Family Hershey trip

So happy we decided to rent this brb for our hershey park trip instead of a hotel. Everything about this property was great! Wonderful mesmerizing views and comfortable accommodations all in one! Pam was a great host and was able to meet all of our needs or questions we had during our stay. I highly recommend staying here, it meets the needs of anyone really, big groups/small groups, and its a quaint cottage surrounded with all the beauty in nature:)

Peaceful getaway at the River Cottage

Our family absolutely loved this cottage by the river. It was so peaceful to sit on the porch with the river and mountains as scenery. Pam and Mike have supplied everything you need for a comfortable stay. Excellent getaway for families. Our adult kids kayaked and we floated down the river in tubes supplied by the owners. Would highly recommend this property!

Beautiful waterfront location!

Loved the location. It is only 15 minutes from the Harrisburg yet it looked like miles away in the countryside. Good parking, enough beds for 10 people. We spent lots of time outside in the porch, just looking out the river and the mountains. We even took the kayaks to the river. I highly recommend. The owners were easy to reach and helpful.

Family Easter Celebration

Because we have family in three different states we decided to choose a place equidistance from our homes to spend a quality weekend together to celebrate Easter. The place is just as advertised, and because the owner stopped by to ensure everything was OK, and provided us with the address of a near by grocery store. Although it was somewhat cool for Easter, we were still able to sit outside around a firepit, and enjoy nature. Great stay, will try to come back when it is warmer.

Wonderful week!

We stayed for a full week with the full house of 11. The bedrooms were a little tight with 3 kiddos in sleeping bags on the floor, but everyone had space. Pam was very helpful! When we had an issue with one of the air conditioners, it was fixed within 24 hours. The dining room was the real star. Lots of room to eat, draw, and play cards. Wonderful floats and kayaks for the river. Pam really thought of everything we needed for the house, including condiments, toiletries, and pots & pans. We had a wonderful week!

Fantastic visit

The place is in great shape and has everything you could want. Lots of space with tables and chairs for eating. . Grill clean and working with extra propane. Kayaks for fun on the river and adirondack chairs for the "life guards" AKA parents. Lawn for kids to run around. AC worked great as well as TV - watched some golf and tennis. We will be back next year.Robyn
