Cocoa Cottage with a Private in-Ground Pool

Welcome to the Cocoa Cottage, one of the original Milton Hershey homes, built for chocolate factory staff in the late 1920's. The cottage is situated in the heart of downtown Hershey, where on any given day the scent of chocolate fills the air! It is nestled within one block of the Best Restaurants, Cafes, Hershey's Live Theater, Parks, Italian Market and even Zoo America! The Cottage boasts the best seats in town for all fireworks celebrations on New Years Eve and the Fourth of July!

During the summer months between Memorial Day and Labor Day your family can enjoy a private salt water in-ground swimming pool, gas grill and deck with a view of Hershey Park's rollercoasters! This house is available year round for a family vacation, reunions or a cozy get-away. Monthly rentals are available if you're here on business or relocating.

Two of the bedrooms have queen size beds with TV/DVD players. The third bedroom has a bunk bed with a full size bed on the bottom. If you need an additional bed there is a pullout sofa in the living room. The kitchen is fully stocked and all linens, towels and pool towels are provided. All you need to do is pack your suitcase!

Great place that was just like home

We stay in a lot of homes, and this kitchen was so inclusive. Multiple coffee makers - every pot & pan you could ever need, and glassware, plates, and utensils were very nicely stocked. Pool was fabulous after long days, and salt water made it even better. Easy walking to multiple restaurants and things to do. I completely recommend this place.

Great even without Hersey Park

Thank you Heather and family for the great cottage! It has everything you need. The pool was awesome! We even left the park early to just swim in the pool. Have to return without visiting Hersey Park.

Family Hersheypark vacation

The Cocoa Cottage was above and beyond what my family and I ever expected!! The house is amazing! Clean, so cute, great layout, perfect location but most of all the pool was incredible!!!!! The owner has the home stocked with all necessities, very detailed instructions regarding check in/check out, trash, etc. A cute handy pamphlet with extra info about nearby restaurants and areas to check out. This was by far the best house rental I’ve booked and can’t wait to visit again! Thank you!!

Charming Hershey Cottage

Cocoa Cottage was meticulously clean and well stocked with every amenity you could think of. The location was in walking distance of many restaurants and attractions. We enjoyed the spacious deck and well appointed rooms. We were wishing it was summer so we could have enjoyed the beautiful pool. Our hostess was attentive in communication. We will be back!

We love visiting Hershey PA and will make the Cocoa Cottage our first choice of accommodation for our next trip. The home has all the special touches that make it welcoming. The kitchen is spacious, the beds are comfy, the sofas are cozy, and the location is ideal.

Excellent home for families or groups!

With 3 bedrooms and a pool, this is the perfect house for people to gather and relax after enjoying some fun in Hershey! We couldn’t have asked for a more convenient location - there are numerous restaurants within steps from the back gate, and it was only a quick drive to the spa and the chocolate factory. We had everything we needed and hope to be back next year!!!

Slice of sweetness

This cottage was great! Very cool neighborhood across the street from a couple of restaurants in downtown Hershey and the park… on Saturday night when we check in there was a concert on the common. We got dropped off at the park and we’re able to exit through the zoo and was able to walk home! It was great. Pool was perfect too!

Incredible home away from home

This was our first stay in Hershey and I am so thankful I found this listing. It was the perfect place to call home each night after our adventures all day. We had a couple issues with the pool filter not turning on but Heather was prompt with replies and sending help to fix it. The house is exactly as pictured. Absolutely gorgeous. If you choose to visit over July 4th... You can watch the fireworks from the pool!

Loved Charming Cocoa Cottage!

Our group of 8 women all agreed that Cocoa Cottage was the perfect spot for our annual girls getaway. There are thoughtful touches and supplies throughout the house and all beds including the sofa were comfortable. The location is a short car ride to Hershey Gardens & Chocolate World. It is also an easy walk to the Hershey Story Museum and many restaurants. The area feels quaint & safe. Host Heather was great with questions before our stay & responded quickly when I contacted once her during our stay. The pool was open and looked very inviting but water was still a little too cold for our April stay. However we did enjoy chatting into the evening on the big front porch and eating our pizza’s under the two umbrellas on the back deck. I highly recommend Cocoa Cottage and would definitely return.

VERY PLEASANT STAY

We were impressed with all aspects of the house and pool. Very well stocked with kitchen, bath and pool essentials. The house is so close to downtown Hershey, the park, chocolate factory and other outdoor activities. I would highly recommend this house to anyone looking to explore all that Hersey has to offer.

Hershey/Post Malone/Jelly Roll

This house sits on a quiet street lined with the cutest homes. Front porch sitting, hardwood floors, original home character, a beautiful kitchen, the most comfortable couches ever, and a covered back porch overlooking the pool with a view of downtown Hershey and rollercoasters. I love this home. It was immaculently clean. You can hear music from Hersheypark Stadium. A short 9 min car ride gets you to hersheyworld and hersheypark stadium. Will definitley be back ! #PostMalone/Jelly Roll Best crepes ever from Au Bon Lieu French Crepery! Just walk out the back yard, cross the alley and boom. Best crepes ever!
