We have absolutely nothing negative to say about our stay. The accommodations were extremely comfortable, clean, and every amenity we could have possibly needed was provided. Hosts were super friendly and answered our texts promptly. The stairway was a unique experience that only made this restored general store a great vacation stay. We would definitely recommend!!

Beautiful home in the country

Really nice stay in an historic old home. Old world charm for sure. If you don’t mind being 30 minutes from restaurants and city services it’s amazing. Loved the peace and quiet.

Perfect Long Weekend!

We had such a great time and enjoyed staying at the property immensely. Hosts were super accommodating and the welcome basket with soft jazz music was such a great touch when we arrived after several long hours on the road. We couldn’t be happier with the peace and location of the home. Will definitely be back!

A Charming House!

We had such a lovely stay in Paul and Diane's General Store-turned-home! They were wonderful hosts, and made us feel so welcome. The home was super charming, with wonderful details throughout. It wasn't far from Gettysburg, so we drove there every day and had an altogether fantastic trip.

Great property

We loved our stay at the Country House. The owners were easy to communicate with and the property was spotless and better stocked than any other VRBO we have stayed at. It is a very unique home and was even better than the pics. Beds were very comfortable, air conditioner worked great (it was very hot in Gettysburg during our stay). We would definitely stay here again if we returned to the area.

We spent the majority of our time exploring Gettysburg, and this house was very convenient and absolutely beautiful. The host had so many amenities for us, the bed was extremely comfortable. We even heard/saw Amish buggies pass by. We will definitely ask to stay again if we come back to this area.

Wedding weekend fun

We chose this home for a wedding weekend. It is in the perfect location. We were five minutes away from the wedding venue and only 25 minutes away from Frederick, Maryland. We were able to obtain an Uber, which made the evening enjoyable for all. The home was stocked with everything that you would need and more.

Country getaway

Thoughtful renovation of classic structure that retained the character and added all of the conveniences of modern living. Little touches such as cookies, snacks and a bottle of wine welcomed us. Kitchen well equipped and stocked for cooking. Comfortable beds, huge supply of linens and televisions that were regular cable rather than streaming services were greatly appreciated.
