We loved this property. Close to everything! We were in town celebrating my daughter’s bday, who is a Messiah student. Our location to her and downtown was perfect. The property is quiet and lovely. We’ve already reserved it again!

Comfortable, beautiful and perfect location!
Had a wonderful stay! Very comfortable and relaxing! We were moving our Messiah Univ student back on campus and the location was absolutely perfect. Loved the quaint downtown area, especially Chef de Crepe on Main Street! Our host was very helpful and responsive in every way, making our stay enjoyable. Will definitely stay again!

Cute, clean and comfortable getaway
I stayed here with my two kids (8 and 9) and my friend for a long weekend. We visited local attractions and found this to be a nice central location for visiting Lake Tobias and Hershey Park. Mardell was friendly and easy to communicate with.

Perfect location, great owner
We stayed for a month visiting local relatives. Location was perfect for our needs and nice to have off street parking in town. Mardell, the owner, was easy to reach when we needed anything done…clean linens and towels or to replenish paper goods. Central A/C and fans kept it cool and the beds were really comfortable. Thanks!

like the quietness; cleanliness; courteous; of the host. the nearness of the BnB to Messiah College where my son graduated is not what I expected, A little more information to the nearest places to see. the heresy's chocolate factory is not what I expected. I thought the store would be selling particular chocolate that is not sold in supermarkets. but all in all everything is all well. fidencio

Lovely
The renter was lovely. She was so kind and easy to talk to. A real family person. Made me feel welcomed and at ease staying. The only disadvantage to the property at all, was there is no place to cook at all. Not even a hot plate. Which is my Own fault for not realizing before booking. But unfortunate for me! I have nothing bad to say- house was clean and organized. I felt welcomed and felt like I was at peace.

Second stay
This was our second time staying at the property. Hoping to make it an annual scrapbooking tradition with my sister. It is the perfect place for the two of us! Very well kept and adorable. Within walking distance to many fantastic restaurants and quaint downtown Mechanicsburg.

Fantastic stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Mechanicsburg. The apartment was perfect for our family of 5 and very convenient to everything. We were in the area for several reasons and were able to get to Harrisburg, Hershey, Messiah University, and Shippensburg University very quickly and easily. The apartment itself is delightful and the extra touches like chocolates, granola bars, filtered water and coffee bars make it extra nice. Mardell is a wonderful host. The location itself is close to shops and restaurants, both walking and driving. If we need to come back to the area, we will definitely plan on staying here again. Thanks, Mardell, for having us!

A place for rejuvenation
Easy access for parking. Clean and attractive. Had all the essentials we needed on one floor. Cozy and a great night of sleep was had by all. Wish our travel plans had allowed us to stay for another night.

A great stay
I was in town for a wedding and was staying with my mom and my newborn and toddler. It was perfect for my mom to watch the kids while I went to the wedding. The host even let us check in early for the wedding that day- great experience! Thanks again

Very comfortable stay
The place was very clean and tastefully decorated. Bed was comfortable. As someone who likes to sleep in complete darkness, my only suggestion would be for room darkening shades for the bedrooms.

The host was fantastic, welcoming us upon arrival. Location was in downtown area and within walking distance to many places. Well kept space. Similar amenities in room to a hotel (fridge, microwave, TV, couch, dining area). Perfect for our needs.
