A Very Merry Home for Christmas
We booked the home for our immediate family of 8 and the proximity to extended family at Christmas. The home had everything we needed, decorated perfectly for the holidays and location was great. The surrounding area very convenient, the grounds around the house as well as basement inside home offered a variety of fun activities for all. Home was well equipped and large enough to host several dinners with our extended family. William was quick to respond to any and all questions in a timely manner. We will definitely return!!

This creekside property was a perfect gathering place for us to bring together family. In warmer weather there are multiple large outdoor picnic tables that you can watch the Creek roll by. For colder weather the home has a very warm, remote cabin feel to it. The remote feeling is especially cool considering you're just minutes away from Harrisburg, Carlisle Pike, and Mechanicsburg dining and entertainment options. It's also minutes from Grandma's house in our case, so we plan on being back! Five stars

Beautiful home with gorgeous views
We rented this property for a weekend family get together and had an amazing experience. We had questions before arriving and the host was very responsive and helpful. Property is wonderfully decorated with many fun things for the children. An adorable bunk bed, closet with toys and multiple outdoor toys as well. Two other bedrooms with huge comfortable beds and bathrooms attached. The views are absolutely stunning from all of the decks. Property is well maintained with multiple beautiful trees and a water overlook. We will definitely be staying again!

Perfect stay with grandpop
My father has a lot of mobility issues. This house was perfect. He could sit on the porch and watch my children play in the yard and the creek. It allowed us a very relaxed few days. I found a lovely running trail nearby and we took the kuds to Paulus Farm market for a day of fall fun.

Family vacation
This property worked very well for my family - 6 adults and 5 children between the ages of 3-9. We all fit comfortably and the extra things that were there for the children was great. We would recommend this property to friends and family and could potentially look to rent this place in the future. The host was great and responded to our questions in a timely manner.

This property was exactly what we needed for our family vacation. We had 3 generations staying here and this home had everything we needed and more. It felt like a home with all of the little touches throughout. It even has a little playroom that my granddaughter loved. The host was very helpful and attentive. We would highly recommend this home.

We have great memories
Our visit to your home was a great focus for us, leaving us with Great memories of celebrating our loss of a beloved Pop-Pop Even though we were grieving our loss your home provided us with all of the necessary essentials to accommodate the many different needs that we had. Being late April, rain brought the creek level up by a minimum of 18 inches which was a simple normal occurrence that was exciting to witness and watching geese ducks and fish many different birds all doing what they do best in the Springs arrival Every time we looked around we could find something different to enjoy as if fairies came Bye And put something new out to discover As we were packing our bags into our cars to check out, my key fob became locked into my car for the first time. While waiting for AAA to help with my lock out another cool discovery of a herb garden witch I sampled a pinching of mouth watering mint plant Thank you for our stay at your home Truly a Celebration of Life for my Family!!!

Wonderful Holiday Retreat Creekside
The property is beautiful and the host went absolutely above and beyond to make our Christmas stay a special one! They decorated the house beautifully and even left a special activity surprise for our young boys. The creek view is beautiful—especially when it snows! The kitchen is fully equipped, and the linens were great quality! This was the perfect place for our family to all be under one roof for the holidays. It’s also less than 10 minutes from lots of amenities. We would absolutely recommend booking this property!
