About this house rental
This beautiful log and stone luxury home is surrounded by Pennsylvania farmland along with a back drop of blue mountains which provides a feeling of complete seclusion. Upon arriving to the farm, immediately seeing and hearing the soft sounds of the horses in the fields adds to a consuming feeling of peace and serenity.
Located in the heart of Central PA there are almost too many attractions to list from wineries, restaurants, outlets for shopping, HersheyPark and all its wonder to the vast covering Amish Country and all it provides. You may just choose to stay at the property and have a total equine experience, as well. Whatever your taste, this is a "must see" experience for anyone.
This home has various outstanding features to offer its guests starting with 3 bedrooms and a loft area to sleep, 3 baths and two living/family room areas. This home appeals to all levels of activity from playing basketball inside the half court sized garage, letting loose in multiple ways in the game room, swimming in the indoor pool, relaxing with a good book in the loft area to roasting marshmallows outside at the fire pit.
Skirted with porches and patios overlooking acres of beautiful pastures that encase a full working not for profit horse program and rescue facility. This spectacular home will appeal to all ages and groups, as well as being the perfect fit for extended family vacations, reunions or any size event occasion.
No matter how you are filling your time, whether its with many outside activities, a full equine experience or just planning a quiet get-a-way, this vacation home has it all!!

It was a great place for our group.
5.0 / 5.0
The house was amazing. My kids loved the pool and basketball court in the garage. As soon as we walked in my 11 year old said he wanted to go back next year. Having the horses right outside made it extra special. 20 mins drive to Hershey. So much better going back to that house after a day of fun than to a hotel.

I would absolutely stay here again. Came with a group of 10 guys and we had a great time! The only thing that needs to be worked is VRBO’s descriptions of the bedrooms and what is in them. Because of this not everyone had their own bed as expected but we made it work! The owner was super responsive to every question and didn’t have any delay those responses! Thank you for a great time!

inside house was clean but had problems with downstairs shower. Washer did not work, which we all planned on. We could have been informed of this but were not told until we arrived. Decks are DANGEROUS!!!!! My son foot \leg went through a deck board. Owner was sorry but never asked how his leg was!!! The weeds around house are terrible. Could not use back patio due to it being weed covered. Seeing the horses was nice.

Our family gets together every year to have a getaway weekend and go to Hersheypark. This resident has been good a place for us to have our privacy and enjoy each others company.

This trip was for a family of 16. Communication was good. The owner answered any questions fairly quick. The pool, space and game room was great. The back and front decks both need some serious work, poison ivy was coming up through the deck, broken and weak boards. No warning on the fences about them being electric. The dumpster was FULL all week so we couldn’t place the trash anywhere after the outside cans were full. The showers/bathtubs need to be updated/fixed. There was no firewood for the outside fire ring as said there would be in the binder and the washer was broken. There was constant in and out traffic and I understand it’s a working farm but they should really watch for kids playing, they would come in and out too quick for my comfort, maybe having a second entrance would be good. The location was good though and the view was beautiful. Personally would not book for the price we paid it wasn’t worth it. I think this could be a better place to book if these issues were resolved.

Beautiful, overall very nice. The pool was amazing! The house and property was amazing! We could not access the internet, the washer didn't work, they sent a repairman to check it out. But it wasn't repaired. The basement carpet was wet, so we couldn't really use it. We were not told about it, they had blowers going to dry it. We would stay there again.

Upon arrival, we quickly realized this house was a SECURITY and SAFETY nightmare, no working smoke detectors, electrical issues, inoperable windows and doors. Every door was open to enter, no key needed.
A “friend of the owner” entered the house unannounced after we checked in. She told us not to swim in the pool, for at least an hour, as she cleaned and added chemicals, which should’ve been done prior to our arrival. She also told us there was no air conditioning.
We could not open windows because they had no screens, broken screens or were NAILED shut, (owner was going to “look into it” but you can see in the pictures of the house provided, there are no screens.).
It was 83 degrees according to thermostat the entire time. Broken air conditioning units outside the home, blades were completely missing. This is not something that just happened.
When contacting the owner, she stated that she tried to let us know it was broken but her “cell service was bad”. She also tried to appease us by claiming fans were blowing, but all they did was push hot air around.
The property has no outside yard due to electrified horse fences all around and are not posted as such. Thankfully, a ranch volunteer warned us.
These are just a few of the issues we had. We contacted the owner and VRBO of the issues immediately. It’s a shame that VRBO has not removed this property to protect it’s renters. We paid too much money for an unsafe, sweaty stay (wish we could include pictures!)

