House on Town Square-experience an early 1800s house and all of its charm!

This early 1800s original home right in the square of town will give you a memorable stay! 20 minutes to Hershey, Lebanon and Harrisburg. The three bedroom home sleeps up to 6 people. Walking distance to the local coffee shop, ice cream shop, community park and local rail trail. This house has been restored to its former glory. It has its fun quirks as all older homes do which I hope you find charming! The floors might creak or be unlevel from all its years of life being lived on them. The stairs to the second floor are very steep and narrow. You might have trouble with them if you have mobility issues. The stairs are original so they were just built to fit in the space. The 3, very spacious bedrooms are all upstairs. The two front bedrooms have full sized beds, and the rear bedroom has two twin beds. The living room has a roku smart tv and there is WiFi throughout the house. There’s a full dining room off the kitchen and a bar table for seating in the office. The house sits right on the Main Street in our small town so expect to hear street noise at times.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and 1.5 bathrooms, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Host was responsive and welcoming. House was adorable and historic!! Decorating charmingly eclectic and everything was clean and tidy. Comfortable all around. Not a modern, cookie cutter house. If you want unique and a historic home that is a comfortable place to watch a movie and rest your head, this is it. Parking super easy and coffee shop across the street has great breakfast sandwiches. We stayed for a weekend trip to Hershey park for the christmas events.

As advertised...small quaint town. Location is fine as a "base" to visit other attractions PA. has to offer. Other than checking in/out no communication with the owner was needed which was a good thing. For the amount paid it was a great value...would stay here again.

Misrepresented unclean and stressful stay

I’m honestly shocked this property has such high ratings, because our experience was the complete opposite. The reviews claimed the house was “very clean” and “comfortable,” with a 9 out of 10 star rating.That was absolutely not the case.I think the decor was supposed to reflect the home’s history, but it ended up feeling uncomfortable and a bit eerie.This place was nothing like the listing. The front door had cracks in the glass which felt unsafe. It smelled like cigarette smoke trying to be covered up. We sprayed Lysol, wiped everything down and it still stank. The chairs were dirty we had to lay a towel or trash bag down first before sitting. There were no closets to hang our clothes, which was a big issue since we were in town for a convention. The stairs were dangerously steep, one step felt like it might collapse. No kitchen light, dirty blinds in the bathroom that wouldn’t close, and a stained dirty chair in there too. The tub was dirty I had to buy cleaner to spray it before using and I still had to wear flip-flops to shower.We were so uncomfortable, we had to leave early. It completely stressed us out. We had to rush back on our lunch break to pack, and ended up commuting two hours a day just to make the convention work.Not only was it unclean it’s poorly maintained.I hope this review will help the next person avoid the stress we went through.

Great place to stay

It was great place to stay, quite and calm neighborhood, the stairs like others have said are narrow but that is expected with an older historical home. It was clean and had everything we needed. Thanks again for the stay.

Great Location! Excellent Host!

We loved this neat house full of fun personality and history! Staying with kids and teens is fun because of the fun stories you can create with the old photos. We were able to watch the smart TV after a wonderful long walk on the trails through the town and see beautiful wildlife! We went to the local coffee shop both days for delicious coffee and treats!! Quick trip to Hershey for fun too! Excellent host and communication!

Quirky For Sure

We chose this place for the proximity to where we were visiting and for its history. Trust the reviews commenting on the quirkiness and the crazy stairs. The house is really old and it shows in every room from the old closed off fireplaces to the creaky floors and super steep stairs. Not sure if it’s haunted but there were a couple questionable things that happened that made us wonder. The only complaint, if you want to call it that, was the house could have been a bit more clean in some areas, but nothing we were too concerned about.

Very nice vintage home.

Everything was great in the house! What you would expect in a much older home. It was clean and comfortable. Location was great because i was raised on a farm just outside of town. So we had a lot of family/friends to visit so the location was perfect. Host, Kim was very nice and always got right back to us with any inquiries we had. The bathtub would be the biggest we downfall of the house. The claw tub was nice, but when showering there wasnt .uch room Stairs are steep and original,but we managed and we are seniors! Everyhing was comfy and homey. Any quirks would just be chalked to being a very old home. All in all a great stay and we were able to stay an extra day. areseniors.claustrophobiwhenshowering.

Unique stay in Central PA

My friends and I had a great stay at this home. It is an incredibly unique home. We had fun exploring the rooms and creating stories for the characters throughout. The home had all the amenities we needed for the weekend stay, and having the local businesses close by (driving or walking) was great. Would certainly book this location again!

Cozy, one of kind historic home

It was everything our family hoped it would be. We saw the age and history through the photos and it was better in person. Built in 1800 it brought you back to when times were simple but with updated more modern features. Updated washer and dryer. Bathrooms were great. Beds were comfortable. Tv had roku so we could log in to our streaming apps on a rainy night. We loved the character of the place. Stairs were a challenge with our big feet but i wouldn’t change them. I would add a tablecloth to dining room table since you can't put anything on it without it leaving a mqrk.we recommend staying here and would stay again when we are in the area. Host responded and communicated well.
