Photos and Description of the Hershey vacation cottage rental
2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 4-6

As the story goes, this cottage was once a distillery that crafted rye rum and corn whiskey for sale in Philadelphia. Located within a beautiful setting with natural and historical wonders to explore, we are a small family farm raising sheep, goats, alpacas, chickens...and cats. A rustic experience awaits!

- Relax on the front porch, enjoy your favorite beverage or book and listen to the sounds of the Conewago Creek.

- Help with barn chores. Or just view the animals grazing from your perch on the front porch.

- Receive a tour of this Historic Mill and property.

- Take a leisurely stroll through the woods & wetlands trail on the property.

-Walk or ride your bike from the Mill to Mt. Gretna (12 miles) on the Conewago Rail Trail located right across the creek. While there, visit the regionally famous 'Jigger Shop' for some ice cream (open seasonally), swim at the lake, attend the annual art festival in August.

-Great central location for sight seeing & history inspired tours. Guests have taken trips to Gettysburg, HersheyPark, Lancaster, Philadelphia, Washington DC, New York City.

-We are happy to offer suggestions of things to do. Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine tour/steam train ride & a visit to nearby Centralia is one of those special unusual side trips that we love (approx 1hr 30 mins away) http://www.pioneertunnel.com/home.shtml

Great place!

I can't think when I've enjoyed any place more! It's just as advertised--beautiful, comfortable, and rural without being isolated. The owners are not only welcoming and kind, but great conversationalists as well. All in all, Miller's Cottage is the sweetest spot this side of a villetta di campagna in Tuscany.
Owner's Response: It was great spending time talking on the porch getting to know you both! We really enjoyed having you as guests & hope you will find your way here again to visit friends new & old. I hope the rest of your travels were fun & relaxing.

So Perfect

5 of 5
Submitted: July 12, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
This place is an absolute perfect get away. The owners has taken time to provide and think of anything that any type of family would need. The owners are very accomodating and more than willing to help out and answer any questions. The property was very clean and had a charm about it that is hard to describe. Every morning my family looked forward to watching the animals, listening to the roosters crow, and playing with the cats. None of us wanted to leave. The mill tour was great and provided our family with a unique historical look at life in the 1700's. We are looking forward to coming back to this house for another vacation.

This place is a fantastic retreat. The owners have really thought of everything that you would possibly need. The location is close to so many of the great attractions and activities that surround this beautiful area of PA. The homeowners are so accomodating and attentive to your needs. The animals are a treat and fascinated the kids. I cannot say enough kind words about this place. My kids did not want to leave....I did not want to leave. The tour of the mill was fascinating and I am so thankful that the owners are taking the time to preserve our American history.

Wonderful getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: August 7, 2010 Stayed: July 2010
Beautiful house located strategically in the quiet neighborhood that is within reach from multiple attractions that area has to offer: hiking, swimming, recreation parks, Amish villages and many, many more.
The cottage is ran by a wonderful family who takes every detail in consideration and makes the stay feel like a true home away from home.
It was such a pleasure to return to this place after days filled with activities and be able to relax around the grill, watch a movie from their collection or read the book on the front porch.
Our boys enjoyed every second of being here and insist on us coming back next year. I think, we will.

Thank you for everything!

We Loved This Place!

5 of 5
Submitted: January 20, 2010 Stayed: January 2010
Our stay in this cottage was perfect in every way! The place was very clean and clearly, very well cared for. Little things like toiletries, cooking supplies, a great selection of CD's, DVD's, games, books and of course the fresh eggs, set this stay apart from the other vacation homes we've rented. The Owners are very friendly and helpful and our kids had a great time playing with their boys. They gave us a tour of the grounds and the mill and we loved learning about the history of this beautiful place. There is nothing like waking up in the morning and seeing the sheep, goats and elpacas grazing in the field.

We would definitly stay again and highly recommend this place to anybody considering a stay in the Hershey, Harrisburg area.

Even with the leaves down and the weather starting to turn, we were so delighted with the charm and character of this pretty historic property. The owners were so welcoming and the cottage was spotless. I plan to come back with my kids so we can take advantage of all the historical things in the area. Loved our visit.

Wonderful Vacation

5 of 5

We had a wonderful vacation and found the location in Elizabethtown to be very central to many attractions. We went to Hershey, Gettysberg, Lancaster, Kennett Square and Cabela's in Hamburg as day trips.

The property was beautiful, loved the kitties and chickens, the creek and incredible fall colors. The house was clean, very comfortable and well stocked for a vacation rental. Our hosts were freindly and available if we had questions about the area. Would love to visit Longwood garden's in Kennett Square again in a different sason.

Now we got a cat, too!

Our family brought my parents here for a two day trip away from NYC, and it was wonderful! The weather was not cooperative for enjoying all the benefits of the this lovely haven, but it's not just the hiking and swimming hole that will win you over! The hospitality and home were both warm and welcoming, and enjoyed our time touring the working farm and the grist mill with all it's history! We also enjoyed a short exploration of the woods and then a campfire between the bouts of rain and summer thunderstorms! Our favorite place was on the porch, where we had dinner and breakfasts (made w/ farm fresh eggs, of course!) and time to swing and play with the cats. Our kids, 6yrs and 3 yrs, fell in love with the cats so much, that later that week we went to the ASPCA to adopt our own loving cat, Melba! When the rain was at it's worst, we took a trip into town- for Chocolate World! Thank you so much! We look forward to coming back next summer!

Tranquility on the Conewago

5 of 5
Submitted: July 19, 2009 Stayed: July 2009
We had a wonderful weekend in this historic two story stone cottage overlooking a historic 235 year old grist mill. Two blissfully quiet days save for the constant sound of water rushing over the titanic boulders perfectly placed in the middle of the Conewago creek. We spent the afternoon canoeing down the creek, and the evening relaxing on Adirondack chairs before an outdoor fire pit. In the morning, there were fresh eggs in the refrigerator, and a kitten on the porch. I took my morning coffee on the front porch. It was a moment of absolute tranquility that I will treasure.

The description was accurate with respect to the location, the layout, and the general amenities. The property was rustic yet clean and well-maintained. The Cottage was furnished with an eclectic blend of new and old fashioned but comfortable furniture in keeping with the age and nature of the property.

The first night we ate at the Black Griffin, only 3 miles away (at the edge of town). The food was standard fare, well presented, and moderately priced. The restaurant was clean, well maintained and well staffed.

The location of the Miller’s cottage is ideal for kayaking the creek, walking the rail trail, touring the old mill, or taking the family to Hershey for the day. Tucked neatly into 39 acres of undeveloped woods and fields, along the Conewago Creek, the location only seems remote. This historic working farm with a few alpacas, goats, chickens, and even hydroponic pick your own strawberries, is only three or four miles from the nearest town with all the basic amenities and friendly locals. It's central to all the attractions of Hershey, Mount Gretna, and just 20 minutes from Harrisburg or Lancaster’s factory outlets and Amish Country.

The proprietors provided remarkable customer service. They were hospitable, cordial and available. They made us feel welcome and even appreciated. I would recommend this property to any history and outdoor enthusiast looking to get away close to Harrisburg, Hershey, Lancaster or the Conewago rail trail.
