Harrisburg, Pennsylvania
This is your opportunity to stay at a very special property which is only minutes from the delights of Hershey (25 minutes), the history of Gettysburg (40 minutes)/Harrisburg (15 minutes), and Lancaster (50 minutes), or the summer or winter fun of Ski Round Top (15 minutes).
The “Wright Retreat” is a home that was designed in 1963 by a student of Frank Lloyd Wright. The home is set on a beautiful 7 acre wooded lot at the end of a quarter mile long driveway. Relax on the large 2-level back patio, overlooking the treed acreage and pool, and enjoy only the sounds and sights of the wide variety of birds (including hawks and eagles), deer and an occasional fox, or, host an event (wedding, retreat) for family and friends.
The unique aspects of this one level, 4,200 square foot home include a large corner fireplace in the living room (one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s signature features), a smaller fireplace in the master bedroom suite and a wood burning stove in the family room; built-in couches and bookshelves in the large open living room and in the family room, adjacent to the kitchen; built in desks, planters and dressers abound throughout the home; and skylights in the kitchen and master bathroom enhance the warm of the home. A second large family room/library with a large screen TV and leather furniture is a short distance away from the kitchen area. This home contains over 125 different windows, making Frank Lloyd Wright’s vision of bringing nature into your living environment, a reality.
Whether you want to escape from your hectic life, take advantage of the many activities in the surrounding area, or host an event, do it in the “Wright Retreat”!

The house is amazing . So many cool features and interesting layout. The pool was fantastic! We swam everyday. Would highly recommend
Family get together close to local activities and back in evening and enjoyed playing in the pool.
The 'Wright' Retreat was clean, well stocked, and very private. It is close to various Harrisburg/Hershey/Gettysburg attractions but the in-ground pool was a bigger hit with the kids. We spent a couple of days just enjoying the pool. Michael was easy to work with and responsive to all messages and inquiries.
Absolutely relaxing environment! All you need to bring is your swim suit and personal care, everything else is provided even towels for the pool. The kitchen is overly supplied with all equipment. A very lovely getaway. Thanks Micheal for everything....
Overall the property is as listed. It has a lot of the owner’s belongings in it and it is clear that this place was lived in for a long time. As a result, the house is a bit tired in places. It had a few bulbs out here and there, and had a smell of mothballs along the main corridor but nothing major. For a family getaway, it’s perfect. Great pool (with box of toys/floats) and outdoor area surrounded by peaceful woods, and a firepit. Inside, the kitchen is well-equipped and there are 3 communal rooms. Lots of old games in the cupboards and books galore. Great bedroom for kids, with an ace bunkbed. Showers (wetrooms) are amazing. Great laundry facilities and 2 x fridges so perfect to stock up. Shops very nearby ranging from groceries to Starbucks to CVS. Farm shops are a must - Paulus has great outdoor area for kids, with animals, play place and sand pit. In sum, really nice spot. Perhaps could do with a once over to make it 5 stars and also worth refreshing the listing photos to show off everything. Nevertheless, great spot and we really enjoyed our stay
We were looking for a dog-friendly house with a pool to disconnect for a few days and this definitely fit the bill. It's a unique layout and the 6 of us had plenty of room to spread out. The host was very responsive whenever we needed to contact him. I love to cook and the house had a surprisingly well-stocked kitchen - even though the area is secluded there is a Giant 5 minutes down the road so it was easy enough to pop out for groceries and supplies. The only improvement I can think of is the house could use a deep clean at the end of the season. Totally get it's an older property (we live in one too!) but there were a lot of cobwebs in corners and the windows could use a wipe down.
Heavy rain EVERY day. Everything was great except the weather.
The home provided the privacy we we looking for, was clean, and stocked with all you need. The property was like stepping into a time capsule and is an amazing stay lovers of design.
Very unique home that seems frozen in time. A bit old and quirky but excellent space, fully equipped, beautiful setting, and great property management
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving reunion with family at this house and enjoyed getting to see Frank Lloyd Wright-esque architecture from the inside. Michael, the property manager, was very responsive to our questions and to our needs.
