Exceptional
Reviews are presented in chronological order, subject to a moderation process, and verified unless otherwise labelled.
This reservation required an unusually high amount of communication from the beginning. Multiple questions were raised about clearly disclosed policies, fees, and basic listing details before and during the stay, even after those items were explained.
When concerns were raised during the stay, they were addressed immediately in person and resolved at the time. The guests completed their stay without reporting any further issues.
Unfortunately, the guest wanted the hot tub refunded because it was her birthday and we declined. Given that after checkout a retaliatory review and dispute was initiated regarding charges (hot tub fee) that had been agreed to prior to arrival. Based on this experience, I would not host this reservation again. I would also warn future hosts.
Wonderful! We loved every second. The hot tub was a wonderful addition we choose to add on. We loved the close location to all of the Gettysburg attractions!
The accommodations were great. It was clean, cozy, peaceful, and relaxing. The amenities were good, and downtown was a 10 min. drive away. It was a great getaway from city life. We would go back.

Thank you! We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay
This cottage is a dream come true vacation spot. Whatever you could want, Elizabeth has already thought of it as your host! Not only was the cottage absolutely stunning, it is stocked perfectly with snacks, board games, and very detailed instructions. She even included a page in the instruction binder about invasive lady beetles and stink bugs! Anytime I thought I needed something that I hadn't packed, it was probably stocked under the sink. She even included a little dog bed for the dog guests.The cottage was extremely comfy and homey and exactly what we were looking for on our trip to gettysburg. The outdoor area is beautiful as well. There is a paddock with some horses, cows, and goats, who are clearly very well loved and cared for. Sometimes they also have treats you can buy for them!Access to gettysburg was incredibly easy from the location as well.We will absolutely be returning yearly to this cottage.
My wife amd i really enjoyed our stay here. It is a really beautiful property. The only negative thing that we experienced was the wifi was rather spotty. But overall it was a wonderful experience.
My fiancée and I needed a weekend away from the normal hustle and grind and we were very happy with apple blossom cottage! The communication with Elizabeth was fantastic if we needed anything she was right there. We really enjoyed the hot tub and just to be able to relax and rewind. Will absolutely do it again!
This was the absolute perfect little retreat after exploring in and around Gettysburg. I cannot recommend enough. Gorgeous, cozy little cottage in a serene setting. Just perfect!
We loved our two-night getaway at Apple Blossom Cottage, a perfect place to celebrate our 40th anniversary! It's peaceful, private, woodsy, charming, comfy and clean...a sweet little house in a clearing by a pond. We enjoyed morning coffee outside in the Adirondack chairs and by the firepit at night after grilling steaks. We wish we could've stayed another day. Elizabeth is a responsive host and attentive to the many little details that made our stay so delightful. We highly recommend the Apple Blossom Cottage!
