A wonderful period home. The woodwork in the home is fantastic. Great location, easy walk downtown and 5 minute drive to the battlefield. My favorite space was the library; great for morning coffee and evening wine. The home is very well equipped and very clean. Nice spot for our visit.

Perfect stay!

We spent 4 nights at this property and it was perfect. The place is spacious and after a long day out and about it is great to have a place to stretch out and not be in a hotel room. Very easy to walk to many areas in Gettysburg and a short drive to other areas. We would stay here again for sure!
