Mt. Gretna cottage

Heat wave across the state, but it was comfortable under the trees. Spent most of our time on the large porch with lots of comfortable seating. This cottage had the best pots & pans of any rental we have ever stayed in. Would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful stay

We enjoyed our stay in this charming cottage - most especially sitting on the lovely porch while listening to the various birds. The bed was comfortable and we appreciated the air conditioning. We brought our own coffee and Moka Pot with us - though there is a French Press in the house for making coffee. The listing photos of the house are accurate. We enjoyed a very peaceful stay in this campmeeting community and hope to return soon.

What an excellent place for a short getaway. Perfectly located in an idyllic location to just relax and enjoy the quiet woodlands community of Mt. Gretna. The property was exactly as described. Charming, clean and cozy. The front porch was a favorite spot.

Lovely cottage in the Woods.

This one story two bedroom property was lovely, clean & comfortable. It had a long, wide, well furnished porch with lighting & fans which made it enjoyable for sitting outside. The kitchen was well equipped. The cottage was nicely decorated with comfortable furniture & beds. All in all a charming refuge in Mt. Gretna.

Charm and Comfort in Mount Gretna!

Pam graciously got the cottage ready for us on a last-minute booking. The ceilings are high, the porch is big, and the beds are super comfy! We loved the big windows, the cozy furniture, and how bright the house was. Can't wait to come back to Mount Gretna!

Cozy Cottage on a Quiet Weekend

We enjoyed our stay at 7 Arches. Everything was as described on the listing and the host was very communicative. We enjoyed our time on the porch and around the table. It is in a great location for exploring the area by foot. It was a chilly and rainy weekend in the fall and we really appreciated all the extra blankets around to cozy up in!

Beautiful property

The place is very tastefully decorated. Be sure and look around. It should be noted the bed in the master is very high. There is a step, but with limited mobility it wasn't ideal, but I managed. I will say the beds were comfortable. We were disappointed that we couldn't use the fireplace that was one of the things we searched for when booking. It was an enjoyable stay in a comfortable place and I would recommend it.

Pam and Geof were fantastic to book with, very responsive.

Traveled to Pennsylvania with parent's and needed a home for three nights. This house is so enchanting and the community is unbelievable. We fell in love with the area and will definitely be back in warmer months to enjoy all of the activities the charming town of Mt. Gretna has to offer. The home is gorgeous and well kept and was super comfortable for us with everything located on the first floor and very few steps. Thank you Pam and Geof for sharing your quaint spot with us. We left with our hearts warm. :)

Opmerkelijke locatie

Gezellig, maar erg donker huis, in een dorp met een interessante geschiedenis. Begin mei is er van de kunstenaars niet veel te merken. En het was te koud om op de veranda te zitten. Het dorp is omgeven door bossen en fijn is het restaurant op vijf minuten loopafstand.
