Phenomenal location that cannot be beat! You're walking distance to every major shop/museum/attraction/restaurant on Baltimore Street or Lincoln Circle. But, by being at the center of action, you'll hear the traffic/pedestrians all night long. After a while though, it just becomes white noise. The historic building is very clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Cool rooms. Plenty of space for our family of three. Hosts were very responsive to any questions we had. We would 100% stay here again!

Very Historic

This was a great place to stay. Location is fantastic, within walking distance to everything. Apartment was very clean and organized. But you need to remember, this is a historic building, and on the main road. You WILL hear traffic all hours of the night especially trucks. So if you are a light sleeper, this is not for you. I would also suggest maybe some hooks or a place to put your clothes in the bathroom. Kitchen well stocked with pot, pans, dishes. Kuerig coffee maker, toaster and a regular coffee maker if you so choose.Would definitely stay again!

In the heart of it all!

Historic property right on the Main Street through Gettysburg. Could not ask for a better (or safer) location! 5-10 minute walk either way to everything a history lover would want to see (though drove to the battlefield bc it’s so huge).Apartment was pleasantly larger than anticipated, with a great amount of space for my 2 sons and I (and their army men battle recreation). Kitchen had basics, which was perfect for big breakfasts. Bathroom is huge with strong water pressure. Only suggestion is a comfy chair or love seat to collapse into after walking all day!Pete and Ben were also super responsive to my questions prior to trip. Would 100% stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay. Check-in was easy and location was fantastic. Could walk everywhere in town and was only a couple minute drive to the battlefield. Great place to stay for a weekend in Gettysburgh.

A much anticipated trip.

My husband and I were finally able to take our youngest kids (18 & 21 years old) to see the D.C. area along with Gettysburg. The place is literally on the corner of 2 major roads in town. I was a bit surprised how near the traffic was. It could be noisy at times but did not bother us too much. It may bother others who are light sleepers. We enjoyed the time at Gettysburg and this place worked out for us. It was a little tight feeling in the sleeping space with 4 adults but we had fun. We really enjoyed the full kitchen and how close everything was to the place. We loved just exploring the shops in town after finishing out battlefield tour.

Girls’ Weekend

Super cute place. Felt very safe. Within walking distance to most things. Did not get check in information until 1-2 hours after check in. But I feel like that was an anomaly. The owners were otherwise very responsive and friendly. I would absolutely stay here again. And I would highly recommend this VRBO.

The location is perfect if you want to be near the happenings of town but not in the middle of the busininess. Cozy set up is perfect for 3-4 people. Everything was clean and orderly ready to set up and relax.

Super Fun Family Weekend

We were so super excited for our family weekend getaway in Gettysburg! The apartment was PERFECT! We were able to park our car and walk to everything! The location was in the middle of everything and we walked to everywhere in town. The only time we used our car was when we explored the Devil's Den and the Sach's Covered Bridge. Absolutely loved the apartment just could benefit with getting some new pillows for the beds! We would definitely stay here again! defi
