Ladies Weekend getaway
It was just the right size for 4 of us mature women. We were celebrating my daughter's 50th birthday and wanted a place to rest and relax. This cottage was perfect for that. The only downsize was the PA drought and we could not have a fire in the pit. We were able to walk around in the community and everyone we met along the way was very friendly. We will definitely return.

Wonderful Place to Stay in Mount Gretna
This wonderful home is a great place to stay and experience the uniqueness and beauty of Mount Gretna. The front porch and back deck were perfect places to drink our morning coffee/tea, read, and relax. It is conveniently located to the main attractions in town. We walked to the nearby Hide-Away Cafe where we sat outside and enjoyed a delicious meal. We also took a short walk to the Jiggers Ice Cream Shop where we enjoyed sweet treats. The cottage is a short drive to Mt. Gretna Lake and Beach where we swam, and rented kayaks and inner tubes. The owners lived nearby and were very kind and pleasant. We appreciated them checking in with us and providing us with coffee pods as well as other thoughtful amenities that made our stay very comfortable. We will definitely stay here again.

Gretna Gem
Lovely cabin. Would book again. I would only ask the outdoor furniture in the back be cleaned a bit for guest use. Would have hoped it but could not turn on hose. Short trip so not a worry.

Nice and quiet
This place was very cozy and very quiet place to stay very family, Friendly. The only thing that we would change would be for the owners to put Some kind of tape on the stairs one of my kids was walking down the stairs and took a tumble because the stairs were slick. We would definitely book again with them.

Peaceful stay
We stayed for a weekend traveling through PA. The house was so clean, comfortable and peaceful. The community was so friendly and the houses were all fun to look at while out for a walk. We enjoyed the concert at the local outdoor theater. Highly recommend staying here and in this community.
