Great weekend stay in Gettysburg

The property was wonderful! Clean and everything we needed was provided. The location was perfect and we were able to walk everywhere. Our host met us when we arrived and shared the history of the house and answered all our questions. We will stay here again when we come back.

Very convenient to everything we wanted to do and see. The place was clean and comfortable and had all the needed amenities. The only disappointment was that we did not have any ghost visitors! 😁

Exactly as advertised

I booked for a sports tournament and the stay was a great location in downtown Gettysburg. We frequently walked to restaurants and stores downtown (a few blocks). Rod was very welcoming and communicative before and during the check in process. He gave a tour and small history lesson on the property and was available if we had questions. Space has multiple air condition units to keep it cool in the summer. Perfect for 2 or Family of 4.

Historic feel and close to the south battlefield.

My family and I enjoyed our stay and the property owner was very nice and communicative. The location was excellent with easy walk to stores, restaurants, and the battlefield. My only negatives were the door locks are tricky, they are old and you have to wiggle them just right to work. The property was clean but not 5 star clean, there was some dirt behind the table in kitchen. The AC was also out but thankfully the property owner had window units and ceiling fans so it wasn’t a problem. We enjoyed the stay and we would stay there again.
