Long weekend

Came to town for a long weekend. Went to Gettysburg, Harper’s Ferry, Amish Country, and drove Skyline drive. Came home each evening to the wonderful little place that had all the comforts of home. Walked to the coffee shop in the morning which is two buildings away. Everything was perfect and I highly recommend this to any couple looking for a nice place to stay. Only 10 minutes to Gettysburg.

Nice little cottage that was very comfortable. A few small initial glitches addressed immediately

Vrbo makes it very difficult to contact owner directly and quickly.. Owners very nice and quick to respond. TV not hooked to cable and difficult to maneuver. Great kitchen, comfirtable bed. Reasonably priced.
