a nice touch. The amenities were incredible. The coffee bar was fully stocked and there was a high-end DeLonghi coffee maker so we could make espressos and cappuccinos every morning. We didn't have to worry about getting toilet paper, paper towels, or laundry detergent- it's all there. The outdoor space was an absolute dream. The hot tub, covered porch, TV, fireplace and grill are so nice. The only wrinkle we had was with an abundance of red lantern flies. They are everywhere in this part of the world, so it's unavoidable. But- I contacted the team the day we got in, and they came over early the next morning and sprayed and cleaned them up, and offered to come daily to do that if needed. 100% recommend! I'll be back!
