Beautiful house and location
Loved the house. Quiet. Peaceful. A few things I’d like to point out. The downstairs shower was more of a dribble than a shower. Basement had water on the floor. Ironing board should be replaced and put upstairs. It’s so rusty and gross the rust came off in my hands. I couldn’t get it to fold up. The grig had 3 plates of old pizza. We left our condiments there as we didn’t have a cooler. Opened them on Monday so have cleaner take them. Loved all the night lights.

Nice little getaway
The house was super cute. We always use our vacations as a moment to disconnect and reconnect. We spent the week eating good food and talking. Some of the downsides in my opinion were the hottub that did not heat. The bugs that were everywhere it was a wooded area so I totally get it. The TV was also an issue zero channels. I brought my work computer so I could catch up some things so we used it as our TV for the week. It wasn't my favorite place we've spent but it served it's purpose. We had a lovely time despite the hiccups

Nostalgic family vacation!
We had a very nice family vacation at this property in Mt. Gretna! It was an easy walk to the restaurants, shows, etc. Great porch for everyone to hang out on. Easy access to the 1st floor for those with mobility issues (the 2nd floor was a bit steep, but there was a railing). We all appreciated the 2 bathrooms. No problems parking either. Would definitely stay in this very cute home again! Hadn't stayed in Mt. Gretna in many years, and it was just as lovely as I remembered it.

Nice central location for Hershey/Lebanon/Lancaster
Most of our group grew up in the area, but now live out of town, so we wanted a central hub to reconnect with old friends and memories. We spent most of the time out and about, but grilled some steaks one night at the house and ate at the Hideaway a couple nights too. Don't expect luxury, but this place got the job done!

Christmas in Mt. Gretna
We wanted a true Mt. Gretna experience for Christmas this year and got it with this very beautiful cottage that has been winterized and is very cozy and inviting. We enjoyed our stay and hope to return again very soon.

Unique Vintage Home
The property was convenient to Hershey, PA where my activities were centered. It is in a charming neighborhood of vintage homes. Very welcoming property. Neat and clean. Only consideration is very steep stairs that would not work with anyone mobility impaired.
