Property was very nice and clean hostess provided everything needed for stay neighborhood was wonderful will be booking again. Stayed for weekend fun at Hershey park distance was perfect for us.
The location and property were perfect. More than suited our needs and great for multiple days and a variety of weather. Loved the location. Owner was fantastic with communication.
A group of four friends gathered for a reunion. The house was spacious, clean, attractive, and comfortable. We loved the location and enjoyed our time in the Harrisburg area.
We had everything we needed for a long weekend getaway to celebrate our grandson’s 13th birthday! The home was lovely and comfortable. The location was great for seeing Hershey Park two days and exploring Harrisburg the other days. Bea made us feel welcome and answered all of our questions. We highly recommend this home and hope to return someday!

This house was excellent. It was clean, beautiful, and exceptionally walkable. Bea was a communicative and responsive host who went out of her way to make our stay a memorable one. I would stay here again.
I loved the location-very close to the amenities in Midtown and easily walkable to the Capital District. Checking in process was easy and Bea was an excellent host. The Verbeke House is roomy and had a stocked kitchen. I would definitely stay here again.
The place was so clean, smelled so good, amazing vibes. The location was awesome, parking was super easy! Mini mart right around the corner was awesome, and the host was super nice, she recommended some places for us to go which was really helpful. Everything was very nice!
We had a great time! Took a nice walk to the Capitol, found a couple cute spots to dine, got a nice view of the river and our kids loved the games and foosball!
My sisters and I came to Harrisburg to work on Revolutionary and Civil War ancestors. Bea’s place was in driving distance to everywhere we needed to go. Her place was perfect for us to all have our own space. We loved walking around the neighborhood and stopping in the book stores, shops and market.
My sister and I absolutely loved our stay here! The house was so warm and welcoming and within easy walking distance to lots of restaurants, shops and the river front walk. Would def stay here again and Bea was easy to communicate with and very kind and considerate. Thank you again :)
The listing was accurate; the house clean and comfortable. Access was simple and communication with the host easy. I especially enjoyed the location with access to the sidewalk along the Susquehanna river. The parking arrangement with the Minimart is extremely helpful as finding street parking would be very difficult.
Bea was a great host. The place was spacious and comfortable too. Bea supplied everything we could possibly have needed. The proximity to front street and the river views was also great. We had our pups with us. They enjoyed the daily walks at the riverfront and the fenced in backyard.
Very close to the Airport. Walking distance to basically everything in downtown harrisburg. Very quiet location. Perfect for a big family! Had the best board games available. The beds were super comfy. Will have to stay here again. I’m very satisfied with everything in the house. 10/10 recommend.
Clean. Plenty of room. Host was very responsive and allowed us to add two people last minute since we had plenty of space in the house. Kids loved the game room.
We loved it, perfect for all 5 of us and a baby. We enjoyed watching movies and playing games. We have a forever memory as the baby took his first steps! Backyard was a great area for us to smoke cigars and be together cracking jokes and what not. If you want to stay here we all recommend a big yes.
This was our first Christmas without a home in Central PA. We still have family here but not enough space for 5 of us plus a dog. Bea was amazing. She put up a tree for us and had dog food bowls ready to go with water and treats.Walking the dog on the river front was perfect, although a bit cold.I highly recommend this property and will be sure to book again when i'm back in the area.
We had a fantastic time in Harrisburg! His house is spacious with lots of different locations to hang out or find a quiet place to accomplish tasks. The location is perfect for downtown activities in Harrisburg. I would highly recommend staying here. There is a great path, just 100 yards from the house that Goes down the river and you can you walk for miles. It was an extra perk for me! It is also very close to the Capitol. Loved this place!
The information binder informed us that his house was part of a development built in 1800’s. It was very nice and clean. It had toys that my kids loved playing with! The air conditioning kept the house a perfect temperature and the extra window unit kept the top room from getting too hot. It was only a 30 min drive to Hershey. After the first day my daughter said it felt like home.
Our family of five adults and young adults were visiting PA to enjoy Hersheypark but also wanted to experience the wider Harrisburg area. This house in midtown was perfect for us. We loved the neighborhood, especially the fantastic bookstore up the street. The house was very clean and equipped with anything we might need. The air conditioning kept the place cool and comfortable on our 90+ degree days. Special shout out to the excellent water pressure in the shower. Communication with Bea was easy and always prompt. We highly recommend this home for your stay in Harrisburg.
This is a nice, clean, upgraded property just off Front Street in Downtown Harrisburg. The beds
in the second floor bedrooms were very comfortable and the bathroom spacious and upgraded. Being an older property,
I always worry about the availability of hot water for showers…no problem here. The house was very clean on arrival and the check in and check out instructions were very clear. While parking is a bit difficult immediately at the front door, our hostess has made arrangements to allow guests to park at the corner convenience store a short walk away. While we did not take advantage of it, the third floor loft and the first floor game room with the foosball table make this property a great place for a family with younger children. All in all, a great place at which I would consider staying again.
