Butterfly House Review

We had a lovely time in Mt. Gretna. The cottage was charming, old and creaky as described in the listing, and very, very clean. Everything was provided making our stay very relaxing. We would definitely rent again.

Longtime Childhood Friends Gathering For A Relaxing Weekend

We love Gretna and had a wonderful stay at your charming home! The home is very functional with all of the basics, and cutely decorated. The wine, chocolates, and k-cups were a nice treat! It was very clean, and well organized. The AC and TV's in each bedroom were great! Our favorite thing to do was "Porch Sit", relaxing and catching up with long time friends. We went to the lake, and hit up the Jigger Shop too. Thank you Jason and Marcy.

The cottage fit in very well with the Mt. Gretna aesthetic. Loved the outdoor areas. Back patio felt secluded and enjoyed the gas grill.Picnic table in front porch was perfect alternative when it rained. AC did great job of cooling house. Kitchen was well equipped for our party of 6. Hosts were very responsive and the welcome gift was a nice touch. We would definitely stay at the Butterfly Cottage again. Parking for 2 vehicles is provided. Note that the driveway is tight. If you have a larger vehicle, you’ll want to use the street parking right out front.

Perfect place for a weekend or extended stay

I stayed at Butterfly Cottage for several weeks during a work assignment in the area. Going back to Mount Gretna every evening was much better than a hotel, and the hosts of Butterfly Cottage thoughtful, communicated well and made sure the cottage was clean and well-appointed. I look forward to coming back soon.

Lovely cottage in a fabulous location

Our group of 4 (2 adults and 2 older teens) had a wonderful time at the butterfly cottage, which had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were within walking distance of Gretna Theater and the beach, and enjoyed learning about the history of the area. We hope to make a return trip!
