This was my second time at this cottage and hope to stay again. It rained the whole time! But, with such a cozy place to read and relax, listen to the rain and enjoy the ambiance it was lovely. I walked for a nice dinner at the Hideaway. I walked to Mt Gretna Mercantile for a few treats and always enjoy chatting with the sweet owners. I had an incredible lunch at Porch and Pantry. All without getting in my car. I highly recommend!

Nice cabin
The property was adorable! The town was beautiful and plenty of places to hike. The only down fall was sirens going off through the night and people hollaring. The oven did not work so that was a bummer. Also not the best heating, the woodstove didnt work and the up stairs two bedrooms did not have heat. But everything else was really nice and had a great time.

Cute cottage
Excellent location. Check in was good. It could have been cleaner, there were dust bunnies on the stairs, and there was dirt on my clean socks when I walked from one bedroom to the other. We were told to bring our own paper products but it didn’t say anything about trash bags. It also would have been great if trash bags were supplied. It made check out a hassle.

Cozy cottage!
It was a great stay. The only want would be for a cozy couch to snuggle on! This place is great to relax, we stayed for the Renaissance Faire which was conveniently 10m away at Mt Hope Estate. We love Mt Gretna and would be happy to stay here again.
