A wonderful experience. This place is awesome. It was a 5 . We had 3 families and we were all happy. The master bedroom is well worth the stay. It is centrally located for all the fun in the area. The town is awesome as well. We plan to come back next year and I will definitely stay here . Everything was superb. The host is wonderful as well. Keep up the good work.

Family gathering

We needed lodging for out-of-town family coming for my father's funeral and were also hoping for a place where additional out-of-town family could gather after the funeral. The house proved perfect for both. The large, open main floor has abundant comfortable seating that was perfect for visiting together. Our host was very kind and accommodating. The bedrooms are large and comfortable including a huge master suite. The house is older (it's a historical site) and a little quirky in a delightful way.

Adoption Party Trip Muhlenberg Cottage

This was a beautiful older property. We loved all the character of the house! There was plenty of space for everyone, and it had everything we needed for the adults and kids. My 7-year-old granddaughter said she wants to move to PA and buy the house when she grows up, lol.

Ponderosa Posse visiting PA

The Muhlenberg Cottage was perfect for our ladies trip to visit PA - it was centrally located and offered everything we needed. There was plenty of room for our group of seven, we could all sit around the table for dinner, conversation and games. The centrally located Cottage made it easy for our daily excursions to visit the beautiful area. Thank you, Emily, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Muhlenberg Cottage stay

We enjoyed a fantastic, fun-filled, weekend at the Cottage. Emily was great to work with. Quickly responded to the two questions we had during our stay. The Cottage had plenty of space to spread out and to enjoy a quiet conversation, some outdoor patio time, or the big screen Tv to watch football. The bedrooms were perfect, with comfortable beds. A great time was had during our 2024 cousins’ weekend. Thank you

Groomers getaway

The house was a lot larger than exoected. The layout was perfect. Everyone could be together but still be in their own space. The porch was perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks. We were there for the grooming expo so unfortunately didn't get to spend a lot of time at the house but we would all like to come back. Upon arriving you may feel like you are in the middle of nowhere ( which is great) but there are so many quaint shops and restaurants within a 10 minute or less drive. The large driveway was a huge plus.

Spacious

The house was very large and spacious. Everything was clean with nice furnishings. The kitchen had dishes, glasses, silverware, some pans and utensils. We cooked most of our meals there. We brought our own crock pot and disposable aluminum foil pans for casseroles. We brought our son, daughter-in-law and three grandchildren. We visited the Mt. Gretna lake and beach which was a nice family beach, the Lake Tobias Wildlife Park, Indian Echo Cavern, and Turkey Hill Experience which were all within an easy driving distance. It was a very nice family vacation.

Great location

While in the area for a wedding we also managed to visited Gettysburg, Hershey, Amish country and Philadelphia. Everything was close enough for day trips. The house was great. The pictures are very accurate. It had a lot of space to hang out. The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and cute. The area gave the vibe of a small mountain town. The owner’s communication was excellent.

Our 2023 Muhlenberg Cottage Christmas

It was the most perfect Christmas! I surprised my adult angels who are outgrowing my home for holidays so I got the idea to rent a home. I wanted woodsy- cabins feel- fireplace - big open airy. This Cottage was exactly what I envisioned! The only thing missing was the snow! Emily was sooo amazing throughout the booking process. The home was just perfect!!!

This property was spectacular for myself and girlfriends to catch up and explore the area. The design of the main level made it easy for socializing and there was plenty of room to sleep upstairs. The house was well equipped with the essentials and more. The house was also clean and well maintained. I loved having coffee on the porch in the early mornings.
