About this property

Beautiful Yr Round Cottage Great Porch, Heart of MTG, Near Hershey, Lititz, Lanc

"The Wander-Inn Pines" cottage is perfectly located in the heart of the camp meeting within walking distance to everything "Mount Gretna". This classic Mount Gretna Cottage dates back to 1910 and was originally named Pine Scents. Our cottage offers three bedrooms, one bath, open floor plan, private parking, and an amazing porch. As you Wander through the first floor of the cottage you’ll find the living room with the original rustic hard wood floors. There is an electric fireplace, and a custom bar that opens into the fully equipped kitchen. Continue into the dining area with a coffee and tea station and expandable table that can seat six. Wander up stairs to the second floor and you’ll find three bedrooms, a bath, and washer and dryer. The spacious Master Bedroom has a Queen sized Timber Framed Bed, knotty pine furniture, and glider chair. The Blue Room has a classic feel with a comfy double bed, art deco dresser, and dry sink. The third room hosts a bunk with a twin on top and a double bed on bottom. It has a games cabinet that looks like a dog, and is a perfect place for kids to chill, laugh, and sleep comfortably. The bath has an oversized shower, vanity, and large toilet. There are hooks throughout all the rooms for robes, towels, etc. We provide linens and comfy towels.
The thing we love the most is our big Mount Gretna porch! There are three areas, so take time to enjoy them all. We have two large swings. The larger swing was a gift for my wife when our son was born. She spent her first Mother’s day with him on that swing. Nowadays we mostly use it for reading, sipping wine, and watching humming birds. The smaller swing was from the family cabin where my wife and her grandmother would sit to read and sing. The lounge area is a great place to relax, chat and have a happy hour if you are so inclined. The outdoor table invites you to take time and relax over a meal. We sit here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The ceiling fans, wind chimes, and raised porch add to the vibe and call on one to relax, rejuvenate and enjoy life! The Cottage features unique touches, which include handcrafted timber accents from the woods of Mount Gretna and even some of my original sculptures and artwork!
(Sorry, we love furry friends, but we ask that you give them a much needed stay-vacation at home while you are visiting our cottage)

Wonderful Family House in the Perfect “Location
This is a wonderful home. The house is so comfortable and the bed rooms are great. The bathroom is very very nice and large. There are air conditioners in every room which makes it great on hot summer days. The best part is the porch. It is so large and comfortable. It also has ceiling fans. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare the perfect meal. A full size refrigerator/freezer is a big plus. Everything is provided such as towels and sheets. The house is super clean and tidy. The location is near enough to a basketball court and small playground for children old enough to go on their own. The neighbors were wonderful. The hosts were the best we have found from a VRBO rental. They keep in contact before the trip. Upon arrival they check with you once you check in to ensure everything is what you expected. They are so kind and caring. The house has plenty of board games the whole family will love. Over all this is one of the best properties we have stayed at, if not the best. We will be staying here again!

Quaint. Quiet. Beautiful
Sit on porch for breakfast in the cool morning. Beautiful cottage with comfortable beds! Neighbors were friendly and inviting. Basketball court playground in walking distance. This was the perfect spot to forget the world, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Stroll through the area. Ice cream not too far from cottage and you can fish if you want. I will be back again! Thank you for having me! Enjoyed every minute of time well spent!

Wonderful Experience Once Again!
This was the second time my mom and I stayed here and we loved it more than ever. Our favorite part is the huge wrap around porch which is where we spent most of our time. Mt. Gretna is a very special place and we are hoping to return many times to this cottage!

Host profile image
Christy is a music teacher of over 25 years. Cory and Christy both taught locally for years before accepting a Fulbright Fellowship for teacher exchange in England. From there the couple went into international teaching taking their son Jaz along for this amazing cultural experience. Our journey took us to England, Russia, Czech Republic, and now China. Today Christy is teaching music at the prestigious Shanghai American School. She is a band teacher and loves to travel and read. Their son Jaz is studying international business management in Amsterdam, having lived in five different countries in his 19+ years. You will find a favorite pet, Dakota, represented as a cabinet created by Cory in the kids room!
Cory is an artist. He is a bronze sculptor at heart and in study, but his art practice is interdisciplinary. Cory tells our story through his art as we travel. He finds inspiration in people, place, culture, and time. You might find a few of his pieces here but he is an internationally renowned artist with his pieces collected in many counties by those who love art and the stories his pieces represent. To see more of his art look him up at airyhillstudio.com .

Why they chose this property

Gretna is where we come to reconnect with family and friends. Our jobs have taken us abroad, but this cottage is our home. We have decided to open our humble cottage to you so that you too can share in the unique community of Mount Gretna. We truly believe that not all who Wander are lost. It's how we came to own the cottage. Through unique circumstances we were unable to get back to our home abroad, so we came back home to Gretna on an unplanned extended trip. It was then that we realized it was time to have a place near family and friends. A place for us all to gather. Gretna, as it has been during our entire time abroad, was the perfect place for us to reconnect. It really was fate that brought us home this time as we were wandering the globe. We thank you for Wandering in and sharing in the experience.

What makes this property unique

We love our front porch. It is a great place to relax and recharge. Reading on the swing in the morning, or lounging in the evening, it offers a haven in Mount Gretna. If you want to cozy up inside, you'll find unique wood touches throughout the house. The Live wood treatments under the bar, the stair banister, small window to the dining, and the fire place surround, are all created from wood found on walks in Mount Gretna. Mount gretna is full of artists and master craftsman. One of which is Max Hunsicker, who was Cory's elementary music teacher, now dear friend and master wood worker. These are his touches to our cottage. It demonstrates the amazing community of Mount Gretna. We purchased this house on July 8th from a lovely couple who were ready to pass it on to someone who was going to continue to love the cottage as they did. With the help of family and friends we were able to un-earth the beautiful 100 year old wooden floors and open the space between the living room and kitchen. The Wander-Inn Pines is a true community effort to bring us a home here in Gretna.
