Emily was a very gracious host. Her property was an amazing comfortable, cozy, clean, and well kept property. It was perfect for our trip up to Hershey, PA to use as a home-base to attend our daughter’s National dance competition at Hershey Park (12 min from the property). We highly recommend this property because of its wonderful host and accommodations.

We enjoyed our stay at The Cardinal. The space was very clean and well thought out. The distance to Hershey is about 15mins and an Uber cost around 15-20. The host was very responsive and accommodating. If we are visiting the area again we would definitely book this rental for our stay.

Lots of nice amenities, kitchen extras, laundry detergent, fans in closet, blow dryer, etc. The concert we came to see got rescheduled due to weather, and Emily communicated quickly. Stairs may be a little steep for some, but otherwise, perfect and cute! Perfect for our family of 4.

The owner was very attentive and fast at responding. We needed to adjust our booking dates and they made it very easy to do so quickly. The home is very cute and was well stocked, so a trip to the store only required buying food and not they typical soap, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent etc. we were very happy with our stay.

Cute spot

Our stay was short but had everything we needed. The inside of the home was precious. Owners have thought through all you would need. Stairs are very steep making luggage hard to get up there but we knew that going in and it did not hinder our stay. Would definitely stay there again.
