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.

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!

Great location & house!

The house was perfect for what my family of 6 needed! They had everything you needed and more! They thought of things and gadgets you wouldn’t have thought of! The inside of the house was very neatly organized and clean and showed pride in ownership! The outside patios were AMAZING! We are our meals on the screened in porch. The kids loved sitting on the swings to relax and enjoy themselves! We loved the location and the house so much we discussed going back sometime!

Came from Florida to see the Amish and Hershey

The home was just as described and was Very quaint , eclectic , clean and appealing. It was a peaceful stay. We enjoyed the swing and spent some time on the porch in the evening playing UNO. We were a little disappointed with the downtown area , the ice cream shop was not open and it appeared to be getting some repairs on the property as well as there wasn’t any other place to visit close by. If you enjoy plenty of down time with peace and quiet this is the place to be.

Peaceful Getaway

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!

One of the most interesting historic communities in PA

I had some friends stay with me the first weekend to enjoy the Mt. Gretna Outdoor Art show. During the week, I rode my bike on the 15 mile long Lebanon Valley rail trail, walked for miles around the community did a little work using the provided WiFi, and celebrated my birthday with my adult children the last weekend. I would recommend the house and community very highly
