Loved the unit ! Walkable to downtown, clean and very nicely furnished! I go to Gettysburg several times a year...i will book every trip if its avaliable.
This is a lovely, very clean house with some nice extra touches. Definitely recommend for a stay in a really good location in Gettysburg.For some reason, VRBO is trying to make me rate my experience on a winery in this review, but this house has nothing to do with a winery and we did not visit one.
Wonderful location for touring. We saw Gettysburg, Antietam, and Hershey. Super clean and quiet! Great coffee! Easy walk to historic downtown area for supper and shopping. Grocery stores nearby as well.
The apartment is in walking distance to restaurants and shops in the historic district. The check-in and check-out were simple. Everyone we met in Gettysburg was extremely friendly.
I am thrilled with my stay at Stratton House. Clean, as pictured, spacious, comfortable bed, and the best part - super walkable to downtown! We had a great weekend escape and would definitely stay again if back in Gettysburg.
This is a perfect spot. If you want to enjoy the vibe of historic Gettysburg. we walked everywhere even though it was hot and humid. We loved the ability to come back to an air conditioned, perfectly sized, super comfortable unit. Our hosts we're just great and offered us so much flexibility regarding our stay. We are coming back to Gettysburg and we intend to stay here again if we can.
Perfect for our couples getaway. Loved the historical touches inside the apartment. Great reserved parking spot and walking distance to town. The porch was a great place for morning coffee or evening wine....or the other way around. We don't judge :) We look forward to booking again
Owner was quick to respond when I tripped a circuit. Very nice people with 2 adorable dogs. Great location. Walking distance to downtown. Cute and comfortable and very clean quarters. Thank you Paul and Lisa.
We were quite comfortable in the apartment, and the location was perfect— walkable to all of downtown, and 15 minutes from the Hauser Hill event center.
And Paul & Lisa’s specially roasted coffee was a great way to start the day!
Everything was exactly as listed, and we were very happy with our stay. Even had the bonus of petting George and Fred, the two horses pulling the holiday carriage!
