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.

We had a blast in Gettysburg. We enjoyed all the museums, battlefield, and exploring downtown Gettysburg. The coffee pot didn’t work and their was bee hive in the umbrella on back deck but the rest of the house was fantastic. We left a note sharing that with the owners so hopefully they can get that fixed! We were not disappointed with our stay! It was a lovely town to stay in!

This elegant old home is a treasure to enjoy. It is clean, the bedding is comfortable, and the location is handy to shops. You have to try the ice cream parlors.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Farnsworth House ghost tour. Ask for Ed. He's quite the character.

If you are a light sleeper, I suggest you draw straws for the back bedroom, as the trucks hitting the rough section of street in front of the house can be window rattling.

We had a great time.

The house was clean and comfortable. We loved being able to walk to downtown square, museums, and restaurants. Gettysburg is so full of history and being on the Battlefield is a spiritual experience.

We had a great two day stay. The place is huge, plenty of space for us and our two children to spread out and have our own space. The location is great for walking to everything downtown, we only needed our car for when we went to tour the battlegrounds. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit Gettysburg.
