A much anticipated trip.

My husband and I were finally able to take our youngest kids (18 & 21 years old) to see the D.C. area along with Gettysburg. The place is literally on the corner of 2 major roads in town. I was a bit surprised how near the traffic was. It could be noisy at times but did not bother us too much. It may bother others who are light sleepers. We enjoyed the time at Gettysburg and this place worked out for us. It was a little tight feeling in the sleeping space with 4 adults but we had fun. We really enjoyed the full kitchen and how close everything was to the place. We loved just exploring the shops in town after finishing out battlefield tour.

Girls’ Weekend

Super cute place. Felt very safe. Within walking distance to most things. Did not get check in information until 1-2 hours after check in. But I feel like that was an anomaly. The owners were otherwise very responsive and friendly. I would absolutely stay here again. And I would highly recommend this VRBO.

The location is perfect if you want to be near the happenings of town but not in the middle of the busininess. Cozy set up is perfect for 3-4 people. Everything was clean and orderly ready to set up and relax.

1st floor Very close to the center of town

We stayed for Parents weekend. Everything was clean and as documented/described. We had no issues with our stay. Walkable to all the stores and restaurants in the center of town. Walkable to the Battlefield and Museum if you are conditioned to walks;, it’s a short drive.
