About this cottage rental

“IDRO” is a vintage cottage that has been treasured and preserved by one family. The exterior has been freshly painted. There are 3 bedrooms - one queen, one double, and a third with twin beds. There is a full bath upstairs with a claw-foot tub and shower, also a half bath on the first floor. It has a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, and a separate dining room that seats 8-10 that leads to a screened porch. The living room is open and comfortable with double doors joining the spacious wrap around porch. This is the perfect place to relax on the rocking chairs, hammock, or swing. There is off street parking for 3 vehicles.
* Linens and towels are provided. Our house cleaner always allows ample time for a full cleaning between renters and follows the CDC Cleaning and Disinfecting Guidelines.

“IDRO” is located in historic Mt. Gretna, a unique, wooded, lake town, with Victorian cottages. It has a busy summer schedule with music, theatre, and art programs. Within walking distance are restaurants, playgrounds, hiking and biking trails, miniature golf, and a roller rink. In addition, there is an old fashioned swimming hole complete with swings, floating docks, and canoes. Hershey and Lancaster’s Amish Country are within a short drive.

My sister and I manage the cottage to give our guests a more personal experience. Previous renters have left wonderful reviews calling IDRO “magical”, “a perfect getaway”, “a favorite place” and one that “feeds your soul”. One renter wrote, “The entire home was stocked with anything and everything we could need, which was impressive! The vintage dishes made me giddy and so much in the home reminded me of my childhood. The history of the cottage and all the decor and antiques were just beautiful. I will certainly be returning to IDRO :) Your great grandparents created a wonderful cottage.”

Lovely cottage with a perfect porch which is partially screened. Everything you could need for a stay was available except food. Centrally located to all Mount Gretna activities. The porch looks out on a lovely neighborhood park. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay..

Our family really needed a get away after my wife had recently finished chemotherapy. IDRO and Mount Gretna provided the quality family time we needed. IDRO a wonderful cabin that is very well maintained, well stocked with a beautiful wrap around porch that is partially screened in. It had plenty of space for our family of four and a really nice blend of rusticity and modern features. Sisters and owners, Cathy and Robin, did a great job of making us feel welcome. The same is true for Mount Gretna and its residents. We especially enjoyed evening walks around the community and meeting residents. We had a great time and hope to return soon. David

The home was beautiful and in a prime location. We loved it. So cozy, quiet, relaxing and it had everything we could possibly need. I loved the screened in porch to get away from mosquitos and then the air conditioning units upstairs were perfect for the night to cool off. Plenty of linens and dishware. Glad to see so much vintage character still in the home.

The cottage and the town of Mt. Gretna holds such tranquility and beauty. This property was perfect for our group of 40's and up. We enjoyed making and eating breakfast on the porth each morning and ending the evening on a rocking chair on the same porch. The house is perfectly equipped to cook, relax and savor the majestic oak trees. This is the type of place to unwind and reconnect with mother nature. Unfortunately, our trip was cut short by a family member passing but our hosts were very understanding of our situation and were in communication with us and even refunded part of our stay which was very much appreciated. Mt. Gretna is known as a spiritual campsite and based how kind and gracious the people of that town treated my family as we got the worst news of our lives; I'm eternally grateful that we were in such a soulful place in our time of great sorrow. What a lovely cottage in an idyllic place.

This property was rustic and full of history. The host was gracious and took the time to stop in and share history with the family. Check in was easy, once we figured out street setup. Didn’t help that we didn’t arrive in daylight hours so our fault, not theirs. Everything you could need was included. Wi-Fi was good. LOVED the large front porch. There are some lovely little restaurants. We especially enjoyed trivia night at The Hideaway and breakfast at Porch and Pantry. Although this wasn’t an issue for us, I would say if you have anybody with mobility issues this place would be challenging. We hope to return when our schedule permits.
