Winter Family Visit - Gather by Fireplace at Nostalgic Gretna Cottage

At over 2,000 square feet, this cottage does not give, "roughing it!" We are happy to hear you liked it and hope for you to come back! Thanks for being great guests.

This cottage is one of our family favorites. We are glad to hear you had a great stay!

Is it something in the water? The Lake and Beach are just a short walk away, after all. Mount Gretna really is a special place.

We appreciate the perfect review. It was our pleasure to host you and your group again this summer. Thanks for taking good care of the cottage.

Thank you for the great review! Mount Gretna is located right along Lebanon Valley Rails to Trails, which follows the route of former Cornwall-Lebanon Railroad and runs for 19.6 miles through Pennsylvania's Lebanon Valley. A majority of the route is unpaved, mostly gravel-surfaced, and is perfect for hiking, biking, running and walking!

Mount Gretna is an ideal, central location when visiting Southeastern Pennsylvania. Under 30 minutes to Lititz, Hershey, Lancaster, Lebanon, Harrisburg and Manheim, too! Mount Gretna cottages are convenient, and quiet. Perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing!

Thanks for the 5-star review, Garrett. We love that Mount Gretna is an annual trip for you, and would love for you to stay here again next year. Thanks for being great guests.

The porches are what Mount Gretna is really all about. Living-room-style decor, lighting, and comfortable furniture make you want to spend all your time outdoors.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, but we know 2 stars is not an accurate or fair description of this lovely Mount Gretna cottage. Like many in the area, this property is built into the hillside - the driveway has a slope, but it is very safe, not treacherous. In fact, brand new front steps and a handrail were installed in early 2026. Several photos of the new exterior steps were added to the listing right away, but providing a photo of the interior staircase is a great suggestion - one will be added very soon. While Mount Gretna cottages are not handicap accessible, we want to reiterate they are safely navigated by guests. This cottage even has a den on the 1st floor, providing a comfortable, private sleeping space for guests with mobility issues. The owner truly puts so much love and care into this cottage - it is a beloved gathering space for many families and friend groups of all ages. New living room furniture is scheduled to be delivered very soon, the recliner will be removed, and we will be sure extra attention is spent on the porch. This time of year, pollen is an unfortunate part of being in the woods, but our cleaning team does their absolute best to have our cottages prepared - they do an amazing job. We welcome guests to reach out with any issues or concerns anytime and only wish you would have reached out for assistance if needed during your stay. We encourage you to read the multitude of 5-star reviews to see what so many guests have loved about their stay. We are always working to provide even better experiences, and suggestions from guests are so helpful to us.

We are glad to hear your New Year's Eve in Mount Gretna was wonderful. This cottage, and the area, are very family friendly- any time of year. Thanks so much for the awesome review.

Thanks for the 5-star review, Evan! This cottage is great for a group of friends - lots of space to hang out and multiple full bathrooms. We are so glad the bachelor's weekend in Mount Gretna was one to remember!
