      Beautiful Fall experience when we needed it most;)
      We all loved staying at this cottage so much as it brought back so many happy memories, comfort and healing since we were in town for a family funeral. Our family has had cottages and been going to Gretna since the mid 1930’s! Some of our cousins still have a cottage or live there permanently now. We laid to rest our matriarch Mrs Trudy Weaver, 100 yrs old, in Hershey and we all felt at home here between the large porch and enough space for all 6 of us to sleep comfortably and enjoy our time celebrating her wonderful life!

      Wonderful get away to Mt. Gretna
      This historic cottage has been beautifully updated. The kitchen is well stocked and has adequate working space to prepare meals. All of the rooms have beautiful decor, that is also family friendly if you are traveling with children. There are three bedrooms upstairs and the beds were very comfortable. The downstairs sleeping area is off the living room. Our favorite part of the cottage was the screened-in porch. The furniture is comfortable with plenty of seating. We found the property management staff to be very easy to deal with. The neighborhood was walkable. We enjoyed exploring the historic Mount Gretna campmeeting area. You do need to be able to do stairs to get up into the entrance, but there is a very good handrail. We recommend this property!
