Perfect Family House

This was our second year in a row staying at the Nest on the Run. It's the prefect house for our family, plenty of room to be together inside and out. The house is immaculate and very well kept. The location is perfect for a visit to Hershey Park and also to Lancaster. Everyone in the family loves the house and the surrounding area, we will be back.

Another fantastic stay at Nest on the Run

This is our third time staying at this property. My family and I love it! The owners are always reachable and respond immediately to any issues or questions. The property is immaculately clean and very well kept up and maintained. We appreciate all the little extras provided. We especially like that each bedroom has a private bathroom. There is plenty of room in the house for 8 adults and a few grandkids. It's close to Hershey Park and Lancaster so there's plenty to do in the area. We always give this property high marks in every category.

Wedding weekend

We stayed here with our daughter and her bridesmaids. The house was perfect! The outdoor space was amazing with plenty of seating, great fire pit and hot tub. The inside was immaculate with high quality kitchen, bathrooms, linens and mattresses. It was perfect! Might be the nicest rental property we’ve ever rented! Would highly recommend!

Lefever wedding weekend

We had a wonderful time in this amazing property! Literally used every square inch of it! We were so pleased to find it speaking clean, more spacious than the photos depicted and exactly as described. We had plenty of parking space for loading and unloading wedding needs throughout the stay..as well as perfect spots inside to store things. This is a beautiful home and we hope to visit again.

Total Perfection

I consistently use VRBO & BNB.. This home was perfect down to every last detail. The only downside is no one wanted to leave!! This house just snuggled the entire group. Perfect if you just want to be together and have every need at your finger tip provided. Can't wait to return.

Great Get Away

Our family, 11 of us on this trip, came to PA for the Green Day Concert. Well the concert was cancelled last minute but the upside is this house that we stayed at. It was absolutely perfect and the whole family enjoyed it. Although we didn't get to go to the concert, which was the sole reason for the trip, the outdoor space of this house was so beautiful and well equipped. We spent both nights sitting and talking by the firepit and in the hot tub. We made lasting memories in this beautiful home. It was cozy for all, and the owners thought of everything!! Don't know how long it will take to coordinate the schedules of 11 people again, but just the family being together in this lovely home, was worth the trip for sure!

Perfect in Every Way!

I booked Nest on the Run for our women's tennis team--we had a tournament in the Lancaster area--and it was perfect! Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for the nine of us (including one person with limited mobility), a fully-equipped kitchen, laundry, and beautiful outdoor spots (dinner table, grill, fire pit, and hot tub, which was our favorite). The place was extremely clean, the towels and bed linens were exceptional, and our host was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The house was recently renovated and everything is lovely--there are thoughtful touches everywhere like built-in night lights, lots of hooks for clothes and towels, easy HVAC controls. Don't hesitate.. this is a real find!
