Adorable cottage

Planned a trip to Hershey for friends and family to get together. Easy 25 minute ride to the house, cottage was cute and exactly as described. Kids loved the ice cream place around the corner. Wish we stayed longer so we could have checked out the lake area nearby. Would definitely stay here again!

Little piece of Heaven

My family stayed here and had a wonderful time. Everything was perfect. We played games on the front porch, we ate dinner at the table together, and enjoyed walking to the jigger shop for our evening dessert. I highly recommend staying here and hope to be back again soon.
