'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.

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.

Perfect town location

The apartment was right in the heart of Gettysburg, walking distance to shops, ice cream, restaurants. The apartment had a vintage true Gettysburg feel and was just as pictures online presented. It had air conditioning and wifi which were important for our family. Top of the line washer and dryer available as needed and 2 different outdoor seating options outside for eating as a family as well. Communication with owner excellent.

Downtown Gettysburg

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.

College visit.

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.

Amazing Location

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.

Great place, awesome location!

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.

Great Location!

This was our second time here. It is downtown and easy walking distance to restaurants. It is a quaint home with two nicely sized bedrooms and a good kitchen. We've stayed here when we've gone skiing at Liberty resort. It is a short drive there. Would stay here again.

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.

Great Location Except for the Traffic

This home worked well for our short stay. The host communicated with us before our arrival and met us at the location to give us the keys. As far as proximity to everything Gettysburg, you couldn't pick a better location. The one downside was the traffic noise in the morning. Beginning between 5 and 6 AM, the tour buses start traveling the street in front of the house and they're fairly noisy. The kids didn't hear them, but my wife and I did. So if you're a light sleeper, it's something to consider.
