Description of the Gettysburg vacation home rental

The three story white brick house was built in 1803. The home was recently awarded a plaque that states the house was standing during the Battle of Gettysburg. The property was occupied during the Battle by the Confederate Army. The house includes a wrap around porch with rocking chairs where you can rock and have your morning coffee. On the first floor you will find an eat-in-kitchen, living room, dining room, bathroom and a small bedroom (sleeps one). The second floor includes 4 bedrooms and one bathroom. The bedrooms include one king, two queens, and two twin beds. The attic is open, airy, carpeted, and includes one twin bed and satellite TV.

The property is located 3 minutes west of downtown Gettysburg and is across the street from Marsh Creek. Situated on an acre and a half, you can often see deer and rabbit as well as an occasional fox or groundhog. There are many different types of birds to see and hear including owls, hummingbirds, and woodpeckers.

The house is conveniently located to the battlefield, the Eisenhower Farm, shopping, Ski Liberty, golf, and downtown.

 Great house, November 21, 2008

By Suzanne (Manahawkin, NJ USA)

We are civil war buffs and have stayed in Gettysburg many times but this was the first time we rented a home. It was a whole new experience and everything we hoped for. The house had lots of room for our party of nine. The character and charm of this Civil War home made our trip all the more memorable and enjoyable. The owners are very easy to work with also.

 

 Fantastic home!, September 6, 2008

By David Thibodeau (Maine, USA)

We stayed for 5 nights at this house and found it very charming. Our group of 4 adults / 3 kids had plenty of room to move around (and stay out of each other's hair) and the yard, wildlife and close proximity to town were all added benefits...as well as the bikes and fire pit! We are thinking of returning next year!

 

 A wonderful house...we will be back!, August 9, 2008

By Jim (Herndon, VA)

History buffs and old house fans will love staying in this home. It is roomy, comfortable, and well-furnished. (Ground floor bedroom and bath will be appreciated by families traveling with an older parent.) There are books and maps available to brush up on local history as you plan your day. Location is great - easy access to the battlefield and attractions in town, yet a peaceful, secluded setting on a quiet road. Kids enjoyed the bikes and sports gear left in the garage, but sitting on the porch rockers and enjoying nature is nice, too. Only one hour to Hersheypark!

 Wonderful Gettysburg Rental, July 15, 2008

By Twyla Schmidt (Eau Claire, WI USA)

This is a classic Northern farmhouse that was everything we hoped for and more. We live in Wisconsin and vacationed in Gettysburg over the Fouth of July, with my parents and sister and brother-in-law. Our kids(three boys, oldest is 6) enjoyed the large yard, which is even better in person than in the pictures. Plenty of space for everyone. Ceiling fans in every room kept the house comfortable. Absolutely perfect location. Very private and peaceful, yet under a five minute drive to downtown shops. Just minutes to the first stop on the battlefield tour. Wonderful place for those who appreciate the historical value of that time period to stay. Large collection of civil war books available to renters. Libby and Al were very easy to work with. They even had some plastic dishes, perfect for our boys. A great place for families. We had a lot that we wanted to see and do in the area, and the house was the perfect place for our family to relax and unwind in the evening.
