A group of friends spent the weekend here. The place is awesome! Pam provides everything you need for a comfortable stay. The property is beautiful with so many extra amenities including kayaks, life jackets, tubes and a wagon full of firewood for the fire pit. There was plenty of space and comfortable beds for everyone. Pam is also very responsive and a great host. Great experience. Highly recommend this property!

Wonderful week!

We stayed for a full week with the full house of 11. The bedrooms were a little tight with 3 kiddos in sleeping bags on the floor, but everyone had space. Pam was very helpful! When we had an issue with one of the air conditioners, it was fixed within 24 hours. The dining room was the real star. Lots of room to eat, draw, and play cards. Wonderful floats and kayaks for the river. Pam really thought of everything we needed for the house, including condiments, toiletries, and pots & pans. We had a wonderful week!

Quiet Sanctuary

A slice of the simple life, tucked away in a quiet pocket on the Northern outskirts of Harrisburg. You get to enjoy a lofty cabin sitting on the quiet shores of the Susquehanna. Tons of amenities provided. This is definitely one of the better spots to visit. Owner/host was attentive to the minor issues and quickly addressed them.

Perfect Weekend

I have stayed in many vacation rentals and I can honestly say this is the FIRST time I felt that the rental cost was worth it! I typically feel rentals are overpriced and do not match the quality of the rental...this was NOT the case here! Such a high quality property, description matched perfectly what we found, everything was so clean and organized, there was not one thing we needed that wasn't provided. Pam has thought of EVERYTHING. Don't let the loft sleeping arrangements scare you off, we had 6 teens utilize the loft are and it was absolutely perfect for them. The location was quiet, beautiful, calming, and private. The only thing that could have been better was the weather LOL. Absolutely beautiful rental, we had a wonderful time and I would highly recommend.
