The host answered all questions in a timely manner. All amenities were a welcome addition to our stay. The home was also located fairly close to all the places we wanted to go and visit. The games provided helped me to entertain my 2 teenage granddaughters when all myself and my husband wanted to do was relax.

Cleanliness of home wasn't up to par, based on the presentation as advertised. Bacon strip on dining room floor, patch in rug, discoloration or scum surrounding bottom of shower, items left on floor, towels were old and used out, rooms were dim and there was a ceiling light that one bulb in it, windows were extremely dirty with cob webs and dirt around the edges, railing going up stairwell was coming out the wall, patio area wasn't cleaned, garage was dirty, we were actually making a list on cleaning items we would need to purchase, but decided, that we shouldn't have to do that so we made a reservation to stay at an area hotel. Communication with host could've been better and more concise. Texting with them wasn't much response to what we wanted to happen, but when we wanted to negotiate a refund they didn't respond until a full refund was requested.

My family & I were in Harrisburg for a livestock show at the Farm Show building. Bonnie was a great host being very understanding & very responsive. The very first night we had trouble finding the house in the dark. Bonnie answered our call even though it was late at night & got us to the right place. The second day the batteries died in the keyless entry & she once again answered our late night call & got it taken care of. The property itself was great & fit our needs perfectly.

Old and run down. House needs lots of attention. Fairly clean, but very worn out. Biggest issue was heating. Thermostat located on first floor so setting it high enough to be comfortable made other two floors unbearably hot. Setting it to make upper floors comfortable resulted in first floor being too cold to watch tv, utilize kitchen, etc. Very steep stairs to both 2nd and 3rd floors. Mouse poop found in small, 2nd floor bed. Yes, the bed. Description and pictures very misleading. Adequate accommodations, but would not stay again.

Perfect location, owner strives to make your stay perfect!
We stayed at this river front home with our three children for a long weekend and had a great time. The location is wonderful and the home was very clean. The owner was great with communications, checked in to make sure everything was okay, gave us hints and tips for the area, and was super speedy in helping us when we mistakenly locked ourselves out. We didn't cook, choosing to eat at the wonderful eateries in the area, but the home looked well stocked with everything you would need. We look forward to returning.

Great, quiet location!
A friend and I stayed in this adorable, three story row home over a long weekend with our teenage daughters. It was close to downtown Harrisburg, where we attending a dance competition at The Forum. The home was clean and comfortable and has a great back patio to relax and have a glass of wine or cup of coffee. The owner made sure we had everything we needed and checked on us often (via text). It is right along the scenic river that has walking/running paths and close to Hershey Park (only 25 minutes away). I would definitely stay here again!!

My family and I spent a week in Harrisburg for a family wedding. Upon our arrival, we were very pleased with this wonderful townhouse. It was very clean and neat. The beds were super comfortable and the linens/towels plentiful. The kitchen was well-stocked. The owner was very attentive, reaching out to ensure everything met our needs. The townhouse is located along the Susquehanna River and we took advantage of the riverfront where many people enjoy the walking/running path. An added bonus was the beautiful sunsets!

To start, we booked our trip the night before we planned to stay and the owner responded and approved the request within an hour or two! He was very helpful and you can tell he Genuinely cares about the place! Everything was very clean and neat when we arrived. There was plenty of towels, linen, and sleeping space for our big family, not to mention the place is right on the water. There was also plenty of cookware and utensils for use. I can't speak much on the area around because we were using it as a place to stay between to traveling to DC and New York but it all looked very nice. I would for sure recommend these place to anyone!

Water Front
The house was very nice, there was plenty of room for everyone. We had a issue with the back lock which was taken care of right away. It was 100 degrees out the air worked very well in keeping us cool. The house is close to down town with very nice view of the river, It is also connected to other houses which was hard keeping the kids quiet something we are not use to, but the neighbors were great my husband helped get a baby skunk off the porch next door. Would definitely rent again if we were in the area.

Convenient & Accomodating
This house was a perfect location for our two families from Raleigh NC and Boston MA to meet in the middle and take our kids to Hershey PA! The house had plenty of space for our four kids to enjoy and play. It's very convenient to walk to downtown and walk to the City island with parks and mini putt. We loved the trails that are located just across the street from the house along the river!! It's also very convenient to the highway to get places and a short drive to Hershey Park!
The parking is a little tight at the house, but definitely not a big issue. We didn't get much opportunity to enjoy the back patio and grill due to the weather (hot and rainy) but it's nice space to have.
I would certainly recommend this place and appreciate the owners sharing!

