The home has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. It is three stories, with the third floor designated as a private primary suite boasting capital and river views! As parking can be very difficult in the city, we pay for one parking space, as a courtesy to guests, in Midtown's only secure garage, which is a short five minute walk from the home. We may also pull ONE permit, per rental, for a guest to park along the street for $20. Guests must provide their vehicle information and payment at least three business days in advance of their stay to allow sufficient time to pull the permit from the city.
The first floor offers a completely renovated kitchen, complete with brand-new Kenmore appliances and gas range. As well as an enjoyable area to relax and socialize with your fellow guests. There is a 55 in. LED 4k TV with cable and Roku in the living room.
The second floor offers two bedrooms; one with a queen mattress and the other a full. The larger of the two bedrooms also offers a desk for a work space. Both rooms have their own flat screen TVs with Roku to stream Netflix, Hulu, and Disney +! The second floor bathroom offers a rain shower and houses the brand new washer and dryer for convenience. There is also a small deck to enjoy a cup of coffee or a glass of wine while overlooking Midtown.
The third floor is the primary suite with a queen mattress and an on-suite bathroom with an antique claw foot bathtub. This room also has a flat screen TV with Roku as well as lots of charm! Guests may also enjoy a separate seating area with vanity to get ready in the morning.
Pack and Play and highchair available upon request.

Clean house, comfy beds. Had everything we needed, small kitchen, laundry room, 2 nice remodeled bathrooms. Parking garage available but was bit of a hike away. We parked on the street within a 1 block radius of the house for our stay. Check in/check out was easy.
It was a great experience. There were issues with the fridge early on and our hosts jumped right on it bringing in a mini fridge and buying a new small freezer. It was a weekend and repair men were not available but they made sure all our food didn’t spoil. They called multiple times just to make sure we were doing ok. Have never received such quality service like they gave!
The row house was very clean and had a bit of old world charm. It was very close to a lots of great eating places, historic landmarks and a beautiful tree lined walkway along the river was just a block away. The only thing that could be difficult at times was finding street parking near the rental.
This a well-appointed house in mid-town. Hosts were available when needed-would recommend this if stairs are not an issue.

The accommodations were fine although the livingroom furniture is uncomfortable. Our main issue was feeling harassed by the host. All in all will not be going through Vrbo again. Worried they would find something wrong just to be vengeful. Very disappointed.
The Harrisburg home was quite stunning & clearly loved and well-maintained. The location was nice in terms of walking to the river, market, and other midtown spots. What was challenging was the parking. We opted not to buy a pass for street parking and chose to use the owners' garage spot instead; I regret that choice, as the walk back and forth to the garage was longer than I realized and hard to do with my kids (9 and 7) at the end of long days at Hersheypark. Everything was clean, the beds were comfortable, and we generally enjoyed our stay. It would have been nice to have a larger soft space for our family to hang out, but the front room and dining room were enough. The provided K-cups, water bottles, and chips were a lovely touch. We initially had trouble with the keypad, but eventually got it.I would caution families with younger kids about choosing this property - since it is a historic house, you have to be clear w/ kids about house rules (if you're like me, you'll spend the whole time worried about your kids accidentally breaking all the glass/ceramic decor). For instance, there is a strict no shoes policy to protect the floors. My kids were great about that, but the vibe felt like we were staying in a museum & had to be cautious about what we touched/moved/used. It didn't feel like a home where we could fully relax after long days in the city & Hersheypark. This is NOT a criticism of the owners in any way, just an observation for others to consider when booking.
Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans ce très joli chalet tout en bois. Le grand espace de vie au rez-de-chaussée est à la fois confortable et chaleureux, avec un poêle à bois qui crée une ambiance très conviviale. La cuisine est parfaitement équipée, ce qui est un vrai plus. On a également beaucoup apprécié la belle terrasse et le grand jardin — idéal pour se détendre ou faire des barbecues.Les chambres sont spacieuses et confortables, la salle de bain est fonctionnelle, avec en bonus une machine à laver et un sèche-linge. Tout est pensé pour qu'on se sente comme chez soi, y compris pour les familles avec enfants, même en bas âge.Le chalet est idéalement situé, au calme, en retrait de la circulation, tout en étant proche des commerces du village, dont un supermarché très pratique. C’est aussi un excellent point de départ pour explorer la région (Rouge Gazon, Bussang, Ballon d’Alsace…) avec de nombreuses possibilités de randonnée, de cyclisme et de VTT.Enfin, l’hôte est extrêmement gentille et accueillante, ce qui a rendu notre séjour encore plus agréable.Une adresse à recommander sans hésitation !
My husband, son and I had a great stay! The property is very clean and well appointed. The location in Midtown Harrisburg is perfect. Broad Street Market is close by and if you are adventurous, you can walk to Lil Amps for great coffee. Raising the Bar bakery is a delicious stop too.
The hosts were always accessible via message in the app and responded quickly. Before our trip, we thought we needed to make a change and they were willing to work with us.
We would stay here again for sure!