Let me preface my review by saying the property was so old and dirty, we stayed for twenty minutes and left. I had booked this stay for myself and my family while visiting Hershey Park. We had been looking forward to it for months and were so disappointed upon arrival. Our first impressions were the cracked and warped front deck, the front door that would not open and the sliding glass door that was left unlocked. Once inside the house it got worse with each room we walked through. To say the house was filthy is putting it lightly, every single carpeted area was severely stained and dirty. The kitchen still had crumbs on the table, a used fork on the couch, spots of residual mess left on garbage can and counters. Under every single table or chair, etc. were balls of hair and dirt and crumbs. The master bedroom had no working light, white stains on the black comforter. Bathroom on main floor had cracked/broken door, shower and sinks were in poor condition. The downstairs bedroom with two queen size beds had ceiling tiles that were warped and visibly moldy. This place needs a complete overhaul, new carpets, paint throughout, bathroom and kitchen remodel, etc. It is old and dirty and to charge people to stay here in its current condition should be a crime. Upon contacting customer support, the host offered to come over and “clean” but this property needs far more than even surface level cleaning for it to be worth even a one star.

We absolutely enjoyed everything this property had to offer. We left looking like shriveled prunes after spending some much needed leisure time in the indoor pool. Played some basketball in the spacious garage and had front row seats from every window to watch the working horse farm. The house is clean, and felt like home. If you need a quiet place to relax and take in the sky I highly recommend this wonderful get away. We definitely plan on returning when life gives us a moment to ourselves. Thanks for allowing us to stay. ❤️

My friends and i had a great weekend on this beautiful horse farm. The extra amenities of the house were a huge hit! Thanks for hosting us!

Very pretty & peaceful. We loved seeing the horses all around the property and the mountains in the background were beautiful. The home was very large & had everything we needed for our stay. The indoor pool was tons of fun & was nice and warm.

I had each of my family members help with this review. To wake up and see the horses every morning was so relaxing. The cats and dogs were so sweet. Laverne the goat was very comical! There was plenty of room for our party of ten. The pool was awesome, after reading other reviews, I would have been disappointed if we couldn’t use the pool. The location was great and just 15 minutes to Hershey Park. The volunteers around the farm were friendly. The negatives were the deck needs a lot of work and the coffee pot was small for the amount of people that the house holds. Overall I would definitely recommend!!!

We were a group of 12 who stayed for a weekend for a Renaissance Faire visit. The house is so spacious & comfortable! Beautiful setting on a farm, and it was great to wake up and watch the horses graze. We even had a visit from a (very) friendly goat. The pool was also an amazing feature.
A heads up that there are 10 true beds + futons, so if you have a group larger than 10 be prepared for some folks to sleep on those!

This place was amazing for our family and friends to celebrate and hang out. It was spacious, plenty of room to set up in the game room or garage. We loved the indoor pool and the rooms and beds were clean and cozy. We loved how many towels and blankets were available for our use. Overall this house was a 10/10 and if we are ever in town again this is where we’d stay. Thank you for providing a lovely place to stay!

No wash cloths, coffee maker was gross not clean, staff indifferent, only decaf coffee, could barely see in the master bedroom because wattage of lights had to use flashlight to see. A grossly dirty pot holder. Kids enjoyed the pool, location good close to Hershey park.

This was year 3 and we have already booked again for next year. Always love having the pool, basketball, ping pong/foosball/game room. Frig could use a couple new rails on the door, a few light bulbs need changing, and be aware of some uneven deck planking, but nothing that stopped us from having a GREAT TIME. Absolutely love watching the horses in the fields. It is so calming & relaxing. Thanks!! See you next year.

