Sweet Little Schoolhouse

This lovely cottage is about 6 miles from Gettysburg in a country setting. Very comfortably furnished, we were able to relax after full days of sightseeing. We certainly had everything we needed and would gladly visit again!

Another great stay

This is our go to place to stay when in Gettysburg. It’s well maintained and clean. This little place has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is close to all the attractions but far enough away for peaceful, quiet nights.

Perfect place to spend our anniversary!

This house was amazing! Everything was perfect, check in was a breeze, and the owners were very nice. We ended up getting in late and they left some lights on for us which was awesome. I would definitetly come here again and recommend others to stay here as well.

Getaway

We’ve stayed in the past and had a great time. A quaint clean and quiet place where you can kick your feet up and just relax, which is what we did and sorely needed to do. The owners are fantastic! Easy going and agreeable to deal with which is not often the case. This was again an enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Nice place

Hosts were quick to respond to any questions I had.House was nice but could use a good once over cleaning for cobwebs. Many in the corners and on objects in the house. I killed five spiders during our stay. The toilet handle in the half bath was broken which made it very difficult to flush as part of it was missing. Overall, a nice place that is close to everything but away from the busy downtown. The suggestions for places to eat and shop were also a nice addition! I would add the Lincoln Dinner as a very good place to eat also!Im confident the things I mentioned above will be taken care of by the hosts and overall we had a nice stay!

We had a great stay at the Schoolhouse. Ryan and his family were very accommodating in helping us do an early check in. The schoolhouse was perfect for my husband and I. Close location to hiking, monuments, downtown and tours.

Schoolhouse Stay

The schoolhouse was a great place to stay. The owners are easy to communicate with. The house was clean, bed comfortable, and the house was located in a great location. I will definitely look at this place again when we return to the area.
