Retreat to the Stratton House-Unique Historic District Home-Backs to Culp's Hill

Superior location in downtown Gettysburg historic district. Located on a quiet street two blocks from Lincoln Square, you can watch the sunset over the battlefield from the back of this historic property. We offer private off-street parking for your car.

This house was built by Gettysburg town physician Dr. J.W.C. O'Neill, who had an extensive history during the battle. It was later used a photography studio by renowned Civil War battlefield photographer WIlliam H. Tipton.

The house is two blocks from downtown shops, restaurants, ghost and walking tours and events in the historic district. Half a mile to Gettysburg College and a mile and a half to the Gettysburg Museum and Visitor's Center.

When you are done exploring, let the Stratton House take care of you! Unique features include central air conditioning, high speed wireless internet, and a cable package featuring 150 Comcast stations and streaming capabilities. There is a large TV in the living room which also features a modern double reclining loveseat.

We provide comfortable bedding, extra pillows and plenty of towels. Enjoy meals prepared in the fully equipped kitchen. The fenced courtyard provides a seating area and gas grill.

If you are traveling with a baby or toddler, we can provide a Pac 'n Play and a high chair if needed.

We are only 10 miles from Ski Liberty for winter travelers who would like to ski or snow tube. We are only 50 miles from Lancaster Dutch Country, 50 miles to Hershey Park, 65 miles to Washington, DC; 60 miles to Baltimore, 54 miles BWI Airport and 62 miles to Dulles Airport.

You will have private access to the South side of the Stratton House, which has a living room, bedroom, dining area, full accessible bathroom and kitchen. There is another vacation rental unit on the North side of the house that is completely separate from this unit with a separate privacy fenced yard. The owners live in a third unit on the property that is also fully separate from your rental. One parking space is available for your use. If you need another parking space during your stay, please let us know before you arrive and we may be able to accommodate your request.

This is a very quiet church and residential neighborhood. We ask that you not hold parties, or make loud outside noise after 9 PM. Also, we request that there is no loud noise or music inside the residence after 10 PM. These rules are in place for the comfort and security of all guests who visit us.

There is no smoking or vaping inside the house at any time.

Three day tour

The property was well maintained and came with some thoughtful amenities. The house seemed comparable to the majority of houses in the downtown area. That being said, the price of hotel rooms in the same area seemed to be much lower and would have been a much better overall value for our short stay.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Stratton House property. The property was well kept, very clean, and located in close proximity to downtown shops, restaurants, and historic sites. The owners were very responsive to an issue that we had will the WiFi service and got it resolved right away. We would stay here again. Highly recommend!

Beautiful Fall stay in Gettysburg

We had a lovely stay at Stratton House South. The location is perfect, an easy walk to dining and shops, yet still quiet. The unit is quite comfortable, though a little shy on power outlets by the bed. The historic notes throughout the unit were very interesting. We loved having the side yard for our use, and the provided coffee and eggs were delicious! We would definitely stay here again.

Great property!!! It was everything as advertised. The house was well maintained, very comfortable and decorated nicely. The fresh ground coffee was excellent and the location was within a 10 minute walk to shops and restaurants. Perfect place for 2 and we would stay there again.

We were quite comfortable in the apartment, and the location was perfect— walkable to all of downtown, and 15 minutes from the Hauser Hill event center. And Paul & Lisa’s specially roasted coffee was a great way to start the day!

Best VRBO Rental ever!

Beautiful clean property. Paul and Lisa go above and beyond to make your stay comfortable. The fresh eggs in the refrigerator, the fresh ground coffee and snacks, were special touches that took it over the top. I forgot my toothbrush and toothpaste and they even had that covered. We already booked next year! My husband loved the reclining seats and big TV! Thank you for a wonderful relaxing long weekend!

Great Property

This is a great property right in the heart of Gettysburg. Perfect for a long weekend. Very convenient to the battlefield and within walking distance of downtown. While it's an older home, it is very well maintained and nicely furnished. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evening after walking back form dinner. Would definitely recommend.

Sound

The only complaint we have is that the private residence on the property was a bit loud. We could hear them coming and going and in the mornings as well.
