Great experience

The house is as pictured and is stocked with plenty of essentials. We loved the privacy and not having to worry about being around people because of COVID. The kids really enjoyed the pool. We did have to clean out the pool everyday because of the bugs/tree debris but it wasn’t an issue for us -we were literally in the middle of the woods so it was to be expected; there was a cleaning net available for the pool. The pond is nice but the paddle boats were very dirty and could not be used. We loved being able to enjoy bonfires every evening. It would have been nice if all the bedrooms upstairs had televisions. There were only 2 TVs- one in the living room and one in the master bedroom. Ralph was extremely helpful, nice, and offered a few suggestions of activities outside of the house. We ventured to the zoo after his recommendation and loved it. We had a great time and look forward to coming here again.

Secluded Oasis In Enola, Pennsylvania

Our family had a great vacation at this secluded oasis in Enola, Pennsylvania! The house was clean and fully stocked and there was a huge above ground pool, playground, and large yard (acres!) to keep the kids entertained. The deck has been upgraded from the pictures. It is slippery when wet - we had to remind the littles to walk (not run) on the deck. The house is conveniently located near Interstate 81 so travel to HIA, Hershey, Carlisle, Mechanicsburg, etc. is easy. Cindy and Ralph were easy to work with.

Fit my needs

I really didn't want to leave a review! ONLY because I'd like to keep this place as our little secret. lol. First I'd like to thank the owner and staff for a great experience! (We'll be back) I understand changes occur but some people won't so here's the changes I noticed. Decoration & Wall mounts : Fox missing (fine by me) Deer heads mounted (Freaked out mother-in-law, but IDGAS). Fire pit benches -gone (Great) Now has several Large plastic lawn chairs. (Had a leaf or two but easy to clean, and comfy) Pond- Not clear to walk up to edge (Sucks, but I wasn't prepaired to fish anyway so not a big deal. Plus side: Over growth should help increase fish stock) Kitchen TV didn't work (Probably on their upgrade list as I'm leaving this review) 1st fl bedroom tv wasn't set up with input source & too old to connect firestick to it (I'm sure it's probably being upgraded too) *Brand new TV purchased & delivered during stay was thoughtful!!! The kids were so happy to connect & play games. The timing was perfect because we had a couple rain days and the kids were entertained, Thanks again! I can't think of anything that was missing or needed. They were on point, the house is fully stocked. We brought sheets, tablets, drinks, food and didn't need anything else! Great staff & location! We had a great time, and hope to be regulars.

Overall pleasant experience

Overall, we enjoyed our time and the property was pretty remote and had a pool, firepit and play structures for the kids. My kids loved it. The pool does need to be cleaned more often. There were TONS of bugs in the pool that even after requesting be cleaned, I had to go in the next day and spend over an hour cleaning them all out. Additionally, the house had a musty smell. In the future, that should be addressed by either airing the home out or addressing the underlying cause.

Uncomfortable

Photos do not reflect the current condition of the property. Strange older men come and wonder the property from early morning until evening. There are not trees like the photo shows, but instead a pole barn that seems to be the hangout. Men standing around watching, making it unsettling for us to relax and have privacy to sun bathe or let our children play. Even when they were told that we were uncomfortable after the second time they approached and honked the horn at us, they continued to hang around the property from early morning until evening. We felt rushed and left earlier than we had planned. The pool is not heated and no cover, meaning it’s filled with bugs and debris and ice cold. The home was not cleaned well, the grill was covered in cheese and meat and the propane tank was left on when we arrived. We thankfully brought all of our own sheets and towels since it’s still a risk of spreading Covid-19. At 4 grand for a week I would not recommend unless you like being intimated and feeling unsafe.

Excellent covid getaway

We wanted somewhere far away from anywhere, with a pool. This house was fantastic. We spent a month, worked using the high speed internet and relaxed outside. We will be back.

Wonderful vacation

Had a great time with my family at the Grove! Kids spent most of the time swimming in the pool and enjoyed the house itself during the brief periods of rain. Took us a few tries to figure out how the diverter works in the upstairs bathroom (hint - you have to pull down at the tip of the faucet!) but otherwise all good! Property is expansive and beautiful. We saw deer grazing almost every day!! Cindy and Ralph were both awesome to communicate with! Ralph went out of his way to come help when we accidentally locked ourselves out. All in all, we had a great time and would love to come back in the future.

Great PA vacation

Our family of 7 had a great time at this property. The house was very clean, had everything that we could need and was tucked back in the woods at the end of a very long drive. Very private and peaceful. The kids loved having their own pool and having 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms was perfect for our family. Despite the listing, this property does offer linens. Each room has a tote of towels, washcloths, and bed linens. I actually very much appreciated it being done this way because I was confident that the linens were clean when I was able to make the beds myself. The location was perfect!!We spent a day at Chocolate World and Hershey Gardens. We visited the AACA Auto Museum and saw the world's largest stone railroad bridge. I would highly recommend going right down the street to Waterfront Bar & grill for a great deck view of the Susquehanna River. My only complaint would be that the paddle boats weren't available when we were there and my kids had really been looking forward to that. Other than that everything was perfect. Thanks so much for sharing this great property with us!
