I contacted the property rental agency & they understood and took care of the problem. The house very well stocked and comfortable. The town was very peaceful with lots of walking roads, trees, outdoor music & events and our favorite place to eat (the Hideaway). Loved the place & the front porch.

Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Melanie H. Jun 11, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Cleanliness We were already familiar with Mount Gretna Cottages so we found the cottage to be charming. Well stocked with kitchen utensils, cookware sets, plus dinnerware and drinkware. Although I used all my linens and towels due to an allergy they were available as well. The front porch faces the street and it’s a nice place to relax and even eat meals there if you so desire. I’m going to give a constructive suggestion and that is that it needs a deep cleaning inside and out. I spent several hours the first day cleaning the outside and an hour each day cleaning. I realize that pollen, leaves and pine needles fall, but this was a large amount for a long time. The porch was coated with tree debris, pollen, dirt, dust and long cobwebs including on the beautiful rockers. The cleaning couple said that is not their job to do the outside. The pavers in the patio area should be pressure washed along with the grill cleaned thoroughly. The grill was molded. The inside of the house appeared to be superficially clean, but stove burner drip pans were dirty plus oven had not been cleaned. I didn’t use the one white coffee maker, but cleaned that because it was very dirty. The fan upstairs had dirt hanging from it and the floor vents and return vents in the ceilings were coated with dirt which the owner has a duty to ensure a high standard of cleanliness and health. The vacuum emitted a bad smell. It would have been nice to have screens in the windows and a small trash can in the powder room. ##### Melanie H.

Visually, the property was charming; looked exactly like photos. But staying there had drawbacks. Beds were quite hard; we developed backaches. The only window with a screen that allowed it to be opened was in the upstairs bathroom; others had no screens or didn't open. Although TV was new, it was not working upon arrival. Notified agent. TV was still not working when we left. Dining room chairs were, as pictured, heavy stools, most without backs. Using them was awkward and uncomfortable. Agreement did state we'd have to provide our own sheets, towels. Others might feel differently; but we decided this is too much of a bother. Paper products were provided. We appreciated the choice of eco friendly brands. ##### Marcia T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph s.

Aug 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nostalgia My husband's grandparents owned this cottage in the 1980s and he spent many summers in Mt. Gretna riding bikes, eating ice cream, shucking corn on the patio and celebrating family birthdays. We've visited for day trips over the years and when we saw the cottage for sale last year we knew that if it became a rental we would need to go. Since there are so few properties in the Chautauqua that are rentals I didn't want to miss an opportunity to stay here! Though much of the cottage has been redone, there were some things that remained the same. Our family enjoyed our stay here and it was a very relaxing place to spend a few summer days. We enjoyed rocking on the porch, going for evening walks and vising the Jigger Shop for sundaes and even benefited from hearing a fabulous concert from the porch one evening. Mt. Gretna is a special place in our hearts and we will be back to visit again! ##### Diane E. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason M.

Aug 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Break away from the heat and crowds Really enjoyed our Mt Gretna vacation at this property. We used the large front porch with rockers to enjoy tea on the cool mornings and listen to the evening music of Billy Joel and Barry Manilow (2nights). We had dinner at the hideaway and jigger shoppe (with ice cream) and another brass band concert. I loved walking the small streets to view all the houses without worrying about traffic and cars. My son played Mah Jong on the Hall porch. Overall the Gretna calendar of Chautauqua cultural events provided a lot of entertainment within easy walking distance. I visited MG many summers as a child and was excited to bring my kids to MG. We will be back. ##### Kim O. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michael W., Chicago, USA Jul 22, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Peaceful and beautiful location Mt Gretna is a step back in time. Beautiful and serene. Nothing but the sound of the birds in the morning. The area itself is just like the Black Forest in Germany. We had a busy body neighbor that chastised us about our vehicle. Not uncommon in these types of communities. Our major issue was the fact that listing did not mention that sheets and towels were not provided. We found out when we received the checkin instructions. It was at the end of the instructions and easily missed. We were attending a motorcycle convention and had we ridden from Chicago or flown in, having to pack sheets and towels would have presented a problem. We have rented a number of houses over the years and those items were always supplied. It seems like basic items that should be supplied. Lastly, we slept on the couches. The beds were just too hard. Perhaps adding some foam toppers would help. ##### Michael W. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne N.

It was comfortable, super clean, stocked with everything that anyone would need, and a great location. We loved staying here and are sure to return again.

Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed a few days in this perfect cottage - cooking meals, playing old fashioned games and walking around the community. The property was charming, comfortable and clean - we will be back! ##### Michelle A.
