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.

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!
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.
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.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
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.
One quick night stay in order to move kids out of the dorm (Messiah) and back home for the summer. Great property - comfortable and clean. This was our second stay here and likely won't be our last.
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.
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.
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.
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.
