About this property

Big house, big yard, close to everything in Mount Gretna!

Welcome to Happy Landing Bungalow!
It’s a large house with a huge yard. Feel like you are in the country but be close to everything.
The Hide-A-Way restaurant is a stones throw away, the Jigger Shop a comfortable walk. Gretna lake, roller rink and rails to trails a short drive.
The house offers four bedrooms, WI-FI, Cable TV, Smart TVs, Sauna in the Primary Bedroom and a bathtub in the Primary Bathroom. The lower level is handicap friendly, featuring a walk in bathtub, a kitchenette, a queen size sleeper sofa, a large flat screen tv, and a twin size trundle bed in the adjacent room.
The house and grounds also boast a creek, gazebo, decks, and a large covered porch, and lots of parking!!!
It’s close to Hershey, Lancaster, Lebanon, and Harrisburg, with a short 30 mins. to the Harrisburg airport.
For those first time guests that are not familiar with Mount Gretna, Happy Landing and all of Mount Gretna is served by our local volunteer fire department located a stone’s throw from the house, just across the street from the Hide-A-Way Restaurant. It is not uncommon for the siren to sound at any time of day or night. There is no reason to be alarmed if it goes off during your stay as it is the way that the fire company alerts the volunteers that a call has come in that they may need to respond. We appreciate your understanding.

Really enjoyed the close proximity to the nearby restaurant! The firehouse alarm did sound a couple of times during our stay, but we were prepared for that, so it was no big deal. The home suited our needs perfectly.

We stay here for a long weekend in October and it's become an annual event! The house is big, comfortable and well stocked for any kitchen, bath, and family fun needs. We brought a few different family friends than had typically come in the past and they loved it too! Looking forward to next year! Thanks Kimberly!

House was definitely large and had plenty of space for everyone. Community the house is in seemed very laid back and relaxed and having a restaurant with great food less than a 5 min walk away was great. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Family Visit to Hershey Park

We had a great time during our stay in Mount Gretna. Besides the Hershey Park fun we also enjoyed a self guided Covered Bridge tour, the Yuengling Factory tour and Ice Cream at the Ice Cream place in town....and the decks on the house were great...

Lots of room

Photos don’t do justice to actual property. Multiple conversational areas in the home plus the huge, covered porch created a homey, comfortable and inviting atmosphere. We incurred a couple problems that were immediately addressed by the owner. We all loved the Mt. Gretna area. Had a great time exploring the surrounding areas over the five days. Loved being able to walk to The Hideaway for meals, drinks, and live music.

This property is so beautiful and so well located. Everything that you would need and then some is provided. We've been coming for a long weekend in October for several years. I mentioned looking at other nearby houses for a change of scenery but NO ONE in the group wanted to stay anywhere else!

Comfortable, spacious home, great location!

We loved staying here! Wonderful home. All contact with the host, though little was necessary, was positive and timely. The only negative I would say is that you are almost forced to purchase renter's insurance; the alternative is paying a very hefty security deposit.

Perfect for our needs

We needed a place that would sleep a lot of people as we were traveling to a big lacrosse tournament with three locations with another family. This place was perfectly situated between the three fields we needed to be at and gave both families the space we needed to be comfortable. This is an annual tournament and we will definitely be looking to book again next year!

Very unique and wonderful house

We stayed here for my sister’s wedding with our grown children and nephew. The place gave everyone the space they needed and was very comfortable. I did not need to contact anyone for help as everything was exactly as described. There is so much more we wanted to do, we just did not have enough time. We would love to go back!

Quaint

Everyone thought the place was a perfect fit for us. We were able to head to the Renaissance Faire for the day and when we got back, walked over to Mr. Gretna Hideaway for dinner and drinks. After that we were able to enjoy each others company by hanging out in the living area and screened in porch. It was also mentioned that the place was very well built because we couldn’t hear each other snoring through the walls….haha! The house was well equipped and had everything we needed during our stay!

Beautiful home great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The home is perfect for the three generations that stayed here during our trip to Hershey Park. Can really spread out with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms! We enjoyed sitting out on the upper deck, and relaxing in the living room after a day of sun and rides. The downstairs reminded me in many ways of my childhood. The local fire fighters were kind enough to show my three year old grandson their fire trucks. Just a lovely, graceful place that brings you back to a better time, yet with all modern conveniences. We were minutes away from Hershey and would love the opportunity to stay again sometime. Thank you for your hospitality.
