In love with fall.
Reminded us of grandma’s house, cozy and familiar with great views of the fall foliage. Kitchen served us well. Only main issue was the radiator heat not cooperating in one bedroom. We also did not expect the driveway to be so steep; AWD/4WD vehicles that sit high are a must, your average sedan is going to have a tough time.

Older home needing updates and cleaning
This home has a welcoming screened porch and most of the time we were there was spent enjoying nature out there. Kitchen is well stocked and enhances fixing meals at home. Location is great for exploring Hershey. Owner/manager promptly responded with kindness and good solution to our problems. Home needs cleaning-shower curtain-mold at top and bottom, shower doors-mold at opening, refrigerator food and meat juices debris left, furniture and master bed need update-uncomfortable, “clean” dish towels smelled sour-maybe left in washer too long, dirty towels were left in washer as well as some trash in cans when we arrived, bathtub needs a scrubbing, and house has pet odors although website does say pet friendly home.

Nice Getaway!
It was our very first time to Mt. Gretna, and it was great! The house was lovely, very comfortable, and very convenient. Our group consisted of my husband, myself, our son and daughter-in-law, and 17 year-old grandson. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely, and our only disappointment was that we could not stay longer, since it was fully booked before our dates and after our dates. Next time, we will know to book earlier. Again, we had a wonderful time and thank our host for sharing their beautiful home with us!

Lovely cabin!
A lovely cabin in the Mt Gretna woods - near the lake and the shops! Very toddler friendly (much appreciated) and functional! The grill ran out of propane on the second night and we thought there could have been more attention to the cleanliness of the entry way porch. Otherwise a nice break for our family! Thank you!

Tranquil Cottage in Lovely Mt. Gretna
This was our 2nd stay in this lovely cottage. Our family particularly loved spending time on the enclosed porch. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils. The indoor dining area will seat 8. Beds were comfortable. Two of the upstairs bedrooms have portable air conditioners and the master bedroom has a permanently installed unit. Other than being a little loud, the portable units worked well, even in the 90+ degree days we had. (You do need to bring your own bedding and towels, or purchase a separate package from the rental agency.) Mt. Gretna and the surrounding area has a lot to see and do. We highly recommend both Mt. Gretna and this lovely cottage.
