Quaint old house
The house met our needs. Floors are unlevel but that didnt bother us. Several boards were actually split and the floor felt weak in those areas. We were unable to turn on the heat in the double bedroom but we just used an extra blanket.

Super cute!
We had a great stay at this super cute place! It had everything we needed! Two full bathrooms were really convenient. We had trouble making friends with the Keurig, but my husband figured it out. My husband also realized that he went to high school with the owner and we actually ran into him at the pizza shop! Great guy! We'll be back!

Weekend stay
We had a great time over the weekend. We were there for a baby shower being held at the Mt Gretna fire hall. We could walk to the shower from the house. So this property was perfect for the weekend.

Beautiful Location!
We were looking for a place near Hershey Park that allowed dogs…something a bit rustic and simple that my 7 and 16 month old grand-babies weren’t going to destroy. 114 Otterbain fit our needs perfectly! In the end, it was Mt. Gretna that turned out to be the Main Attraction…such a unique and magical little place…like an Enchanted Forest. Looking forward to my next (adults only) trip already!

Great getaway
Nice comfortable cabin in a great location. Enjoyed the entertainment at the Tabernacle, the outdoor art show, food within walking distance and a quiet neighborhood. Our only suggestion would be to fix the broken handrail at the front steps.

Great Getaway
Property was exactly as advertised. It was clean and the linens/sheets/blanket/towels were just what we needed. many properties in Mt. Gretna don't provide them. We were traveling from many locations and this made our packing much easier. Beds were very comfortable!

Cute quirky house!
The neighborhood and house are quirky and adorable. I would love to see this area in the summer and I bet in the fall it is beautiful! The house looked exactly as described and pictured except the 2 twin beds are actually a trundle bed. The house was VERY CLEAN. I do wish the upstairs bathroom had a small vanity instead of a pedestal sink for some counter space. Also there was no mention the parking was offsite until we got check in instructions. It was no issue for us since we had good weather, but if it was raining would have been terrible. Overall a great stay and would definitely recommend!!

Quiet Getaway
I recently stayed at a quiet cottage in Mt. Gretna and found it to be a peaceful retreat. While not ideal for larger individuals, the beds were surprisingly comfortable, and the kitchen met our needs, though we couldn't locate the hot pads. Beware of the incredibly loud fire station siren. On the positive side, there's an excellent local bar/restaurant called The Hideaway within walking distance. However, we encountered some inconveniences like leftover garbage in the bins from previous guests, and we had to leave our trash there. Also, a potential safety concern was a storage room filled with cleaning supplies and construction materials. Despite these issues, it was an overall good stay, and I would recommend it.
