Creek side cottage with awesome porch and fire pit

Creek cottage on Conodoguinet Creek a class 1 stream on the International Whitewater Rating system with private access for kayaks, tubes and canoe - bring your own or rent from us. Convenient to everything but private. Hershey and Carlisle are an easy 20 minute drive. House is located on creek with a septic system so we use environmental safe products and ask guests to conserve water while showering. We have organic apple, peach and pears on the property for guests to enjoy in season. We allow pets with additional fee. The house sits on a Good Hope Road which is a busy route connecting Carlisle Pike and 81. The house is 5 minutes to grocery, drug store, movie theatre, and all major food choices. Creek living with all amenities so convenient does mean you will hear cars passing by when outside. We don’t allow parties and ask that when outside to respect neighbors. Fire pit is available and you can bring your own wood. Fishing is permitted in creek under PA Game and Fish guidelines. Canoe, kayaks and tubes available to rent. For guests staying 5 days they are free to use once liability waiver is signed. The access for pulling trailers is limited to small trailers entering from the carlisle pike road. If question please call.

Great place

The home was so cute, clean and conveniently located. It was well stocked and the owners thought of everything to make it a home away from home. The driveway was a little challenging but it was a great place. Highly recommend!

Golf Weekend

My adult sons and a neighborhood friend of theirs stayed with me here. We golfed at Armitage, only 5 minutes away. And also at Royal Manchester within 30 minutes. Enjoyed dining nearby at Pizza Boy, Dukes Riverside and the Watershed Pub. One of my sons caught a big bass in the creek behind the house. Perfect weekend.
