Hershey August 2024

Our stay was excellent. The grandkids loved the pool and the ping pong table. We spent our evenings making smores and hanging out in the spacious gazebo. There was plenty of room for us to enjoy one another's company. Even though the temperatures didn't reach beyond 78 degrees, the kids enjoyed the beautiful, clean pool.

Spacious home with lots of amenities

Large house with a lot of rooms, lovely outside area with a pool and large yard. Check in was easy and hosts responsed right away . Our kids appreciated the ping pong table and large yard. One thing to note is that If you're a light sleeper the house is close to a busy road. Other than that this house is a great location if you are heading to Hershey Park.

Great place

We came in for a concert and this was a great place to relax before and after the concert. My son and his friends really enjoyed the pool. Listing was very accurate. Will definitely stay here again if in the area. For the same price of 2 hotel rooms, we were very comfortable and had great amenities.

Close to Hershey Park

This was a perfect home to stay in if you are attending an event at the park. We enjoyed the pool, ping pong and billiard tables. House had everything you could need. We enjoyed our stay.

A Truly Sweet Experience

We stayed with our friends and their family and it was an amazing experience! 15 minutes from HersheyPark, Chocolate World, and the Hershey Museum, this is an excellent spot for a large group of people to be able to spend time together. Mark and Carole were incredible hosts, making sure we had everything we needed (and even saving a tablet we left behind) and being very responsive for questions. I would absolutely recommend this home for anyone with a large group and/or small kids.

Great Stay Right Outside Hershey!

This is our 3rd time renting the Palmyra house and it certainly did not disappoint! The house is spotless with a beautiful backyard and built in pool. You are 10 minutes from all of the Hershey attractions. Carole couldn’t have been a better host leaving us fresh flowers and sweet Hershey snacks upon check in and answering all of our questions. I would highly recommend this rental and plan to rent again in the future!

Love this house!!!

This is our third or fourth time staying here. It is perfect for our big family, the pool is awesome, the pingpong and pool tables are key for teens too. Carole is so sweet and ready to help with whatever is needed. We will definitely try staying here again when we visit.

Excellent Stay!

We are a family of 8 (6 adults and a 2 and 4 year old). We had such a wonderful stay! This home has every comfort you would want or need. Walk in and drop your bags and you feel like you’re home! The house is soooo spacious and very clean. The beds are very comfortable for a great nights sleep. The kitchen is really well stocked with appliances, dinner ware , etc. You can’t go wrong choosing this home for your stay. I just wish it were summer and we had the opportunity to utilize the pool and the rest of the large yard. The host, Carole, is wonderful. She’s thoughtful and great to talk to! Thanks for everything, Carole.

Amazing Stay!

This place was just perfect for our family. The bedrooms are very spacious. We were a family of four adults and two children, and had more than enough room to spread out. The inside of the house is well appointed with anything and everything you might need! In my past experiences at a VRBO, they provided some things but not everything that we needed. This house had paper goods, cleaning products, bath products, again anything you might need! The home is well-kept, and it was very very clean. The pool was just beautiful, it was just a little too cool for us to spend any real time in it. However, we did enjoy the outside fire pit and the kids loved playing on the little swingset And they loved playing in the gazebo and kept calling at the Playhouse. Both the inside and outside of the house are very well-maintained. it is a busy corner, however, the backyard is completely fenced in and the house is well insulated. We were not bothered by any traffic noises. Our hosts were very responsive to any questions or needs we had! Cannot say enough about the quick responses we got even for some very trivial questions. I absolutely would not hesitate to recommend or stay at this property again.

House is exactly what it looks like!

Myself, wife, and 3 children (9, 7, & 3) stayed at the house for a vacation and had a great time. The house very quickly felt like home and had everything we needed. The house is very close to hershey park and had everything we needed very near by (grocery, convenient, and other stores). If we had to make the decision on a place to stay to enjoy the hershey area all over again we would choose the house all over again. Thanks for the memories!

Relaxing getaway

Pros: Good location to Hersheypark. Inground Pool. Pool toys. Gazebo with fire table was a big hit. Swingset. Outdoor seating. Large yard. Ping pong. Pool table. Plenty of indoor seating and beds. Extra trash bags, hand soaps at every sink, laundry soap and ziploc bags/Saran/foil were helpful. Cons: Only two knives, no steak knives. Pool water was getting dirty. High grass blocks view of kids playing in yard. Too much extra soaps/products/condiments in pantry/shelves/refrigerator. Need new measuring cups. All are personal preference and easy fixes. Wasn’t worth the trouble to bother the hosts for our short trip. Carole responded quickly to text. Overall great stay for our family! Kids had fun! Thank you!

Great location, Great Property, Great Eateries, 10 min to Hershey, 30 min to Harrisburg, Home is Spotless and well stocked, met owners upon arrival great folks. Why pay to stay in Hershey Lodge when you can have private home with pool, A/c and can sleep 10 adults. Lighting inside can be better maybe brighter bulbs. This is a great home.

Perfect Pre Softball Getaway Spot

We booked this house for a small gateway before we started a long softball tournament weekend in Hershey. The backyard was the most amazing relaxing fun filled place. The teenagers lived in the pool, us moms floated on our rafts reading our books for hours, and we enjoyed dinners out on the patio. Highly recommend this house!! They also had a ping pong table that was used a decent amount by the teenage girls and dads. The owners were so easy to communicate with and our short stay was exactly what both families needed.

About the host

Hosted by Mark and Carole Watson

We are houseparents at Milton Hershey School and live with our elementary kids on campus most of the time. We love entertaining, so even though we won't be staying in our home when you are, we will be glad to try to make sure your stay is really pleasant!

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of the big back yard for playing in. There is a 20 x 40 ft. in ground pool to enjoy. There is a play set for younger kids :) We love sitting in the swing in the gazebo visiting with family and friends. There is a large deck and a lot of comfortable seating. The deck has afternoon shade and with the outdoor grill it is a fun place to share a meal.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy our home because if has a cozy family room with a gas fireplace. The downstairs area can easily have groups playing games or talking in different areas so everyone can do what they like. There is a ping pong table in the sun room and a pool table in the basement. So much to do! We like the 4 bedrooms so that there is plenty of sleeping space. We think it is an attractive place to come and relax.
