About this property

Working Horse Ranch With Indoor Pool!!

This beautiful log and stone luxury home is surrounded by Pennsylvania farmland along with a back drop of blue mountains which provides a feeling of complete seclusion. Upon arriving to the farm, immediately seeing and hearing the soft sounds of the horses in the fields adds to a consuming feeling of peace and serenity.

Located in the heart of Central PA there are almost too many attractions to list from wineries, restaurants, outlets for shopping, HersheyPark and all its wonder to the vast covering Amish Country and all it provides. You may just choose to stay at the property and have a total equine experience, as well. Whatever your taste, this is a "must see" experience for anyone.

This home has various outstanding features to offer its guests starting with 3 bedrooms and a loft area to sleep, 3 baths and two living/family room areas. This home appeals to all levels of activity from playing basketball inside the half court sized garage, letting loose in multiple ways in the game room, swimming in the indoor pool, relaxing with a good book in the loft area to roasting marshmallows outside at the fire pit.

Skirted with porches and patios overlooking acres of beautiful pastures that encase a full working not for profit horse program and rescue facility. This spectacular home will appeal to all ages and groups, as well as being the perfect fit for extended family vacations, reunions or any size event occasion.

No matter how you are filling your time, whether its with many outside activities, a full equine experience or just planning a quiet get-a-way, this vacation home has it all!!

Celebration of life for my husband Patrick

This was our 3rd time renting the ranch house. My husband discovered this amazing place for his Aunt in 2017, who is now battling Alzheimer’s that loved and adored horses. The Farmhouse is a middle location to our family in PA, VA and MD. My husband passed just recently to cancer and it was his 56 birthday and as a family we decided to come together to celebrate at the farm house he loved. We have great memories dear to all of us at your farm house. Thank youThe only thing that was alerting was that one of the garage doors was backed into with damages prior to our arrival which I was able to reach out to the owner of the home. I sent pictures to the owner but wished we were informed. We did find out that she wasn’t informed either so I was very upset for her as a homeowner who also rent a beachhouse property

GETAWAY

Rustic and homey overall. Loved the fall decor, location and the scenery (horses in pastures was great). Loft sleeping area needed more care- dead bugs on wall , sheets stained, and trash on floor.

Beautiful, Fun House and Property

The house was amazing. My kids loved the pool and basketball court in the garage. As soon as we walked in my 11 year old said he wanted to go back next year. Having the horses right outside made it extra special. 20 mins drive to Hershey. So much better going back to that house after a day of fun than to a hotel.

Birthday trip from hell

Issues started the instant we arrived! Ice by garage, stairs to door not cleared properly. No access to the handrail causing me to fall and injure my ribs. No working fireplace as advertised. The pool area has mold growing on the walls. The pool was too cold to use! The sink and shower water smelled like rotten eggs and skunk. Worst was the white stains and dirty sock I found when going to bed in the master bedroom . We only stayed one night instead of four. I am now dealing with VRBO to get a refund for the three days we did not stay. I have gottenno responsefromthehost since the morningwe left. This house was in terribleconditionand we were mislead by there misrepresentation. . The pool was too cold to use. The water smell

Great place with great surroundings

I would absolutely stay here again. Came with a group of 10 guys and we had a great time! The only thing that needs to be worked is VRBO’s descriptions of the bedrooms and what is in them. Because of this not everyone had their own bed as expected but we made it work! The owner was super responsive to every question and didn’t have any delay those responses! Thank you for a great time!

Ok

We had fun, horses were cool, basketball court great (bring your own ball), game room was a hit, plenty of space. We only stayed two days so it was fine but for the price, pretty disappointed in what we got. Surfaces and in between stay cleaning seemed to be done. Clean towels, sheets and extra blankets. The house desperately needs a deep clean though, they need to pull out old stained carpet, wipe down walls or paint. Showers were stained from the water and when I say stained, I am talking brown almostBlack anywhere water drips. Speaking of water it smelled horrible (old rotten eggs) we are familiar with this happening with well water but no one enjoyed showering or brushing their teeth with that smell. We couldn’t get the basement shower to a reasonable temperature and hardly any pressure so we used a different shower but again… the smell.The basement carpet smelled like animal urine. Most of the tiles in the basement ceiling were water stained. The kids enjoyed the futons but they were all sitting on floor cause it appears the legs were removed or broken. Pool walls were covered in mold, pool was very very cloudy… couldn’t see the bottom of the pool.The kids still swam though. They did provide towels.The smoke alarm was chirping when we arrived, received a response apologizing from the property manager but no offer to come take care of it. As others said the deck is in bad shape… was prepared for that based on other reviews.Overall, I would never go back.
