Great Stay for our Renn Faire Group

This is our second year staying in Mt Gretna for the Renn Faire and our first stay at this location. The house was clean, comfortable and fully stocked with everything we needed for a long weekend stay. Perfect for groups and families and also our fur babies!

We have been coming to Gretna for nearly 40 years! For the last few years to enjoy the peace and quiet of autumn. This house is so comfortable and well equipped with the plus of being dog friendly. Can’t recommend it highly enough!

What a cute property! Love that the lake and playground are so close. We didn’t get a chance to check out the ice cream shop or any of the restaurants since we made ribs for Father’s Day so we hope to come back! Thanks for a great time!

In love with fall.

Reminded us of grandma’s house, cozy and familiar with great views of the fall foliage. Kitchen served us well. Only main issue was the radiator heat not cooperating in one bedroom. We also did not expect the driveway to be so steep; AWD/4WD vehicles that sit high are a must, your average sedan is going to have a tough time.

Lovely cabin!

A lovely cabin in the Mt Gretna woods - near the lake and the shops! Very toddler friendly (much appreciated) and functional! The grill ran out of propane on the second night and we thought there could have been more attention to the cleanliness of the entry way porch. Otherwise a nice break for our family! Thank you!

Lovely cottage in a super nice area.

Very nice cottage. Great size rooms. We were only there for a few short days & it rained like crazy. We still made the best of it utilizing the very large & well equipped kitchen. Family time around the dining room & lounging on the beautiful porch. Definitely would request another stay 😊
