Perfect stay!

We spent 4 nights at this property and it was perfect. The place is spacious and after a long day out and about it is great to have a place to stretch out and not be in a hotel room. Very easy to walk to many areas in Gettysburg and a short drive to other areas. We would stay here again for sure!

Historic place and great location

This place was in a great location. Could walk to most places in town that we wanted to. Very spacious for my family of 4. The pics don't do it justice as far as the space. Loves the hardwood floors and built in cabinets. It was very clean also.

Perfect location and beautiful home

This house was absolutely beautiful. It is extremely clean and comfortable. It is perfectly located so that you can walk to just about every attraction. Also surprisingly quiet. We had upstairs neighbors and nightly concerts right up the street, but from inside we never heard a peep! It was absolutely wonderful!
