Big house, big yard, close to everything in Mount Gretna!!

Welcome to Happy Landing Bungalow!
It’s a large house with a huge yard. Feel like you are in the country but be close to everything.
The Hide-A-Way restaurant is a stones throw away, the Jigger Shop a comfortable walk. Gretna lake, roller rink and rails to trails a short drive.
The house offers four bedrooms, WI-FI, Cable TV, Smart TVs, Sauna in the Primary Bedroom and a Jetted Tub (not a hot tub) in the Primary Bathroom. The lower level is handicap friendly, featuring a walk in bathtub, a kitchenette, a queen size sleeper sofa, a large flat screen tv, and a twin size trundle bed in the adjacent room.

For those first time guests that are not familiar with Mount Gretna, Happy Landing and all of Mount Gretna is served by our local volunteer fire department located a stone’s throw from the house, just across the street from the Hide-A-Way Restaurant. It is not uncommon for the siren to sound at any time of day or night. There is no reason to be alarmed if it goes off during your stay as it is the way that the fire company alerts the volunteers that a call has come in that they may need to respond. We appreciate your understanding.

  • Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine and 3 bathrooms

This property is so beautiful and so well located. Everything that you would need and then some is provided. We've been coming for a long weekend in October for several years. I mentioned looking at other nearby houses for a change of scenery but NO ONE in the group wanted to stay anywhere else!

Peaceful Relaxing Getaway
The house was nice and spacious. It had a very homey feel. I loved the historical pictures of how the house progressed over the years. The porch was so nice and loved drinking my morning coffee and listening to the birds. It was secluded yet close to restaurants and activities. A very nice stay!

Family Visit to Hershey Park
We had a great time during our stay in Mount Gretna. Besides the Hershey Park fun we also enjoyed a self guided Covered Bridge tour, the Yuengling Factory tour and Ice Cream at the Ice Cream place in town....and the decks on the house were great...

Mt. Gretna
We stayed at the Happy Landing Bungalow while we were in town for our son's baseball tournament. There was plenty of house, and the yard was great. You can tell this home has been loved by the same family for years. We had a little problem the first day, but the owner took care it immediately. Would stay here again if we come back to the area.

Perfect for our needs
We needed a place that would sleep a lot of people as we were traveling to a big lacrosse tournament with three locations with another family. This place was perfectly situated between the three fields we needed to be at and gave both families the space we needed to be comfortable. This is an annual tournament and we will definitely be looking to book again next year!

Hershey Park Cousin’s Trip
Loved reading the history of the home and the families that have grown up in it. We felt very cozy and LOVED the outdoor yard. My son and I played football and my wife and I loved the swing seat to just watch nature. All the kids loved the bunk beds and my wife really enjoyed the sauna. The proximity of the restaurant was incredible. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your lovely home.

Comfortable, spacious home, great location!
We loved staying here! Wonderful home. All contact with the host, though little was necessary, was positive and timely. The only negative I would say is that you are almost forced to purchase renter's insurance; the alternative is paying a very hefty security deposit.

Nice house, good location
We enjoyed our stay at this property. It was within walking distance of the Jigger Shop, the Playhouse, playground and the Tabernacle. The only problem was that the 4th bedroom in the back of the house required that you had to go through another bedroom to get to it. This was a mild inconvenience. The kitchen was fully stocked and paper towels and dishwasher pods were provided. Toilet paper was also provided. Nice place with a nice deck and yard.

Amazing house & location
My hockey team plays at a nearby rink and this is our 2nd year staying at this house. While it did rain all wknd so we couldn’t enjoy the outside, the inside was A+ for keeping us entertained. The upstairs has a kitchen with everything you could need and the living room hosted movies & games. We will be back!

Friends Trip
Our trip was a get together for old friends. This place was perfect. Both the location and the space. Plenty of parking which was important as we had 5 cars given everyone was traveling from different locations. Mt Gretna is still a relaxing place to visit (we haven't been there in many years). The porch and yard were a big plus! Very clean and plenty of linens, towels and supplies like TP, paper towels, etc. I've been to several rental properties which usually have minimal supplies which are also low quality. This was a great place!
