Cozy Mount Gretna Chautauqua Cottage near Hershey with treehouse porch

Tucked among the trees in the heart of historic Mount Gretna, this charming 2-bedroom cottage offers the perfect blend of vintage character and cozy comfort. Perched high above the street, the oversized front porch feels like your own private treehouse retreat — the kind of place where mornings begin slowly with coffee in hand and evenings end with the soft sounds of music drifting from the nearby Playhouse.

Inside, the cottage is filled with warm French Quarter-inspired décor, eclectic artwork, and timeless Mount Gretna charm. The fully equipped kitchen is stocked with everything you need for cooking, entertaining, or enjoying a quiet night in. The home also includes high-speed internet, a washer and dryer, and one full bath plus an additional half bath for added convenience.

The porch is truly the highlight of the home — spacious, peaceful, and surrounded by mature trees that make you feel tucked away from the world while still being steps from all Mount Gretna has to offer.

LINEN POLICY: Fresh linens are provided for your stay, and the linen/laundry fee is already included in the total cost of your reservation. There is no additional charge for linens after booking.

Whether you're visiting for a weekend getaway, a Playhouse performance, lake days, or simply to unwind on the porch beneath the trees, this cottage offers a uniquely cozy Mount Gretna experience filled with charm, character, and comfort.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

The place was eclectic. Not as clean as I typically like to see. However maybe I just expect it to be zero dust bunnies under the bed so maybe I am just too picky., but it is an older cabin so maybe a bit of dust is to be expected. It is very unique and had various antiques and pictures of NOLA so it was like a treasure hunt. Parking is not ideal but doable. The area was very nice and I would have loved to enjoy some of the trails but was not there for that, so maybe another time. Hosts are very kind and responsive.

This is a cozy cottage high up in the trees. I’ve stayed in Gretna before and have always enjoyed it. This cottage was a bit more remote, which is perfect for peace and serenity. The cottage decor was enjoyable. I think with a few updates and ongoing cleaning and maintenance this cottage would be perfect.

Early Summer Getaway

We absolutely adored staying at this adorable cottage. We were looking for an authentic Gretna experience and that’s exactly what we got. From the carefully curated antiques to the peaceful perfection of the wraparound porch, my partner and I got the rest, relaxation, and regeneration we sought out.

Our family was looking for a weekend get-a-way as a substitute for our vacation bc of COVID. This place was just the ticket. A great location near a bike path/lake and loved spending time on the wrap-around deck. Thank you, William!

If you like rustic, well-worn comfort, you’ll love this property located in an intimate community of cottages straddling a densely wooded mountainside. Access is a bit rough, and there are steep stairs to the porch and between floors inside as well. But the porch is heavenly, a place to relax and commune cheek to jowl with nature.

Big city respite

This little cottage was fabulous! The interior was comfortable and cute. There was a little play area upstairs. The beds were cozy, but not quite long enough if you're over 5'10". I Loved the porch! We'll definitely return if we get the chance.

Cute cottage

Loved the colorful, funky kitchen and interesting collection of vintage furniture and decor. The wooded surroundings were beautiful, felt like we were in a treehouse when we sat on the porch. The narrow stairs were difficult for an elderly relative to navigate, but since they we’re staying elsewhere it wasn’t a problem.

Perfect place, Perfect Location

The cottage is in a very picturesque community. It's very quiet and the trees and rhododendrons make it feel like you're in a tree house. The location is really good if you're going into Hershey, Harrisburg or Lancaster county.. The cottage had many antiques and was decorated wonderfully. The beds were a bit small and the couch a bit thin, but allowances can be given for the décor. Overall, I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Great peaceful cottage in the woods

I loved relaxing on the large porch in the mornings with a cup of coffee. The cottage was exactly as advertised. My only complaints were that we were expected to bring our own sheets, which seemed strange to me, and there was no hand soap in the upstairs bathroom. Otherwise it was a great stay and I would definitely stay again.

We loved the location, learning about the area, and thoroughly enjoyed the funkiness of this home. Being the first fall-season guests, we had trouble locating which house and how to get to it because it was already dark outside when we arrived. The owner was quick to answer the phone and help us out. These are not negative items but if you're not able to maneuver steps or have trouble with uneven ground, this rental may not be a good choice for you. The beauty and uniqueness of the setting and home come with outside and inside stairs to conquer and uneven ground/pathways.
