My family really enjoyed our stay at the Butterfly Cottage! We were visiting Hershey Park and wanted an alternative to a hotel room. The cottage was about 25 minutes from the park, but it was well worth it! We all enjoyed having our own beds and space after the long days at the park. The cottage had everything we needed, and was in a nice peaceful neighborhood. We cooked a few times, and found that the kitchen was well stocked. The owners were great to work with as well!

The check in and communication was wonderful, we felt very welcomed with a nice treat waiting for us. Everything was clean and tidy. There are window AC units to cool the cottage. It's a little weird that the single layer of wood panel is all that there are for walls - no studs or regular framing. All the wiring is exposed, and the main line into the house is very accessible to everything and that made me nervous. Additionally, the quiet times and no smoking need to be stressed more. The borough rules are VERY strict. It wasn't an issue for us, but could be a problem for others.

Great location and clean inside.

We love Mt. Gretna, and we loved staying in the Butterfly Cottage. The home is well outfitted and in the summer, it would be lovely to enjoy the porch. We particularly loved the faux fireplace in the living room that kept us toasty. Just one caution: this cottage might not be ideal for light sleepers. Some of the bedroom doors do not close all the way, and the traditional Philadelphia siding walls are very thin with gaps. Unfortunately, one snorer in our party meant most of us didn't sleep very well! Otherwise, a perfect stay. Thank you!!!

The house was in a great location, on a beautiful street in a picturesque village. The owners had the house well cleaned and prepared for our family of 5. The house has a ton of charm! The binder on the island was full of useful information about the house, the village and the area. While we did not need to contact the owners at all during our stay, it was obvious they are very attentive and would have made themselves available for anything we had questions about or needed help with. We'll definitely stay here the next time we come back to enjoy Hershey Park and the area.

Clean and cozy cottage in a lovely area. Great location for hiking and biking.

We had a wonderful time even though the weather was less than ideal. The house is very comfortable and this is the second year in a row that we have visited.

Gorgeous forest location, perfectly cozy patina

We had a great stay. Quiet, cozy cottage, stocked kitchen, comfy beds. Perfect for a long weekend.

This was our first time staying on the grounds at Mount Gretna and it was wonderful. The cottage was exactly as described and we enjoyed being in such close proximity to the Art Show on the grounds and an easy quick drive to the Ren Faire for opening weekend. We would absolutely stay again! Everything was clean and well stocked—thanks so much!

This cottage was beautiful and had everything we needed. Our family had an amazing stay here. Highly recommend!

Our group of 4 (2 adults and 2 older teens) had a wonderful time at the butterfly cottage, which had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We were within walking distance of Gretna Theater and the beach, and enjoyed learning about the history of the area. We hope to make a return trip!

The kids and I enjoyed our stay immensely! The cottage was perfect. We enjoyed the lake, fairy gardens, Jigger Shop and playgrounds. It's a magical family spot.

Great area to stay in. Close to Hershey park hiking/bike trails. Easy check in, very clean home. Owners respond to messages almost immediately.

Mt Gretna is such a neat place, and we appreciated the quiet. Cute cottage with just the space we needed. Very communicative hosts.

Our family of 6 fell in love with Mr. Gretna and this little cottage! The cottage was in the perfect spot for loading our small children in our wagon and walking to the playground, library, music, and ice cream shop. Some of the other homes would have been much more difficult to use our wagon due to big hills. The Butterfly Cottage was the best-stocked rental we’ve ever stayed in. The kitchen has everything you could possibly need. We did lots of cooking, and we found the kitchen easy to use. They even had kid dishes and cups, bandaids, ziploc bags, you name it! When we messaged the owner about a brush for cleaning the grill, he was very responsive. Within a couple of hours he dropped off a whole grilling kit to make sure we had everything we might need. Amazing hospitality! The air conditioners worked well, even in mid-July. We especially enjoyed the front porch. We are many dinners there and just hung out in the comfy chairs. I really can’t think of any complaints to share. It is a very old cabin with creaky floors and difficult doors, but that’s to be expected. If we are back in the area, Butterfly Cottage will be our top pick for lodging. Great price, great house, great owner, great location. You just can’t beat it!

Place was clean and everything was good to go.

This is the third summer I rented this cottage. Once with friends and two times with my spouse. It is in a great location and within walking distance of all that Mt. Gretna offers.

Close to everything, and a nice Gretna style home.

The property is perfectly located in Mount Gretna and exactly as described in the listing. I can't recommend it enough and hope to stay here again!

Very pleasant, just as advertised!

My two friends & I had a lovely weekend at Butterfly Cottage! The front porch is a great place to hangout. The cottage is as described. My only suggestion would by a table lamp in the living room. The lighting is all overhead and really bright, a minor thing. We had a fantastic time!

We had a lovely stay at the butterfly cottage. We loved the big porch, and the kids really loved the “secret passage” they discovered in the upstairs. We made some very good memories and we hope to stay again next year.

Cute and quaint. The front porch and back yard seating were delightful.

Thank you for sharing your home with us. The chocolates, bottle of wine and kcups definitely we’re appreciated and added a special touch. We loved staying at your cottage and would definitely stay there again!:)

This home is insulated with new windows and doors, and new plumbing and lighting. It was comfortable for the whole week without turning on heat or AC.

Beautiful community

Love being in the forest.. Backyard chairs metal without any chair pads. Couldnt sit there. .Not easy to sit together in one room. Got a $50 ticket for parking across the street opposite traffic. Very tight area near edge of road to park..Beds comfortable , prob wouldnt stay there again but price was good.

Beautiful area! Very quiet community. Loved the old charm of the place !

We enjoyed our stay at the Butterfly House and look forward to booking again next year.

We recently stayed while visiting family in Mt Gretna and Butterfly Cottage has retained the quaintness and structure of the original Chatauqua cottage while marrying it with the conveniences of our modern life. We enjoyed both the rear patio and the front porch that is the heart of Mt Gretna cottage life and you can glimpse the lake through the trees. Our hosts welcomed us with local wine and Wilbur buds chocolates and provided everything to make our stay a pleasant one. We hope to return.

Great location, great porch.great towels, comfortable beds…the place was just what we needed to remember how great Gretna is.
