Grand Strickhouser Manor c.1853 – Private Downtown Home – Free Parking

A witness homestead of the Battle of Gettysburg circa 1853, discover the charm of Gettysburg from our cozy retreat, perfectly located downtown, steps from the square and minutes from the iconic Gettysburg battlefields. Ideal for history enthusiasts and casual explorers alike, this home offers a unique blend of comfort, convenience and period furnishings. Live the Gettysburg experience and its pivotal significance of The Civil War. Skiing enthusiasts may enjoy the offerings of Ski Liberty with scheduled busing from Gettysburg's downtown. My historic home is in the heart of Gettysburg and offers easy access to a charming small-town center filled with walkable museums, shops, and historic attractions. While you'll enjoy the convenience of being steps away from these amenities, please note that the vibrant main street can bring some traffic noise. Perfect for groups or families, the home offers 4 large bedrooms (with queen beds) and 3 full bathrooms, including a master suite with a private deck and backyard views. Enjoy the convenience of a fully equipped kitchen, a large living/dining space, and a second-floor deck with a grill and outdoor dining area for evenings under the stars.

House is in great location, walking distance to center of Gettysburg. Maybe more attention to detail from cleaning crew between renters could be used. Chips and crumbs on floor/furniture in several rooms. Nothing major and wouldnt stop us from recommending to future renters.

Family time with a ton of history!!

It has been on my Father in Law’s bucket list to come to Gettysburg. We made this trip into a long weekend with Family, and made wonderful memories. Christina made staying at her beautiful, historical home wonderful from start to finish. It is walking distance to Downtown for great shopping, restaurants, and entertainment. The property is clean, with wonderful history and Christina was prompt with getting back to us with answers to questions, along with address's if needed. The check in and out process was straightforward. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone that would like to match the history of Gettysburg to where they’re staying.

Vintage charm in the heart of Gettysburg

This beautifully restored 19th century home is in an ideal location for sampling all that Gettysburg has to offer. 4 large bedrooms and 3 well appointed full baths provided plenty of space. The two front bedrooms face a relatively busy street but street noise was not a problem. The kitchen was clean and bright and the living areas were guite comfortable. Parking for 3 mid-sized cars was a little tight but adequate. The inside stairway was narrow and a bit steep and did not have railings, so climbing or descending the stairs was a little treacherous. That was the only negative that i encountered. The location was ideal and the house was clean and very comfortable. Check in was easy and the hosts were super responsive.

College graduation weekend

7 of us stayed on this property for college graduation weekend. Great location, close to everything downtown and the college. We walked everywhere. The house has a historical feel which we enjoyed being in Gettysburg. The house has a beautiful back yard and we especially enjoyed sitting on the upper deck drinking coffee in the mornings. It was easy to get in touch with Christina and she answered all our questions. We would stay here again.

Family time together

This property is so lovely and so is the owner of the home. Everything is taken care of with lots of thoughtfulness to the details of everything that we would need. The location of the home is within walking distance of museums, stores as well as restaurants. My family stayed there for three days and we had plenty of room and found the home very welcoming and comfortable. Thank you so much for an amazing experience. We look forward to meeting there again!

Lovely Stay Right Near Downtown Gettysburg

My family and I enjoyed our Thanksgiving stay! With 4 rooms, 3 bathrooms, and 2 floors, there was plenty of room for us all to hang out and have our own space. We were able to have multiple cooks using the kitchen to make Thanksgiving dinner for a family of 8 adults. And we enjoyed the dining/living room area for family game night. The bedrooms were comfortable and we enjoyed the historic feel mixed with comfort of the house. And we had no issues fitting our three vehicles in the parking behind the house. Check in and check out were easy and Christina provided great info and quick answers. The home's location is very walkable to both downtown and to some parts of the battlefield area, so it is perfectly situated!

Revisiting Gettysburg

The property, with bedrooms and baths for three couples, suited us very well. The living space allowed us to gather together. The kitchen and appliances functioned very well. The location is perfect for walking the town. Offstreet parking allowed us to park the cars and leave them. We walked to restaurants and shops. Although we didn’t need her once we arrived, our host was responsive to our questions and available during our stay.

Fantastic property

The property was fantastic for our needs. We had our family of 5, 2 adults and 3 kids, and my parents staying together. The separate bedroom on the first floor and 3 others on the second floor were both spacious and beautiful.The location was very well the best part, close enough to the square to stroll around enjoy all Gettysburg has to offer but far enough to avoid the crouching when we wanted. Christina was a fantastic host and answered all my questions fully and in a timely manner. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
