Mount Gretna Heights Cottage | Large Shadywood Cottage with Wrap Around Porch

5 Bedroom Cottage in Mount Gretna Heights, Mount Gretna

Shadywood Cottage was built by Susan Welker Adams in 1903 and has been owned by the same family through four generations. Take a trip to a more peaceful time in this charming, campmeeting community filled with many Victorian gingerbread-trimmed cottages and quiet walking streets. Mt. Gretna is a storybook lake community only 14 miles from Hershey, Pennsylvania. The town has a world-renown summer theater, an equally famous concert series, and is host to one of the best art shows of the summer.
This spacious Cottage has 5 bedrooms, 2 baths (1 upstairs / 1 downstairs), washer dryer on the first floor, and wifi. There is private covered parking for up to 4-5 cars and a gas grill. The cottage is not air conditioned, but has ceiling fans in every room upstairs and down, and on the wrap around porch.
The first floor has a fully functional kitchen with dishwasher, large living room and a dining room with seating for up to 10. The huge porch wraps around the cottage and includes a swing and many rockers to enjoy the sights and sounds of those warm Mt Gretna nights.
Upstairs has five rooms with a full sized bed in each, plus 2 sets of bunk beds and a crib. The cottage comfortably sleeps 14, perfect for large family gatherings. There are ceiling fans in every room. Towels and bed linens are provided.
The walls in the bedrooms only rise 7 feet so the old-time roof structure is exposed. Guests say they love lying in bed looking at the old wood and hearing the kids' conversations in the next room. Mostly all the cottages in Mt. Gretna have 5/8" old chestnut or hard pine interior walls (wood no longer available) so sound does travel freely. If you're bringing uncle George who snores like a freight train going up an Allegheny Mountain you might not want to stay in Mt. Gretna (or get him a hotel room) as all cottages were originally built as summer cottages from 1892 through 1915.
There are three restaurants and an ice cream parlor within walking distance. The Jigger Shop Ice Cream Parlor has been in operation since 1895. The Porch & Pantry is open from 8am to 1pm every day except Monday. The Mt. Gretna Pizzeria is open Wednesday through Sunday; closed Monday and Tuesday. There is also a nostalgic roller rink, miniature golf, and Mt. Gretna lake that are seasonally open.

Summary: This old house was very neat. You can tell the family is trying to preserve the history of the place while also making it more modern. We loved the porch! Just a very nice place to stay. Would love to do so again.

Summary: The house, located in the charming Chautauqua community, was just a short walk to the Mt. Gretna Art Show. The house was just as described, a no-nonsense sort of place with a huge front porch. It felt like stepping back in time. Lots of fun.

Summary: This beautiful cottage served our purpose well with 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, as we were a group of 8. Check-in and check-out process was very easy as we were given well explained communications. The location was good (close to Hersheypark) and it was in a quiet neighborhood. Kitchen was well equipped as well as well stocked with essentials. I thought maybe no air conditioning would be an issue, but it wasn't. The ceiling fans were plenty. Would stay there again.

Summary: The property was easy to access with instructions emailed by the owner. The porch had plenty of seating for the whole group. The bedrooms were as described. The kitchen and bathroom were fully stocked. There was even complimentary laundry soap. This property has quiet hours similar to campgrounds but for approximately 6 weeks the quiet hours are 24 hours not just at night time. This did not affect our stay however is not listed in the description.

Summary: The perfect place for our small group of families. The property was close to Hershey Park and hiking. The town of Mt. Gretna was quaint and welcoming. A highlight was playing games and building puzzles on the beautiful wrap around porch after a busy day. Adults and kids had a wonderful time.

Summary: Everything is exactly as posted. Plenty of room, kitchen had everything we needed, enough room for everyone around the dining room table which doubles as a game table and the Perfect Porch! Host was quick to respond to and resolve smoke detector issue. Our family favorite was all the seating and rockers on the porch, a great place for sharing all those old family secrets! Thanks you Holly for opening your home so others may enjoy!
