Wonderful!

Great for a family trip
Plenty of room for our family trip to see the national park. The beds are comfy and the house is very clean.
The house sits on a busy street so evening noise should be expected. It is so close to everything that you won't mind the passing traffic.
Beautiful Home, Great Stay!
Loved this home - the pictures do not do it justice. The apartment is very roomy and in a great area - within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. The place was very clean and had everything needed to make our stay comfortable. I would definitely recommend this rental.
Best place to stay in Gettysburg!
This was my second stay in your house (my sixth to Gettysburg). This time I was so happy to show off the village, the battlefield, and your house to my daughter and her husband — both first-timers. We started early Saturday morning at the Visitors Center followed by our guided car tour of the battlefield by the incomparable Christine Wolfe — the fourth time I’ve taken her tour! (Ask for her, you will not regret it.). My “kids” fell in love with the experience, so we not only spent the rest of the day on the battlefield but went back after dark for a truly spiritual experience. We were all so glad to get back to the house and collapse in the parlor for wine and talk.
Your house is nearly perfect — a comfortable combination of historic structure and modern updates. The beds and the linens are high quality. The kitchen had everything we needed. The back parking is easy.
More than anything, what fun it is to open the double front doors and step out into history. Thank you for sharing your house! We’ll be back!
We will consider staying again
The place was clean and very well maintained. The place was larger than I originally thought. The only issue that we had, which wasn't too bad, was that there was only one bathroom. There were 5 women in this house with one bathroom. We made it work because were are sisters and sisters aren't shy around each other. The days were unseasonably warm (hot/muggy) and there was no central air and two air conditioners in the back rooms, which you could not use at the same time. So, temperature was also an issue, but we managed. We hated to leave. I slept in the back so only the bigger trucks I would hear, but if you are not used to traffic 24/7 then I would suggest bringing a fan or a sound machine to block it out. You can't move the house. We really enjoyed the house though. It was in a great spot to walk anywhere.
Great Spot for Wedding Gathering
This was the perfect house in a perfect location suitable for visiting Gettysburg and exploring downtown. We used the home as a gathering spot for a bridal party to get prepared for a wedding. It is a beautiful historic home, clean, and had all the necessities. Quiet, comfortable, easy access and parking. We had 7 bridesmaids, 2 moms, a bride and 2 girls for the hair and makeup and still had plenty of room to move about and mingle. The photographer even loved the place to use for the photos backdrop. We had a wonderful time and the home added to our great memories. We plan on coming back again to visit Gettysburg. All we needed was more time. We would definitely rent again.
In the heart of Gettysburg.....
The house is historic but modern for a family's needs in 2017. Everything is within walking distance of the Stahle House but the convenience of assigned parking let's you decide whether you want to drive or walk. Highly recommend! This was our second stay and we'll be back again.
