2/10 Terrible

Vicki M.

Although it seemed clean, the place was very dark-every inch was dark wood including floors, furniture, and ceiling. Multiple small low light lamps with dark lamp shades add to the darkness, along with lots of trees. The rug in the living room and on the stairs was worn and faded with some stains. This made it feel unclean. The description says that travelers need to provide their own linens and bath towels, but failed to mention there would be no towels at all and no spare toilet paper or paper towels. Many people do not have the size beds that are in the cottage and would have to buy linens just for the trip. The need to pack my own toilet paper was disclosed only after I had paid in full and the lack of kitchen and hand towels was never disclosed, so I had to drive 40 minutes round trip to a store to get towels after I checked in. The instructions given at check in regarding handling of trash contradicted the instruction No extra liners for kitchen and bathroom trash cans were provided, either. Bathrooms and kitchen were clean, though the kitchen was way overstocked with pots and pans, and too many mugs and mismatched glasses.The kitchen had salt and pepper, but otherwise was not stocked for cooking. Overall it was disappointing.

Charming area and home. However, not the best experience for our family due to July heat and power outage. The listing states that cottage is air conditioned, but has only one window unit to serve the entire second floor and one on the first floor. We needed to sleep with windows open which made the fire sirens on both nights especially unwelcome.

Quiet Campmeeting Location

Great four-bedroom seasonal cottage for a family visit with siblings coming from three different Pennsylvania locations. While unseasonably cool, the gas-fired fireplace quickly warmed the cottage, ground and upper floors. Enjoyable stay.

Lovely cottage. Beautiful antiques. Perfect layout for our family. So enjoyed the games and the wraparound porch. Internet would be a preferred addition. We had a great time, celebrating our 50th anniversary❣️

Authentic gretna cottage, with some appreciated modern conveniences

This lovely cottage is beautifully furnished with antiques, but also has updated and very functional bathrooms and kitchen spaces. The location and porch are also wonderful. Our group really enjoyed our stay. The only misleading part of the listing is the claim that the 4th bedroom has two twin beds. The one twin bed was very comfortable, but the other “bed” is just a small upholstered bench.

Excellent home base for Gretna vacation

Wrap-around porch elevates outdoor living. Functional kitchen makes meal times easy. Four bedrooms give everyone their own space. And there’s parking! We would be happy to stay again at this quaint and comfortable cottage.

Loved the stay and the peacefulness of the area. The only negative was the one bedroom did not have a twin bed nor single. It was more like a bench with a pad but other than that we loved it!

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.

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!
