Charming Cottage in the woods

We enjoyed our stay very much! The cottage was comfortable and filled with lovely old furniture. It was within walking distance of all the activities we had planned. The porch was a great place to sit at any time of day or night.

Tranquil Get Away

An amazing getaway for a fun girl’s weekend. The porch is absolutely inviting. We loved the tranquility of Mt Gretna. The house offered all the amenities needed, plus lots of amazing antiques and details. The check in process was simple and parking was available for everyone in our group. Perfectly located to walk to Hideaway and Jigger Shop. We even got a visit from a sweet neighbor. Come ready to relax and forget about stress! We felt like we were whisked away to a fairy garden.

Relaxing

We stayed here during our vacation to Hershey it was so relaxing to come home to! Super easy and quick commute. When we first got there our key had gotten mixed up and we couldn't get in but the owners were super fast to bring us the correct key even though it was after hours around 6pm. There was plenty of supplies to cook with. The kids were never bored and theres only one small tv but they didn't even watch it they went outside to play which is totally not like them 😅 no complaints at all! My son is already asking if we can go back and just live there. Oh, most of the outlets upstairs are only 2 prong instead of 3, it is an older home, but I didn't think about that before we left and had to charge our phones downstairs but other than that perfect!

Quaint cottage in lovely neighborhood

Really cute place. Lots of nooks & cranies to explore. Don't miss the bench in the living room that opens up to a ton of games. Wrap around porch is gorgeous. Very friendly people in the town. We had an issue with plumbing close to 11pm & the owners picked up the phone right away. They got a plumber out first thing the next morning to take care of it. Very impressed. If the town is running an outdoor walking play - go. It's awesome. And make sure to go to Porch & Pantry to eat. A bit expensive, but SO worth it. Make a reservation though. Cons: It did smell musty when we got there, but opening the windows for a bit helped. You have to bring bedding & I would recommend bringing comforters too. Bring hand soap for the sinks too. No privacy for adults. The walls don't go all the way up so sound travels. So don't expect romance if you're not alone. The houses are practically on top of each other. This didn't bother us, but it was unexpected. Overall I highly recommend this property.

Quaint, well-priced, cozy accommodations.

We stayed here while attending the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. It was a nice little location nestled in a cute community. Pricing was reasonable for the accommodations. The wrap around porch was really cute. The kitchen had endless tools, silverware and containers/serving pieces. I will say, the older decor was a little spooky for a group of millennials not super well-versed in antiquing, but since we stayed at the end of September it fit the season. :) A few things to note: - There is no privacy upstairs as the walls are open at the top. We could all hear each other chatting before sleep, etc. If I had realized this ahead of time, I would have brought my noise machine and headphones to sleep. I don't think this is super clear in the listing (maybe I just skimmed over it?). - The water pressure in the shower was not great. The other thing to note: the local area is really cute and clearly very community oriented which means there are HUGE speed bumps all over the place. Our low-riding Prius full of people bottomed out a few times. If your car rides lower than ours, be ware.

Historical cottage in cute walkable neighborhood.

Get ready to be immersed in history and antiques in this adorable cottage in Mt Gretna! Removed from the modern world, traffic, the city as well as modern conveniences. We love antiques & the wraparound porch, had a little issue with the mildew/mold and had to open all the windows & doors during our stay. Remember to bring your own hair dryer, iron or steamer & charger banks. All bedrooms are located upstairs & don’t have modern electrical outlets & not a lot of lights. Recommend arriving well before dark as it can be a bit difficult to find your way around plugging in lamps & AC units. The beds are all pretty small- I think they are all doubles so be mindful when booking. Met some very friendly neighbors & had a lovely weekend! Stairs are not suitable to the 2nd floor for the very young or people with mobility issues. I’m healthy and fit and almost took a tumble- very narrow, no handrails all the way up and extremely short deck. Just be cautious and enjoy it for what it is. The neighborhood is full of birds and the lake is a super short drive. WiFi is listed on the description but it was not operable during our stay. The surrounding neighborhood is adorable and there’s a pizzeria and ice cream shop at the bottom of the hill. We came in for a mother/ daughter weekend so we were fine with the beds etc.

Mt gretna charm

The house feels like an antique collector dream. It's got lots of antiques everywhere! Fits into mt gretna charm. We loved the deck and spent alot of time there. The house is a bit dark inside. If you're tall def look at the beds. They are all full size. The basic necessities are not there. You need to bring them yourself - sheets, towels, paper goods, shampoo, conditioner. The shower is also a very small stall shower.

"Wooded Wonder" is a wonderful cottage-bungalow in the woods

Delightful bungalow loaded with old-world charm, style and atmosphere. Nestled among other beautiful cottages in the woods, the expansive wrap-around porch and period furnishings make this a time capsule to be enjoyed and savored in a relaxed and reflective setting. The owner has done an amazing job of furnishing and decorating the cottage with a keen eye to authentic details. Commendable. And worth your time to just "set a spell" on the porch among the wooded wonder of Mt Gretna Campmeeting. We enjoyed dinner at The Timbers and at The Hideaway.

Great location poor amenities

Great location, spacious however, no soap had to bring sheets and towels and toilet paper. No coffee it was just lacking for the price of two nights a hotel would have covered these basic services.

Quaint and Comfortable

The best parts about this cottage are its location in Camp Meeting, which is a quaint, quiet, wooded, camp-like community, walkable to dining and family friendly events, the wrap around porch, and the time period decor. The sleeping arrangements with 4 mixed gender teens were a challenge, but if your teen/preteen, our you (parent) don't mind taking the couch, there is plenty of room for 6 guests like is in this cottage. There is only one shower, so planning bathing times is important unless some of your group prefer baths. The house was tidy upon our arrival and since we're tidy people, it wasn't difficult to follow the check out requirements to avoid "extra fees for not taking out the garbage or putting away the clean dishes from the drying rack". Since we brought our own sheets and towels, we did that part, too, so I am dissatisfied with the high fee included (and "not negotiable" as I inquired. Without that high cleaning fee, I would write that the price matched the accommodations. Truly, the location made the stay magical, so it is easy to overlook small bothers. We opened the windows as we don't like AC and the "musty smell" (which is normal of an older home in the woods) was not so bothersome. One should expect higher prices for the area restaurants as well as a $24/adult fee for day access to the lake and beach, which was not explained on the listing. I have already let family know that we should come back and stay again, but I will plan for a cot or two.

Would not do again.

Interesting walk back in time however, strong musty smell throughout the whole house. No pre-warning of size of beds when we were required to bring our own sheets and towels. Interior stairs seriously under code. A danger to older folks and young children. No railing for part of the staircase. Received splinters from holding onto the paneling On the way down. Uncomfortable.

Not comfortable

The house is dark and worn. Much of the furniture has seen better days with sagging seats and ripped upholstery. Upstairs bedrooms have 3/4 walls that make it more of a dormer. If one person snores, all will hear it. The door to the upstairs bathroom is very difficult to open and close. The downstairs bathroom (with a shower) is very small and dark. The tv is very small. We were in town for a wedding, so luckily we did not have to spend much time in the house.

Great, unique, relaxing get away place

The house and the community are very unique and provided a great place for our family to have a retreat away as we spent time hiking, reading, relaxing and enjoying nearby Hershey park. Front porch was a favorite spot for our family! Neighbors were friendly and helpful. The listed twin bed was shorter than a regular twin bed but all the beds were comfortable. Be aware that you need bring small kitchen trash bags, paper products, sheets, and towels. Overall, we had a great time!
