Wonderful!

We had a great stay in this beautiful Civil War house. A perfect location and short walk for just about everything, whether it's in town or on the battlefield. The house itself is comfortable, super clean, and full of history, and the stay really couldn't have been better. Highly recommended, thanks so much!

Perfect location and beautiful home

This house was absolutely beautiful. It is extremely clean and comfortable. It is perfectly located so that you can walk to just about every attraction. Also surprisingly quiet. We had upstairs neighbors and nightly concerts right up the street, but from inside we never heard a peep! It was absolutely wonderful!

Exactly what you want for an historic stay

Property is ideally located. Plenty of shops and restaurants a short walk away. The main Gettysburg historic park is a close bike ride away. The privacy fence for the back yard provides a great place to put bicycles without fear of them disappearing. The space itself is large for a 2 bedroom and also has a large dining room table which was perfect for our large board gaming.

Perfect stay!

We spent 4 nights at this property and it was perfect. The place is spacious and after a long day out and about it is great to have a place to stretch out and not be in a hotel room. Very easy to walk to many areas in Gettysburg and a short drive to other areas. We would stay here again for sure!
