Great location, very walkable to main area but also still private. Screened in porch was awesome. Clean and homey and not too many tchotchkes that my small child could knock over, would stay again!
We have lived in and rented cottages in Mt Gretna. This cottage was top notch. Excellent location!! Off street parking was a huge plus. We truly enjoyed our time at the cottage and would highly recommend a stay at this beautiful cottage.
We had a wonderful stay over the July 4th week! The home was well stocked with everything we needed. We loved the screened in porch and cool ceiling fan/lights n every room. This cottage is in a quieter end of Chautauqua and the off street parking spots were very convenient.
