About this house rental
Urban house in the center of Midtown Harrisburg. Beautiful home right on the Susquehanna River! Amazing river views from front windows. Walking distance to Capitol, Midtown Scholar Bookstore, Broad Street Market, Strawberry Square, Whitaker Center. Street parking only. Light and bright house with updated interior. We are minimalist in our decor, so we don't have a lot of clutter. But we believe in having items of quality and value. Handmade Amish quilts on all the beds. Beautiful stained glass windows. Local, original works of art throughout the house. A Persian carpet in the living room made from natural dyes and purchased through a fair-trade organization. 2 outdoor decks you can relax and eat on. An outdoor patio off the kitchen. We also love to eat breakfast in the summer at the little table outside our front door. Speaking of breakfast, we love the donuts and cinnamon rolls just a few blocks away from the Broad St. Market. High speed WiFi. 1 LG TV screen in living room. We have board games and books at the house for your enjoyment. Enjoy the great outdoors! Just walk outside and start jogging, walking, and biking along river. 25 minute walk to City Island where you can play mini golf, watch Senators baseball games, City Islanders soccer games, or visit the playground. We love this house and we know you will too! As a family of nine, we live here only part of the year. We love knowing that our home is available to other large groups or even family reunions. We know how hard it is to find similar accommodations in hotels where groups can spend time together. History: The house was owned for 35 yrs. by a professor of psychiatry. Both of us are professors as well, of biology and political science. This house is a great place to relax and take a break from work!

Beautiful location on the river for walks and views. The fact it was a halfway point between western NY and southern VA made it a perfect place to meet for Thanksgiving. Most of our family enjoyed an Escape Room and we all enjoyed Indian Echo Caverns. Our catered Thanksgiving meal was very good from Simply Turkey and the kitchen was very accommodating for food and meals we brought along. A few minor things to note: It would have been nice to have a heads up in the hosts review about shower body soaps and shampoos not being provided. There was a fire place, but no instructions as to whether it was functional or how to use it. Overall, it was a house we will consider for a future visit, hopefully in warmer weather, so we can take longer walks and enjoy the many decks.

It is charming. Fantastic view of the River and sunsets and close to the town. We walked everywhere. The house is quiet and plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and bathrooms. I would stay there again.!!

Was a very nice antique 3 floor brownstone. Plenty of room in this full size home for the whole family. Stocked kitchen. Lots of childrens toys allready there for the kiddos. Owner was extremely fast with communication and very eagar to make our stay as plesent as possible. Was a nice quite neighborhood. Had some small issues but nothing major at all. The wifi and a air conditioner needed some tinkering to get going which i was more then happy to help them out with while they were on the phone with me. Just incase someone on the elderly side is looking into the rental they should consider the home has a ton of stairs and the mattresses are not the best for ones with sensitive backs as most the beds were a little on the wornout side. Otherwise everything about the stay was very acommadating and well worth the price range. Was very nice to have the owner so immediately contactable and be such a pleasant person to deal with as you dont have that a lot of times from my experience.

The bed I slept in was very old. I could feel the individual springs in the mattress. Several cupboards needed cleaning especially in 2nd flr bathroom. I didn't think about taking pictures. We had 3 vehicles that came. Parking was impossible. We were all 2-3 blocks away from the house. Some boards on the deck of 2nd floor outside in the back were rotted so we didn't even bother using.
