Mount Gretna is so exciting during the Art Show. Held the 3rd full weekend of August each year, it is, without a doubt, the busiest you will see the area year-round. Visitors come from all over the country, reserving cottages months in advance, just to be here for that weekend and to be a part of all the fun. We love that you got to experience it and had an incredible time.

Quiet Campmeeting Location

Great four-bedroom seasonal cottage for a family visit with siblings coming from three different Pennsylvania locations. While unseasonably cool, the gas-fired fireplace quickly warmed the cottage, ground and upper floors. Enjoyable stay.

This is a very cozy cottage that feels like visiting your grandparents house or a summer lake/ hunting cabin, very spacious. We had a great time. We loved the porch swing, the smell of wood and old antique furnishings. It’s is nestled into a cute community of houses that have walking paths, everything is walking distance in Mt Gretna. A slice of Americana summer time paradise.

This 1st Street cottage did not disappoint. The perfect description is a traditional cottage with modern updates in the kitchen and bathroom. If you explore the kitchen and dining area cupboards, there are extensive place settings, serving bowls, and glasses. Also some small appliances. The wrap around porch is a plus. Loved our weekend at this property.

Just charming and rustic! The kitchen is well-appointed. The overall vibe is old-school lakehouse/ cabin/ camp. The porch is to die for. We had never been to Mount Gretna before, but chose it because it was very close to the PA Renn Faire, which we were attending with our children and their spouses. I would recommend 100%. Please note, the houses are very close together, so maintaining the quiet the neighbors expect and deserve may be difficult with pets.

We love that you and your husband enjoyed the porch. The canopy of trees covering the cottages always seems to keep Mount Gretna a few degrees cooler - even on the hottest days! Part of its unique charm, for sure.

We had a lovely time staying at this property. The cabin was charming and antique with a huge porch. We loved the claw foot tub, the fireplace, and the proximity to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire. We only wished we'd had more time and indoor space to hang out together!

Charming area and home. However, not the best experience for our family due to July heat and power outage. The listing states that cottage is air conditioned, but has only one window unit to serve the entire second floor and one on the first floor. We needed to sleep with windows open which made the fire sirens on both nights especially unwelcome.
Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Aug 2025
Thank you so much. We appreciate you mentioning the air conditioning. We contacted the owner to recommend additional A/C units be installed in the bedrooms. This summer has been very hot and humid, and we know how important it is to have a cool and refreshing escape each night. Hopefully soon, with modern technology and cell phones, the fire siren will become a thing of the past. We do our best to give guests a head's up in the Welcome Guide but know it can be daunting! Mount Gretna is served by a volunteer fire company that is alerted to a wide range of emergencies by a fire siren which can sound at all hours of the day and night - it is loud and repeats three times.
