Just as described and Nichelle was a very communicative host. The home was decorated for the holidays and we did not have to do anything before we left, just made up the beds and she took care of the rest. Very personal experience and will stay again in the future.
Given it's proximity to Hershey and Hershey park, this is a perfect spot to bring kids to to visit the park. As older retired folks we just loved how whimsical everything was - and very welcoming. Each room is "themed" (but not overly so) like the Alice in Wonderland kitchen, the Super Hero room with twin beds, the Star Wars bathroom upstairs and the Oakland Raiders bathroom downstairs. We loved all of the decorating, especially the "Diva Room" (Master bedroom). There is a great fenced in side yard where our dog had a blast sniffing everything new to him. It was quiet and comfortable and we will definitely be going back! Thanks Nichelle!
The house was wonderful and as described. We were close to Hershey Park and downtown. There are several local restaurants that are great.
We loved the themed rooms as well as the fenced in yard for the dog. The communication was great we had everything we needed well before arrival. Overall everything was great and we look forward to booking it again when we are in the area.
We had such a great experience staying at Home Sweet Huntingdon Hill! The home was clean, well stocked with anything you might need, and it is nicely decorated with fun themes in each room. Hersheypark and downtown Harrisburg are a short drive away and there are tons of stores nearby. Our host, Nichelle, was very friendly and easy to communicate with. It was perfect for our family vacation.
We really loved the welcoming atmosphere of the place. The family room space was nicely decorated and comfortable. The kitchen was lovely and plenty there to allow you to cook. The laundry is an added bonus! Upstairs is very cozy- each room has plenty of space. Thanks so much for the hospitality!
This charming and cozy home is perfect for a small family. Located only 15 mins for Hershey Park and many other attractions. Located minutes from a small shopping mall (Walmart, CVS, Pizza Etc). And only two blocks away from a neighborhood bar for the Dads of the group. Would definitely stay here again. Scott Parker
I cannot stress enough how PERFECT our stay was here with Nichelle. The location was exactly what we needed, a few minutes away from Hershey Park but it ended but being a wonderful property that we all enjoyed. The decor is stunning for Disney lovers, it's cozy and yet there is space for everyone to spread out. We enjoyed eating in and being able to cook there. EVERY amenity is here! Nichelle was the best host, she has thought of every detail. Don't pass this place up! If you are a family of 4 and ready to take on Hershey Park, this is your place!
Our stay at Huntington Hill was amazing! We used the word “perfect” many times as we reflected on our stay. The owners responded very quickly to a question we had over the weekend, everything was very clean! We even appreciated all of the Christmas decor that we as up. The location was perfect for both Hershey, Harrisburg, and West Shore activities!! To top it all off, we left a couple items and the the owners are shipping it to us this week. We would definitely stay here again!! Thank you!!
We had such a nice time at Huntingdon House. Every room was immaculate. The dishwasher, washer and dryer, complete with soap, made our trip really easeful. We had everything we needed, and all the appliances and tech were easy to use. Off street parking was a dream. The neighborhood was quiet and welcoming. All of the decor was nice, and Nichelle even added some sweet fall decorations for us. There wasn’t any clutter, which we appreciated, traveling with a 3 year old. Gorgeous soaking tub! Overall I just can’t say enough about how neat, clean, and relaxing the house is. Nichelle responded almost immediately to our few questions and we could tell she really cared that we had a nice time. One of the better rentals we have had. A++
Ideal location to see all that southeastern PA has to offer!
We truly enjoyed the convenient location - a short drive to Hershey or Harrisburg & only a 50min drive to Lancaster/Ronks (aka Amish Country)! The home was nestled in a quiet neighborhood (with friendly neighbors & children who actively play on the side streets with one another) right behind a super cool train yard (don’t worry you never hear any trains) & close to a Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Aldi, Giant Grocery Store, Starbucks & super close to The Wharf (great adult beverages) and down the road from Italian Pizza and Subs (delicious pizza that has been in business for 50 years).
Our small dog really enjoyed the side yard for his potty breaks so we were thankful for a quaint place for him to do his business!
As you can tell from the images - this is a historic two-story Pennsylvania home. We stayed June 2024 so at the time of writing this, each room had a theme to it - downstairs was the living room (flower and yellow), kitchen (Alice in Wonderland), Laundry Room (Bee and Yellow), & the Full Bath (Raiders). Going upstairs there was the hallway (Lord of the Rings), Bedroom with Twin Beds (Superhero), Full bathroom (Star Wars), and down the hall the master bedroom (Sliver Glam). The themes provided a charm that we had not experienced at other properties we have visited in the past - very unique! Since this property is older, we did notice an immediate smell of moth balls upon entering the home so I think that is our only slight, otherwise we enjoyed staying here!
We really enjoyed our stay! The house was clean and nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable. I was a little concerned about the area rug in the living room; we kept tripping on it because it didn’t lay flat. Overall great place which we hope to come back to!
