Great Stay & Excellent Value

We had a wonderful stay. The home was very clean and the furnishings were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Even thought it was on Old Rt 30, it was still very quiet and our dogs were able to feel safe and secure. Close to everything we wanted to see, downtown gettysburg, the battlefield, & adams county winery.

Nice weekend

We enjoyed a very nice weekend in this spotless home 10 minutes away from Gettysburg. It is a cute and completely rebuilt home with all modern conveniences. A large screened porch is a nice bonus. We would be happy to stay here in the future!

Nice vacation rental

We have stayed here before and had no problem when deciding to return. The house is clean and comfortable. The only problem is the tub/shower, it is very slick and needs to have tub mat and hand held bar for the tub/shower.

Perfect location! Far enough away from the busy hustle and bustle, but close enough (10 min) to take multiple trips into Gettysburg throughout each day. Love being able to drive past so much history on our way in! Owners were wonderful about allowing us to have our pets! Only surprise was no access to washer and dryer and no grill. I should have paid attention to the listing better! Didn't put a dent in our trip though! Home was extremely clean and very welcoming! We loved sitting on the porch in the cool mornings, and it was perfectly air-conditioned to escape the heat of the day. Absolutely perfect for our needs!

House was great. Front door was difficult to maneuver. Instructions for the heat/air would have been helpful. But all in all it was a good experience.

Bike week

We chose this location because is was close enough too town yet far enough away that we would be able to rest at night without the noise of bikes constantly! Very clean, a little on the smaller side, but it worked for ny family. My only real complaint is that there was not central air and we had to keep the bedroom window air conditioners on one specific setting. As that may be cool for some people, it wasn’t for us, especially being in the mid 90’s temp wise. I would stay here again! Don was very kind and helpful any time I msgd him prior to our trip!

Cute and cozy. Screened front porch was the favorite spot of the whole house. Spent majority of my time out there with our 3 dachshunds while hubby did the battlefields thing. Next time around will definitely bring camping table and chairs for outdoor meals and star gazing. House is facing a main road however road noise wasn't bad; was able to keep windows open to enjoy the mountain air. Diner in town serves awesome breakfast! All in all had a nice stay. Hope to reserve again!
