About this property
Antietam Toll House~ an historic waterfront cabin with fully fenced yard.
The Antietam Toll House (Instagram @antietamtollhouse) is a recently renovated historic property circa 1800 which sits on the bank-head of the Antietam stream, complete with a private fishing hole. The property has fenced front and back yard and sits at the end of a private drive on over a half acre of land. This was the gatekeepers house for the original toll bridge which was burned by General Lee's army on their retreat from Gettysburg. Secluded, yet close to amenities and attractions, this property is the perfect place for an artist retreat, respite from the city or a base from which to explore the local gems of the area. Wineries, the Appalachian trail, Antietam and Gettysburg battlefields and Ski Liberty and more all nearby. The area is rich in history. https://waynesboropa.org/history/ As this was the original toll house the new road and bridge run behind this property. While private you can expect some road noise outside. Historical notes. Iron bridge
“Ever since I was given the title of Historian from Washington Township, my main focus has been on the Monterey Pass Battlefield. However, Monterey Pass is only a piece of the puzzle when it comes to the larger picture. On Leitersburg Pike, Route 316 West (South Potomac Street in Waynesboro) stood a wooden bridge that spanned the little Antietam Creek in Washington Township, Franklin County just west of Waynesboro was burned by the Confederate rearguard during the Retreat from Gettysburg. Here are two official reports from the Union army that would eventually ford the Antietam Creek to follow be hind the rearguard of the Confederate infantry during their march to Williamsport, Maryland. “Preparations were immediately made to carry out the above orders. Rations were procured and cooked under the directions of Quartermaster John C. Mullett, and orders were received to form in line at 3 p. m. of the 11th instant. Here, at this time, we joined you brigade for the first time, having been separated, as before mentioned, during our stay at Waynesborough, and marched down the hill on to the road; halted for the other regiments in our brigade to come into line, where we had to wait one full hour before they came into line, a delay, I am happy to say, which the gallant Sixty-eight regiment never caused any officer or brigade while in the service, being always prompt. Preparations being completed, orders were given, Battalion, right face; forward march!” and we were off for “Dixie,” our march being on the direct road to Hagerstown from Waynesborough. Outmarch was with quick step for the first 4 miles. When we arrived at the Little Antietam – a river, from the heavy rains which had fallen, had become much swollen, and was very rough and rapid, the bridge over which had been destroyed by Lee’s army, on their retreat after the Gettysburg fight, only three days before, which we had to ford -we had now advanced some 2 miles across the line into Maryland. After fording and getting everything across, our march was slow and cautious, being in close proximity with the rebel pickets, and every moment expecting an engagement. Marching slowly, the night very dark, mud deep, we came to a halt in an open field about 10 o’clock, where the division bivouacked for the remainder of the night having sent out pickets and taken every precaution against a surprise.” L. THOMAS, Adjutant-General “Bivouacked at Funkstown; terrible rain-storm all night and until 10 a. m. July 8. But little to eat; marched on to Waynesborough, near to Maryland line, a considerable village, where we found the Sixth Army of Corps [Neill’s Brigade] of ok the Potomac bivouacked on the hills south of the village. July 9, 10, 11. Pleasant weather, and rations just before sundown orders to march; marched; forded Antietam Creek, the timber of the bridge, burned by the rebels, yet smoking; 11 p. m. bivouacked at Leitersburg, in a clover-field.” PHILIP S. CROOKE, Brigadier-General, Fifth Brigade

Cozy and eclectic, dog friendly, historic cottage on a secluded piece of property despite the easy access to the main road right next to it. Perfect for a little getaway or for exploring all the historic places in the surrounding area. Close to major stores etc so you’ll never go without if you forget something, but far enough to be in peace.
Thinking of visiting Antietam and Gettysburg? This is the place to go, charming cabin with everything you need for your stay. Great location, peaceful and secluded.
The cabin was wonderful! It was rustic but very clean and had modern conveniences. My wife and I especially enjoyed sitting on the river's edge and watching the leaves drift by.
This was a great place to stay. It was quiet and peaceful. Great place for my dog. The cabin had everything we needed. It was a great location to visit Gettysburg and Antietam.

The Toll House was clean, had all the amenities advertised, and host had great communication. Very nice to have a fenced yard for my small dog to roam. I recommend this to others!
Loved it! Peaceful, nice fenced in area for the pup. She loved watching the ducks in the creek. Owner was very nice and has everything you need at the property.
Very nice property along side of the Antietam Creek. Wonderful rustic charm with modern conveniences.
Brilliantly located between Hagerstown MD and Gettysburg PA— good jumping off point for antiques or history.
This place was so cozy and peaceful. Very clean and overlooking Antietam Creek. We absolutely enjoyed the property, especially the fire pit and the cozy living room . I absolutely recommend this property if you like rustic history and a cabin vibe.
We were so pleased with everything about this lovely home! It was clean & well supplied with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable! We loved having the stream right there & watching the birds. The location was perfect for visiting the area & seeing the sites. We enjoyed the Fort Ritchie museum & the Greenhouse Cafe. My husband was stationed there 51 years ago. I would highly recommend this property!
Very relaxing with lots of charm. The fenced yard was a definite plus for our restless doggies 😊
Will definitely stay there again if I’m the area.
Property manager was very polite and quick to respond to any questions. Thank you 🙏
Husband is a Civil War buff. Exciting to stay in the cabin with its' history and location to battle grounds.
Everything we needed was provided in the cabin. Our dog enjoyed the 2 fenced -in yards and laying on the patio.
Thank you, Michele, for sharing your cabin with us.
I was exited about this cottage because we could take our dog and there was a fenced area.
Hubby loved the creek, he fished a lot. Caught a lot too.
We traveled to Gettysburg and around Waynesboro, but mostly chilled and rested.
Love the history, here in this property.
This was our third time staying here we try to go every yr if we can. We enjoy the peace here when you live in a city it is amazing being in nature for a week and away from all that. Our dogs enjoy having two yards that they like making us get up and let them out to both a couple times a day so they can go explore but hey it’s their vacation to if that’s their fun time lol.
We had a wonderful stay at this charming little cabin, located in a beautiful location on the stream. Yeah, there's a little bit of road noise, but it's easily ignored and the cabin is actually semi-isolated. In fact you can see it from the road only if you know it's there. The place is perfect! I wish we were able to spend more time there. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise!
This place is lovely. It feels very rustic and tucked away, but it is so close to so many things! Everything about the place itself was so intentional. We loved the record player, the gas fireplace, the fan/space heater in the bedroom! We had a small issue upon arrival, and the host was so responsive and accommodating - it just made us enjoy the stay more!! One thing to note - and this didn't bother us at all (we slept SO well) - is that there is some overnight truck traffic on the bridge behind the cabin, so if you are a light sleeper, definitely plan accordingly!
We stayed at the Antietam Toll House on the coldest night in 10 years. Outside temps were 3 degrees Fahrenheit with wind chills less than zero. The cabin provided a cozy respite to a frigid night. It is a charming home in a lovely location next to a stream. Michelle was responsive to our requests. Lots of little details of design that enhanced the stay. We look forward to coming back in summer.