Driving up the driveway we thought the house was beautiful. It is very quiet on the property and that was a huge plus!! There were 10 of us on the trip and the house was plenty big enough to accommodate all of us. And the pool, wow! We enjoyed the pool everyday of our trip. The main reason for our stay was to go to Hershey Park which is less than 20 minutes away!! Overall we quite enjoyed our stay, I would definitely recommend this home to anyone!!

This is our 3rd year coming to the house! We absolutely love staying here, we love that it is close to Hershey Park, the casino and the kids love seeing all of the animals and of course the pool. The host responds very quickly to any questions and concerns. Only downside is that the house could use some updating but we will definitely be back next year as this is our annual trip now

This property was perfect for my family and friends with children ages 6-10 years old. Plenty of space and calming atmosphere with the horses and beautiful surroundings. We were able to do day trips to Gettysburg and Hershey Park and the indoor pool was an absolute hit with the kids! Highly recommend for a wonderful vacation.

The layout of the property and ammenities were wonderful. It could use a few updates and repairs.

From basketball in the garage to watching the horses with the mountains in the backgrounds, there were so many moments to savor. At a moment’s notice, being able to go over to the casino to then coming home and jumping in the pool was unlike any other thing. At night, the moon was bright and the stars were clear. Cozy and surreal place to stay.

What a great trip! Firstly, Lesley went out of her way to accommodate the atypical hours of our stay. She answered all inquiries, both before and during our stay, very quickly. House is very large and very well-kept. My kids had a ball!! The heated pool was larger than most indoor pools I've seen, and the kids spent hours in it. Indoor basketball hoop was a treat, and housed in a very spacious, heated garage. It was fun to wake up in the morning to horses outside our window. I would definitely recommend this property and we hope to return again! (Just one quick note- the loft sleeping area is not enclosed, so while it's perfect for a bunch of kids, it might not be ideal for a couple)

We had 13 people staying in the house more then enough beds to fit everyone. The house had a very nice size pool that we definitely used. House is huge and lots of room. We will definitely be renting this house again in the near future. Highly recommend

The place is beautiful. On the surface it seems very clean but it is in need of a deep cleaning and rugs need to be cleaned. We had a great stay the pool is great.

Lovely house in a pretty rural setting for our first Cousin Week since 2019. It was clean and comfortably well-used, so you aren't afraid to have a crowd of large and small kids. The pool, basketball court and game room were used by all. Kitchen equipment was the most complete of any of the 12 rentals we've used. Our crew was larger than this house could accommodate, but there are good hotels only 5 minutes away. Property manager(s) were easily available.

Beautiful rental home in lovely location. Loved seeing horses outside and all the gorgeous decorations throughout the rooms. Our family had a wonderful holiday gathering. Fun for all 4 generations with plenty to keep us busy. In addition to the pool, the game room was a popular place for the kids. Our host was quick to answer any questions we had and made sure we were comfortable during our stay.

The property is beautiful and unique, and was perfect for our multigenerational family trip. The entire home was decorated throughout for the holidays, and well-stocked with everything we needed during our stay. We all enjoyed the heated indoor pool, and the game room and the garage basketball court were great diversions too and perfect for allowing people to split off and spend time in separate groupings. It was fun to see the horses and the goat from the windows, and the farm setting was a nice counterbalance to the bustling nearby Hershey attractions we visited during our stay. Our hosts provided clear instructions and we really appreciated the ease of checking in and the very reasonable expectations of what to do before leaving the property after our stay. If we were to return the one thing I would do differently is to bring our own coffee maker- there is a small one in the kitchen that worked perfectly but does not make many cups of coffee at a time and it would have been nice to be able to brew a pot large enough to serve all of us or else a mini Keurig so that we each could have made our own. The provided coffee and filters with creamers and sugar was a nice touch though that we appreciated. Overall we had a wonderful, comfortable stay and would definitely recommend!
