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

Imagine yourself back in the year 1863 when you take in the festivities of our 150th anniversary of the civil war at Gettysburg! 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 accommodation located on historic baltimore street in downtown Gettysburg. There are 2 bedrooms (a queen bed in each), a day bed in the second bedroom and can sleep 5. 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, 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.

Downtown Gettysburg
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.
