Comfortable cottage in a great location

We had a very relaxing 2 weeks in this comfortable cottage in an excellent location. We were a short walk from the Jigger Shop and playground which our grandchildren loved. The kitchen was well stocked with a pantry full of spices for cooking.

Comfortable cottage & porch & great location

We enjoyed staying in this well furnished cottage. The porch was our most favorite place to relax. The location couldn’t be more perfect and is two doors down from the outdoor theatre.

Christmas at Gretna

Due to a weather related emergency, we were unable to stay at our original cottage. Ashley and the team at Penn Realty pulled through and helped us to find another cottage at the last minute right before Christmas. Thanks to their thoughtfulness, my family and I were able to have a wonderful Christmas holiday in our home away from home. Beautiful cottages and nice people. We will be back. 😊 Mount Gretna is beautiful no matter what season.

Quaint cottage

So, this is a decent place in a very nice area. Great bar and restaurant within walking distance. Nice breakfast nook a couple blocks away. The property.... Add says fully updated... Maybe in the early 90's it was... The refrigerator doors were almost falling off, the sofa was well beaten in, and the recliners didn't work on it. Add says check-in is between 1-2 pm... We arranged our schedule and rushed to get there on time. We called about 1:15 when we realized we were running 15 min late. It was at this time we found out that the check-in was done via a "lockbox." The add really should say check in after 2. The "lockbox" was a cheap toolbox with a $0.50 lock on it. And inside were half a dozen unit rental packages... Not secure at all. Add says 2 parking passes for the unit... We only received 1, fortunately there was a small parking lot not far away. Entering the house we could immediately tell it hadn't been cleaned. There were small sticks and leaves all through the carpet. There was old coffee still in the coffee pot, dried on toothpaste in one of the bathroom sinks. The toilets were DISGUSTING. We spent an hour cleaning the place before we moved our stuff in. Sat down to relax, and around 3pm there was a knock at the front door. A man was there to clean the place. I called the host to inform him of the condition of the place, he agreed it was ridiculous that we payed an exorbitant cleaning fee, and had to clean the place ourselves. Said he would "see what he could do" and we never heard from him again.
