About this house rental

Beautiful home right on the Susquehanna River! Amazing river views from front windows. Walking distance to Capitol, Midtown Scholar Bookstore, Broad Street Market, Strawberry Square, Whitaker Center. Light and bright house with updated interior. We are minimalist in our decor, so we don't have a lot of clutter. But we believe in having items of quality and value. Each decorative item in our home has been chosen carefully and brings us much joy! Handmade Amish quilts on all the beds. Beautiful stained glass windows. Local, original works of art throughout the house. A Persian carpet in the living room made from natural dyes and purchased through a fair-trade organization. 2 outdoor decks you can relax and eat on. An outdoor patio off the kitchen. We also love to eat breakfast in the summer at the little table outside our front door. Speaking of breakfast, we love the donuts and cinnamon rolls just a few blocks away from the Broad St. Market. We are members of the Mennonite faith which means we are not allowed to have a TV in our home. However, we do not want to impose our values on our guests, so we provide free WiFi - so bring your laptop and devices along to get your screen time. Our family enjoys talking, walking, and playing together. We have board games and books at the house for your enjoyment. Enjoy the great outdoors! Just walk outside and start jogging, walking, and biking along river. Nice walk to City Island (about 25 min. walk) where you can use batting cages, arcade games, watch Senators baseball games, City Islanders soccer games, Water mini-golf, playground, etc. We love this house and we know you will too! As a family of nine, we live here only part of the year. We love knowing that our home is available to other large groups or even family reunions. We know how hard it is to find similar accommodations in hotels where groups can spend time together. History: The house was owned for 35 yrs. by a professor of psychiatry. Both of us are professors as well, of biology and political science. This house is a great place to relax and take a break from work!

The property was immaculately clean and very well appointed. My friends used it as a central location while we were attending a convention in Harrisburg and is served us really well. The only small ding on an otherwise really perfect property is that parking is tough. This isn't the owner's fault of course but it's worth mentioning that if you're commuting by car you will need to carefully check all posted signage.

This property was everything promised in the description. We stayed the weekend to attend a family wedding and were very happy with our choice of this accommodation.

We were disappointed by the advertising and disclosures after you had our money (with a no refund policy) that would have most assurdly not been something we would have chosen. We were greatly disturbed by the three story situation, the terrible parking problem and the incredible level of traffic within five steps of the front door. The decorating description was embellished..

Several friends and I were in town for a wedding and had a great time here. The place is clean and inviting. Everyone was comfortable in their bedrooms and there were also multiple outdoor spaces. We had a couple of wedding related events in town and we were able to walk to all of them. The house is located across the street from a river and so we had a pleasant walk along the river into town. One member of our group is a runner and she enjoyed running along one side of the river to a bridge then back along the other side to a second bridge. Check in was straightforward and the house had the amenities we needed (towels, hairdryer, etc.).

Excellent views of the river and just where we needed to be for our event in downtown Harrisburg. The Zooks are great hosts that give you all the details you need for a good stay.
