About this property
Perfect Location: Historic Downtown Guesthouse
NO ORDINARY ADDRESS
Built in the 1840's and newly renovated, this 2-level, 4-bedroom Italianate-style townhome apartment reflects the Federal majesty of the mid-1800's, and the individualistic expressions of post-Civil war Gettysburg. Street-facing windows on the main level are accentuated with stained glass, creating a feel-good rainbow effect in the common area parlor and dining room.
Bedrooms on the first and second level pay tribute to the owners' family heritage. Take your pick from the Charles, Chastang, Earley or Hughes bedrooms. Like the people whose names they bear, each room has its own personality and ambiance. A major upgrade is the amazing chandelier-adorned spa bath that lets you know this is no ordinary Gettysburg address... This is The LaVerne Guesthouse.
Located one-half block from Lincoln Square and three doors down from the historic Wills House, The LaVerne is within walking distance to dining, antiquing, shopping, and the theater. This guesthouse is appointed with all the basics you need to feel at home, including kitchenware, towels, linens and paper products.
The property will be cleaned and ready for your arrival; however, there is no daily housekeeping service. Therefore, we respectfully request that you maintain the home in a neat and orderly fashion, wash any dishes used in the kitchen and spot clean when necessary.

Location was ideal— just steps away from Lincoln Square. Host was communicative and helpful, and apartment was furnished comfortably. Ideal rental for our group of 7.
Apartment is in a great location, close to everything. Reservation to check in was seamless. The place is well apointed with everything we needed and plenty of room for 6 of us.
Our first time in Gettysburg and we wanted to be in a perfect location and this was it for sure. We walked to shops and restaurants and explored everything we could. If we had to drive, it was easy to get in and out of the parking lot. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Would definitely stay here again.
We stayed here for a weekend and enjoyed the location! Within walking distance to almost everything, we didn't drive all weekend. Check-in was easy and we had a lot of space. Would definitely stay here again.
Very nicely decorated, comfy beds. You can’t beat the location. Walk out into the street and find great restaurants and cute shops. Close to the historic battlefields and museums.
This is our 2nd time staying with our family at this home. It’s a great location, has ample space to hang out, and easily sleeps our group of 7 and could fit at least one more. Thank you!
Of all the places we have stayed, this is the cleanest place we have ever stayed. This location was so conveniently located to everything we needed to get to. Very quick response to our questions and a minor glitch was resolved very quickly. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
Stayed with friends at The LaVerne. The location is second-to-none. It was easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The rooms were well appointed and the guest house had everything we needed. Don't think twice about renting this place!
The place was exactly what we needed. So convenient to be right in town and have 2 parking spots in back. Four beautiful bedrooms, each tastefully done. Definitely will consider coming back!
We went to visit the battlefield for my son’s 16th bday with our family and my in-laws. The place is lovely and clean and centrally located. It was the perfect place to access the battlefield, the cool restaurants and walks on Gettysburg campus. Absolutely would stay there again
The Laverne House never disappoints! This was our third time staying here, and it is just as wonderful as the first time. Everything is clean and comfortable, the owners are very nice and easy to get in touch with, there are so many things to do within walking distance, and they added a Keurig since the last time we stayed! When we end up back on Gettysburg, we will definitely try to stay here again!
