'Experience' The History In Downtown Gettysburg - 1st Floor
The home is a pre-civil war structure with modern conveniences. A witness to Lincoln's procession to the national cemetery where he gave his famous Gettysburg address, it sits in the middle of Gettysburg's historic district. You will have fun exploring the area; the adventurous will enjoy touring the 40 miles of battlefield roads (by bicycle, horseback or vehicle), tour a civil war house, talk to the soldiers in encampments and reenactments, or take a haunted ghost tour by night.
At the end of the day you can relax and enjoy your stay at our newly renovated 1st floor apartment or sit outside on one of the two decks. There are 2 bedrooms (a queen bed in each), and a pull out chair bed with an extra mattress for comfort in the second bedroom. There is 1 bathroom which consists of a tub/shower combo, a fully fitted eat-in kitchen, a TV/sitting room with cable TV, and Wifi. We provide you with towels, linens, handsoap, dish liquid, paper towels, toilet paper, pots and pans, utensils, coffee maker, toaster, iron and board, hair dryer; everything that will make you feel right at home!
You will love the location. We are with-in walking distance to restaurants, museums, the national cemetery where Lincoln gave his address, art galleries, shops, and everything else Gettysburg has to offer. Leave the driving to someone else and hop on the local trolley to see other out of town sites including the new national park service visitor center & museum, and cyclorama. You can take a day trip to surrounding Hershey park (50 miles), Washington DC (60 miles), Lancaster PA Dutch country (45 miles), or skiing about 10 minutes south of town.

We stay here often, we love the place and the great location so close to everything. Owner is wonderful to work with. We have already booked this rental for next year and are looking forward to coming back. Highly recommend this rental to anyone coming to Gettysburg for a vacation.
The location of this unit couldn't be better. We parked in the garage out back when we arrived and were able easily walk to shops and restaurants all weekend long.
Location was great and the space had its charms. Steps were a bit steep and narrow (not unexpected in an old building) so might not be great for someone with mobility issues. The common area was perfect for our two days there. A great stay.
Small family gathering with myself, my husband, son and my sister. Enough space to enjoy a couple of nights, touring the Battlefield museum and just hanging out.
We had a lovely relaxing time in a beautiful civil war home on historic Baltimore Street. You can easily walk to many attractions. The house was very comfortable and well equipped with everything you need. There is plenty of off-street parking too. Will definitely stay again!
Wonderful place to stay in the heart of Gettysburg. Walk to the many restaurants in the town, step out the back door and there’s Cemetery Ridge and Culp’s Hill. Rod is the perfect host, and the historic house contains everything that could be needed.
Civil war era home. Centrally located with easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, national cemetery. Short drive to the civil war visitors center and the national Park. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable. The owner was helpful in giving suggestions for area attractions.
Perfect welcome - comfortable and convenient. Very engaging hosts and PRIVATE GARAGE PARKING !!! We just moved to Gettysburg and we needed a place to rest and recharge during our move. Couldn't have been more fortunate 😎
We had a great stay. It's an old historic home so it doesn't have all the modern conveniences but it is very comfortable, clean, and has many stores and eateries right outside your door. You can easily walk around town and sightsee. The host was very responsive to our needs. We had a good time and will be back.
We were in Gettysburg to watch our granddaughter play volleyball at the college. Location was great. I thought we would hear a lot of road noise but it was very quiet. Places to eat with in walking distance
Clean and comfortable!
Hosts were very accommodating. Games started at 3 and We were able to check in early.so we didn’t have to rush.
All and all it was a good place to stay.
Great place! Plenty of room for four adults! Convenient location to everything! Loved walking to dining, shopping and attractions! Definitely would stay there again!
Cute historic home close to shops, restaurants and historic sites. Enjoyed morning coffee on the deck. Friendly host who is very accommodating. Everyone enjoyed the stay.
The house was in a great location, we were able to walk to several stores, restaurants and even parts of the battlefield. The owners were very friendly and responsive to any questions we had.
We loved our stay. The location is great and within walking distance to the battlefield and most restaurants. The house is historical and very cool itself. Only downside, its on the main road and in the summer time, the motorcycles were really loud.
We had a wonderful time in Gettysburg and this property was perfect for us. My family of three enjoyed the convenience of the location to the battlefield, downtown, ice cream shops, and historical buildings. We had everything we needed and the owners were very kind and helpful! We highly recommend!
This place was perfect for our stay in Gettysburg! The location was in the middle of everything we wanted to do in town. The private parking saved us on parking fees. Easy walking distance to many things, so easy even I, with some mobility issues, could do it.
