Creek side cottage with awesome porch and fire pit
Creek cottage on Conodoguinet Creek a class 1 stream on the International Whitewater Rating system with private access for kayaks, tubes and canoe - bring your own or rent from us. Convenient to everything but private. Hershey and Carlisle are an easy 20 minute drive. House is located on creek with a septic system so we use environmental safe products and ask guests to conserve water while showering. We have organic apple, peach and pears on the property for guests to enjoy in season. We allow pets with additional fee. The house sits on a Good Hope Road which is a busy route connecting Carlisle Pike and 81. The house is 5 minutes to grocery, drug store, movie theatre, and all major food choices. Creek living with all amenities so convenient does mean you will hear cars passing by when outside. We don’t allow parties and ask that when outside to respect neighbors. Fire pit is available and you can bring your own wood. Fishing is permitted in creek under PA Game and Fish guidelines. Canoe, kayaks and tubes available to rent. For guests staying 5 days they are free to use once liability waiver is signed. The access for pulling trailers is limited to small trailers entering from the carlisle pike road. If question please call.

This was our second stay at this location. We found the property as listed. It was homey and welcoming. We found the owner to be very communicative and friendly. Would highly recommend.
We had a great trip! The house was perfect for our family to celebrate the holiday. The home had everything we needed and we are excited to come back in the future.
We exhibit in the GAOS trade show. This place was perfect to come back to, stretch out, and relax. We are foodies and the kitchen was pretty well stocked. A few more pots/pans/baking dishes would be nice but not necessary to cook. Then furniture was comfortable and well kept. The bedding was plush and very nice. Lots of room and a great experience. Lynne was responsive to all communication and even had someone to scrape and salt the drive after some snow fall. Top shelf all the way.
We had a sporting clay weekend and the location was perfect. We enjoyed the firepit and the river views. We would be interested in doing it again next year.
Very nice house. Drive way is steep so just take your time. Owner very responsive to questions.

We thought this would be a great place to stay during our visit in PA. This property exceeded our expectations. When we had questions, the owner was very responsive to us.
Very nice well equiped cabin style house with excellent access to the conaguena creek, close to everything near Mechanicsburg. Nice fire pit with Adirondack chairs. We liked the lounge chairs overlooking the creek.
Such a beautiful property, we had a wonderful visit, my family and 2 small dogs. Super cozy and such a warm welcoming place. Cant wait to come back! So many good things here.
Gorgeous little slice of property on the creek. Perfect spot for relaxing in the am with coffee or wine in the pm. Saw deer, ground hogs, egrets and blue herons. Will be back.
Very clean and well equipped house.
I got the place for 3 "older" buddies to go enjoy Green Day at Hershey Stadium. They canceled but we still had fun with hiking, Hershey chocolate tours, car museum, nearby movies and a comedy club. The house was perfect for what we needed - we slept, showered, cooked breakfast and hung out on the porch in the late evening. Beds/pillows were very comfortable and the shower had good pressure. Overall great value for the price.
Stayed at the property over night after a concert at hershey stadium. Place was clean and comfortable. Screened in porch went well with a cup of coffee. No complaints.
This is a beautiful property. I went with my three small kids and we spent most of our time enjoying the creek, where we waded around and went tubing. We also had the pleasure of seeing great blue heron, snowy egrets , and an osprey. The home is spacious and very well maintained with all of the amenities you need. Lynne, the host, was very responsive. It was a very relaxing get away, which was exactly what we needed
Everything was excellent. Thank s for a great stay.

Why they chose this property
This property was an original creek home from the 60's that was recently renovated! The house is cozy and comfortable but retains its cottage feel. The property has a wonderful 120 foot creek access and the porch offers a wonderful view of the creek and sunset. Waterfowl and birds love the property. We have bird houses and fruit trees on property and our guests are welcome to grab a apple, peach or pear in season! We plan to add raspberries and blue berries in the spring!
What makes this property unique
Creek front access to launch canoe, kayak or tube. Fishing is also a favorite of the area. The house is 3-5 minutes to anything you will need! The property is on the Conodoguinet Creek which is a Class 1 stream on the International Rating System. A class 1 stream is characterized by easy moving water with a few riffles and small waves suitable for a beginner. But you must be aware of the level of the creek. The house is raised above the flood level and the water has not reached the parking area in over 20 years.
