Great location! My mom and I absolutely loved the General’s Hideaway for our trip to Gettysburg. We even loved the pool table and played a few games. We brought my Mom’s service dog with us and the hosts made sure to include a bed and supplies for him if needed, which was very sweet of them. We brought food to cook during our stay and finding everything in the kitchen was a breeze! We loved the layout. The beds were extremely comfortable as well. Danielle and Jeremy made the whole check in process seamless and really easy, which was very much appreciated. Mom and I agree, we will be back!

Charming place to stay near Gettysburg

Stayed here on a recent visit to Gettysburg, traveling with our 10 year old granddaughter and our dog. There were so many nice touches and amenities, and the beds were very comfortable. Communicating with the owner was easy, and the owner went out of their way to be helpful and accomodating. We were pleasantly surprised at how well-stocked the kitchen was, and impressed with the collection of games and pet items. Great stay!

Gettysburg

The place was well located to all places we wanted to visit. The only complaint is the traffic. Side of home was no more than 10 ft from major road with tractor trailer buzzing by all thru the the night. The listing mentioned road noise but never imagined being in the middle of it.

The rustic old farmhouse feel of the place was cozy and took you back in time. We were only minutes from Gettysburg so we were able to escape to the country for quiet evenings around the fire pit.

Great use of space and old wood in what appears to have once been a restaurant. Loved the open mess and the use of the old wood on walls and floor. Quiet and relaxing place to meet with family. Comfortable sleeping

Cute Gettysburg Country House!!

Very cute place, we had fun playing a game of pool too. The owners even provided a book which included things to do around the area, places to eat, wineries to visit and fun tours to go on. The owners are very detail oriented and we had everything provided for us that we needed during our stay. I would highly recommend staying here!!

review of General's Hideway

We enjoyed our stay at General's Hideway. Everything we needed was there and the property was perfect for our pet. We also appreciated the way you organized the restaurants in your information book making it very easy to find everything and there were plenty of hooks in the bathroom. I think the biggest draw for us was the closeness to the Gettysburg battlefield which was extremely convenient. Thank you for being so thoughtful for your guests.

Great place to stay while visiting Gettysburg

The General's Hideaway is near enough to be handy to Gettysburg yet far enough away to be private and served by Uber Eats. Our hostess was wonderfull. The cottage was extremely clean and well appointed with everything you need. Just bring your cloths and food. You dont need anything else. Even your pets are greeted with treets and toys.We will be back.
