About this property

Countryside Manor |Porch, Firepit & Playset

Welcome to The Manor at Open Range Stables — your countryside retreat.
Porch coffee, twinkle-light dinners, and starlit firepit nights!

Here, tranquility meets charm in every corner of this spacious, manor-style farmhouse. Perfect for family gatherings or getaways with friends, the property includes a 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home plus a brand-new addition now open — The Snug, a cozy king studio tucked into the main barn (take note this is directly across the driveway and is not attached to the house).

Step inside the Manor and feel instantly at home. The main floor is airy and bright, with calming colors and thoughtful touches throughout. The fully stocked kitchen is ready for your favorite recipes — enjoy meals together around the vaulted dining table or under the glow of twinkle lights on the patio. After dinner, sink into the living room’s plush seating for a movie night or quiet conversation.

The front porch is a guest favorite — a perfect spot to sip coffee in the morning or relax in a rocking chair as the sun sets and the breeze rolls through.

Across the drive, The Snug offers a little extra privacy and a touch of luxury, featuring a king canopy bed, living area, kitchenette, and full bath — an ideal space for grandparents, couples, or anyone who likes their own quiet corner. Kitchenette includes an air fryer, coffee maker, microwave, single use blender, utensils.

Upstairs in the Manor, three welcoming bedrooms await:
>> Two with king-size beds
>> One with a twin-over-double bunk (perfect for kids!)

The home’s crown jewel is the ensuite retreat, spread over the second and third floors, with a king bed, private bath, desk nook, and daybed with trundle. (Note: stairs to the second floor are steep.)

Outside, you’ll find 20 acres to explore — complete with horse barns, a peaceful creek (where deer often wander at dusk), a firepit for s’mores nights, and a playset just steps from the patio. The 2-car garage is available for guests and includes firepit supplies and a ping pong table for rainy-day fun.

We’ve made comfort a priority with HVAC throughout, so you’ll stay cozy in every season.

And yes — we’re dog-friendly (under 35 lbs)! Please bring your own dog bedding and crate, and note there’s a $50 fee if extra cleanup is needed after your stay.

Whether you’re here to gather, recharge, or explore, The Manor at Open Range Stables is a place to slow down, breathe deep, and make memories.

Beautiful & Quiet

Beautiful home on a beautiful property! We loved how quiet and remote it was yet only a short drive to Gettysburg. Great place to stay with friends and kid-friendly.

Fantastic Property

This was the best VRBO property at which we have ever stayed. It was clean, spacious, and well-supplied. We had a small dinner party to celebrate my parents’ 65th anniversary and the very large dining room was a special feature for us. Like the judges say on cooking competition shows when they cannot think of even a tiny criticism, “no notes”.

Beautiful country farmhouse on 20 acres

The property and home are stunning and amazing and beyond compare! Everything was recently updated with top quality materials and is being impeccably maintained. From the kitchen with the beautiful quartz countertops and high-end appliances, including a range with an air fryer, washer, and dryer and comfortable furniture and beds! Including linens, bedding and even bath robes and makeup washcloths! Some really nice and incredible amenities provided! Also being able to use the two car garage was a wonderful bonus. Especially since we were staying during a somewhat significant snowstorm. It was great to be able to keep our cars in the garage and avoid all that cleanup. The driveway was cleared that evening and we delayed in doing any of our planned activities. We had planned on doing. I would highly recommend staying here! It’s a great location to visit Gettysburg. It was a short drive and wonderful opportunity to stay in a beautifully renovated home built over 200 years ago on sprawling 20 acres.
