The Hideaway - 19 Private Acres to Explore | House in Hummelstown

Just 10 minutes from Hershey Park/Giant Center, we're located on a 19-acre parcel of wooded land that boasts private walking trails, a 6-basket disc golf course, a large swingset/play structure, and a pavilion with a fire pit, outdoor dining, and grill/flat top cooking.
We will never ask guests to go through an excessive cleaning process at check-out. Please be respectful of our home and tidy up when you leave. But let us worry about the linens and trash. Enjoy your stay!
Our property is about a 10 minute drive to Hershey Park and the Giant Center, and about 5 minutes to Hershey Medical Center. We're also a 10 minute drive to downtown Harrisburg, the Capital Building, and the Harrisburg International Airport. We offer 3 beds along with 2 oversized couches and air mattresses. Please reach out if you have questions about whether our home is the right size for your party!
We’re located on a 19 acre parcel of wooded land with private walking trails, a 5 basket disc golf course (so far), a large swing set/play structure and kid’s cottage, a pavilion with a fire pit, outdoor dining, and grill and flat top cooking. Our property is a nature lover’s paradise. During your visit you may see turkeys, foxes, pheasants, deer, squirrels, cardinals, blue jays, orioles, hawks, and even eagles.
Our B&B is on the bottom floor of our family home. I live upstairs with my husband, two children, and old boxer/blue tick mix Dixie. You will have your own private entrance and completely separate living facilities as well as three dedicated parking spots. Please be aware that there is some sound transfer between your living quarters and ours. So we will be audible to you at times.
When you arrive, you can enter the house by walking down curved concrete steps and into a cozy screened in porch with seating for 4, and gas firepit table. This area is adjacent to our outdoor patio which features seating for 6, a ceiling fan and (soon) a smart TV.
From there, you can enter the guest house through the glass door into a spacious open concept living/dining/game room. To your right is a large seating/living room area with seating for 8 and a smart TV. We also provide family board games and some toys for younger children. The room also has an electronic dart set and air bubble hockey table, and arcade machines for your enjoyment.
To your left is the dining area with an expandable table that seats 8, a second lounging area that seat 5 with a tv, and a kitchenette. The kitchen area includes a full sized refrigerator/freezer, a toaster oven, panini press, and Keurig. We provide utensils, plates, bowls, cups, wine glasses, Tupperware, assorted k-cups, tea and more. We do NOT have a stove/oven as it is not permitted per our zoning ordinance. We do have outdoor cooking options under the pavilion (Weber propane grill, Blackstone flatiron cooktop, and cooking prep station). There is a large utility sink in the laundry area that can also be used for dishes.
Moving ahead from the entrance past the living area you will arrive at the bedrooms and bathrooms. To your left is the second bedroom which contains a twin over full bunk bed, a desk/office area, and a smart tv. Through the closet doors is the washer, dryer, and utility sink. The bathroom is straight ahead and includes a stand-up shower. Towels and amenities (shampoo/conditioner/soap/hair dryer etc) are provided. Continue through the bathroom to the master bedroom which includes a queen bed and tv. In the closet you will find an iron, pack and play, extra blankets/sheets, and air mattresses (Queen, Full, 2 Twin). The master also has a separate entrance that opens into the living room area.
There is a locked door across from the second bedroom that leads upstairs to the main house where I live with my family. Feel free to interact as much or as little with us as you like. As I mentioned, all areas described above are dedicated space for you, and completely separate and private.
The property includes 19 acres of mostly wooded land that you can feel free to explore. I have provided an aerial view map showing some of the areas you might like to explore. To the east of the driveway there is a walkway leading to a large pavilion with a Weber Grill, Blackstone Flatiron Cooktop, and cooking prep station. There is also a large high top table that seats 10 and converts into a shuffleboard table. Next to the pavilion is a fire pit with seating for 8 adults and 2 children. There is plenty of downed wood throughout the property that you can collect and use for firewood, or we can provide cut dried wood ($). Please do not cut anything live down though. We also provide skewers and mountain pie makers for cooking over the fire.
Various lawn games are available upon request (disc golf, croquet, bocce ball, ladder ball, corn hole, spike ball, and Kan Jam)
There is no running water at the pavilion but there is a spigot with a hose attached to the house that will reach the pavilion if you need water for anything.
To the west of the house is a small clearing for children to play. It includes a large swing set/playset, small children’s cottage with loft, and rope climbing tunnel.
There are various trails throughout the property. Some are wide, mowed, well-maintained paths. Others are little more than foot trails through the woods (see photos). There is a 5 basket disc golf course along the well maintained section. If you venture to the foot trails through the woods at the back of the property, be advised that some of the trails are steep and rocky. In the spring and after heavy rainfall. the trails will run through a temporary creek that our children enjoy splashing around in. It will dry up in the summer and dry times though.
All outdoor recreational areas are to be used at your own risk. Check for ticks, especially in the summer months. Leave the wildlife alone. Keep an eye out for the walnuts that tend to fall near the firepit area toward the end of summer and in the fall of the year.
We also provide a welcome book with local attractions, rainy day recommendations, restaurant suggestions, and hiking/biking/kayaking trails.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to us if you need anything that we just didn't think of. We also welcome feedback of anything else that we can provide or how we can help make your stay better. Thanks for looking at our home!
