The property's main feature, the whimsical screened-in porch, will serve as the main gathering spot during your downtime! Hanging paper lanterns and plush outdoor furnishings set a relaxing mood; encouraging you to enjoy everything from morning coffee to dinner al fresco within it's inviting border.

Inside, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay.

-- THE LOCATION --

Straight out of a storybook, historic Mt. Gretna, with gently wooded mountains, a bubbling stream, and sparkling lake, provides travelers a cozy Pennsylvania getaway no matter the season! Charming cottages, art galleries, and tasty cafes add the perfect features to the nostalgic atmosphere of this 1890's town - where your ideal rental property is perfectly situated within walking distance to numerous attractions and restaurants.

In the summer, put on your bathing suit, lather on sunscreen, and head to Conewago Lake, less than a mile down the road. A day fee will allow you to sunbathe, swim, boat and more at this petite oasis. It's also the perfect place for a family picnic!

A short walk into town will lead into a fun evening with a musical or comedy at Mount Gretna Playhouse, located just a few minutes away. Continue the night with bar bites and microbrews while jiving to live music at Mt. Gretna Hide-A-Way. Once your eyes grow tired, a quick walk around the block will have you resting comfortably in your home-away-from-home.

For those seeking outdoor adventures, venture just a mile to the Governor Dick Nature Preserve, offering hiking and biking on well-maintained trails along with 130 boulder routes on diabase rock. Additionally, you'll find excellent cross-country skiing in the park during winter. For more family-friendly entertainment, head to Hersheypark - where you can enjoy thrill rides for all ages.

Lastly, make sure to check out the numerous wineries found close to the home! The Vineyard at Hershey, Royal Oaks Vineyard, and Cullari Vineyards offer a chance to experience the region through the sense of taste - all located within 17 miles of the property. Don't miss out on Mt. Hope Estate and Winery's Pennsylvania Renaissance Fair that takes place late summer to fall. If a fresh brew is more your style, breweries such as Mt. Gretna Brewery and Troegs Brewery are just a short drive away.

So cute!
We come up annually for the PA Renaissance Festival, This was a nice change of pace from hotels. A cozy little home a few miles from the faire. It was also walking distance to the Hideaway - one of our favorite restaurants to visit when we're in the area. The tub upstairs is a little small, but totally usable. It's also not very sound proof. You can hear every thing from every room, which made it hard to put a baby down to sleep and still have normal speaking conversations on another floor.

Some minor concerns. Note, it was a very lovely house, once we got in, and we enjoyed our stay there. We arrived at 7:00pm, and it was impossible to figure out which place was the unit. Please, please, put up a visible house number that can be seen from both roads at night. The property uses an older style lock box for the keys, and I did not recognize it as a lock box. It would be helpful to use a label maker to say 'lock box' or tape a sign on it. Another thing did not affect us, but it might affect other people renting the house. I believe the listing said the parking area could hold two cars. I really don't see how you could fit two cars in the space without rearranging the outdoor furniture and being really careful to park the first car before the second car. The final minor thing may not affect most visitors, but it may affect those of us who are starting to have physical limitations. The house is not wheelchair accessible (there are a few steps to the 1st floor, and the 2nd floor has quite a few steps). The house has two floors. The first floor is a living room, dining room, kitchen, and 1/2 bathroom. The second floor has two bedrooms and a full bathroom with a shower. I had packed the suitcases a little full. I could lift them up a few stairs, but I found I could not lift them to the second floor, and I just left them in the living room during our stay. As I said, it was a very lovely. Once we got setup, we enjoyed ourselves.

A Great Getaway!
We were staying down the road in another cottage and booked this so members of our family could be nearby. They thought it was perfect and had everything they needed. Nathan was a great communicator and I would absolutely rent here again. A real find!
