Historic Civil War house, great for family getaways.

After a long hiatus between visits to Gettysburg a campground with family just wasn't going to cut it. Our expectations were high and upon our arrival were exceeded! Directions to the rental were great and instructions for securing the key and other check in formalities were easy and accurate. No Surprises. An initial walk thru of the rental found everything in order, clean and well maintained. Our party of four and an infant was perfect for this location and included a pac n play. We basically wanted for nothing during our short stay, usually cooking for breakfast and a couple of dinners but should you choose, a numbet of pubs and restaurants are nearby (walking distance).

A grocery store is several blocks away as is a beer outlet. The battlefield is a short drive away but this area was part of the first day of the battle so historically you are in the heart of action. Static exhibits highlight the history of many buildings and battle scars are still evident on some. If your into wine, there is a fine shop several buildings down the street for tasting and sale. If ice cream is more to your liking there are several a short walk away. We loved it and could see us returning again soon. Be aware however that Baltimaore Street is heavily travelled and road noise is significant but dies down after 10 pm. You are also abutting the sidewalk so there is considerable foot traffic as well and several ghost tours, usually small in numbers pass by the living room windows. We had no problems or issues but the owners are a short walk away. An eight minute walk places you downtown where shopping, more history and eaterys offer you a variety of choices to pass the time after a battlefield tour. All photos are representative of the property. For a small family with a need to spread out this location should do nicely.
