Nice house close to everything!
The house had all the conveniences of home. Within walking distance of the Tabernacle, Jigger Shop, Playhouse, tennis courts, the Hideaway & playground. Rails to Trails within 1 mile. The parking spot in back of the house is a bit tight but ok for a smaller car. I would recommend bringing bottled water.

Didn't get to stay
A few hours before check-in, after packing and loading the cars, and just as we were about to leave, I got a message from the property manager letting me know, on a record breaking 100°day, that the air conditioning was broken and she would let me know when she had an appointment time.
I contacted VRBO because it wasn't acceptable to not have AC.
I got a call from the owner, Frank. We discussed the situation and he agreed to refund my money.
I truly appreciate the resolution and the involvement of the owner.
The home looks lovely and we were so disappointed that it didn't work out. I would try to stay in the home in the future.
My only disappointment was that even though
the AC was out for a few days, the property manager didn't let me know until I was about to walk out the door. She apologized and said she didn't realize it was still broken until then.
So, although we didn't get to enjoy a stay in this adorable cottage, the way my situation was ultimately handled makes me want to pursue a stay in the future.

Mt Gretna Holly House
Absolutely wonderful stay with family and grandchildren. House was loaded with that old Mt Gretna character. Fully furnish and extremely well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. Never ran out of anything! The kitchen was up to date and spotless... even a trash compactor!! Plenty of shelf space for your personal foods. Tons of dishes, silverware, pots, pans and baking sheets. Iot was very easy to cook for 8 and clean up. The entire house and property was very clean and fresh… I want to emphasize that. AC was perfect, and they even had fans in the bedrooms!! Everything worked. Big screen Hi Res TV, WiFi, all kitchen appliances. Plenty of hot water for showers after day at beach. Well-lit house. The porch was outstanding... table and chairs, old fashion swing, even a hammock, couch and chairs with coffee table. Sit and relax, read or play games and or eat with a great view. Loved the sidewalk accent lights and the American flag flying out front!! The children’s playground was across the street, one block walk to the Jigger Shop, Playhouse. All the little details were taken care of... like tissues in every room, extra TP, paper towels, fully stocked laundry room, even extra toothpaste in bathroom!! Had a ton of fun staying here with our family. Very safe and road patrolled by police. We had a truly wonderful, hassle-free vacation. My wife and I were very impressed with this property and will book again in a heartbeat.

The CUTEST cottage!
This cottage is nestled right between the trees! It was perfect for our family of 6. During our stay, the AC unit had malfunctioned and Ashley and Frank came to the rescue to try to fix it for us. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a quick fix, but they supplied us with a window unit for the downstairs and multiple fans for the upstairs. It was clean and had everything we needed for a great stay. Even a board game of Monopoly that was from 1936! If we’re ever in the area again, we will be back to stay!
