The Best Location in Gatlinburg

We were on the 2nd floor apartment and it was very nice! Ron was so accommodating. This had to be the best location in Gettysburg!! We were near all of the restaurants and activities! We loved staying here and will stay again at this unit the next time we are in Gettysburg!!

Great weekend stay in Gettysburg

Great Family Stay in Gettysburg

We came to stay for a family girls history trip. The apartment fit us comfortably. Nice kitchen, bathroom & bedroom. Plenty of towels & kitchen gear. It was a great spot too- close to everything plus a parking spot out back! We liked the patio in the evening it was very relaxing! Owner Rod brought us a box fan to keep us extra cool in the 95 + heat even with air units! Check in and out was a breeze! Great experience-

Exactly as advertised

I booked for a sports tournament and the stay was a great location in downtown Gettysburg. We frequently walked to restaurants and stores downtown (a few blocks). Rod was very welcoming and communicative before and during the check in process. He gave a tour and small history lesson on the property and was available if we had questions. Space has multiple air condition units to keep it cool in the summer. Perfect for 2 or Family of 4.

Cozy and homey

We really enjoyed our stay in Gettsyburg. It was nice to come back from the battlefields to a clean comfy cozy apartment. We were delighted to see a dove hatch two eggs and watch her mother her new chicks every time we left for the day and come back in the evening.

Convenient, comfortable and clean.

What else is there? Walkable to many local stores and restaurants. Everything you would need was in the house, if I had been inclined to cook. Comfy bed and comfy couch. Nice linens and we had a great view of the Halloween parade from the front stoop. Would stay again.

Historic feel and close to the south battlefield.

My family and I enjoyed our stay and the property owner was very nice and communicative. The location was excellent with easy walk to stores, restaurants, and the battlefield. My only negatives were the door locks are tricky, they are old and you have to wiggle them just right to work. The property was clean but not 5 star clean, there was some dirt behind the table in kitchen. The AC was also out but thankfully the property owner had window units and ceiling fans so it wasn’t a problem. We enjoyed the stay and we would stay there again.

Very Nice Accommodations

It's pretty cool to stay in a historic house right in Gettysburg, and the modern touches inside made it very comfortable. For 3 adults and 2 teens, it served us well, and was clean and tidy. It's a great location, a few blocks north to the center of town, a few blocks to the National Cemetery. I went there 3 times, to honor my fallen Minnesota heroes who gave all. One area that was lacking relative to other VRBOs I've stayed at was the kitchen. The cookware was minimal, and spices virtually non-existent. There was a pair of shakers for salt and pepper, but both had pepper. When I'm on vacation I love to grill dinner for the family, and the gas grill was pretty weak tea. On check in I asked the host if there was charcoal, and he quickly ran and got a new bag, which was very helpful. I'd stay here again in a heart beat.

Perfect & Great Hosts

Great location & apartment to stay at in downtown Gettysburg! Wonderful hosts! We stayed the end of April 2023 for three nights. Ron is a super nice host, a local who knows all about the town's history and where to go, what to see and easily accessible. The second floor apartment we stayed at was spacious, plenty of natural light, was clean, fully furnished, comfortable beds. The kitchen has a full size stove, oven and refrigerator. We parked our vehicle in the apartment's designated spot behind the house and didn't need to drive anywhere until we left. The apartment is centrally located to be able to walk anywhere downtown for tours, restaurants, shops, walking Cemetery Hill battlefield and getting the best ice cream at Mr. G's. Our dog had a great time too, it was a major plus bringing him on vacation. After a day of sightseeing, we could sit on the back deck to relax. This will be our only place to stay for future Gettysburg trips and will recommend it to family and friends.
