Another great stay at the Cricket House

This was my family's fourth stay at the Cricket House. We were two adults & a teen. The beds are comfortable & the house is clean. All you need to cook simple meals is in the kitchen. Easily walkable to downtown, to the Culp's Hill area of the battlefield, & to Gettysburg College. Other parts of town & battlefield are a short drive. Nice backyard area. Simple check-in. We look forward to returning.

Cousin vacation!

Had a great time staying in the lovely home. Only issue was the upstairs bathroom. The hot tub was way too deep and the shower head way too high. I’m so sorry! Thought I’d already sent this in. Guess I didn’t hit the submit button 🙀

Perfectly Located, Quirky Vrbo

This is probably the quirkiest Vrbo I have yet to stay in. The Cricket House is a cute little renovated carriage house? garage? Not sure, but it's very conveniently located. I was a little taken aback by the 1st floor shower w/a door to the backyard & the 2nd floor shower w/the shower head in the middle of the ceiling. The oddly-shaped, super narrow 1st floor bathroom is by design. The room could be bigger, but they are using the space on the backside as a utility closet. Also, there are no doors on the bedrooms, just curtains. It was just my husband & me, so privacy wasn't an issue, but if you're staying w/others, maybe something to think about. All-in-all, we enjoyed staying at the Cricket House. The space heater on the 1st floor was a lifesaver during our stay as some of the nights we came back chilly from lots of walking.

A must stay location to enjoy downtown

Conveniently located property that’s within easy walking distance to downtown restaurants and shops. Very quaint older cottage but clean. Small kitchen but we only cooked breakfast there and enjoyed the local restaurants.

Great Place to Stay

The Cricket House was a great place to stay for our first trip to Gettysburg. The battlefields were close by and many restaurants were within walking distance. We had one small mechanical issue during our stay and it was taken care of quickly. The beds very comfortable and everything was very clean. The host, Brian gave excellent recommendations for restaurants as well.

Annual Gettysburg Trip

Spent the weekend in Gettysburg exploring the city and rich history. The cricket house was perfect for the four of us (two adult couples). The whole place was super cute and well located for us. Short walk to the square, shops, and restaurants. The backyard was well landscaped and just adorable- probably my favorite feature of the home. The only *minor* note about the house was the water temperature; it was incredibly hot!

Family Vacation

This was our 3rd stay at the Cricket House. We enjoy its proximity to the town square, the battlefield, and to the larger stores outside the older part of Gettysburg. This time we brought our 14 yr-old grandson for his first visit to Gettysburg. The house provided a clean, comfortable space for all three of us. Nice beds. The shower downstairs is large & the upstairs jacuzzi a treat. We made use of the smart TV in the evenings. We hope to stay again in the future.

A delightful stay

The Cricket House is wonderfully quant, in an amazing historic district. It's clean, and meticulously maintained. It also provides the perfect location for everything you'll want to do in the area. Close to town - walkable, + a close distance to everything else by car. Convenient parking is available right in front of the front door, and there's a nice, private back yard area/patio to relax during times of nice weather. The Owners are very responsive and easy to correspond with via VRBO's "message to the host" system on the website. Only caution would be the stairs in the house could be difficult for young children or seniors. Highly recommend the Cricket House, it's one of my all-time favorite VRBO rentals, would definitely stay there again.
