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!
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!
Beautifully decorated for the holidays, so much charm and amenities through the whole house. Will consider another stay here for sure.

We were so happy to host you and your family for the holidays! The owners love Christmas, and always decorate the home beautifully to celebrate. We are so glad you enjoyed it and would love for you to come again anytime!
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!
The cottage was very comfortable with great lighting for reading. Very tastefully decorated with all the comforts of home. Will stay there again!

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!
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!
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.

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.
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.
We had everything we needed to feed 14 people for Thanksgiving! Comfortable, cozy home!

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

This cottage is an ideal location for the Art Show - right along the path of artists! We are glad to hear you found check-in easy and enjoyed yourselves at this beautiful cottage. We hope you come to stay again very soon!
SO many good things about this place - fab front porch: great enclosed side porch for eating; fans in both those areas; quality appliances and kitchenware for eating/ cooking; good lights for reading in living area; walking distance of all the "hot" spots; nicely cleaned; lots of helpful explanations, neatly typed, around equipment in the house; wonderful old hinges and doorknobs to add charm; a fun hunt to find the bedroom closets (at first I thought there weren't any); linen and towels provided; parking area at back of house plus 2 passes for the street; total house AC that worked beautifully, etc. Would stay again!

Furnished to be clear of clutter, comfortable, and homey - with an historic ode to Mount Gretna, modern upgrades, and all the space a large group needs when traveling.
As a guest of several of Penn Realty's cottages and a regular visitor of Mount Gretna, we can tell this cottage just became your favorite. Your review is so helpful to future guests and is really appreciated. We look forward to your stay next summer!
Great location with short walking distance to The Jigger Shop, Gretna Playhouse and Porch & Pantry. Kitchen has everything you need! Relaxing covered porch to watch the birds and squirrels.

Mount Gretna is known for its elaborate, living-room style wrap-around porches, surrounded by trees. We love to hear that you had a relaxing stay. Thanks for being great guests!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The property description and home were exactly as advertised. We also found it neat that the owners provided a history of the home in a photo book. 10/10.

Lovely house for a family weekend trip. This is a well-maintained and comfortable house with a beautiful porch. The location was excellent and the house included everything we needed. Thank you!

We would love for you to come again anytime! We are not sure which patio you thought was small. The porch stretches the entire back side of the cottage, and the side patio is a very nice size, too! This cottage even has a large outdoor, screened-in dining room with lots of room for guests to gather. Thinking maybe that was a typo ; ) Thanks for the 5-star review!
We really enjoyed our stay. It was a bit chilly so we didn’t get to take advantage of the screened in porch or the covered deck. We loved the charm and coziness of the house … especially the gas fireplace. We found the beds to be comfortable and the kitchen well stocked! I imagine the warmer months are quite a bit of fun there with plenty to do in walking distance. We would definitely stay here again!
