Pennsylvania’s state motto is "Virtue, Liberty, and Independence." Rather fitting for a state that houses the Liberty Bell and the Declaration of Independence in Independence Hall. But there’s all that and more to see during your Pennsylvania vacation rental!
 
For an edible vacation rental, start out at the Sturgis Pretzel House in Lititz, Pennsylvania. It is America’s first commercial pretzelry. Next stop is Lancaster where Peeps, the classic Easter treats, were invented. Finish off your snack food tour in Hershey, Pennsylvania, the "Chocolate Capital of the United States." Home to Hershey’s chocolate, the town is obviously very proud of its contribution to America, giving us Hershey’s Chocolate World, HersheyPark Arena, Hotel Hershey, and HersheyPark Stadium.
 
Or, for an animal-themed vacation rental, stop by the National Aviary in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg, the largest indoor agricultural exposition in the nation, and the Philadelphia Zoo, America’s first zoo. Then finish off your safari with a hello to Punxsutawney Phil, the national ambassador on Groundhog Day.
 
Finally, for a historic vacation rental, stop by the Pennsylvania Dutch Region, home to both old order Amish and old order Mennonites. Go to Allentown, Pennsylvania – also mentioned in a Billy Joel song, it was where the United States hid the Liberty Bell from the British during the American Revolution. See a play at The Erie Playhouse in Erie, Pennsylvania – it’s the third oldest community theater in the nation. Go shopping in Harrisburg, a significant trading post for the army during the Civil War. Finish off your tour in Philadelphia, a past nation’s capital, and call on the former homes of author Edgar Allen Poe and famous seamstress Betsy Ross.
 
So whether you’re studying in the Happy Valley of State College or eagle watching and white water rafting in the recreational paradise of the Poconos mountains, Pennsylvania is sure to be the perfect choice for your next vacation rental.