Perfect for business or pleasure.
We used the property for our stay while we worked the Great American Outdoor Show. It was perfect. The location was good and being able to have a place to have a quiet dinner where we could actually hear our clients was phenomenal. The kitchen was well stocked (with top shelf appliances, pots, pans, and other supplies) and it was a pleasure to be able to cook some comfort food after eating out for the previous month. There was even a gas grill in the back courtyard for grilling steaks and fish. The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The thick carpet was clean and felt good on bare feet. There were even plenty of hangers in the closets not just two or three like a lot of places. The washer and dryer worked and being able to do laundry at our leisure was very nice. The downstairs was well furnished and plenty comfortable. It was one long open space going from kitchen, to dining room, to living room. The garage was also welcomed as it kept our vehicle out of the snow and rain. The owners continually checked in on us wanting to make sure we had everything we need and that everything was ok. They were gracious and very accommodating. We would all feel perfectly comfortable recommending this rental to anyone visiting the Harrisburg area.

Neat Townhouse on the river
We stayed a week at this neat townhouse in Harrisburg during the Pennsylvania National Horse Show where our daughter was competing in the Pessoa/USEF Hunter Seat Medal Finals. It was super convenient to the show grounds just a few minutes away. We slept great on the comfy mattress and pillows. Plenty of new towels and the house was clean and well stocked. We used the herbs and grill on the patio along with the "party" lights one evening to entertain our trainer and several friends. They all enjoyed an evening away from the barn and hotels. The house faces the river and trees so the view is great and we walked over the foot bridge to City Island one evening. Lots of people walking and running along the sidewalk. Felt safe even though we were in a down town area. We traveled to Hershey about 30 minutes away and also the Amish area about an hour away. There is some traffic noise from I-83 that is noticeable at night. It was a steady rumble and was actually soothing, kind of like a train. I also used a white noise machine but it is mostly to block out my husbands snoring. A great house to stay in downtown Harrisburg! Will be back for another show and will stay here again. Host was great getting back with us and answering questions.

Proximity for visit suitable for the holidays
This rental is nice, yes. Near a good walking path. However, it is outdated, washer and dryer were wonky, house on a lean, the HVAC wouldnt regulate temp on all three floors and its a block away from Harrisburg's homeless village by PENDOT. HVAC was probably our biggest complaint. Outdated rentals are fine, but the 1st floor was cold, 2nd floor was warm but okay with windows open in dec, third too hot occupy. The stairs up to the 2nd and 3rd floor are quite steep, glad our only family with us was mobile enough to get up and down repeatedly. Wasn't a problem for us, though we took care when racing up and down. Most of the beds only had one pillow on them, including the king, in the photos the beds are made with several pillows. There were pillows in closets with no covers, so that was a bummer alternative. That said, the rental served its purpose as our homebase between bouncing through family's homes for the holiday. We were able to fit our car in the garage, but the garage is a manual pull and quite a tight fit. After reading other reviews I didn't want to end up with a ticket with purchase of a permit. We adjusted our trip a several weeks before staying and were able to adjust the dates. The property manager accommodated the changes. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking ware. The feeling I am left with is underwhelmed but not angry. The photos of this listing led me to believe this was a well kept rental and unfortunately in person was different.

Stephanie. We appreciate your honest feedback and review. We will use this to improve our operations. In terms of the house characteristics, it is an old rowhome as most are in our historic city of Harrisburg, PA. Narrow and steeper stairs are typical for homes of this era. However, it is functional, safe and clean. We've added a more powerful AC unit for the third floor. The HVAC is newer but the duct system is what it is. Thanks for staying and safe travels!

House on the river
We were in town for a wedding, so we added an extra day to explore Harrisburg. The house I chose is river front and at the end of a quiet street. The location could not have been any better, 2 miles from downtown, with a wonderful river view. We spent the day walking along the river and enjoying the nearby park, historical monuments and the local restaurants.
The house is older but quaint. The first level has been updated and is very nice. The 2nd and 3rd levels could use some TLC. The beds are comfortable but there are no nightstands, extra blankets, or pillows and the towels don’t match and are also old and worn. A night light here and there would also be nice. The carpet is old and worn. The windows are dirty and there is an old screen laying on the roof.
The kitchen is sparsely accommodated. There are no wine glasses and only 3 coffee mugs. I couldn’t find a bottle opener either. Finally, there is a major temperature difference between the 1st floor and the 2nd and 3rd. Very chilly downstairs and hot and stuffy upstairs.
The house was not very clean. We were greeting with 4 bags of trash in the garage and there were wet towels and sheets in the dryer. There were also several dead flys on the carpet in our bedroom and empty plastic bottles in the backyard.
Now I want to point out that all these things can be fixed. They were a minimal inconvenience and we enjoyed our stay very much! I would recommend this house as long as you can work around the imperfections

