The booking and checking in was excellent with Penn Realty! Ashley was responsive and wonderful! The house was beautiful and perfect for our big family. The screened in porch was ideal for meals and evening chats, and the front porch seating was super comfortable. The porch swings were a big hit with our kids. The house was fabulous and we will stay again!!!

The property was great. I’ve never stayed at a VRBO that had everything you could possibly need during your trip. The kitchen was equipped so well I felt like I was in my own kitchen. Everything in the house is labeled too. You know what light switch turns on what light, how to work the fireplace, etc. I would highly recommend this property!

Had the most wonderful and relaxing vacation. The front porch was the star of our trip. Woke up every morning and had coffee on the porch and spent every night before bed on the porch. Saw deer just about every morning right in front of the porch. The house was lovely. Had everything we needed and more. Kept the charm of the past with all the modern consciences. We are already planning a stay next year.

Such an ideal place to kick off your shoes and relax. The house is so well equipped. Beautiful scenery, away from the busy city life. The porch was our favorite. Loved just sitting in the swing and admiring the lake. Just a 20 min drive to Hershey park, museum and restaurants. Oh and the wildlife was fun to watch too.

This home is so charming and cozy with so many personal touches. Kitchen is well stocked and organized. The porches offered areas to play games and watch the birds at the bird feeder. We wanted to explore the area more, but we were content in our home away from home.So relaxing and a stress free stay! We will definitely book again!

Loved the porch!

We had such a great family reunion here and would love to stay again. Our daughter loved the porch and the location to see the lake. We were in walking distance to the playground which was a bonus. The house was very clean and well designed.

We had an excellent stay in Mount Gretna! The host provided a very detailed and helpful guide to the property, which we greatly appreciated. It gave us a complete overview of what to expect inside the rental, how to access the property, and answered any questions we had. The property was very clean and had everything we needed.We loved spending time on the patio. It was peaceful listening to the birds, and we even saw a flying squirrel one night. It was so nice to park once and then walk everywhere we wanted to go.We will definitely be back and would love to stay here again in the future!
