Beautiful historic home
We stayed there to attend a local wedding. The house was beautiful and well maintained. The location was perfect. Nice and quiet, no close neighbors and it was easy to find where you were going. Check in/out was super easy.

Wonderful home, Great location
This was a perfect home to stay we were in Gettysburg for my Daughters wedding and the family stayed at the house. The location was so close to the venue and we got to visit the battlefields of Gettysburg. Loved that it had a fire pit and the kitchen was perfect for making meals there. Loved the old farm house feel with lots of upgrades.

Gettysburg History Review
We had a wonderful time in Gettysburg and our stay at the farm was awesome. If you are looking to stay at an old farm house with all the character that offers then this is your place! Every room has its own feel and helps bring a coziness to your stay. we would gladly choose this place again.

Fabulous for our family!
The house was charming and quirky and filled with character. We all fell in love with it! The bedrooms were spacious and the living space was great. We loved that the dining table had room for all 8 of us. The grounds were beautiful and the kids loved catching fish, roasting marshmallows and playing on the swing. The location was so convenient but away from the crowds. The host responded to our questions and needs promptly. We had a great stay!

Gettyburg Gem
Loved this property and highly recommend. Rustic, lovely, easy kitchen, and accommodating host were big assets. Right on the edge of a Battlefield, and an easy drive into town made this a very lovely time with family. Pond in the back and paddleboat were a big hit, and the fireflies put on an amazing show (that was a bonus!). Thank you much!

Relaxing charm and character close to the East Cavalry Battlefield
We loved this early 1900’s farmhouse! It was the perfect location for our visit to Gettysburg. Anna, the host, was so easy to contact with any questions we had and responded very quickly. The pond, barn and surrounding yard and fields were the perfect outdoor setting for being outside with coffee in the mornings or evenings. So relaxing. And the house has lots of charm character. Thank you for a wonderful place to stay.

Nice place for the money
Spacious property with great outdoors and fire pit. Inside the house it is older, but in good condition and sufficient room. Kitchen is very basic. owners are very responsive to any reach out for information or concerns. Overall, a good place to say when visiting Gettysburg as the large outdoors and fire pit offer great relaxation. Cheers.

Great for Large Groups
Brought a group of 10 men to this property and stayed for 4 nights. The property was excellent. Plenty of space for a large group, and being able to have a fire was great. The property was clean and well-maintained. Owners were very accommodating and helpful with the few questions we had. Just a few minutes from the battlefield and downtown Gettysburg. This property will be top of our list to try and book for next year.

Gettysburg weekend
We had such a wonderful time in this house and in the Gettysburg area. The home was very clean and advertising correctly. The house is only 5 minutes from the center of town. We walked the property in the evening and it was beautiful! Eight adults stayed here and had plenty of room! The stairs we abit daunting for my parents ages 76-78 but we managed!

Gettysburg Getaway
This property is amazing for any and all groups. This beautiful and spacious home is accompanied by a wonderful yard that has a pond and a firepit. The location of the property is very nice because you get the space and serenity of the countryside and you are just a short drive from town. If your goal is for the walkability of Gettysburg this would not be ideal however, this place is a must stay. Counting down the days until I can return to Gettysburg and book this house again.

Delightful Gettysburg Stay
Our stay was very nice. The house was clean and the property was lovely. Walking around the pond was very peaceful. The beds were very comfy! The only issue we had was the lock on the door. It's a little tricky and lucky for us the owner was there when we were trying to lock it. They explained how the lock should work and we had no issues after. Otherwise, it was a wonderful and enjoyable stay. We have recommended the house to others and would be happy to stay there again.

College Graduation
Our son was graduating from Gettysburg College so I needed a place for the grandparents and us to stay. This was perfect! Everyone enjoyed the solitude and the screened porch was popular for morning coffee. I especially appreciated the large dining room table where we all fit and could sit and reminisce. It was a wonderful weekend and having this “home base” was so much better than hotel rooms somewhere. Thanks for the wonderful weekend!

Fantastic As Always
This is the third year in a row that I have brought a group of men out to Gettysburg for a men's retreat. We have loved staying here each time. The old house lends itself perfectly to the historical significance of the area. The landscape behind the property is beautiful, and the fire pit out back has facilitated hours upon hours of meaningful discussion for men trying to become better leaders, husbands, fathers, and sons. Anna is accommodating and awesome to deal with. I will never book another place to stay in Gettysburg for as long as I do these men's trips, and plan to one day bring my own family out to stay here.

