Cozy Escape
We loved our stay! The space is beautifully decorated and colorful. The porch was very relaxing and peaceful. It was a perfect location to stay with the family. It is close to all attractions including the PA Renaissance Faire, Hershey, and Dutch Wonderland. The campground is gorgeous! We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Close to Everything
We either walked or had a very short drive everywhere. Walked our dogs and rode bikes on the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail, took a drive to Troeg’s Brewery and enjoyed relaxing on the screened porch. A very pleasant experience.

Wonderful weekend in Mt Gretna
Very clean & neat; delightfully decorated. Good location. A little surprised about having to bring our own supplies, but that was my fault for nor reading the instructions from Penn Realty.

Unique neighborhood
Second time staying with 100 year old tiny cottage. Interior was clean. Air not stale. New nice windows. Shower in claw foot tub was new experience that I found a bit unsafe, slippery and no bars or anything to hold. There’s a fire station very close by and very loud alarms go off at any time. We did like this cute neighborhood and walking was fun. Lots of stray cats adorn the area and we saw kittens too. Probably not great for the environment, yet sure fun to see. Historic church tabernacle with entertainment too. Great restaurant the Hideaway in walking distance is a must.
