Beautiful home & neighborhood

We had a lovely stay this weekend. We were in town for the Renaissance Faire- which was only a few minutes away by car. The home and the entire gave the entire weekend a magical touch- absolutely stunning! We will definitely be back 😍

Charming Cottage in the woods

We enjoyed our stay very much! The cottage was comfortable and filled with lovely old furniture. It was within walking distance of all the activities we had planned. The porch was a great place to sit at any time of day or night.

"Wooded Wonder" is a wonderful cottage-bungalow in the woods

Delightful bungalow loaded with old-world charm, style and atmosphere. Nestled among other beautiful cottages in the woods, the expansive wrap-around porch and period furnishings make this a time capsule to be enjoyed and savored in a relaxed and reflective setting. The owner has done an amazing job of furnishing and decorating the cottage with a keen eye to authentic details. Commendable. And worth your time to just "set a spell" on the porch among the wooded wonder of Mt Gretna Campmeeting. We enjoyed dinner at The Timbers and at The Hideaway.

Great location poor amenities

Great location, spacious however, no soap had to bring sheets and towels and toilet paper. No coffee it was just lacking for the price of two nights a hotel would have covered these basic services.

Perfect location!

We stayed here for the Celtic Fling weekend at the Renaissance Fairie. It was the perfect location! The place was well done with antique furniture and decor. The only drawback is the only shower...its tight. The only other option is a beautiful claw foot tub...maybe add a shower attachment to that?

Nice location in Mt. Gretna

This was a good stay and location for our group in Mt. Gretna! Lovely porch, bedrooms, etc. One caveat would be that the listing we saw said 2 full baths, but one of the bathrooms had just a tub (no shower or combo), which was a concern for getting lots of guests out the door in the mornings. Keep that in mind if that's a priority for you - otherwise, the stay was good and the location as advertised!

Tranquil Get Away

An amazing getaway for a fun girl’s weekend. The porch is absolutely inviting. We loved the tranquility of Mt Gretna. The house offered all the amenities needed, plus lots of amazing antiques and details. The check in process was simple and parking was available for everyone in our group. Perfectly located to walk to Hideaway and Jigger Shop. We even got a visit from a sweet neighbor. Come ready to relax and forget about stress! We felt like we were whisked away to a fairy garden.

Great, unique, relaxing get away place

The house and the community are very unique and provided a great place for our family to have a retreat away as we spent time hiking, reading, relaxing and enjoying nearby Hershey park. Front porch was a favorite spot for our family! Neighbors were friendly and helpful. The listed twin bed was shorter than a regular twin bed but all the beds were comfortable. Be aware that you need bring small kitchen trash bags, paper products, sheets, and towels. Overall, we had a great time!

Would not do again.

Interesting walk back in time however, strong musty smell throughout the whole house. No pre-warning of size of beds when we were required to bring our own sheets and towels. Interior stairs seriously under code. A danger to older folks and young children. No railing for part of the staircase. Received splinters from holding onto the paneling On the way down. Uncomfortable.

Relaxing

We stayed here during our vacation to Hershey it was so relaxing to come home to! Super easy and quick commute. When we first got there our key had gotten mixed up and we couldn't get in but the owners were super fast to bring us the correct key even though it was after hours around 6pm. There was plenty of supplies to cook with. The kids were never bored and theres only one small tv but they didn't even watch it they went outside to play which is totally not like them 😅 no complaints at all! My son is already asking if we can go back and just live there. Oh, most of the outlets upstairs are only 2 prong instead of 3, it is an older home, but I didn't think about that before we left and had to charge our phones downstairs but other than that perfect!

Quaint cottage in lovely neighborhood

Really cute place. Lots of nooks & cranies to explore. Don't miss the bench in the living room that opens up to a ton of games. Wrap around porch is gorgeous. Very friendly people in the town. We had an issue with plumbing close to 11pm & the owners picked up the phone right away. They got a plumber out first thing the next morning to take care of it. Very impressed. If the town is running an outdoor walking play - go. It's awesome. And make sure to go to Porch & Pantry to eat. A bit expensive, but SO worth it. Make a reservation though. Cons: It did smell musty when we got there, but opening the windows for a bit helped. You have to bring bedding & I would recommend bringing comforters too. Bring hand soap for the sinks too. No privacy for adults. The walls don't go all the way up so sound travels. So don't expect romance if you're not alone. The houses are practically on top of each other. This didn't bother us, but it was unexpected. Overall I highly recommend this property.
