This charming, 19th century brick townhouse (fully renovated in the Spring of 2012) is the closest vacation rental property to Hershey Park, Botanical Gardens and Zoo America, while ideally located in the quiet surroundings of a small neighborhood. Just down the street is a park playground for children near the Swatara Creek, which also offers great fishing, swimming, and canoe/kayaking.

The Travelers’ Post is a two-story home impeccably furnished with casual elegance and gracious hospitality in mind. It has the feel of a boutique hotel – that’s all yours! The first floor has a living area with a pull-out couch and TV/DVD entertainment, full gourmet kitchen with stainless appliances, granite countertops, everything you need to prepare your own meals, as well as a powder room and washer/dryer. Two upstairs bedrooms, one with a four-poster queen bed, the other with a pair of twin beds, have attached baths that are sleek and modern with glass-enclosed showers and tile floors. All spaces are designed to provide soothing havens for rest and gathering, tastefully appointed with world art, textiles and antiques. The private backyard terrace with dining area is perfect for family entertaining, framed by lush foliage and dotted with decorative planters and twinkling lights.

Hershey getaway

The location was perfect to go to a Hershey Bears game and Hershey Park for a weekend. We were so close to the complex and there was plenty of space and privacy. The owners are very responsive and the house was perfect for my family with little kids. We would definitely stay here again!

Excellent place to stay near Hershey Park

First time using VRBO and I am very impressed. After reading terrible reviews for many of the hotels in the area we decided to check out VRBO and we are so glad we did. This place was well cared for and beautiful. Having our own hot tub was so nice after a long day walking around Hershey Park. Would definitely recommend.

So enjoyable and close to everything!

Vacation with the family to visit Hershey Park and this was the perfect place to stay. Super close by and the Hot Tub was such a great bonus to enjoy in the morning and to relax at night. 3 boys so the Xbox was a huge plus and really can't think of one amenity that was missing! Great communication with the manager too. Thanks again!

Great place to stay when going to the park. It is super nice and clean. Owner is great and really cares if you are ok with everything and having fun. He checked in on us a few times. Sooo much better than staying at a big foreign owned gross motel that just wants you $

Such a great property!

My 3 teens & I loved every second of time we spent in this fantastic house! Super clean & cozy (with wonderfully comfy beds & pillows), and close to all the fun stuff at Hershey! And the hot tub was so relaxing after a long day of rollercoasters & chocolate! If there was another star available we would give it a 6 out of 5!

Charming

James is a fantastic host; very responsive, helpful and personable. His property is a wonderful blend of 19th century charm and modern updates. Loved the master four-poster bed. The furnishings, linens, artwork and decor were pleasing, comfortable and of high quality. And the house was very clean which made us feel comfortable right away.

Extended stay

This property had everything my family and I needed to be a home away from home while a loved one was in the hospital nearby. We enjoyed the large shared space, both inside and outside. The hot tub and sauna were a wonderful way to relax at the end of some extremely difficult days. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, the furniture was comfortable and the decor was tasteful. Most of all, the host was compassionate, flexible and understanding of our situation every step of the way. I highly recommend this spot for a Hershey stay.
