All spaces are designed to provide soothing havens for rest and gathering, tastefully appointed with world art, textiles and antiques.

“Travelers Post” Best Hershey Rental Home!!
Most of the time anyone can find something negative to say about either the property itself or the homeowners and/or property manager. My family and I looked at every single location within 30min of Hersheypark itself and for my family the closest and best residence to the park was this location, we were able to arrive to the park itself within 5 minutes once we pulled out of the home. The Travelers Post itself had everything we needed and more. All the space we could ask for once getting back after a long day at Hersheypark. Each bedroom and the living room had smart tv’s which for my family is a must. The homes Wi-Fi is amazing with all of the televisions, 4 cellphones, and tablets running off of it at the same time, it ran flawlessly, non stop. The supplies left for you to have access to is amazing as well. The kitchen has everything you need and more. 2 and 1/2 bathrooms is more than perfect for our family of 4. There is never a wait on restroom breaks and/or showers. Each and every room in that home is set up beautifully. You can see the timelessness of a beautiful older home yet once inside it has all the best appliances and style is impeccable. For our 9 and 12 year old girls to love the home more than Hersheypark on some of the days, that should say something in itself. For my husband and myself the hot tub and sauna was a blessing after 9 hour days at Hersheypark. We more than loved our stay and will return as often as possible, when this home only is available!

Hershey getaway
The location was perfect to go to a Hershey Bears game and Hershey Park for a weekend. We were so close to the complex and there was plenty of space and privacy. The owners are very responsive and the house was perfect for my family with little kids. We would definitely stay here again!

Extended stay
This property had everything my family and I needed to be a home away from home while a loved one was in the hospital nearby. We enjoyed the large shared space, both inside and outside. The hot tub and sauna were a wonderful way to relax at the end of some extremely difficult days. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, the furniture was comfortable and the decor was tasteful. Most of all, the host was compassionate, flexible and understanding of our situation every step of the way. I highly recommend this spot for a Hershey stay.

Great place to stay when going to the park. It is super nice and clean. Owner is great and really cares if you are ok with everything and having fun. He checked in on us a few times. Sooo much better than staying at a big foreign owned gross motel that just wants you $