Conveniently located, lots of space
We really enjoyed our two night stay at this property.
Pros:
Lots and lots of space. Privacy for my kids, me, and my mom was great.
Kitchen was modern and clean. I would have a hard time making a full meal there due to lack of some tools, but for a few days it was excellent.
Location was superb. A short drive or 15-20 minute walk from downtown Harrisburg. Lots of places to eat and much to do in the area.
The townhouse was clean and tidy. The owner was responsive and helpful.
Cons:
It's location *right* under the highway made it hard for us to enjoy the patio or the river. It was really loud all the time outside. (Inside was quiet as long as the windows were closed.)
The third for doesn't have central AC - just a window unit. This would be fine if the third floor bedroom closed. However, because of the plush carpeting (which is beautiful and new!), that door won't close, so it was a bit warm in the upstairs bedroom. This would be a non issue in any other season.
The parking is a bit tight. The garage is out back, small and a bit difficult to navigate with a larger car. Just something to know - not a deal breaker.
The security deposit is a hefty one, and as of today it has still not been credited back to me, although I have been told it was requested. I feel pretty strongly that security deposit refunds should be credited within a week of check out. We checked out in the 25th, so it's been 11 days. This may be well within reason for some, but to me it's a long time, so I've included it here as a con.

Thanks Jamie for your feedback. Although we're disappointed with the four star rating, we understand everyone is entitled to their opinion and we will certainly take them into consideration for future improvements.
First, we did make most corrections to any material defects that you may have found. We are always looking to improve our guest experiences. Just keep in mind this home was built in the late 1800's as most homes in Harrisburg city were. We wanted to update the home but also keep it's historic charm. We are only 1 of about half dozen homes in that neighborhood to have a garage. I know it's a tight squeeze for a larger sedan but it's been done. If one is not used to the city, I can understand that it would be difficult.
Second, we are not right under the highway. Pretty close but there are lots of trees and buffer zones to help reduce the noise of everyday traffic. I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy the patio or river walk. This is city living and I've never had complaints about this. The location is why we had bought this place - easy access to highways, riverwalk, stores, shopping, etc.
In regards to the 3rd floor being warm, you do have the ability adjust the thermostat accordingly. It does have central air on the 3rd floor. The window unit was purchased when our AC lost freon this summer and the central air unit could not turn over the warm air on the 3rd floor.
Lastly, the security deposit was fully disclosed at the time of inquiry and booking. I'm sure you can understand the security deposit of $450 is nowhere close to covering any major damage to the place if a guest was irresponsible. It is a fully furnished house. The security deposit was refunded within a week of your departure from the HomeAway platform. Check the history notes I've posted there for you. I know HomeAway takes awhile to credit that back to you, which we cannot control. Thanks for staying at our home and all the best in your travels.

Gut: Sauberkeit
Verbesserungswürdig: Check-in
Property Needs A Lot Of TLC
Four of stayed 6 days in this house. Know up front this is an old house with very steep stairs. Those with bad joints beware because all bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs.
PROS
1. There is a nice view of the river and a walking trail. There are also a lot of random folks wandering around the neighborhood.
2. Overall the property was clean when we arrived and fairly well stocked. The kitchen and dining area were nice for making breakfast and then eating. There were no eating options anywhere close. We were unable to watch movies on the TV-maybe it was us or the system is not set up right.
3. Beds were fairly comfortable. Bathrooms are small with only showers. We used this house primarily as a base to travel in the area each day and then clean up and sleep at night. One-way streets in the area were tricky to navigate.
CONS
1. Check-in was a mess. The door code provided was wrong and we had to call for help. The code that finally opened the front door did not work on the back door. It took 4 days to get a back door code that worked. Not good.
2. Several doors will not shut, we had bees in the bedrooms for 2 days, no smoke detectors in the bedrooms (unsafe), and 2 bedrooms had no chairs (inconvenient). Bath light switch inoperable and other bath outlet was covered up and unusable.
4. Garage is very small-we squeezed in a midsize SUV but were barely able to open a door on one side of the car.
5. Carpet needs deep cleaning.
Overall 5/10. An old house that needs attention.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft
We love downtown because it's a unique neighborhood to play and relax. Riverfront is at your door steps and City Island and the "Walking Bridge" offers a very unique experience of the Susquehanna River.
Harrisburg is a hidden jewel in Pennsylvania due to its rich history, natural beauty and easy access to most major Mid-Atlantic metropolitan cities. It is the capital city of Pennsylvania with many historic buildings to visit. The Blue Ridge & Appalachian Mountains surround it with lots of hiking and biking trails. It is considered the hub of PA due to most major highways passing through or near it.
This house lies on the most southern part of historic Shipoke. It is known for its river front access, views and sunsets. You can easily walk or drive to all points. We had lived in the city for over 10 yrs and its a joy to visit or do business here.
Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig
You will be surprised by the natural beauty of the location. There are many bridges that span the Susquehanna River and it's right at your door steps. The serene back patio allows you to enjoy your morning coffee or walk to a bench on Riverfront Park to soak in the sunrise or sunsets. The house is fully furnished for your enjoyment.
