The house had enough space for our family of five to both spend time together and spread out. Mt. Gretna community is very friendly and it was nice to get around without having to drive. There is a lake, icecream shop, and even a tiny kid library within walking distance. The inside of the house was clean, but the porch looked like it has not been touched in a while. We ended up cleaning it ourselves, so that we could enjoy that (very large) space. There was also no working coffee maker and the garbage/ recycling was not taken out for quite some time. I am hoping that the management company will address these few things promptly. Overall we had a nice stay.

Nice property, beautiful porch and most of the things we needed. Only complaint was parking not designed for anything but compact cars and there was no curtains in bedrooms to help block early sun rise. Most appliance were ava that were listed except the crockpot and blender.

Went with family in September to the renaissance festival and had great time. This house needs more than a thorough cleaning. Neighbor indicated owner has 2 big dogs. A quick vacuum and Febreeze does not constitute cleaning when urine stains are on the floor coverings and heavy dog dander is on the couch. Just went to another dog friendly VRBO and no sign of previous pets. We had to put the full vacuum cleaner out on the porch. As you walk up the stairs and get nose/floor level, urine again. We are not talking about 'that old house smell'. Would have also liked to have had some kind of window coverings on the downstairs windows. Don't like giving bad reviews so waited till we went to another VRBO. No comparison. Rug + couch needs professional cleaning or replacing. Cannot in good faith recommend this cute old house to others, sadly.

This is our second stay at this property. It is located between Harrisburg, Hershey, and Lancaster, which is a great location for us to meet up with various family. We took a walk thru the Mt Gretna neighborhood and walked down to the lake. Nice informal, casual surroundings.

The property is a charming cottage in a unique neighborhood. There are lots of neighbors close by but everyone we encountered was very sweet. The house was cozy and well equipped with kitchen supplies. I found it a bit odd that we had to supply our own linens and paper products, but that wasnt a deal breaker. The check in process was very different to me, having to go to a seperate location to retrieve the key. When i punched the address into the gps it took me to a different house but everything was numbered and it wasnt too hard to find the correct place. It was walking distance to a breakfast place and a restaurant/bar, which was very convenient.
