Butterfly Cottage Close to Everything

This cottage will give you the feel of living in the past but you will still have all the comforts of home. Just steps from the tennis courts, playground and walking trails. This cottage is what you desire if you crave the authentic feel of 100 years past. Thin walls, creaky floors and narrow steps are just a few of its charms . Remember to bring your Netflix and Prime passwords for fast wireless internet connection. Cottage is cleaned and sanitized after each visit. Don’t forget there are many attractions very close by including Hershey Park, Dutch Wonderland and the PA Renaissance Fair & Winery. Not to mention you are steps away from the walking trails of Governor Dick Park, the Gretna Playhouse, mini golf, a roller rink and the famous Jigger Shoppe ice cream parlor... and some wonderful eateries and restaurants. There is something going on almost every night including plays and live music. There is also a magnificent lake so close you can see it from the porch. This beautiful lake offers a beach, swimming and kayaking. We also have contactless check-in that is standard for your convenience. Hope to see you soon at the Butterfly Cottage!

Amazing location in a beautiful wooded-community, a real retreat. The outdoor spaces (wraparound porch, back patio) were particularly nice. As noted in the listing, the walls were a bit thin, but this didn't bother us. Kid friendly -- they loved the "secret passageway" (shared closet) between bedrooms.

Due to unfortunate circumstances, we had to change our stay until September 12-15. Our stay was magical. The cottage is amazing and peaceful. Filled with charm. The back patio is serene. And, the front porch is perfect for morning coffee.
The back patio is perfect place to relax.
Just a wonderful touch of whimsy.

Perfect place for a weekend or extended stay

I stayed at Butterfly Cottage for several weeks during a work assignment in the area. Going back to Mount Gretna every evening was much better than a hotel, and the hosts of Butterfly Cottage thoughtful, communicated well and made sure the cottage was clean and well-appointed. I look forward to coming back soon.

We stayed in the cottage for the art show and we loved it. The cottage was clean and very well appointed. The host thought of everything and we had everything we needed. We were even greeted with a bottle of wine and some chocolates! Excellent stay!
