Quaint 'Gretna Getaway' Cottage w/ Screened Porch!

Nestled in the small town of Mt. Gretna, 'Gretna Getaway,' a 2-bed, 1.5-bath vacation rental cottage, is just that - a true getaway! This quaint property will charm you with its desirable amenities and dreamy screened porch - the perfect place for friends and family to gather. The home comfortably sleeps 4 in beds, but can accommodate groups of up to 6 with provided additional sleeping arrangements. From this prime location, explore the town's historic streets or swim and boat at Conewago Lake!

-- THE PROPERTY --

Even with rustic decor, this cozy cottage exudes elegance with its modern amenities and tidy appearance. It truly calls for you to succumb to a peaceful state of mind - framed by an atmosphere that's reminiscent of simpler times.

The property's main feature, the whimsical screened-in porch, will serve as the main gathering spot during your downtime! Hanging paper lanterns and plush outdoor furnishings set a relaxing mood; encouraging you to enjoy everything from morning coffee to dinner al fresco within it's inviting border.

Inside, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay. A flat-screen Smart TV equipped with Roku and Xbox 360 provides family-friendly entertainment while wireless internet access allows you to remain connected with your friends and family from afar. Even enjoy the convenience of in-unit laundry machines!

Through the open hallway, seamlessly transition into the fully equipped kitchen furnished with modern appliances and ample cookware. While the chefs prepare dinner, friends can snack on hors-d'oeuvres at the spacious bar. Once everything is ready, gather the bunch at the dining table to savor the culinary creation.

While each day must end, there is no better way to complete it than with a warm shower in the full bathroom, stocked with soft towels. Slowly transition into a calm night spent reading the newest bestseller in one of the 2 bedrooms. Make sure to turn the light off before entering a restful sleep in either a queen or full bed - both guaranteed to leave you feeling refreshed the following morning.

-- THE LOCATION --

Straight out of a storybook, historic Mt. Gretna, with gently wooded mountains, a bubbling stream, and sparkling lake, provides travelers a cozy Pennsylvania getaway no matter the season! Charming cottages, art galleries, and tasty cafes add the perfect features to the nostalgic atmosphere of this 1890's town - where your ideal rental property is perfectly situated within walking distance to numerous attractions and restaurants.

In the summer, put on your bathing suit, lather on sunscreen, and head to Conewago Lake, less than a mile down the road. A day fee will allow you to sunbathe, swim, boat and more at this petite oasis. It's also the perfect place for a family picnic!

A short walk into town will lead into a fun evening with a musical or comedy at Mount Gretna Playhouse, located just a few minutes away. Continue the night with bar bites and microbrews while jiving to live music at Mt. Gretna Hide-A-Way. Once your eyes grow tired, a quick walk around the block will have you resting comfortably in your home-away-from-home.

For those seeking outdoor adventures, venture just a mile to the Governor Dick Nature Preserve, offering hiking and biking on well-maintained trails along with 130 boulder routes on diabase rock. Additionally, you'll find excellent cross-country skiing in the park during winter. For more family-friendly entertainment, head to Hersheypark - where you can enjoy thrill rides for all ages.

Lastly, make sure to check out the numerous wineries found close to the home! The Vineyard at Hershey, Royal Oaks Vineyard, and Cullari Vineyards offer a chance to experience the region through the sense of taste - all located within 17 miles of the property. Don't miss out on Mt. Hope Estate and Winery's Pennsylvania Renaissance Fair that takes place late summer to fall. If a fresh brew is more your style, breweries such as Mt. Gretna Brewery and Troegs Brewery are just a short drive away.

So cute!

We come up annually for the PA Renaissance Festival, This was a nice change of pace from hotels. A cozy little home a few miles from the faire. It was also walking distance to the Hideaway - one of our favorite restaurants to visit when we're in the area. The tub upstairs is a little small, but totally usable. It's also not very sound proof. You can hear every thing from every room, which made it hard to put a baby down to sleep and still have normal speaking conversations on another floor.

Some minor concerns. Note, it was a very lovely house, once we got in, and we enjoyed our stay there. We arrived at 7:00pm, and it was impossible to figure out which place was the unit. Please, please, put up a visible house number that can be seen from both roads at night. The property uses an older style lock box for the keys, and I did not recognize it as a lock box. It would be helpful to use a label maker to say 'lock box' or tape a sign on it. Another thing did not affect us, but it might affect other people renting the house. I believe the listing said the parking area could hold two cars. I really don't see how you could fit two cars in the space without rearranging the outdoor furniture and being really careful to park the first car before the second car. The final minor thing may not affect most visitors, but it may affect those of us who are starting to have physical limitations. The house is not wheelchair accessible (there are a few steps to the 1st floor, and the 2nd floor has quite a few steps). The house has two floors. The first floor is a living room, dining room, kitchen, and 1/2 bathroom. The second floor has two bedrooms and a full bathroom with a shower. I had packed the suitcases a little full. I could lift them up a few stairs, but I found I could not lift them to the second floor, and I just left them in the living room during our stay. As I said, it was a very lovely. Once we got setup, we enjoyed ourselves.

Our family of 4 stayed for 4 days and had the most wonderful time. The cottage is sparkling clean and immaculately decorated!! A highlight for us was relaxing on the beautiful screened in porch with charming lighting and comfy and clean outdoor furniture. The property owner was a pleasure to do business with, they were welcoming, kind and very prompt with their responses. We can’t wait to come back to this exact cottage someday!!!

A Charming, Cozy Cabin Experience

We stayed at the Gretna Getaway for two nights in January. Though the weather was super cold outside, we were cozy and warm in the cabin. Everything about the cabin was top-notch. We loved the natural wood interior, comfortable seating and beds, and a well-stocked kitchen. Mt. Gretna itself is really charming with an interesting history, and we were withing walking distance of some great hiking trails. Highly recommend!

Just What I Needed

I enjoyed my stay at this lovely, quaint cottage in Gretna. When I was a child my family owned a cottage and we frequented it often. With the recent loss of my parents I chose to revisit for a couple days of solace and healing. This Cottage gave me everything I needed. It was a pleasant and freeing experience. Thank you

Wedding Weekend Rental

My husband (!!) and I married in Mt Gretna and rented this gorgeous cottage to stay in the weekend of our wedding. Everything was beautiful and perfect. The cozy cottage decor is thoughtful, with lovely old bound books, a record player, and hints of forest, nature, history, and adventure throughout. When we arrived the place was spotless, with careful attention to details. Couldn’t have asked for a cuter house or a better location. We definitely plan to return.
