Mechanicsburg House | IN-GROUND POOL, Large Private Fenced Yard, Dining Gazebo, Outdoor Kitchen/Bath

6 Bedroom House in Mechanicsburg

Hershey, Gettysburg, and the Dutch Country/Lancaster County are at your fingertips, yet you'll enter your own private retreat in this comfortable home on a large corner lot with majestic oak, maple, and dogwood trees in a peaceful neighborhood. You will be conveniently located to all the attractions of Central PA, with Hershey 30 minutes to the East, Gettysburg 30 minutes to the West, and the Amish Country 45 minutes South of us. Ski Roundtop is a short 9 miles from the house! There is easy access to PA Interstates and the PA Turnpike. You couldn’t find a better vacation location in our area in any season!
POOL:
One outstanding feature is the spacious, privacy-fenced backyard with a large 16’ by 36’ in-ground pool with two fountains, a screened gazebo with dining table, ceiling fans, and lighting, plus a convenient pool house with an outdoor kitchen and a bath with a luxurious oversized tile shower. An extra nice feature is the large poolside deck loaded with furniture for all your needs, not often found in vacation rental homes. The pool generally opens around March 27 (Depending on Temperature). THE WATER WILL BE COLD AT FIRST, but it should be more comfortable for swimming within a few weeks as long as we get some sunny weather. Until then, the brave are welcome to swim, or you can enjoy the relaxing sound of the fountains as you lounge by the pool and make s'mores on the sole stove. (Those daring enough to take a dip in March or early April are welcome to do so - it's been done many times!)The pool closes around October 1, again dependent on temperature.
KITCHEN:
The 5 or 6-bedroom home features a first-floor, fully renovated kitchen with breakfast nook and GE Profile stainless steel appliances, including a convection/air-fry oven, dishwasher, microwave, and large refrigerator with water and ice in the door. There is also a second refrigerator in the three-season outdoor kitchen so you never run out of refrigerator space.
Also on the first floor is the Southwest bedroom with a queen bed and direct access to a half bath (we call it the Palm room!) The half bathroom can also be accessed from the foyer, so it can be shared.
FIRST FLOOR:
The first-floor L-shaped living/dining area has leather dining chairs and large comfortable couches and chairs for viewing the flatscreen TV.
SECOND FLOOR:
1. Primary bedroom with a queen-size bed, a desk, and a leather chair for viewing the 60' LED TV with soundbar
2. Second bedroom with a queen bed
3. Third bedroom with a double bed, a twin bed, and a futon that can be used as a bed. It's as large as the master bedroom.
4. Fourth bedroom is a beautifully renovated suite with a queen bed, full bath, and walk-in shower, and offers an additional laundry area.
BASEMENT:
In the basement, you'll find the large den/sixth bedroom combination with a queen-size bed, leather couch, and love seat, and a flat-screen Smart HDTV and sound system. There is a half bath on this level. In addition, you’ll find a convenient laundry room with a washer and dryer in another section of the basement, and we supply all the laundry products. Laundry chutes on the first and second floors send all the dirty laundry directly to the basement laundry room. You can play air hockey with the kids while the laundry is drying!
RESERVATIONS:
We mostly book through HomeAway or VRBO (or other affiliated websites) because it’s very safe and secure for our guests. During checkout, Guests review our attached rental agreement and house rules and agree to them by checking the box and completing the reservation request. Due to insurance regulations, we rent only to those over the age of 25. For smokers, we ask that you smoke outside ONLY and properly dispose of cigarette butts.
CANCELLATION POLICY:
SPECIAL NOTE: We encourage guests to purchase "cancel for any reason" travel insurance for your trip as long as the coronavirus pandemic continues. (FYI, our cleaning crew is taking extra precautions to sanitize the home between guests, especially doorknobs, faucets, light switches, TV remotes, etc.)
RESTAURANTS/SUPERMARKETS:
If you’re looking for good local eateries close to the house, walk to Deiner’s on Main Street for breakfast. If you’re hungry for bagels, Ressler’s Bagels and Deli will hit the spot, a very short drive from the house. They were rated a perfect “10”, the best bagels in all of central Pennsylvania. Juice ‘N Java, in Windsor Park Shopping Center, five minutes from the house, is a great coffee shop with gourmet sandwiches, etc free Wi-Fi, and laptops provided. We enjoy the fabulous gyros, lamb dishes, chargrilled souvlaki, just everything at Hellenic Kouzina, a family-run Greek restaurant with parents and sometimes all nine children pitching in. In season, you can eat in the courtyard with a stone fountain and hanging lights. Don't forget to try Rakestraw's Ice Cream, just a few blocks' stroll from the house, Dad's Garage Grill, or Eckels' Ice Cream Fountain, a blast from the past on Main Street. All of the above restaurants are within five minutes or less from the house by car, and our area has lots of the major chain restaurants as well. There are two Giant Supermarkets within a five-minute drive, and the upscale Wegman's Groceries with gourmet selections of cheese, a Mediterranean bar, craft beer, great sushi, and an expansive hot and cold food bar with a dining area is a short drive from the home.

Summary: Our family spent the week and everything was fantastic. Pool was super clear and clean. The gazebo was a life saver in the hot weather. Loved the outdoor bathroom. Near lots of great restaurants and activities. Would definitely come back in the future. Our family had an excellent time.
