Take a look around
One of Airbnb’s most loved homes
“Adjectives like exquisite and beautiful may not be strong enough for Fiona’s home… this home will be the top home in the area booked for folks coming to visit Dickinson!”
“My family of four made a two-week drive across the country staying at many Airbnbs. Fiona’s was by far the one we felt most at home in.”
“My son said ‘it is the best Airbnb we have stayed in so far.’ The house was equipped for long or short term stays.”
“The interior was spotless and beautiful… I am hoping to make this my home base when visiting my son in Carlisle over the next several years!”
Perfectly placed for your visit
Dickinson College
The closest Airbnb to campus — literally across from the Science Center. Ideal for tours, move-in, family weekends and graduation (book early!).
CPYB Ballet Families
Walking distance to Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet studios and the summer-intensive dorms. Full kitchen and washer/dryer make long stays easy.
War College, Car Shows & More
An easy drive to the U.S. Army War College and the fairgrounds’ famous Carlisle car shows — then walk downtown for dinner when you’re back.
Honest answers, no surprises
Free street parking directly in front of the house. Guests report never having trouble finding a spot — minivans included.
The original staircase is charmingly steep. Many guests leave big suitcases on the first floor — packing cubes are your friend.
We sit on a lively downtown corner — part of the charm of being this close to everything. The house is well insulated and comfortable year-round.
Self check-in with a smart lock, any time after 4 PM. Fiona responds within the hour — 100% response rate.
Everything on foot
Park once and forget the car. Tree-lined streets lead to Dickinson’s limestone quads one way and Carlisle’s cafés, restaurants and boutiques the other. Tip from guests: most downtown businesses are liveliest Wednesday–Saturday.
