About this property

Centrally located Mt Gretna cottage with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths

    There is a bathroom on each floor of the house. The second floor bathroom has a tub shower while the first floor bathroom has a stand up shower.

    On the first floor, the modern kitchen is fully stocked with cooking essentials; our large dining table is perfect for meals and games; and there are two separate sitting areas with couches and chairs.

My wife and I have stayed in Gretna cottages over the last 40 years. (We owned one for a few.) This is easily the best appointed we’ve been in. Clean, everything you need, good communication from the host. One small Vrbo correction: The Cottage is in the Campmeeting, not the Heights.

Truly Charming

We booked a weekend to attend the Renaissance Faire and would gladly stay again! Truly a charming, cabin, close to nearby attractions and a fantastic pizza spot just across the street. The cabin is lovely, clean and cozy with all the comforts of home! We loved our stay and are already looking forward to next year.

Very cute, cozy house with adequate room for 6 adults. Nice extras included. Creaky floorboards added charm! The only thing missing was a place to hang coats after being in the rain all day.

Wonderful way to stay in Mt Gretna. Loved the cabinetry, lights, mirrors, patio. Lovely dining table. Plenteous towels. New windows, well-placed. Nice mattress covers and luxurious sheets, but the sheets slip right off the mattress =( replace with cotton? Thank you for minimizing fragrances, cleaning products for those who are sensitive to them. Nice headboards and furniture, but could I have a little reading light attached to headboard I can turn off in bed? For future improvements, could part of the patio be covered and add a porch swing and rockers? Of course, anyone visiting Mt G must expect to walk, but it would be important to explain there is no parking at cottage for those who have difficulty walking. You do hospitality right!! Thank you =)

Perfect Mt. Gretna Cottag3

The property was centrally located with two dedicated parking spots (nearly unheard of in campmeeting!) The cottage was clean and the prefect get away. The hosts were very responsive. We loved our extended weekend stay.

FIVE STARS!

We loved our stay at this charming Mt. Gretna cottage! My two sisters, our spouses, and I came for the music festival, and the location was perfect—close to everything yet peaceful and relaxing. The cottage was spotless, cozy, and full of thoughtful touches. Updated renovations to both bathrooms. The kitchen was great and provided everything we needed. Check in was fast and simple. Communication with the owner was excellent. We left with great memories and would happily stay here again!

Absolutely wonderful!! For us ladies who gathered here for a weekend of Bible Study and fun and fellowship, we couldn't have asked for a better place. It was like a little piece of Heaven and the Lord was DEFINATELY there with us! We want, by unanimous decision, to book reservations for next year already, !! the host made sure our every need was satisfied! We kind of felt it was really our own cottage, so much like our homes, but we were able to leave all of our troubles behind at our homes! Can't say enough good things about the "Charming Life Cottage" at Mt. Gretna! It truly has God's blessings on the cottage and the owner/hosts! Thank you soooo much!

Although we didnt cook there was plenty of pot, pans, cups to use if we needed. we haad a great time even sitting out back as we started our day, or in the evening as we made our way back to the house. I would recommend staying here and would even book again if we come to the area again.

Family vacation

The area is nice and it’s not a bad drive to Hershey or surrounding areas. The upstairs was very hot it needed window air conditioners and it could have been a little cleaner there were spider webs and it was dusty in places but we had a fun stay anyway.

Family support

I really enjoyed the stay under the circumstances. The part that I enjoyed personally it was all the little things. Down to the sugar for coffee, body wash, games to play with the family was wonderful gestures. Everything was close by and it was very quiet and peaceful. Overall, it was a peaceful and enjoyable place to stay.

Second stay at It's a Charmed Life

My friends and I attend the PA Gourd Festival in Lebanon the same week/weekend and chose to stay here again this year because it is a lovely location and the home/owners are very thoughtful. It didn't disappoint. Highly recommend others choose this location when staying in the Lebanon/Mt Gretna area. Much more affordable & comfortable than a hotel. Charming for sure.

Great Home Base For Day Trips

Our stay was one of the highlights of our vacation. We appreciated the charm of this property and the beautiful kitchen and baths. It was convenient to Hershey Park (which we visited for 3 days) and had a large dining table which was perfect for our family of 6. We had breakfast and dinner at "home" and lunch in the park. We also appreciated the board games that were provided which made for fun family game nights. Only downside was that there was no central AC. Fans in the bedrooms and box-type fan in the main room were adequate, but it did get a little warmer than we desired. Thankfully it cooled of at night and the windows could be opened to let in the cool night air. We recommend this property.

Suggestions from Senior Renters

We enjoyed our stay at Its A Charmed Life. The well-stocked kitchen, plentiful towels and comfortable sitting areas made our stay very enjoyable. We also were impressed by the excellent communication with the owners. Our family congregated there for some memorable evenings. We would like to offer a few suggestions to the owners that might make this property more appealing to our fellow seniors: 1. The handrail at the entrance should be closer to the doorway to allow better support on entry. 2. A small bedside table with lamp would be helpful. I use a cpap machine and had to borrow a table from another room. 3. More hangers in the closets and perhaps a folding luggage rack would be a nice touch. 4. A removable shower wand in the downstairs shower would prevent the user from having to stand under a blast of icy cold water while waiting for the water to warm up. 5. The trash dumpster is not only a great distance from the cottage but hard to find. I think many people our age would gladly pay a few extra dollars to have the someone else haul out the accumulated trash at the end of their stay.
