great convenient place to stay in Mount Gretna
we came to visit family. This was a great home base for us to travel around the area. A/c worked great. We even got to enjoy a little rainstorm while sitting on the cute front porch. And lots of birds out early in the AM while we drank our coffee out there too.

Wonderful small cottage
The cottage was a wonderful surprise. We had no idea or understood what Mt Gretna campmeeting was before our visit. The cottage is situated in a wonderful and peace wooded area with historic homes around you. Each home has a signature porch and so many flowers. Foot paths vice car streets great you and lead to the tabernacle in the center of the village. They have summer concerts and events. This was a wonderful find and the house was perfect for a couple and a few small dogs.
