Eliza Mae Cottage Stay
Our family stayed but we were visited by extended family between 7 and 77 for Thanksgiving. We had a wonderful time. There was plenty of room and we all enjoyed the antiques and holiday decor. This is a sweet, homey location and there is attention paid to the needs of little ones. It also has a wonderfully equipped kitchen that was great for hosting. The kitchen is compact, but has everything from pie plates to platters to a dishwasher and washer and dryer as well as pantry basics. Our family cooks most meals together so the set up was just what we needed. We have stayed in vrbos from Louisiana to New York and this is one of our favorites. Many thanks to Marianne who checked on us regularly even though I always have a little trouble with Vrbo messaging. Many thanks for a great stay!

Magical cottage
We really enjoyed our stay here. The town was like nothing I’ve ever seen only maybe in a movie or a storybook. I can’t describe in words how beautiful it was. You have to see in in person to believe it. The cottage was so beautiful and quaint. The porch was so relaxing. There was a koi pond and a magical fairy garden in front. The house had everything you could possibly need. I packed things I thought I would need to find everything there already! And the owner was so sweet! I would definitely stay here again in the future and recommend it to all my friends. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you for a wonderful time! We loved it!

Sisters Fall Retreat
We loved staying at Eliza Mae Cottage. I have 3 sisters and every Fall we choose a place to vacation together. This is our first year at Mt Gretna and we loved it ! The cottage was adorable with a wonderful porch, well stocked kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and a great location. We had fun walking through Mt Gretna enjoying the shady streets and looking at all the unique cottages and gardens. Sitting on the porch reading, talking , reminiscing and laughing was great fun! We will be coming back next year . Thanks Marianne.
