Cute and cozy. Screened front porch was the favorite spot of the whole house. Spent majority of my time out there with our 3 dachshunds while hubby did the battlefields thing. Next time around will definitely bring camping table and chairs for outdoor meals and star gazing. House is facing a main road however road noise wasn't bad; was able to keep windows open to enjoy the mountain air. Diner in town serves awesome breakfast! All in all had a nice stay. Hope to reserve again!

Perfect location! Far enough away from the busy hustle and bustle, but close enough (10 min) to take multiple trips into Gettysburg throughout each day. Love being able to drive past so much history on our way in! Owners were wonderful about allowing us to have our pets! Only surprise was no access to washer and dryer and no grill. I should have paid attention to the listing better! Didn't put a dent in our trip though! Home was extremely clean and very welcoming! We loved sitting on the porch in the cool mornings, and it was perfectly air-conditioned to escape the heat of the day. Absolutely perfect for our needs!

Me and my friends stayed for the weekend to celebrate our friend getting married. This was an adorable place. There is a lot to do around the area, one of our event got rained out and we needed to find something else to do and it was not a problem at all.

Very Nice House

The property is well kept, clean and nicely decorated. It has all modern amenities but still maintains vibes of a cozy grandmother’s house. It is convenient to Gettysburg. The driveway is off of old route 30 and was a challenge to back out into. The hosts were very communicative and made check-in and check-out seamless.

Great Stay & Excellent Value

We had a wonderful stay. The home was very clean and the furnishings were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Even thought it was on Old Rt 30, it was still very quiet and our dogs were able to feel safe and secure. Close to everything we wanted to see, downtown gettysburg, the battlefield, & adams county winery.

Bike week

We chose this location because is was close enough too town yet far enough away that we would be able to rest at night without the noise of bikes constantly! Very clean, a little on the smaller side, but it worked for ny family. My only real complaint is that there was not central air and we had to keep the bedroom window air conditioners on one specific setting. As that may be cool for some people, it wasn’t for us, especially being in the mid 90’s temp wise. I would stay here again! Don was very kind and helpful any time I msgd him prior to our trip!

Good location for Gettysburg

Overall the property and host were great. Could have been cleaned a bit more but nothing was repulsive. Washer and dryer are in a basement accessed thru the outside. Thankful for a husband who doesn't mind doing laundry! The couch pull out is not comfy. The beds (sleep 4) were not terrible.
