Exactly as advertised. We took advantage of the opportunity to launch our kayaks. Comfortable and quiet just the way we like it. The whole experience was laid back and easy. Definitely would stay here again.

Weekend Getaway
For Christmas, we were giving tickets to the Sight and Sound Theatre in Lancaster. My son was graduating from the Keystone State Challege Academy at Fort Indiantown Gap so we made a long weekend of it! The house was very nice and relaxing. I wish we had brought a canoe or fishing rods because the water access was so lovely. My only suggestion would be to bring board games or cards or a book to read as there is not a television and no games or books were provided by the host.

Swatara Creek and Bike access
Well kept getaway with excellent access to creek for kayaking and bike/running paths at Swatara State Park plus south to icecream at the KOA. We kayaked and biked each day, coffee on the deck by the creek and the back porch, fire pit at night, used the gas grill for dinner. Exactly what we were looking for!
