My family was very impressed with this property. Only issue we had was the blender bottom seal was shot and lead to leaking our mixed drinks during the stay. Kitchen was impressive.The black make up towels and tea kettle brought back my Westin work life. The bedroom with the jacuzzi was very comfortable and family had no problem with sleeping

Great For Big Groups!

Eight of us stayed here for a weekend. It was as advertised, with plenty of space for us to spread out in. Everything was clean and working well. The one downside is that the children's playroom, which we had planned to use as a bedroom, was unusable due to a foul smell, as if an animal had died in the wall. We were nonetheless able to accommodate everyone and had an excellent weekend.

Delightful

I cannot say enough good things about our stay at the Swiss Chalet. The house is huge with lots of space to gather together. We sat 10 at the dining table with no problem. It was immaculately clean and thoroughly well supplied. The location is perfect. We went to Lancaster one day, Hershey another, and Lititz on a third day. Mt. Greta is quaint with some cool interesting restaurants and a world famous ice cream shop. Emily, the property manager was so easy to communicate with and responded quickly to our few inquiries. I recommend it highly.
