Located on a quiet, pedestrian-only walking path named after Otterbein University, known for its strong focus on transforming education and serving the common good – much like Mount Gretna itself! In fact, many streets throughout Mount Gretna were named after Universities – Harvard, Princeton, Yale, and Brown, just to name a few.
Ideal location directly overlooking Mount Gretna Tabernacle!
As You Lake It is one of the oldest homes in Mt. Grenta, built in 1895. You would never believe the mix of original and modern used to make this cottage work! Clean and clutter-free! Extensively remodeled in 2022 with modern upgrades – brand-new kitchen, living room, bedrooms, and bathrooms, hand-polished hardwood floors and new carpeting, light fixtures, and fresh paint throughout. All new furniture and appliances too!
The minimalist features of this cottage bring attention to calmness and simplicity. Reduce stress and relax, finding a sense of order in uncluttered rooms with soft color tones, open spaces, lots of natural light, and comfortable furniture placed with intention.
Dog Friendly!
