The booking and checking in was excellent with Penn Realty! Ashley was responsive and wonderful! The house was beautiful and perfect for our big family. The screened in porch was ideal for meals and evening chats, and the front porch seating was super comfortable. The porch swings were a big hit with our kids. The house was fabulous and we will stay again!!!
Had the most wonderful and relaxing vacation. The front porch was the star of our trip. Woke up every morning and had coffee on the porch and spent every night before bed on the porch. Saw deer just about every morning right in front of the porch. The house was lovely. Had everything we needed and more. Kept the charm of the past with all the modern consciences. We are already planning a stay next year.
The stay was perfect for us! There were eight of us, and plenty of room to be together as well as to have quiet spaces. The kitchen is well equipped. The location is walkable, the town is cute, The views of the lake are beautiful from the huge porch. Highly recommend!
Such an ideal place to kick off your shoes and relax. The house is so well equipped. Beautiful scenery, away from the busy city life. The porch was our favorite. Loved just sitting in the swing and admiring the lake. Just a 20 min drive to Hershey park, museum and restaurants. Oh and the wildlife was fun to watch too.
Beautifully decorated for the holidays, so much charm and amenities through the whole house. Will consider another stay here for sure.

As a regular guest of Mount Gretna, we just knew you would love this cottage. The owners wanted to make it feel like home, and it has such a great location in the center of Mount Gretna's Chautauqua neighborhood. Thanks for being such good guests. We would love for you to comeback soon!
This home is so charming and cozy with so many personal touches. Kitchen is well stocked and organized. The porches offered areas to play games and watch the birds at the bird feeder. We wanted to explore the area more, but we were content in our home away from home.So relaxing and a stress free stay! We will definitely book again!
We enjoyed our stay.
Beds were very comfortable. Very clean and location was perfect! Much of our time was spent on the porch! Lovely home

Thanks so much, LuAnn! The owners want their guests to feel at home when they are at their cottage. They are happy to host families & know lots of memories were made together that will last a lifetime.
We had an excellent stay in Mount Gretna! The host provided a very detailed and helpful guide to the property, which we greatly appreciated. It gave us a complete overview of what to expect inside the rental, how to access the property, and answered any questions we had. The property was very clean and had everything we needed.We loved spending time on the patio. It was peaceful listening to the birds, and we even saw a flying squirrel one night. It was so nice to park once and then walk everywhere we wanted to go.We will definitely be back and would love to stay here again in the future!
We had such a great family reunion here and would love to stay again. Our daughter loved the porch and the location to see the lake. We were in walking distance to the playground which was a bonus. The house was very clean and well designed.

The huge porch really stands out! We love that you had a family reunion at the cottage, and hope lots of memories were made during your stay. We would host you and your family again anytime. Thanks for being great guests.
Quiet, beautiful cabin near the lake. Modern kitchen with a great stock of equipment and dishes. Amazing covered porch and screened-in dining room. Comfortable beds and refreshing bathrooms. Lots of toys and games for the kids were a great bonus!
Great cottage for our boys and their families. Loved having the front porch and the tennis courts right across the street. The screened in porch was perfect for working during the day.
Great property with plenty of room and a wonderful screened in porch. The master bedroom and bath were huge with lots of room and two sinks. Check-in was very easy and the pictures and house info was very accurate. We love Mont Gretna and would
Definitely stay again!

Our stay was very comfortable from all aspects. The cottage is cozy, homey, and well appointed. Very comfortable bedrooms and plenty of space for the 4 of us. It was fascinating to see the history and renovation of the cottage in one of the photo albums and it made us appreciate the rental even more.Good communication with the host, questions were quickly answered and with the pending snow storm on Sunday, we were offered an extension to our stay if needed. A!
What a gem! We stayed here while attending a tournament at Spooky Nook. Everything we needed and more. We even hosted our team for a pizza dinner. Other families were so appreciative of the space and amenities. Welcoming vibe, fully-stocked kitchen. It was wonderful. Beds are comfy. AC works well and each bedroom has overhead fans. Owner was super responsive and always responded quickly. Highly, highly recommend!
