The cozy cottage-like facade conceals a roomy interior with plenty of room for your group to spread out. It is ideal for large families. The large yard is completely private, surrounded by woods. You will enjoy spotting wildlife from the deck by day, and relaxing by the fire ring at night. There is plenty to do inside, too. History lovers can retreat to the den, sinking into a comfy chair with a few volumes from the owners' library of military and history books. There is a comfortable TV room with Internet and Comcast TV. You can sign into your Netflix or Amazon TV account or watch a family-friendly DVD from our collection.

Jeff and Patty were excellent hosts. We had everything that we needed with extras just in case. Loved the back deck, it was where we spent most of our time at the house. The battlefields are really close an the museum was so impressive.
Feels secluded yet itโs a short drive to everything you need and want. Kudos to Jeff for making you feel like a treasured guest. The house is spacious , clean and well provisioned.You made us feel at home which is very rare in a rental.
This place is great. As a cook it was great to have what you need to make a decent meal. The Kitchen was well equipped with quality cookware and all the basic tools a good cook would desire. Sink, microwave electric range and oven were all updated , clean and easy to work with. The property is clean and well cared for. The total floor It's in a great setting off the road providing privacy. The owners were responsive at the check in , post check in and check out. Just down the road from shopping and , food and groceries and a ten minute drive to the battlefields. Great location. I've stayed in Gettysburg area many times and this was top notch.
We had a great time staying at Jeff and Patty's place! The house was excellently clean, the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked (even with kid-friendly dishes! and coffee) and the house easily accommodated our party -- the grownups played cards, the kids watched movies and we all just got to be together. We had a great time visiting the battlefield, and then coming back to the house for a fire and s'mores!
Great location. Very clean ,quiet , country setting but close to everything. The place was well setup. Litterally take your cloths and hygiene products and your good to go. Thank you Jeff and Patty
We had an amazing stay at this house! We came for a weekend trip for my sonโs 16th birthday with friends and family. The wooded property is beautiful and private but so close to town. It was super clean, well stocked kitchen, easy instructions for everything, and the host was great to check in with us while we were there. We would definitely recommend this house for larger groups especially if you want a quiet location.
Our family members from California, Texas and New York converged in Gettysburg to celebrate Thanksgiving. Lovely area with a rich history. We really enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and my brother from TX smoked a ton of meat. Easy access to everything from a quite and secluded place. Would love to return again some day.
Wonderful stay at the Red House for our multi generation family of seven. Plenty of space to spread out and enjoy. Greatly appreciated how well stocked the home was: plenty of extra towels, toilet paper, paper towels, spices, condiments, charcoal for the grill, and much more! Pleasant interactions with owners and beautiful back yard with spacious deck. Would highly recommend staying at this wonderful home!
Our second year renting the East Cavalry Red House. Love this place. The house is clean, has a great set up, terrific kitchen, fire pit, plenty of firewood, two outdoor grills, etc. The location can't be beat. Walmart, a supermarket, and plenty of other retail establishments are just around the corner, and downtown Gettysburg is 5 minutes away. Our hosts Jeff and Patty are the best hosts!!
We could not be happier! We are constantly using Vrbo and not all houses are up to par. The home was clean and well stocked. We had our daughter and 2 grandchildren with us and everyone had their own space and yet we were together. We are already planning on coming back to Gettysburg and this is where we will stay ๐
Our whole extended family, ages 9-70 found something to enjoy at the red house. Though there are only 3 bedrooms, the unique floor plan gave all 9 of us at least a semi-private nook for sleep and private time. Jeff and Patty checked in with us before and after arrival through the app. But we didnโt have any questions because the house had anything we could need, with handy, clear instructions for a/c, etc. By far our favorite characteristic was the location - the privacy, ample trees, the deck, and fire ring made us feel like we were in the middle of the woods, yet it only took a a few minutes to get to restaurants and downtown Gettysburg. We also enjoyed all of the Bigfoot sittings! (Our family counted 4!) We only wish we could have stayed longer.
We loved our stay here! The house was clean, the beds were comfortable! For those of us with artificial fragrance sensitivities, I was very excited to learn that they don't use any plug-ins or heavy fragrances anywhere in the house! "Free and clear" laundry soap meant that we didn't have to worry about bringing our own pillows etc!
While the multi-levels of the house would pose problems for some with mobility issues, this house was perfect for our family with a total of 8 kids, ranging in ages from 22 months to 16 years old. It gave a lot of space for everyone to spread out but still be in close proximity.
I didn't find any dry-measuring cups and the measuring spoon selection was limited, but if you're not doing any baking that shouldn't be an issue. I was able to use the liquid measures to get what I needed. Other than that the house is VERY well stocked and a lot of little details are seen to! A very well thought out rental!
The hosts were very kind and helpful in their correspondence to me!
The house is very privately located, but only minutes from Gettysburg attractions and shopping centers!
Just a fantastic house!
Best place I have stayed with the family in years. The secluded location, proximity to our destination, and thoroughness of the hosts made this stay exceptional.
The house was very clean. The kitchen is great and very well stalked with items needed to cook with and dishes. We loved the outdoor firepit for campfires and the charcoal grills were great. 3 bathrooms for a larger group was wonderful! The close location to Gettysburg and all it's parks/museums and downtown stores was perfect! I would highly recommend this house to rent!
Fantastic house and property. Unfortunately, it was too nice outside all weekend, so we didnโt really get to enjoy the inside of the house, but thatโs a good thing. We plan on renting the house again next year.
The property was exactly as listed with many amenities. My family really enjoyed the outside firepit and bbq area. Each room was uniquely decorated, well furnished and comfortable. Planning to come again.
We enjoyed the home and private area of it, the yard is wonderful, very close to stores in town still. The owners provided everything we couldโve needed, very comfortable stay.
We have loved staying here for years and when we walk in we always feel like we are coming home! Everything is always perfect and comfortable! Close to town and everything you need!
