Lovely cottage in the Woods.

This one story two bedroom property was lovely, clean & comfortable. It had a long, wide, well furnished porch with lighting & fans which made it enjoyable for sitting outside. The kitchen was well equipped. The cottage was nicely decorated with comfortable furniture & beds. All in all a charming refuge in Mt. Gretna.

Cozy Cottage on a Quiet Weekend

We enjoyed our stay at 7 Arches. Everything was as described on the listing and the host was very communicative. We enjoyed our time on the porch and around the table. It is in a great location for exploring the area by foot. It was a chilly and rainy weekend in the fall and we really appreciated all the extra blankets around to cozy up in!

Beautiful property

The place is very tastefully decorated. Be sure and look around. It should be noted the bed in the master is very high. There is a step, but with limited mobility it wasn't ideal, but I managed. I will say the beds were comfortable. We were disappointed that we couldn't use the fireplace that was one of the things we searched for when booking. It was an enjoyable stay in a comfortable place and I would recommend it.

Pam and Geof were fantastic to book with, very responsive.

Traveled to Pennsylvania with parent's and needed a home for three nights. This house is so enchanting and the community is unbelievable. We fell in love with the area and will definitely be back in warmer months to enjoy all of the activities the charming town of Mt. Gretna has to offer. The home is gorgeous and well kept and was super comfortable for us with everything located on the first floor and very few steps. Thank you Pam and Geof for sharing your quaint spot with us. We left with our hearts warm. :)

Great stay, comfortable, quaint and WONDERFUL front porch!

This was rented for a surprise party for my wife. The cottage is out of the way for most Mt. Gretna activities, so we could keep from spoiling the surprise as other guests were in other cottages. It worked, but even if we didn't want to be away from others, we would rent again. It was quiet, close to the Gov. Dick trails, and absolutely the right size for an older couple spending time out. Also the Smith's put a LOT of effort into having a lot of convenient things available in the cottage. It was like being at home...if home was nestled in a cute little village in Pa! Thanks for a wonderful weekend.

It was excellent because it was one floor and just what we needed needed because of handicap issues.

It was rented through the internet. It was just what we were looking for. The only thing that was a bit of a problem was that the shower didn't have any railing for a hand hold.
