This property was wonderful. The house is beautiful, the outside porch areas are fantastic. Comfortable beds and a clean space. We had some slight trouble figuring out the heat in the master bedroom but the Host repsonded quickly and was very helpful. I would love to stay here again!

Ponderosa Posse visiting PA
The Muhlenberg Cottage was perfect for our ladies trip to visit PA - it was centrally located and offered everything we needed. There was plenty of room for our group of seven, we could all sit around the table for dinner, conversation and games. The centrally located Cottage made it easy for our daily excursions to visit the beautiful area. Thank you, Emily, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Muhlenberg Cottage stay
We enjoyed a fantastic, fun-filled, weekend at the Cottage. Emily was great to work with. Quickly responded to the two questions we had during our stay. The Cottage had plenty of space to spread out and to enjoy a quiet conversation, some outdoor patio time, or the big screen Tv to watch football. The bedrooms were perfect, with comfortable beds. A great time was had during our 2024 cousins’ weekend. Thank you

Groomers getaway
The house was a lot larger than exoected. The layout was perfect. Everyone could be together but still be in their own space. The porch was perfect for morning coffee or evening drinks. We were there for the grooming expo so unfortunately didn't get to spend a lot of time at the house but we would all like to come back. Upon arriving you may feel like you are in the middle of nowhere ( which is great) but there are so many quaint shops and restaurants within a 10 minute or less drive. The large driveway was a huge plus.

Spacious
The house was very large and spacious. Everything was clean with nice furnishings. The kitchen had dishes, glasses, silverware, some pans and utensils. We cooked most of our meals there. We brought our own crock pot and disposable aluminum foil pans for casseroles. We brought our son, daughter-in-law and three grandchildren. We visited the Mt. Gretna lake and beach which was a nice family beach, the Lake Tobias Wildlife Park, Indian Echo Cavern, and Turkey Hill Experience which were all within an easy driving distance. It was a very nice family vacation.

Great location
While in the area for a wedding we also managed to visited Gettysburg, Hershey, Amish country and Philadelphia. Everything was close enough for day trips. The house was great. The pictures are very accurate. It had a lot of space to hang out. The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and cute. The area gave the vibe of a small mountain town. The owner’s communication was excellent.

Our 2023 Muhlenberg Cottage Christmas
It was the most perfect Christmas! I surprised my adult angels who are outgrowing my home for holidays so I got the idea to rent a home. I wanted woodsy- cabins feel- fireplace - big open airy. This Cottage was exactly what I envisioned! The only thing missing was the snow! Emily was sooo amazing throughout the booking process. The home was just perfect!!!

Fabulous for a group!
This property was spectacular for myself and girlfriends to catch up and explore the area. The design of the main level made it easy for socializing and there was plenty of room to sleep upstairs. The house was well equipped with the essentials and more. The house was also clean and well maintained. I loved having coffee on the porch in the early mornings. I would definitely stay here again and recommend the Muhlenberg Cottage!

Ren fair house!
This property was perfect for our needs and close to the PA Renaissance fair. Only 8 mins to it. My only complaints are that the room with the bunk beds looked much bigger in the photos, and the floor in one of the bedrooms was uneven. Over all the house was amazing. The owners are great at answering questions and everything was super clean.

Spacious clean and comfortable
Big home with all the essentials you would need including very comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, and comfortable seating areas. The only thing I would change is having another room with twin beds or bunk beds in it instead of a queen bed so that multiple children could sleep there independently. Everything is in walking distance. The owner was easy to work with and answered my questions in a timely manner. We enjoyed it very much!
