Great stay!

We had a nice time over Christmas! The house is wonderful, could use some updates. Could have been a tiny bit cleaner, but not bad. Just noticed lots of dust under the beds when I dropped something and had to go searching for it lol! Thank you for a great stay!

Old school charm

This property was perfect. With lots of space for my family. Property has a charm about it nestled in the country side. We loved watching the ski resort make snow and the sun rise over the mountains. It’s so quiet and peaceful would highly recommend! The property manager was great with communication and very accommodating.

We had a great time but the property requires some work

All in all we had a great time, but the house needs some work. In particular it was impossible to heat the house evenly. Either one of the rooms will get super hot or some of the rooms will be freezing. Additionally, more seating by the TV would be nice, and some better lighting in the main areas. The first shower is just old and the second shower is ultra small. Oh, and they don't supply hygiene products so bring your own soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Kevin, the property manager, was very responsive and easy to work with and the yard is just amazing.

Stink bugs

The house itself and location was great but once inside we saw, the house was full of stink bugs, crawling up and down the walls the curtains the beds. We did not stay one night and sent pictures to Vrbo and the host but only received a partial refund.

Great place for friends and family

Very clean home located in beautiful Adams County countryside. Perfect for three couples coming for Friendsgiving and Gettysburg events. A little trouble with the heat furnace but we figured it out. The property manager was responsive to our outreach. We would recommend the property and stay again. Thank you Tom and Kevin.

Happy campers!

House was just lovely & very clean (which is huge in my book) Location was only a few minutes from Gettysburg, very peaceful & relaxing. Huge fenced in yard for our friends dog to roam in. Bathrooms could use more hooks for wet towels, but everything else was very pleasant.

Great place in the country!

Several family members stayed and we had a great time. There was plenty of room for us to spread out. Beds were comfortable and it was very quiet at night. We spent time in Gettysburg and attended a wedding in Taneytown, MD. Location was excellent! Would definitely stay again.

Comfortable and Clean, Nice Location

The house and property are clean and well kept. Great layout with the rooms. Light traffic flow. Enjoyed seeing the deer in the yard or across the street in the morning. (Got to see two fawns feeding from their mama right around the corner from the house.) Super easy drive in and out of Gettysburg. The only suggestion I would make is to bring a flashlight if you think you’ll be out after dark. While there is some outdoor lighting, we preferred more around where our vehicle was parked. Personal preference not a dealbreaker. The property host was very responsive and super easy to communicate with.

Gettysburg trip

We have stayed at many VRBO houses, and this by far was the cleanest home we have stayed in. No dust on the floors, or in the corners, the bathrooms spotless as well. The pictures on line are exactly what the house looks like. All the bedrooms are nice size. Kitchen and dining rooms are great. We had a small power outage, contacted the home owner and someone was there to fix the issue within 2 minutes. Could not have asked for better communication with the owner. My family discussed how nice it would be just to go to this house for a week of doing nothing but relaxing. Thank you for allowing us to experience this wonderful property. The Shaffer Family

Great Ski Weekend

We had a lovely stay at the Yellow Ski Lodge - easy 5 minute drive over to Liberty and a very comfortable property. My one complaint with Liberty is that their accommodations are limited. This property offered close access with some space and farm fresh eggs! Great stay, thank you!

loved the chickens

stayed at this home due to our son and his wife expecting a baby and they live in this area. Home was nice and big. Lots of room for 3 grandchildren under the age of 7. the kids loved the chickens wondering around. Weather could have been better since it rained and was foggy 2 of the days we stayed there. No can opener that we could find. Would have been nice to have more kitchen towels. We ran out of paper towels and toilet paper but lasted until we left. One bedroom has bathroom, but the sink is in the bedroom which was kind of awkward but functioned just fine. Was not a deal breaker. Beds were comfy and all made up with sheets and quilt comforters. Overall a lovely experience was had by all.

Great location with wonderful space!

Adorable home with tons of living space! Beautiful sunroom, big living room with loads of space and an oversized dining room with a peaceful view of the pond. The location was perfect for spending the holiday in Taneytown with family! It was also a convenient location to get to Fairfield and Gettysburg for shops and restaurants. We won’t hesitate to come back again!
