Notes from the host
Casa Gretna Treehouse
Your senses will be overcome with relaxation as you curl up by the crackling wood oven on the plush couch.
Cozy up on the sofa and play a movie for the family, or…
Indulge your eyes on panoramic views of luscious forest visible everywhere through floor to ceiling windows.
Feast your ears on sounds of songbirds or the gentle swooshing of a lake breeze through the leaves.
Watch the sun set into shades of orange and pink as you sip a crisp local wine on the wraparound porch.
As you drive up to this beautiful home, you'll be greeted with its red façade with steps leading to the cabin.
When you make your way up the steps and cross the threshold, you'll instantly find yourself in paradise: a fully stocked modern cabin with every amenity you might need in order to enjoy yourself yet feel at home.
"Casa Gretna Treehouse" - as it is lovingly called - is a thoughtfully furnished cabin situated in some of Central Pennsylvania’s best nature...
It's fit for up to six guests looking for a modern yet close-to-nature adventure.
The relaxed and quiet atmosphere here, coupled with medium-firm plush beds fitted with quality sheets (and darkening blinds in each room), guarantees you'll wake up each morning feeling refreshed.
The space features two unique living rooms. After a long day of fun, you can sink into any of the comfortable sofas and chairs they each offer.
Anywhere you decide to sit you'll be received by large windows, giving you access to the rich views which make you feel like you're among the trees.
And although T.V. is optional when you're in the mountains... there are two high definition Smart television's here for you.
When it's time for a hot meal or coffee or tea, you may be able to see deer grazing on grass and shrubbery from the large window in the kitchen. A set of binoculars on the windowsill await your curiosity.
Pots, pans, plates, glassware, utensils, blender, toaster, a toaster oven, crockpot, and every common kitchen utensil and tool are available for you. Sippy cups, plastic tableware, and a high chair are available for your little ones.
There is a dishwasher and tablets for you to use. As well as dish soap, new sponge, a bottle cleaner, and dish rags if you prefer that.
The gas range stove gives you the ability to whip up a meal for six or a beautiful brunch to enjoy on the deck or in the dining space.
And there's a drip coffee maker, french press, and tea kettle with plenty of coffee, decaf, and teas (both caffeinated and herbal) for your utmost convenience.
When you want to enjoy a meal together, there's a lovely wood dining table for you all to share.
The dining table seats four, but foldable dining trays are there to accomodate more.
There's also a charcoal grill with utensils for you to enjoy cooking outside. With plenty of outdoor seating at your disposal.
The master washroom has two sinks, comfortable toilet with a bidet, large bath tub, and always has a bath tray & bath bombs for you to unplug, take a nice hot bath, and forget about the world.
For your convenience, there is a heater right above the tub so you can step out of the shower feeling warm and refreshed.
Body soap, shampoo and conditioner, hand soap, Q tips, dental floss picks, extra toothbrushes, 2 hair dryers, extra toilet paper, and clean towels/wash rags are a few of the amenities you can expect to be provided for you.
As you waltz your way down to the first floor, you'll notice a cast iron wood oven.
Grab some firewood, a Duraflame log, and matches from any local gas station or grocery store, and cozy up next to it for a truly authentic cabin experience.
In this section of the cabin, you have a poker table with a real Hard Rock Casino Las Vegas poker set, Scrabble, Uno! Flip, Pictionary, Heads Up!, Bluetooth Karaoke mic, Scattegories, and about 8 other board games.
The TV here is fitted with a vintage Nintendo 64 with over 600 games for your enjoyment.
There’s also a bar with a cocktail kit, beer pitcher, wine & shot glasses, and a mini fridge to keep your beverages ice cold.
And beside the bar are beach chairs, beach mat, floaty, cooler, a beach bag, and speaker to take with you to the lake.
Beside the bar is a high efficiency washer and dryer so you can take home clean laundry with you. Detergent is made readily available to you.
And there is also a half bathroom with hand soap and plenty of toilet paper here. As well as a space heater, dehumidifier, and clothes drying rack if you choose to use them.
Overall, the house is decorated with throw pillows and blankets, lighting fixtures, plants, art work, and books.
There are travel guides, cookbooks, history books, and novels everywhere.
Titles by Ernest Hemingway, Louisa May Alcott, Neil Gaiman, David Baldacci, Suzanne Collins, William Shakespeare, and more.
In the master bedroom there are a number of children books and nighttime stories for the kiddos.
And throughout, you'll enjoy fast Wifi at an excellent 800 Mbps - suitable for everyone's devices.
Stepping outside, you will have a 3-4 seater hot tub in a screened sun room with plenty of seating around so the whole family can enjoy time together, with ash trays for smokers.
The cabin sits on nearly an acre of raw wilderness begging for you - or your furry companion - to explore.
We love dogs, and we understand how hard it can be to travel when you have to leave your furry friends at home.
There is a sofa cover in the second floor coat closet for your convenience - that way your puppers can sleep or sit with you on the sofa risk free. There are doggie bags, bowls, and paw cleaning rags for you here.
