We have been staying for a week at the beginning of the summer for the last three years and have always had a wonderful time! The house is set up nicely for a family with kids and the fenced in back years is great! Paul and Lisa are so kind and thoughtful!
Had an absolutely amazing time at the Stratton house! Wife and I have stayed at this location before and will absolutely be booking again in the future! Amazing location and so relaxing!
We had a great stay at this lovely historic home! The location was convenient to explore the battlefields and for a nice stroll to dinner in the evenings. Owners Paul and Lisa, were friendly and hospitable with fresh eggs and fine coffee!and
Overall it was good. The biggest issue was that the house was hot the entire time we were there. Even with both ac units running.it never got below 73Also additional seating in the living room would have been nice.
Perfect house for our 3 couples of friends in town to see some lacrosse. Great location to walk to so much. The house had everything that we needed, and nice little touches.
Wonderful location. Stayed here with family for a 5 night stay in October and the property was lovely. Ideal location to shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.
The house is beautiful, and perfect for what we needed it for. Plenty of parking for our bikes, and the host were very responsive if we needed anything. Would defiantly stay there again.
We’ve been to Gettysburg on this weekend the last 6 years. This was by far the best place we have stayed. We felt very welcome. Fresh farm eggs in the fridge were amazing. Air conditioning was amazing. Good hot water and good water pressure. Front porch relaxing was top notch. And I’ve never been more impressed with a coffee pot. Thank you so much.
We stayed at Stratton House for a three day weekend in the end of September. It was a perfect location to see the sights of Gettysburg. The house was in excellent condition and had everything we needed to make for a wonderful weekend.
The Stratton house is a very nice historical home. The house had everything we needed plus lots of extras . It was in a great location within easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. It helped to insure a great Gettysburg experience!
Our 5 night stay was perfect in every way for us - retired parents with 2 young adult daughters and husbands. The house was spacious enough and in a great, quiet location to walk throughout town, with easy parking. It was a bonus that we had such close access to Culp’s Hill! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.
We had a great time we were able to walk to most everything we wanted to do. The house was perfect ! Thanks! for sure the next time we will stay again if possible.
Lovely property. Quiet neighborhood. Good mattresses! Great water pressure. Good value.
