About this property

The School House of Gettysburg, rural setting close to main attractions

Our School House is located just 6 miles from the square in Gettysburg, and even less to Devils Den, Big Round top, the Visitors Center and the Outlet Shoppes of Gettysburg. Just 3 miles from Rt. 15 makes getting here very simple. The school house was once an Amish school house but has been renovated to include all the comforts of home. Completely surrounded by farm land, you can be sure to enjoy peaceful and quiet evenings.

Nice place to stay close to the battlefield, etc.

The schoolhouse was a clean and lovely spot. We found everything as described, and we enjoyed our stay there. It's just right for a small group to be close to the battlefield, museum, etc. We would stay here again!

Perfect Stay in Gettysburg

First time visiting Gettysburg with my son, home from law school and a history buff. The schoolhouse was an authentic touch to this historic visit. Property owners were very welcoming; check in was easy, and the house was comfortable, immaculate and every amenity thought of. Close to the National Park and Battlefields, and the town of Gettysburg. Just perfect.

Sweet Little Schoolhouse

This lovely cottage is about 6 miles from Gettysburg in a country setting. Very comfortably furnished, we were able to relax after full days of sightseeing. We certainly had everything we needed and would gladly visit again!

Another great stay

This is our go to place to stay when in Gettysburg. It’s well maintained and clean. This little place has everything you need for a comfortable stay and is close to all the attractions but far enough away for peaceful, quiet nights.

Perfect place to spend our anniversary!

This house was amazing! Everything was perfect, check in was a breeze, and the owners were very nice. We ended up getting in late and they left some lights on for us which was awesome. I would definitetly come here again and recommend others to stay here as well.

Nice stay near Gettysburg

This was our second time staying here. It’s a peaceful location outside of town, very quiet. There is room for some improvement. The refrigerator and shower curtain need cleaned and the flower beds are neglected. One toilet has a broken handle, so we didn’t use it. Check in day I asked if we could come about 30 minutes early, I didn’t get a reply. All said, I’d stay again.

We had a great stay at the Schoolhouse. Ryan and his family were very accommodating in helping us do an early check in. The schoolhouse was perfect for my husband and I. Close location to hiking, monuments, downtown and tours.

Nice place

Hosts were quick to respond to any questions I had.House was nice but could use a good once over cleaning for cobwebs. Many in the corners and on objects in the house. I killed five spiders during our stay. The toilet handle in the half bath was broken which made it very difficult to flush as part of it was missing. Overall, a nice place that is close to everything but away from the busy downtown. The suggestions for places to eat and shop were also a nice addition! I would add the Lincoln Dinner as a very good place to eat also!Im confident the things I mentioned above will be taken care of by the hosts and overall we had a nice stay!
