Stayed here a few years back for the 4th and this year again for the 4th. Always a good time quiet neighborhood. Good for relaxing and close to Hershey park. Will be coming back more often now that my son is a little older!
Comfortable, charming, eclectic cottage with welcoming wrap around porch surrounded by tall rhododendrons. Walkable neighborhood. Great place to slow down and reconnect with self and others.
This was our 2nd time staying at The Cottage in the Woods, and it was just as nice as the first time. Staying in Mt. Gretna is magical, and we hope to do it again soon.
This little cottage was fabulous! The interior was comfortable and cute. There was a little play area upstairs. The beds were cozy, but not quite long enough if you're over 5'10".
I Loved the porch!
We'll definitely return if we get the chance.
I loved relaxing on the large porch in the mornings with a cup of coffee. The cottage was exactly as advertised. My only complaints were that we were expected to bring our own sheets, which seemed strange to me, and there was no hand soap in the upstairs bathroom. Otherwise it was a great stay and I would definitely stay again.
We absolutely adored staying at this adorable cottage. We were looking for an authentic Gretna experience and thatâs exactly what we got. From the carefully curated antiques to the peaceful perfection of the wraparound porch, my partner and I got the rest, relaxation, and regeneration we sought out.
Our family was looking for a weekend get-a-way as a substitute for our vacation bc of COVID. This place was just the ticket. A great location near a bike path/lake and loved spending time on the wrap-around deck. Thank you, William!
The cabin is quaint and quiet. Furnishings are period correct for a 1920's cabin....very cool, not always very comfortable. This would normally go largely unnoticed by us, but 5 of our 10 day stay was rain. There is a bit of a climb to get here, not the best choice for anyone with limitations. The porch is fabulous and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting out to read, watch the birds and smell the woods. Several good restaurants in the area and every person we encountered in Mt. Gretna was super friendly.
Absolutely loved this place! Was on a work/mini vacation and everything was fantastic. Wifi was great, the cottage was whimsical, clean, and comfortable. Hosts were super responsive (no issues, just had questions about a few things.) Beds comfortable, porch was awesome. Loved it.
Loved the colorful, funky kitchen and interesting collection of vintage furniture and decor. The wooded surroundings were beautiful, felt like we were in a treehouse when we sat on the porch. The narrow stairs were difficult for an elderly relative to navigate, but since they weâre staying elsewhere it wasnât a problem.
This place was fantastic! The cottage was the perfect size for a friend and I to escape the madness going on in the world right now. The porch has amazing views and listening to the tree frogs at night was so serene. I loved everything about this place! There is no parking now because the spot is now considered a handicap spot, but parking on the street was only a few yards away and the owner provided parking passes, so this did not disrupt our visit at all. If you want a place to relax, this is the perfect spot!!!
Charming historical home, appointed with period decor
Continually found treasures of a by gone era that added to the fun. Well stocked kitchen. Lovely walk through woods behind house. Eatery in walking distance, groceries 15 minutes away. Outdoor theater in walking distance. Nearby lake that we did not visit. Porch area quite large, well lit,breezy. Quiet neighborhood except for theater group practice. Host readily accessible and helpful. Would highly recommend to families or couples. I would worry about small children breaking antiques
The home is lovely. It was a good place for me to work. The porch is perfect for study.
The only difficulty was the mildew and mold smell. I needed to leave early because I got a sinus infection which was worsening.
This cottage fit our family of four perfectly. One child slept on the sleeping porch. The shabby chic decor, the comfortable beds, and stocked kitchen made our stay lovely. The porch is large and fit 14 of our family for a potluck dinner. It would be nice to have more light over the kitchen table. There is a chandelier but no way to turn it on. The rug on the 2nd floor is worn and although the kitchen and refrigerator were clean, the house was a bit dusty.
May want to get cobwebs. My wife feel down the wood steps outside,may want to put no skid risers on. Very bruised but not broken. Dont care for naked pictures.
What a charming place!!!!! The gas fireplace added so much coziness. I would say "perfect" but for a few considerations. We arrived after dark and had a hard time finding the ccorrect cottage. better signage and lights would have been so helpful. We are both older, I with severe osteoporosis and a fall could be very bad. The inside steps are steep and scary for someone like me. I felt afraid I'd fall down the steps on my way to the bathrooom at night. We mistakenly parked in our neighbors drive, again, no signage we saw at night. For younger, more agile folks, it would be a dream house, the bed very comfortable, so many charming aspects. the street light outside of the sitting room/tv room did require being blocked out by the couch pillows. there was a fair amount of noise from our neighbors, which interrupted a little the love I have of just sitting in the quiet of the porch. my partner would have been more comfortable with a better quality of toilet paper and a fan in the bathroom. All this said, it was still a wonderful delightful stay. . thank you
My wife and I grew up coming to The Mount Gretna Lake in the summer time. My uncle owned a summer home which I would visit and my Grand Parents always wanted a summer home here but never made it happen. When the opportunity to buy our cottage presented itself we moved on it and have never regretted our decision.
Very Cute romantic cottage in the woods. Very close to all the activity in Mount Gretna. Theater-Playhouse, Lake, Jigger Shop, Hideaway, Gift Shop, Playground Basketball Court
Cottage sits high above the street and reminds you of a very nice tree house. Cottage was built in the 1890s and still holds that original romantic charm.
