Fall Get-Away

The location put us close to everywhere that we wanted to visit. The memorial area was great - 2 ladies from our group (sisters) found their great-great-grandfather's name on the 151st infantry plaque. Beautiful area and good weather .

Family Getaway

We are so glad we found Tessa's place for our weekend family getaway. The beautiful home was perfect for our group of seven adults. It was comfortable, spacious, very clean & full of historic charm. The central location was so convenient - Lincoln Square and the National Cemetery were just a short walk away. Tessa was very responsive and provided everything we needed for easy check in/out. We will definitely stay again when visiting the area!

Wonderful House and Location

The house was excellent - just as described. It was spacious, comfortable and gave us the historic feel we were looking for in the heart of Gettysburg. Location was ideal allowing easy walks to the Gettysburg circle, the battlefield and many options for dining / shopping. We enjoyed it immensely and would not hesitate to go back to the Barclay House in the future.

Christmas Festival Weekend

I booked this home for our group of 7 for the weekend of the Gettysburg Christmas Festival. Not only is this home beautiful but it is exceptionally clean and feels very homey. The Christmas tree and decorations were a fantastic touch. The home has ample parking available and it a short walk to the square, museums, shopping, and of course Mr G.'s. This was our third stay and we will be back again!
