Loud pipes
Loved the property but need to do something about all the noise the pipes make that supply the heat. Sounds like someone tapping on the wall all night….especially the down stairs unit.

Dad's surprise 80th birthday party
My family was very impressed with this property. Only issue we had was the blender bottom seal was shot and lead to leaking our mixed drinks during the stay. Kitchen was impressive.The black make up towels and tea kettle brought back my Westin work life. The bedroom with the jacuzzi was very comfortable and family had no problem with sleeping

Great For Big Groups!
Eight of us stayed here for a weekend. It was as advertised, with plenty of space for us to spread out in. Everything was clean and working well. The one downside is that the children's playroom, which we had planned to use as a bedroom, was unusable due to a foul smell, as if an animal had died in the wall. We were nonetheless able to accommodate everyone and had an excellent weekend.

Delightful
I cannot say enough good things about our stay at the Swiss Chalet. The house is huge with lots of space to gather together. We sat 10 at the dining table with no problem. It was immaculately clean and thoroughly well supplied. The location is perfect. We went to Lancaster one day, Hershey another, and Lititz on a third day. Mt. Greta is quaint with some cool interesting restaurants and a world famous ice cream shop. Emily, the property manager was so easy to communicate with and responded quickly to our few inquiries. I recommend it highly.

Quiet and spacious
We really enjoyed our stay at the chalet. The indoor space was nicely suited for doing things together or finding our own corners to have some quiet time. The house is relatively close to others, but it doesn't really feel like it because it's a quiet neighborhood and there are a number of trees surrounding the chalet. Emily was very prompt in responding to questions we had.

Amazing Chalet
The Swiss Chalet was perfect for my friends and I while we were looking for a place to get away for the weekend. Plenty of cool hikes in close proximity and spacious enough that everyone had somewhere to unwind at the end of the day! The house is huge! It feels like your walking through a maze! We had an amazing time here!

Great stay for Thanksgiving Weekend!
We had a terrific stay at the Swiss Chalet over Thanksgiving weekend... there were 8 of us - two teens and 6 adults. The house has a funky layout, but there was more than enough room to spread out; and the living and dining areas were the perfect size for all of us to hang out comfortably together. The beds were comfy and the sheets and towels were very nice quality. We did have trouble with a wonky oven dial the first night we were there, and after trying to troubleshoot over the phone with no luck, Emily came over and we got it sorted out... crisis averted for cooking the turkey for our Thanksgiving dinner the next day! Emily was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the whole process. The kitchen was very well equipped, and the house, overall, was very clean. We enjoyed walking the quaint streets of the town, and exploring the area. I would definitely recommend the Swiss Chalet!
