The house is perfect for a trip to Gettysburg. Clean, well laid out, everything needed for an enjoyable stay. Easy check in/out and very helpful hosts. We will definitely be staying here again.
Rented this house for a family ski trip for family - 2 adults and three teenagers for three nights. House was as advertised and had everything we needed - and nice little touches. 15 minute drive from Liberty Ski Resort. Property owner communicated in a timely and thorough manner and was accommodating to questions. Would rent again
We loved our stay! Cozy farmhouse feel! Perfect for our 4 person trip! 15 minutes from the battlefields.

Weekend Getaway (ski/snowboarding)
Overall we had a nice stay in this cozy home. Super cute house, upstairs set up w/2 bedrooms, loft and a very large bathroom. This worked out well with my 3 young adult kids and their friends. Pool table in basement was a pleasant surprise. It is about a 15 minute drive to any store/restaurant. check-in was at 4:00 we arrived around 4:20 and cleaning lady was still there. The 1st floor bedroom (queen) mattress is not very comfortable, my kids said the other beds were great. Walls are very thin, we could hear everything, but it is an older home and to be expected.
The house was comfortable with spacious rooms. Loved the large kitchen great for cooking a meal or just hanging out with a bottle of wine and apps after a day of exploring in the orchards and small towns. The host provided good info and
responded right away to our inquiries.
We brought our grandson with us to visit the Gettysburg sites. That experience was wonderful, but so was having a fishing hole across the street. The house was comfortable and quiet. The countryside was gorgeous on our rides to and from town.
Our hosts were very accommodating and friendly.
Lovely stay and a very nice location. Close to Gettysburg and surrounding sites. Very clean, great beds and quanit home. Wonderful to see families fishing on small lake across the street. My family and I had a wonderful time.
We loved the feel of the home. It was in the most quiet setting. The kitchen was modern and well equipped. The only thing that kept us from a perfect rating was the downstairs bathroom. We are seniors and it was difficult for us to maneuver the tub and the toilet. All else was perfect.
This house was perfect for my 4 sisters and me. Close to tourist attractions and yet private. The creek running close by was relaxing. Would stay again if I had the opportunity .
Smooth process. Good communication with the host. Unique property with a lot of character. Convenient location for the area golf courses and an easy drive to Gettysburg.
This house is brimming with charm, is bigger than it looks in photos. We enjoyed a beautiful week in Gettysburg, and it was hot! How nice to return to a cool and comfortable house in the evenings!
The kitchen is spacious and beautiful. Our family enjoyed cooking breakfasts and dinners together. The biggest frying pan is cast iron, and if you aren’t used to that or know how to properly season it, maybe bring your own. I also didn’t see a crockpot, but we had brought one. As noted in other reviews (and as the owner admits) there are ants. If you keep the area clean and crumb free (including the placemats), it’s not a problem.
The pool table was a hit with my teen-age son and young adult children—they played pool every evening. We never made use of the nice back yard area with the fire pit, and my husband did a little fishing across the road, but mostly we enjoyed the comforts inside. (Do bring your camp chairs if you want to make use of the fire pit.) The beds and living room furniture were comfy. My kids all remarked on that. The downstairs bathroom is a bit of a tight fit, but very clean. The upstairs bathroom is spacious and awesome!
We are used to country living and preferred this location outside the Gettysburg bustle. We watched deer come out in the evening and enjoyed the orchards and countryside; the drive into Gettysburg never seemed long. This was our most favorite rental home to date.
Had a wonderful time near downtown Gettysburg. We were able to drive for about 10 min to downtown and explore the cute town. The house suited us- enough room for 6 of us the have breakfast or play games etc. no issues with anything - easy check in…and out.
This is a great place to stay if you find yourself out this way. We had an event and we were only 10-15 minutes from the downtown area. Great location and house, with awesome property managers that left a nice welcoming note! Definitely would stay again.
We enjoyed our stay at the property for a long weekend guys golf trip. Great golf courses in the area. Property was well kept, enjoyed the pool table in the basement and fire ring in back yard. Well stocked and clean.
This cottage is nestled among the peach and apple orchards outside of Gettysburg. We enjoyed a couple of evenings in Gettysburg & a wonderful afternoon at a nearby winery. However, the best times were walking the village of Orrtanna and sitting on the porch playing cards and laughing. This house is clean, well-stocked, and full of charm!!!