Birthday stay
A little late with this review, but we stayed from March 3-5 as a surprise trip for our son as he loves Gettysburg. The house itself is in a great location, close to several local areas including downtown Gettysburg. Great location for anybody wanting to tour the battlefield. The house is a lovely farmhouse with character. We were able to have a nice campfire Saturday evening, although the weather Friday and Saturday was not agreeable with wind and rain, we still had a great time and fully anticipated that the weather may not be great since we were staying in March. Overall, a great house with a nice outdoor space to enjoy and in a very good location. The road the house sits on was pretty quiet and is not a main road so cars don’t go that fast. Would recommend!

8/10 Good

erron b.

was a lovely home and property.
Papa and I went with our daughter, son in law and 3 grandsons aged 6-11. Pots, kettles and frypans in the kitchen were a bit lacking for meal preps. The stairs are steep and narrow to the 2nd floor bathroom and bedrooms, which is TOTALLY in character for a home of this vintage. This might however pose a problem for people with small children or disability. We totally enjoyed the acreage to hike, fish, campfire, play games on. . We were there for the Civil War re -enactment and after hours of sitting in bleachers, it gave the boys ample space to burn off energy. Last year we stayed in a lovely higher end chain hotel ....this was a similar value with the benefit of doing some of our own meals, and provided relatively quiet, convenient to Gettysburg, off the beaten path, private setting. My son in law locked himself out of the house inadvertently...the owners were very accommodating getting him back in. Any questions we text or emailed to them were answered immediately as was the lockout phone call! We would all definitely stay here again.

Almost perfect
Overall, this was a lovely property. Our group consisted of five adults who were all looking forward to a relaxing week. Pros and cons: Pros - Check-in was great - house was ready for an early arrival and check-in was seamless (lockbox). House and decor were so charming! Absolutely loved the little details. Kitchen was great for a weeklong stay - plenty of dishes, cookware and utensils to ensure we could easily prepare meals. Location!!!! Between the trails on the property to explore and the proximity to Historic Gettysburg, this absolutely met our needs. Cons - Beds in two of the three rooms (blue and yellow) were just not comfortable. AC units could use updating - while they did the job, they were loud and one of them (blue room) required a set of pliers to turn the knob. The pond.....we were so looking forward to using the pond for fishing, paddleboating, and just relaxing by. Unfortunately, something hit this pond that caused excessive pond scum and countless dead fish that made it unusable. This was so disappointing as it was one of the main reasons we rented this property. Overall, we enjoyed the property and think the owners do a great job with it, however, would hesitate renting again unless pond was in a better state.

Gettysburg family trip
We gifted my father in law a trip to Gettysburg for his 80th birthday. And being a Huge civil war buff this house was the perfect place to stay. Right on the battlefields. A pond for fishing (which everyone loved) and a farm style house that was homey and quiet. It was a close enough drive to everywhere we needed to go but far enough away. The host was extremely responsive when I had questions prior to the visit. Everything was great and the house was perfect! If we ever come back, this is definitely where we want to stay! Thank you so much!!

Quick family weekend getaway!
Our family of seven stayed Fri-Sat in Sept 2024 and enjoyed this property and grounds. It's conveniently located just minutes from many attractions in Gettysburg, many dining options, retail options, grocery, etc.....but you wouldn't know it, it's beautifully peaceful! My kids (age 9-19) enjoyed paddling around the pond and fishing (no catches, but they had fun). The pond does have duck weed, but our ponds at home do as well and know how difficult it can be to treat and maintain. It didn't impact our stay at all. The screened covered porch was were we hung out after a busy day of tours and sightseeing. Great for playing the games they have at the house and quiet reading. We would recommend this property if you appreciate some space to stretch out and some quiet after a busy day taking in historic Gettysburg.

Beautiful country setting
We came for a short weekend getaway with our daughters. I worked nicely for a central location for everyone. The property had plenty of room and activities for all to choose from. We took daily walks to the neighboring battle fields. And when we were ready to head into Gettysburg it was a quick 6 minute trip. And many of the other attractions were also only 5 to 20 minutes away. Great place to stay if you like that little bit of privacy, and appreciate the charm of older homes.
