'Experience' The History In Downtown Gettysburg - 1st Floor

The home is a pre-civil war structure with modern conveniences. A witness to Lincoln's procession to the national cemetery where he gave his famous Gettysburg address, it sits in the middle of Gettysburg's historic district. You will have fun exploring the area; the adventurous will enjoy touring the 40 miles of battlefield roads (by bicycle, horseback or vehicle), tour a civil war house, talk to the soldiers in encampments and reenactments, or take a haunted ghost tour by night.

At the end of the day you can relax and enjoy your stay at our newly renovated 1st floor apartment or sit outside on one of the two decks. There are 2 bedrooms (a queen bed in each), and a pull out chair bed with an extra mattress for comfort in the second bedroom. There is 1 bathroom which consists of a tub/shower combo, a fully fitted eat-in kitchen, a TV/sitting room with cable TV, and Wifi. We provide you with towels, linens, handsoap, dish liquid, paper towels, toilet paper, pots and pans, utensils, coffee maker, toaster, iron and board, hair dryer; everything that will make you feel right at home!

You will love the location. We are with-in walking distance to restaurants, museums, the national cemetery where Lincoln gave his address, art galleries, shops, and everything else Gettysburg has to offer. Leave the driving to someone else and hop on the local trolley to see other out of town sites including the new national park service visitor center & museum, and cyclorama. You can take a day trip to surrounding Hershey park (50 miles), Washington DC (60 miles), Lancaster PA Dutch country (45 miles), or skiing about 10 minutes south of town.

College visit.
We were in Gettysburg to watch our granddaughter play volleyball at the college. Location was great. I thought we would hear a lot of road noise but it was very quiet. Places to eat with in walking distance Clean and comfortable! Hosts were very accommodating. Games started at 3 and We were able to check in early.so we didn’t have to rush. All and all it was a good place to stay.

Historic apartment in the heart of Gettysburg
We had a great stay. It's an old historic home so it doesn't have all the modern conveniences but it is very comfortable, clean, and has many stores and eateries right outside your door. You can easily walk around town and sightsee. The host was very responsive to our needs. We had a good time and will be back.

Civil war era home. Centrally located with easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, national cemetery. Short drive to the civil war visitors center and the national Park. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable. The owner was helpful in giving suggestions for area attractions.

Wonderful place to stay in the heart of Gettysburg. Walk to the many restaurants in the town, step out the back door and there’s Cemetery Ridge and Culp’s Hill. Rod is the perfect host, and the historic house contains everything that could be needed.

A wonderful Anniversary weekend getaway!!!!
I took my husband of 14 wonderful years to see Gettysburg. He is an avid lover of history so I wanted to take him to a place that was ripe with. The apartment was lovely and in its own right a part of the history. The surrounding area was a dream of history and beauty, loss and victory. We were there for 2 days and didn’t see everything. We are both looking forward to going again. And will gladly stay here again.

Location and Comfort
This rental is exactly as described. It is very clean and comfortable. The beds were great as well. We had our coffee on the deck and enjoyed the morning. We enjoyed that it’s location is within walkable district to shops and some points of interest. Parking on site is another perk. Rod met us at check in and was very helpful. We would definitely stay here again should we return to Gettysburg.
