Have you ever wanted to peek inside a Mount Gretna cottage?
The scores of cottages in the hills of Gretna are standing testament to the region’s past as a pleasure playground – a legacy that continues in part today.
Local residents and visitors alike can explore the architectural charm of Mount Gretna homes on a self-guided walking tour scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 5 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The tour provides an inside look at 10 unique Mount Gretna homes and three of the area’s historic structures. This year’s highlights include an artist’s studio, a property certified as a Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation, and the former Mount Gretna Inn.
Featuring a range of architecture from cozy weekend cottages to modern year-round residences, the tour showcases how homeowners have seamlessly melded modern living with the inherent charm of Mount Gretna’s woodside retreats.
