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.

Golf Weekend

My adult sons and a neighborhood friend of theirs stayed with me here. We golfed at Armitage, only 5 minutes away. And also at Royal Manchester within 30 minutes. Enjoyed dining nearby at Pizza Boy, Dukes Riverside and the Watershed Pub. One of my sons caught a big bass in the creek behind the house. Perfect weekend.

The home was so cute, clean and conveniently located. It was well stocked and the owners thought of everything to make it a home away from home. The driveway was a little challenging but it was a great place. Highly recommend!

Great place to be after a trade show.

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.

Perfect spot for day trips near Hershey

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.

Cottage on Conodoguinet Creek

My family had the pleasure to stay at this quaint cottage on the creek in Hamden County. The house was immaculate and included 2 coffee makers and Kureig coffee pods to boot! The bedrooms were comfortable with all linens included. There was a washer and dryer which we did not need to use for our visit. The appliances were modern and up to date. The cottage is pet friendly with throws to cover the furniture. There was pet bowls, shampoo, and even a pooper scooper. The creek was about 100-150ft from the cottage. My grandson was endlessly entertained by the crawfish he would catch. The creek was a bit low during our visit so fishing was not very good. We were able to walk out to the center and the water was over the knee. We had a relaxing time. A small dead tree fell onto the property and the owner was there by dinner time to cut it into firewood. Lynne was very nice and couldn’t be more accommodating. Look forward to coming back in the near future
