Amazing Historical Getaway in the Mountains
We came to visit Gettysburg and Amish Country and were excited to learn that while we had spent much time learning about the Civil War, Lee had actually come to visit the very house we stayed at and is detailed in a book located at the property called “A River to Cross”. Before we left we took a picture with our pup on “Lee’s rock” where he rested while the horses drank from a spring nearby and his troops had tea and recharged at the property. The property is very clean, located in a great in between to many destinations, and is a beautiful getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. I’d recommend to anyone looking for a historic getaway to the mountains. Thanks again for a fantastic stay, Michelle!

Quick Escape!
Close to home but far enough to leave worries behind. We checked out local breweries and all were delicious with great atmosphere. Dinner in Emmitsburg was divine and they even gave me a single red rose for Valentine's. We loved the history and charm, the property for walking, and we played some of the very old board games in the home. The owner was very responsive and helpful with navigating the snowy driveway and cleared a path to the door! We reccommend highly and will definitely return!

Quiet & Relaxing
Very nice old farmhouse in a quiet and relaxing setting. Large grassy and wooded section to the front of the house that featured deer & turkeys. The house was cozy & comfortable & had everything we needed to relax after a day of sightseeing in Gettysburg.

Really unique place
The house is as described by owner. It was really in a beautiful location and we just loved reading about some of the history of the house and property. The house is well stocked with the essentials and it was so quiet and private. I will stay there again sometime if the owner will have us again. Communication with the owner prior to our visit went well. There are a lot of things to do nearby to make an experience. One of our favorite places we have stayed.
