Cozy, rustic, antique cabin. Full of charm!
We had a lovely time staying at this property. The cabin was charming and antique with a huge porch. We loved the claw foot tub, the fireplace, and the proximity to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. We only wished we'd had more time and indoor space to hang out together!

Perfect weekend
We lucked out with perfect cool weather for the weekend. Not sure how cool the house would be with typical August temperatures. The house was clean and the beds were comfortable. When we were at the house we spent most of our time on the porch or walking around in the neighborhood. Very friendly neighborhood. The inside was dark and could use some better brighter lighting.

Absolute whimsical retreat
I have been wanting to visit Mount Gretna for years and this visit did not disappoint. The community is beyond charming and our home was absolutely stunning. The home was a time capsule filled with unique antiques and curiosities. I spent the first day admiring all of the treasures right down to the original rope beds amongst all modern day luxuries. The house was so well appointed. There was not one item we wished for. Our trip was so relaxed and enjoyable. I highly recommend booking this home!

Excellent location
Wonderful experience especially the family dinner on the porch that lasted for hours. Location is excellent, kitchen is well supplied, it’s dim inside- needs brighter lightbulbs, the carpet is older, mattress in the room with AC is ready to be replaced soon, other rooms seemed fine. This is a rustic atmosphere in Mt Gretna so this place is as you would expect; relaxing and family and dog friendly. We will return.

Quiet Retreat
This expansive cottage was exactly the rustic vacation home we were looking for! The location was ideal and close to restaurants and the lake. The porch was an amazing extension of the home. It was also nice that they accepted pets. We recommend this home to couples or families. There is plenty of space for everyone!
