Excellent stay at The Stauffer House! Host and house were both fantastic!! The house was immaculate - it was so welcoming and had all the amenities you'd need. Kitchen had everything you could need. Lots of blankets/pillows. Comfy sitting rooms. This was a beautiful historic home that has been perfectly renovated with all the modern touches you need - it is a perfect balance of old/new! We had one tiny problem with the shower curtain rod in the carriage house and Cody was easy to reach. Anthony showed up so quickly on a Friday evening to fix it and was friendly and fantastic. We had a group of 7 - ages 6 to 80. The house was conveniently located to all the Hershey attractions and close enough to visit in the morning, come back to the house in the afternoon and go back to the parks at night. Kitchen was well stocked and the dining room table was huge and the perfect gathering spot. We went when the pool was closed, but I'm sure it's also amazing in the summer.It was easy to have Instacart delivered and lots of food options nearby. Parking was easy and very convenient. Perfect place for our family celebration!

Our host could not have done more. The house is gorgeous - beautifully decorated and well-stocked with everything you need in the kitchen. Our large family of 11 people enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner there and it fit us perfectly. Would happily stay there again and wish we could’ve stayed longer!

Exceeded our expectations!

We only were able to stay 3 days and 2 nights but I immediately fell in love with this home. I kept saying, “ I wish I could move it to our farm” in Georgia. It was tidy & accommodating in every aspect. We couldn’t find an iron for our wrinkled clothing but maybe somehow we missed it somewhere. The home is huge. Only down side was the noisy traffic out front but the host was very accommodating to our late check out needs.

Amazing home for a large family

We had an amazing time at Stauffer House. The house is beautiful just like the pictures on VRBO the house had everything we needed, towels, washcloths, plenty of dishes, silverware, glasses and coffee mugs; there was even infant plates, bowls and utensils. Plenty of pots and pans and even serving dishes. The house is simply outfitted with anything you may need. We had an amazing family weekend and hope to stay at Stauffer House next year when we head to Hershey.

This house is absolutely beautiful..love how it has been restored and maintained with modern anemities but still has the historical feel. Lots of space and the most well stocked place we have ever stayed! Tons of towels, dishes, cookware..EVERYTHING we needed! The carraige house is equally adorable and we appreciated the extra space for our group. Beautiful grounds as well..love that its all fenced in for the kids and for privacy!

Couldn’t be more satisfied!

For those of you who love old homes, this is a very nice opportunity. We comfortably had our family of 12 along with a little one in a “pack & play.” The carriage house makes for a great space for people who want to be away from the rest of the guests. We were doing Hershey Park and this was a fantastic location. It is an easy 15 minutes to the park. The entire home has been meticulously upkept. I can’t imagine the amount of work it took and takes. But as I said, for those who love older homes, this 1848 gem is wonderful to enjoy. The pool area is clean and relaxing. Plenty of pool things and some corn hole boards. The shade from the trees around make the pool even more inviting when it is really hot! The yard is fenced and you feel like you are in your own little world. I especially enjoyed the layout of the landscaping and gardening. They have kep some older oak trees and a beautiful American Beech. Very nice. The host, Cody, is very responsive and knowledgable. The only thing that some guests may not be keen on is that there are 4 bedrooms upstairs but only one bathroom. Some of the bedrooms have access through other bedrooms, so you may have to go around another way if you don’t want to disturb someone in bed. For a family, this isn’t a big deal, but some guests might thing it is important. Honestly, it is amazing that this home has been retrofitted with three bathrooms to begin with—so it was well worth any inconvenience. I would rent this home again!

Fabulous, Historic Home

I stayed with my family at The Stauffer House. It was clean with many amenities. We had a great time out by the pool during the day or the fire in the evening. There are articles hanging around the house explaining the home’s history, so if you’re a history buff or just like old homes, this is the one for you. It has plenty of room and is close to Hershey Park and Chocolate World. Do not hesitate to book. Highly recommend.
