Great property with plenty of room and a wonderful screened in porch. The master bedroom and bath were huge with lots of room and two sinks. Check-in was very easy and the pictures and house info was very accurate. We love Mont Gretna and would Definitely stay again!

Great location & house!
The house was perfect for what my family of 6 needed! They had everything you needed and more! They thought of things and gadgets you wouldn’t have thought of! The inside of the house was very neatly organized and clean and showed pride in ownership! The outside patios were AMAZING! We are our meals on the screened in porch. The kids loved sitting on the swings to relax and enjoy themselves! We loved the location and the house so much we discussed going back sometime!

Came from Florida to see the Amish and Hershey
The home was just as described and was Very quaint , eclectic , clean and appealing. It was a peaceful stay. We enjoyed the swing and spent some time on the porch in the evening playing UNO. We were a little disappointed with the downtown area , the ice cream shop was not open and it appeared to be getting some repairs on the property as well as there wasn’t any other place to visit close by. If you enjoy plenty of down time with peace and quiet this is the place to be.

Peaceful Getaway
We really enjoyed our stay. It was a bit chilly so we didn’t get to take advantage of the screened in porch or the covered deck. We loved the charm and coziness of the house … especially the gas fireplace. We found the beds to be comfortable and the kitchen well stocked! I imagine the warmer months are quite a bit of fun there with plenty to do in walking distance. We would definitely stay here again!

One of the most interesting historic communities in PA
I had some friends stay with me the first weekend to enjoy the Mt. Gretna Outdoor Art show. During the week, I rode my bike on the 15 mile long Lebanon Valley rail trail, walked for miles around the community did a little work using the provided WiFi, and celebrated my birthday with my adult children the last weekend. I would recommend the house and community very highly

Lovely family home
This was such an unexpected surprise. We loved the location and the serene environment. The home itself is cozy and perfect to spend family time on the porch or at the table. The near by lake was a favorite of our daughters and we all enjoyed our sweet treats from Jiggers!

A Perfect Getaway with a View
We absolutely loved our stay here. The home was so thoughtfully appointed with anything we could need and perfectly organized with labels and instructions where appropriate. The furniture and decor were inviting and comfortable. It was the perfect mix of modern amenities with the cozy mt gretna charm. We could tell the host take pride in their home and want their guest to feel comfortable and appreciate all the things they love about this charming place. The view of the lake from the covered porch could not be beat! We loved the proximity to everything too. It was a short, charming walk to the playground, Jiggershop for ice cream, tabernacle for live music, and porch and panty for a lovely breakfast. Spending a day at the lake was the perfect daytime activity. We absolutely recommend this spot. We’re already planning our next trip back.

Everything we needed and more!
We picked this location to be close to things like Hershey Park and Dutch Wonderland. It was the perfect place for our family of two young kids, and our parents. We enjoyed the spacious porch with the lake view. Just a short little walk to a nice playground for the kids and the cute businesses of Mount Gretna. This home has everything we needed! Fans in each bedroom and a few toys for the kids. Definitely recommend this place for a nice family getaway. Enjoy the quiet with the option to head into the chaos of near by towns.
