Spacious clean and comfortable

Big home with all the essentials you would need including very comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, and comfortable seating areas. The only thing I would change is having another room with twin beds or bunk beds in it instead of a queen bed so that multiple children could sleep there independently. Everything is in walking distance. The owner was easy to work with and answered my questions in a timely manner. We enjoyed it very much!

Great Family Vacation

Host was very easy to communicate with. I had a few questions and she responded quickly. The house is a bit older but in great condition. Five bedrooms allowed everyone to have their own bed. Very close to Jigger Shop and Pizza. The lake is close and the kids loved it. Will definitely come back.

A wonderful experience. This place is awesome. It was a 5 . We had 3 families and we were all happy. The master bedroom is well worth the stay. It is centrally located for all the fun in the area. The town is awesome as well. We plan to come back next year and I will definitely stay here . Everything was superb. The host is wonderful as well. Keep up the good work.

Great house for our extended family. Only problem was the mold on the air conditioning units that kept them from being used.

Family gathering

We needed lodging for out-of-town family coming for my father's funeral and were also hoping for a place where additional out-of-town family could gather after the funeral. The house proved perfect for both. The large, open main floor has abundant comfortable seating that was perfect for visiting together. Our host was very kind and accommodating. The bedrooms are large and comfortable including a huge master suite. The house is older (it's a historical site) and a little quirky in a delightful way.

Adoption Party Trip Muhlenberg Cottage

This was a beautiful older property. We loved all the character of the house! There was plenty of space for everyone, and it had everything we needed for the adults and kids. My 7-year-old granddaughter said she wants to move to PA and buy the house when she grows up, lol.

Ponderosa Posse visiting PA

The Muhlenberg Cottage was perfect for our ladies trip to visit PA - it was centrally located and offered everything we needed. There was plenty of room for our group of seven, we could all sit around the table for dinner, conversation and games. The centrally located Cottage made it easy for our daily excursions to visit the beautiful area. Thank you, Emily, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Muhlenberg Cottage stay

We enjoyed a fantastic, fun-filled, weekend at the Cottage. Emily was great to work with. Quickly responded to the two questions we had during our stay. The Cottage had plenty of space to spread out and to enjoy a quiet conversation, some outdoor patio time, or the big screen Tv to watch football. The bedrooms were perfect, with comfortable beds. A great time was had during our 2024 cousins’ weekend. Thank you

Groomers getaway

The house was a lot larger than exoected. The layout was perfect. Everyone could be together but still be in their own space. The porch was perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks. We were there for the grooming expo so unfortunately didn't get to spend a lot of time at the house but we would all like to come back. Upon arriving you may feel like you are in the middle of nowhere ( which is great) but there are so many quaint shops and restaurants within a 10 minute or less drive. The large driveway was a huge plus.

The location was perfect, offering easy access to local attractions while still providing a peaceful retreat. Check-in was a breeze, with clear instructions and a seamless process.

Spacious

The house was very large and spacious. Everything was clean with nice furnishings. The kitchen had dishes, glasses, silverware, some pans and utensils. We cooked most of our meals there. We brought our own crock pot and disposable aluminum foil pans for casseroles. We brought our son, daughter-in-law and three grandchildren. We visited the Mt. Gretna lake and beach which was a nice family beach, the Lake Tobias Wildlife Park, Indian Echo Cavern, and Turkey Hill Experience which were all within an easy driving distance. It was a very nice family vacation.
