Very well kept very relaxing i'm glad I was able to book the residents Thanks
My wife and I stayed here for a week. It was a very comfortable, charming place to stay. The fenced backyard was perfect for our dogs. This was one our favorite places to stay.
Perfect for our time in Mechanicsburg celebrating our daughter’s college graduation. The house had everything needed to make it a wonderful stay. Thank you!
The Garden Cottage was the perfect stay for me, my husband and our 2 dogs. The times I messaged Kathy she was responsive in a timely manner. We loved it there and would stay again in the future.
This is the third time my wife and I have stayed at Kathy's cottage in the last six months. We love it, especially for the outdoor space for our puppy. Always clean, always easy in and out, great place to stay!
The house was perfect for my brother, my dog, and myself, nice big backyard for the dog. The beds were comfortable and the patio was perfect for sitting outside. I would recommend it to anyone.
Really lovely house with an amazing garden space. The kitchen was fully stocked and the beds were comfortable. The house had a very homey feel and was a great space to wind down at the end of the day. Great location made for easy trips to Harrisburg, Hershey, Gettysburg, and Lancaster. Really appreciated the house being dog friendly, they also enjoyed their vacation.
My husband and I stayed here so that we could be near my dad as we had to care for him after a hospital stay. The house was such a nice place to come back to relax. We brought our 2 pups along and they enjoyed the back yard. Kathy was very accommodating and a great host. We are looking forward to staying here again.
We were in central PA for vacation. This was a great home base for our trip. Clean and nice place to stay. Every amenity we could think of was in the house. Clean nice neighborhood. Close to all attractions from Williams Grove to Hershey Park. We also Visited Washington DC and Gettysburg. Pictures are accurate and show the house in detail.
We Love the cottage! This was our 2nd stay. Kathy definitely makes this home feel warm & welcoming. You need to bring nothing with you when you come to visit. The beautiful yard is the selling point for us. The dog feels right at home,especially with the doggie door.
This place had everything I could think of, the outdoor space is amazing, lots of plants and animals. We saw 3 baby bunnies, a nest with 2 babies. We sat out every morning with coffee and after dark the grounds had solar lights and a gas fire. It was beautiful. We were in town for the Carlisle Ford Nationals, I am not a car enthusiast but this place made my time so enjoyable. I loved it and hope to go back with the dog and grandbaby!!
This is our 2nd time staying at this location. It has a cozy quaint feeling yet is large enough to host a family dinner when we are in town. The basement area and bathroom were redone since our last visit and it looked very nice! The sitting area off of the dining room really makes you feel like this home has 3 living rooms! The neighbors beside this property have a few dogs and they were so friendly and curious as were our dogs. Hope to stay again when we come back in town for a visit!
