About this property

Unique Civil War Hm c.1853 - walkable to downtown

A witness homestead of the Battle of Gettysburg circa 1858, discover the charm of Gettysburg from our cozy retreat, perfectly located downtown, steps from the square and minutes from the iconic Gettysburg battlefields. Ideal for history enthusiasts and casual explorers alike, this home offers a unique blend of comfort, convenience and period furnishings. Live the Gettysburg experience and its pivotal significance of The Civil War. Skiing enthusiasts may enjoy the offerings of Ski Liberty with scheduled busing from Gettysburg's downtown. My historic home is in the heart of Gettysburg and offers easy access to a charming small-town center filled with walkable museums, shops, and historic attractions. While you'll enjoy the convenience of being steps away from these amenities, please note that the vibrant main street can bring some traffic noise. Perfect for groups or families, the home offers 4 large bedrooms (with queen beds) and 3 full bathrooms, including a master suite with a private deck and backyard views. Enjoy the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen, a large living/dining space, and a second-floor deck with a grill and outdoor dining area for evenings under the stars.

Family time together

This property is so lovely and so is the owner of the home. Everything is taken care of with lots of thoughtfulness to the details of everything that we would need. The location of the home is within walking distance of museums, stores as well as restaurants. My family stayed there for three days and we had plenty of room and found the home very welcoming and comfortable. Thank you so much for an amazing experience. We look forward to meeting there again!

Lovely stay for a weekend of hiking and history.

This is a lovely updated home in historic Gettysburg. The rooms are spacious and it was very clean. It had all the basics in the kitchen and is close to downtown. We would rent it again.

Lovely Stay Right Near Downtown Gettysburg

My family and I enjoyed our Thanksgiving stay! With 4 rooms, 3 bathrooms, and 2 floors, there was plenty of room for us all to hang out and have our own space. We were able to have multiple cooks using the kitchen to make Thanksgiving dinner for a family of 8 adults. And we enjoyed the dining/living room area for family game night. The bedrooms were comfortable and we enjoyed the historic feel mixed with comfort of the house. And we had no issues fitting our three vehicles in the parking behind the house. Check in and check out were easy and Christina provided great info and quick answers. The home's location is very walkable to both downtown and to some parts of the battlefield area, so it is perfectly situated!

Revisiting Gettysburg

The property, with bedrooms and baths for three couples, suited us very well. The living space allowed us to gather together. The kitchen and appliances functioned very well. The location is perfect for walking the town. Offstreet parking allowed us to park the cars and leave them. We walked to restaurants and shops. Although we didn’t need her once we arrived, our host was responsive to our questions and available during our stay.

Fantastic property

The property was fantastic for our needs. We had our family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids, and my parents staying together. The separate bedroom on the first floor and 3 others on the second floor were both spacious and beautiful.The location was very well the best part, close enough to the square to stroll around enjoy all Gettysburg has to offer but far enough to avoid the crouching when we wanted. Christina was a fantastic host and answered all my questions fully and in a timely manner. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Beautiful home and great location

I brought my parents to Gettysburg for a couple of days. We really enjoyed this property. Clean and quiet and beautifully decorated. Also a perfect location just a few dozen feet from the city Square. So much to do in Gettysburg. Hope to return soon!

Gettysburg Golf / History Trip

I booked this VRBO to serve as the home base for a golf trip with some old friends, as well as to enjoy some of the amazing history of Gettysburg PA. Christina, the host, was extremely friendly, helpful and responsive with my questions upon booking, leading up to and during our stay. The property was clean, comfortable and had all necessary amenities. Its location was perfect, just steps away from several dining options and just a short drive to both our golf destinations and the historic sites we visited. Pricing was reasonable. We were all very pleased with our stay and I would highly recommend!!!
