Beautiful Yr Round Cottage Great Porch, Heart of MTG, Near Hershey, Lititz, Lanc

"The Wander-Inn Pines" cottage is perfectly located in the heart of the camp meeting within walking distance to everything "Mount Gretna". This classic Mount Gretna Cottage dates back to 1910 and was originally named Pine Scents. Our cottage offers three bedrooms, one bath, open floor plan, private parking, and an amazing porch. As you Wander through the first floor of the cottage you’ll find the living room with the original rustic hard wood floors. There is an electric fireplace, and a custom bar that opens into the fully equipped kitchen. Continue into the dining area with a coffee and tea station and expandable table that can seat six. Wander up stairs to the second floor and you’ll find three bedrooms, a bath, and washer and dryer. The spacious Master Bedroom has a Queen sized Timber Framed Bed, knotty pine furniture, and glider chair. The Blue Room has a classic feel with a comfy double bed, art deco dresser, and dry sink. The third room hosts a bunk with a twin on top and a double bed on bottom. It has a games cabinet that looks like a dog, and is a perfect place for kids to chill, laugh, and sleep comfortably. The bath has an oversized shower, vanity, and large toilet. There are hooks throughout all the rooms for robes, towels, etc. We provide linens and comfy towels.
The thing we love the most is our big Mount Gretna porch! There are three areas, so take time to enjoy them all. We have two large swings. The larger swing was a gift for my wife when our son was born. She spent her first Mother’s day with him on that swing. Nowadays we mostly use it for reading, sipping wine, and watching humming birds. The smaller swing was from the family cabin where my wife and her grandmother would sit to read and sing. The lounge area is a great place to relax, chat and have a happy hour if you are so inclined. The outdoor table invites you to take time and relax over a meal. We sit here for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The ceiling fans, wind chimes, and raised porch add to the vibe and call on one to relax, rejuvenate and enjoy life! The Cottage features unique touches, which include handcrafted timber accents from the woods of Mount Gretna and even some of my original sculptures and artwork!
(Sorry, we love furry friends, but we ask that you give them a much needed stay-vacation at home while you are visiting our cottage)

Close Home to others
Overall this house was very nice. There is only 1 parking spot so if you are traveling with friends/family. One can park near the house the others will park in a gravel lot close by. The roads are very tight and a lot of the roads are one-way so make sure you pay attention to the signs. The people who live around there are very nice and will help you if you get lost in the small community. The home itself is older but very nice. The 3 rooms are on the top floor and the 1st floor has the kitchen, dining room, and living room. The porch outside is so nice with the swings and fans it's a cool place to hang out. My only warning is if you are on the clumsy side please be careful on the stairs. Just take it slow or sideways and that's the best way to go up and down.

Wonderful Family House in the Perfect “Location
This is a wonderful home. The house is so comfortable and the bed rooms are great. The bathroom is very very nice and large. There are air conditioners in every room which makes it great on hot summer days. The best part is the porch. It is so large and comfortable. It also has ceiling fans. The kitchen has everything you need to prepare the perfect meal. A full size refrigerator/freezer is a big plus. Everything is provided such as towels and sheets. The house is super clean and tidy. The location is near enough to a basketball court and small playground for children old enough to go on their own. The neighbors were wonderful. The hosts were the best we have found from a VRBO rental. They keep in contact before the trip. Upon arrival they check with you once you check in to ensure everything is what you expected. They are so kind and caring. The house has plenty of board games the whole family will love. Over all this is one of the best properties we have stayed at, if not the best. We will be staying here again!

Quaint. Quiet. Beautiful
Sit on porch for breakfast in the cool morning. Beautiful cottage with comfortable beds! Neighbors were friendly and inviting. Basketball court playground in walking distance. This was the perfect spot to forget the world, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Stroll through the area. Ice cream not too far from cottage and you can fish if you want. I will be back again! Thank you for having me! Enjoyed every minute of time well spent!

Wonderful Experience Once Again!
This was the second time my mom and I stayed here and we loved it more than ever. Our favorite part is the huge wrap around porch which is where we spent most of our time. Mt. Gretna is a very special place and we are hoping to return many times to this cottage!

Mt Gretna Getaway
Very quaint and exceptionally quite. It was like stepping back in time 100 years ago. We had coffee on the porch every morning before our adventures and then a glass of wine every evening after our adventures. Very peaceful and tranquil. Neighbors were very friendly throughout the stay. Would strongly recommend
