The village is nestled in the historic 125-year old Charles Dickens like Village of Campmeeting, Mt. Gretna, Pa. In the 1890’s, the Pennsylvania Chautauqua Society founded Mt. Gretna, attracted by the region’s natural beauty. The landscape is still just as inviting——gently wooded mountains, a steam,and a lake. Throughout the Summer, the Chautauqua’s educational and cultural tradition is carried out on with first-rate events in music, theater, and art. As cooler weather sets in, the area displays some of the most stunning foliage of the Northeast. When snow flies, cross country skiers enjoy expertly groomed, picturesque trails. Spring brings a green-dusted calm to the acres of protected Gamelands, crossed by miles of trails for mountain biking and hiking.
Also, a great place for hunters to hang their hats in deer season!

Fabulous

Lovely property, very comfortable and welcoming. We prepared and served a full Thanksgiving meal for 17 in the well equipped kitchen. Nice room to spread out for smaller group conversations. Almost warm enough to spread out onto front porch and could have with jackets on. Loved walking the neighborhoods. Dog warmly welcomed. Would definitely love to stay again. Highly recommend this property.

Super place to stay!

The property was wonderful. It is nestled in a historic forested community. There are local businesses, restaurants, and even a library within walking distance. It go is a short trip to Hershey and other destinations. The property itself is very nice! Great kitchen and sitting spaces, plenty of room for shared meals. The bedrooms are clean and pretty spacious. The only difficult aspect is that the stair case is very narrow and the treads are shallow. It would be difficult for people who have trouble with stairs. We had a wonderful stay and would certainly book again!

3 generations

Three generations of my family stayed at this cottage. It suited us very well. The porch is amazing. It’s a great place to sit and gather all together. The cottage was very clean and neat. The kitchen was great, and had everything we could need. Mount Gretna is my happy place. I spent all my summers there growing up.

What makes this property unique

This cottage offers a step back in time, quiet, peaceful garden setting view from the large covered wrap around porch. Many of the cottages are very tight against the neighboring cottages and offer little or no privacy when on the porch. Sunset Cottage has a wonderful view of the Campmeeting gardens with no obstructions and has shaded gardens on both sides to the property.
Please be informed, Mt. Gretna is a family resort area, there is a quiet time mandatory from 10:00 PM until 9:00 AM the following day.
Also, the cottage is over 100 years old, but is meticulous in every detail. The original pine floors are uneven and there are no right angle corners in the rooms giving Sunset Cottage a special vintage historic charm.
The wrap around porch is very special as it overlooks the garden of the Campmeeting community.
Also, very importantly there is parking on the premise for three vehicles.....a rarity in Mt. Gretna!
