Amazing property

The host was very clear with directions and was very helpful and responsive. The property was beautiful, although I wish I was a few weeks later for the pool to be open. My kids really enjoyed the firepit and going out on the pond in the paddle boat. I highly recommend!

Relaxing Getaway

My cousin and I booked this stay to unplug from regular life and relax. This property did not disappoint! It was easy to get in, the lake, back porch and fire pit were perfect to help us relax and unwind. The location is only 15 - 20 minutes outside of Hershey and easy to get to plenty of wineries around in the area. Will definitely consider coming back in the future!

It’s a very cozy/homey property, we all enjoyed it very much. Only downside was that we weren’t informed prior, nor was it stated on the site the heated pool was not going to be available to us. So beforehand I’d ask if all amenities are available. (Heated pool was our reason for picking the property) other than that it was great and very beautiful.

Pondview Paradise

Stayed here for 2 nights because we had a wedding at Star Barn. Location was excellent. Was very nice and well stocked with Everything!! Very clean. Really enjoyed having coffee on the front porch. Beautiful pool but we never got out there because of the rains while we were there. There were tornado watches, and Holly even messaged us that if one happened that we could go to their basement with them. Was very private. Would definitely book here again if we were in this area!!!

We had an amazing vacation at Pondview. Everything was so clean it felt like home. The kid's would swim everyday and night. Hershey was right down the street so convenient. Holly would respond to any of our needs within minutes. We will definitely be back again!

Perfect 4th of July weekend

We stayed here over 4th of July weekend. It was close enough to take the kids to Hershey every day (lovely drive through country back roads) and was the perfect place to unwind afterwards when we were hot and tired. The owners have an eye for hospitality. There were extra bathroom toiletries, plenty of towels and a homemade banana bread waiting for our arrival! Everything was labeled so no guessing which switch did what, and parents with little kids will love the supply of plastic cups and plates, along with regular dinnerware in the kitchen. The pool was lovely to come relax in after some super hot days at Hershey (we went in the middle of a heat wave!). It was the perfect spot for a family vacation. We'll definitely be back!

Fantastic!!!

Pondview was positively fantastic! About 20 minutes from Hershey with great local restaurants nearby. Holly & Mike were gracious hosts and quick to respond to inquiries. Our tween girls LOVED the pool (so did we!) and it was great to be able to make breakfast or reheat leftovers in the kitchen. Great extras and surprises - you won’t regret a stay here!

We loved Pondview. It was uber clean and welcoming. The property is absolutely beautiful. There was homemade bread & refreshments when we arrived which made it feel extra special. The fireplace was our favorite amenity! We would definitely return for another stay. They thought of everything to make our stay comfortable.

Winter wonderland

We stumbled upon this listing when booking last minute for a winter wedding. The host was so accommodating, extremely helpful and great with communication. Upon arrival we were met with a welcome basket, a fridge stocked with drinks and a clean comfortable house. This made a perfect getaway for our family of four- perfectly meeting our needs. After picking up a pizza on our way into the rental, we hung out in front of the fireplace in the cozy living room and played a game of uno we found among puzzles and other games and toys located in the living room cabinet. We ventured out in the middle of a snow storm to go to a wedding a few miles away, and the host had the walkway cleared for us, and the driveway cleared and salted upon our return. If you find yourself in the area needing a place to stay, I highly recommend it!! Thanks for a wonderful weekend!

Family Home Base

Loved having a “home base” to host/ feed/ visit with our local family while we were back in the state. Convenient to Masonic Village and located centrally for family all the way from Chester to Dauphin counties. Really appreciated having a relaxing, well-stocked gathering place where we could prepare and serve home-cooked meals while on the road and loved that the baby could roam safely inside. We threw in an unplanned side trip to Chocolate World - this would be a lovely spot for a Hersheypark getaway as well!
