The best home
I absolutely loved this home. It was beyond equipped it came with everything and I do mean EVERYTHING that you could possibly need. The owners were super nice, hospitable and available although I only needed to call them to compliment them for going above my expectations in regards to a vacation getaway spot. The themes and decor was so original, I’ve never seen anything like it. Thank you for this experience this home was absolutely beautiful and welcoming

Great House
This is a great house in a perfect location (it’s on a Main Street though, so traffic can be annoying at times). The house has everything we needed like if we were home. The kids stayed entertained with the games, pool, and movies. Our main location was Hershey and this was just 20 mins away. There is plenty to do in the area and a ton of places to go for food, entertainment, and shopping. The host was very responsive to us if needed. We would definitely recommend this house and would stay here again.

Amazing Experience!
Wow! This was, by far, the best VRBO we have ever stayed at while on vacation! The owners thought of every single thing we could possibly need which made everyone happy. I can't say enough great things about the communication, options at the house, location of the house, and the tiny little details the homeowners took care of. Honestly our vacation was made even more spectacular because of this house!

Fantastic Stay at The Funky Dutchman!
Our stay at The Funky Dutchman was absolutely perfect! The property had so much character—quirky, fun, and comfortable, making it the ideal home base for our Northeast adventure. We traveled to explore New York, D.C., and other nearby destinations, and the location made it easy to get around while still providing a peaceful retreat at the end of the day.The home was spotless, well-equipped, and full of thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. The hosts were communicative and accommodating, ensuring our stay was seamless from start to finish. If you’re looking for a unique and cozy place to stay, The Funky Dutchman is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

Great winter break
We were hoping for a great escape for us and our granddaughters during their winter break and the Funky Dutchman did not disappoint! The gardens and zoo are surprisingly fun in the winter and Chocolate World can easily fill a day. Best of all, though, was hanging out at the house. We all loved the hot tub even in 20 degree weather! The game room was a big hit too, especially foosball. We watched movies in the theater room every night. With popcorn. The kitchen had everything we needed for a family dinner, but we also had a great meal at a fun restaurant right across the street. Highly recommend this place.

The Funky Dutchman was an amazing place! The owners really stocked this place with everything you could possibly think of and were very responsive! The game room was a huge hit, as well as all of the character that the house had. We loved how close we were to the Rotunda Brew Pub, and just a short drive to all of the Hershey attractions. We had a great time and would definitely recommend this place to all of our friends and family!

Best Rental Ever!
We booked the Funky Dutchman for our daughter’s birthday trip to Hershey Park. The home was beautifully decorated and had fall decor throughout. We couldn’t stop talking about how much we loved the home. The owners have thought about every detail and supplied everything you would need during your stay. The girls had so much fun with all the games, movie room and hot tub. We couldn’t have booked a better place to stay! We have already discussed coming back for future trips to Hershey. The town of Annville is also a gem with restaurants and coffee shops walking distance away. The owners had great communication about checking in and out but we really didn’t need to contact them at all as everything was clearly written down throughout the home. Thank you so much for a great place to stay!! It was a trip we will remember forever!

Great spot!
The Funky Dutchman was the best kind of funky! Everything was very clean, well stocked, so nice they provide sheets and towels and so much more! The kids (ranging from ages 4 to 9) had a BLAST - so much to do between the game room, movie room, pool, hot tub, smores by the fire and more. Easy drive to Hershey each day. The hosts communication was great. Would definitely stay again!

Great weekend
A few old friends from college get together 1-2x a year to catch up and we landed at the Funky Dutchmen for a great weekend away. Super clean and adorable. So many extras included! Linens, towels, soap, coffee, ziplock bags, etc. It was great! We enjoyed hanging out at the house, utilized the hot tub and proximity to Hershey. We enjoyed the brewery right across the street as well. Everything was great. The only issue we ran into was that the there was no where to hang up clothes. Closets were secured for what I assume to be the owner’s belongings. We were only there for a couple days so it wasn’t a big deal. If we planned to stay longer, it might have been a challenge. Minor thing really. It’s a great house.

A VRBO to remember!
We are a 3 generational family from ages 24-86 on a weekend getaway to reconnect. This home has a bit of Parisian flair mixed with undeniable Dutch culture making it a fabulous getaway! TOP on our list of accommodation recommendations. While our stays in vrbos may be extensive, we have never stayed in a holiday home with such complete and boundless amenities. The thoughtfulness given, from the decor to the niceties, obvious hosting families in your vacation rental is a labor of love for you. The movie theater, s’mores around the fire pit, relaxing in the hot tub, meals & games around the beautiful dining room table are the memories which last forever and will be shared with many. Not to mention what a hit the candy machine, the popcorn popper and that fabulous game room was for all of us. Check in & instructions for property were clear and concise. Definitely hope to rebook! Thank you for the goodies, for being an exceptional host & sharing your slice of paradise with us!

Great getaway
We stayed at the funky Dutchman for 8 days. My cousins and I do a family vacation once a year and this year we met in the middle in PA. Kyle was easy to work with and responded quickly to all my questions and concerns. The house was fully stocked with TP, trash bags, laundry detergent, dryer sheets, dishwasher tabs, foil, plastic baggies, and so much more! You basically just need to show up with your clothes and enjoy! The neighborhood is beautiful and has lots to do that’s close by, including a brewery across the street. If you have littles with you, cleona elementary school has a beautiful playground that’s about 10 mins away (you can play there as along as school is not in session). My whole family enjoyed walking the path, playing basketball, playing on the playground, and more). The house is also located 15-20 mins from Hershey park and Hershey world! We will definitely go back in the future!
