Downtown Harrisburg Water Front Home - Close to Hersheypark & Farm Show Complex

It was a good experience. The neighborhood was quiet and it was very close to I-83.

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.

Beautifully situated on the Susquehanna River this house has everything that we needed The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of room. We were very impressed with the response time from the owners when we had a question.. If you're looking for a place in Harrisburg, I would recommend this home.

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.

The host seem welcoming

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.

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.

Please do your due diligence if you have issues with bad smell and dirty old carpets do not book this property! Also bedroom 2 has a tiny full bed it is not QUEEN by any size or angle.

The home was neat and clean with everything we needed. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Our family enjoyed being able to sit together for meals and visiting as there was enough space for everyone. The back patio was greatvfor sitting out in the evenings.

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.

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

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.

carpet aweful, located by homeless living on street, not made for elderly or kids stairs are steep. closet doors off against wall. owner ask you not to wear shoes but carpet was disgusting. doors to bedrooms do not close. light switch in second floor bath has a short in it hard to get light on and off. back door not coded for entry so we had to walk around to front to get in. no bath on first floor. dirt on flooring on first floor may want to sweep under tv and ottoman. furniture is old and worn.
