This cottage will give you the feel of living in the past but you will still have all the comforts of home. Just steps from the tennis courts, playground and walking trails. This cottage is what you desire if you crave the authentic feel of 100 years past. Thin walls, creaky floors and narrow steps are just a few of its charms . Remember to bring your Netflix and Prime passwords for fast wireless internet connection. Cottage is cleaned and sanitized after each visit. Don’t forget there are many attractions very close by including Hershey Park, Dutch Wonderland and the PA Renaissance Fair & Winery. Not to mention you are steps away from the walking trails of Governor Dick Park, the Gretna Playhouse, mini golf, a roller rink and the famous Jigger Shoppe ice cream parlor... and some wonderful eateries and restaurants. There is something going on almost every night including plays and live music. There is also a magnificent lake so close you can see it from the porch. This beautiful lake offers a beach, swimming and kayaking. We also have contactless check-in that is standard for your convenience. Hope to see you soon at the Butterfly Cottage!

Well appointed kitchen and comfortable living room and indoor/outdoor dining areas. Located in Gretna historic neighborhood close nor dining and entertainment venues.
We had a lovely time in Mt. Gretna. The cottage was charming, old and creaky as described in the listing, and very, very clean. Everything was provided making our stay very relaxing. We would definitely rent again.
Longtime Childhood Friends Gathering For A Relaxing Weekend
We love Gretna and had a wonderful stay at your charming home! The home is very functional with all of the basics, and cutely decorated. The wine, chocolates, and k-cups were a nice treat! It was very clean, and well organized. The AC and TV's in each bedroom were great! Our favorite thing to do was "Porch Sit", relaxing and catching up with long time friends. We went to the lake, and hit up the Jigger Shop too. Thank you Jason and Marcy.
The cottage fit in very well with the Mt. Gretna aesthetic. Loved the outdoor areas. Back patio felt secluded and enjoyed the gas grill.Picnic table in front porch was perfect alternative when it rained. AC did great job of cooling house. Kitchen was well equipped for our party of 6. Hosts were very responsive and the welcome gift was a nice touch. We would definitely stay at the Butterfly Cottage again. Parking for 2 vehicles is provided. Note that the driveway is tight. If you have a larger vehicle, you’ll want to use the street parking right out front.
I stayed at Butterfly Cottage for several weeks during a work assignment in the area. Going back to Mount Gretna every evening was much better than a hotel, and the hosts of Butterfly Cottage thoughtful, communicated well and made sure the cottage was clean and well-appointed. I look forward to coming back soon.
The kids and I enjoyed our stay immensely! The cottage was perfect. We enjoyed the lake, fairy gardens, Jigger Shop and playgrounds. It's a magical family spot.
We stayed in the cottage for the art show and we loved it. The cottage was clean and very well appointed. The host thought of everything and we had everything we needed. We were even greeted with a bottle of wine and some chocolates! Excellent stay!

We had a lovely stay at the butterfly cottage. We loved the big porch, and the kids really loved the “secret passage” they discovered in the upstairs. We made some very good memories and we hope to stay again next year.
This was our first time staying on the grounds at Mount Gretna and it was wonderful. The cottage was exactly as described and we enjoyed being in such close proximity to the Art Show on the grounds and an easy quick drive to the Ren Faire for opening weekend. We would absolutely stay again! Everything was clean and well stocked—thanks so much!
