Our extended family enjoyed the large house! There was ample gathering space, and the kitchen was large and well stocked. Beds were comfortable, and there were enough bathrooms for all. The house was very clean! It had 6 parking spots plus parking passes for more cars. All in all, a great house for a large group!

Dad's surprise 80th birthday party

My family was very impressed with this property. Only issue we had was the blender bottom seal was shot and lead to leaking our mixed drinks during the stay. Kitchen was impressive.The black make up towels and tea kettle brought back my Westin work life. The bedroom with the jacuzzi was very comfortable and family had no problem with sleeping

Great For Big Groups!

Eight of us stayed here for a weekend. It was as advertised, with plenty of space for us to spread out in. Everything was clean and working well. The one downside is that the children's playroom, which we had planned to use as a bedroom, was unusable due to a foul smell, as if an animal had died in the wall. We were nonetheless able to accommodate everyone and had an excellent weekend.

Great house for girls weekend to celebrate a 60th birthday. Surprised there were no TVs listed for the house. But brought my projector and Roku and WIFI was great for streaming movies. Was very clean. Kitchen well equipped for our needs. Lots of space to relax. Provided sheet, plenty of towels and basics like dish detergent, hand soap, paper towel and toilet paper. Area nice for walks and exploring Mt Gretna. Check in and checkout was easy. Would recommend this property.
