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!

My wife and I arrive for a long weekend and were pleasantly when we arrived at the house. It was neat, clean, and perfect for two people. There were no noisy neighbors and although it is located on very busy Baltimore Street, pedestrian and vehicle noise wasn't an issue. Especially pleasing to us was the location! We were able to walk to the food and entertainment of downtown or to the shops and museums of the south end of town. If I could suggest one modest change. Replace the table and chairs in the bed/sitting room with a couple of comfortable chairs to sit and relax. Either way we will be booking this property again. Outstanding is all I can say!

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!

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.

We stayed for Parents weekend. Everything was clean and as documented/described. We had no issues with our stay. Walkable to all the stores and restaurants in the center of town. Walkable to the Battlefield and Museum if you are conditioned to walks;, it’s a short drive.

Gettysburg getaway

Great little property to stay. Close to many attractions, town square, restaurants. Such a fun little town to visit. My only concern way the security of the doors in the rental. Rear outside door lock was busted and inside from the bedroom wasnt real secure. Contacted property manager about the busted lock and no response the whole trip

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

Great little find

Perfect size apartment for the two of us. Big kitchen and huge bathroom. Excellent location all restaurants and shops in walking distance. On site parking. The pictures don’t do this “find” justice. I will definitely be staying there again. Owner was very responsive when us “two old ladies” couldn’t figure out the TV. LOL

Excellent getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our couple of days in Gettysburg. We were in the middle of everything. Easy walk to the Square and to an array of restaurants, bars, ice cream joints. Parking was great and drive to visitors center was a breeze. Yes, road noise was apparent but not that terrible. Would have appreciated a couch or arm chair more than table w chairs but everyone is different.

This was just such a great experience. Last year we stayed down the road in a traditional hotel and it was very nice, but staying closer to the square in a period building was absolutely amazing! We stayed during the 4th of July and it was great to be able to walk to so many stores and dining locations (grocery store and beer store right down the road as well). Parking on site was easy and the first-floor apt was perfect, with great communication from the property owner. As others have mentioned, there is some road noise, but pretty expected I think. And it was neat to hear local tour guides come by and talk outside :-). We love Gettysburg and will definitely look to book here again when we return.

Great Location. Reviews are honest.

Location & Cleanliness were pretty perfect. My wife can be picky on these, and she was raving about both. I read the reviews before booking, and most are pretty accurate. You will hear traffic and people by the bedroom windows all night. TV was able to drown most of it out. TV could be on a pivot mount that could pull out from the fireplace. (Small concern) And the bed is tough. I would hope that this doesn't dissuade you from booking here. It really is great to walk everywhere, & explore everything that the town has to offer. Just do I as I did, and understand the few drawbacks that come along with many benefits.
