The stay was good! However the property pictures are misleading. The burn pit, hot tub and bar are about 150 yards away ...

The stay was good! However the property pictures are misleading. The burn pit, hot tub and bar are about 150 yards away from the property. And not in good repair, we had to make due wit things around the house. The host was superb, and even showed our group members how to play pickle ball. Overall it was still a good stay.

Wonderful access to Sights and Sounds Theater
The home is beautiful. It was spacious and clean. My only thoughts are for moms looking for somewhere that their small children can run freely. It is not mentioned or shown in pictures the highway that is less than 50ft from the front door. It was extremely busy, with high moving traffic, which made sleeping somewhat difficult as well. Additionally, there is a Backyard furniture business that separates the house from the backyard. It wasn’t an inconvenience, it was just startling when I was expecting it to be a quiet stay in the country. Otherwise, the house was beautiful and clean. The playground equipment was extremely nice to have (it was there for the business, but accessible for house guests) and we were very close to several locations we were there to visit.

Family Fun in a Farmhouse
My family and I really enjoyed our time in Ronks. The house was very spacious, and the location made it easy to get to all the sites in the Hershey/Lancaster area. Loved the swing & rocking chairs on the front porch. Our only real concern was the low water pressure. Both showers in the house could not be use at the same time.

Clean, Nice House Close to Everything
The house was very clean and bedrooms were nice size with comfortable beds. Kitchen is large and well equipped. Location of house is only minutes away from many attractions including the Sight and Sound theater which was our destination. We had a little snafu getting our entry code. It was not in any email, owner was out of town, and not responding to VRBO messages. Luckily the business next door is owned by the same person and an employee was able to reach the owner for the key code. The only negative thing was the proximity to Route 30, it's literally in the front yard and traffic noise was constant. Not really an issue during the day, but sleeping was a challenge.
