Adorable cabin

The cabin was great and easily accessible to everywhere we were staying. My husband loved the build of the cabin and the view of the fireflies across the field was memorizing.

Location was great and the cabin was beautiful! There were some dirty dishes left in the cupboard (presumably from previous guests), and the downstairs toilet hadn’t been cleaned. The kayaks were dirty and in disarray, and the hose didn’t work so we couldn’t even hose them down ourselves to use them. However, the scenic location and comfortable coziness of the cabin more than made up for these shortfalls.

Great get away home

We stayed 4 night at this cozy cottage, my Partner and our 3 boys. 18, 13 and 13 with our husky mix dog Jynx. The house was quiet, our master bed was comfy. The boys said their room was tight, but nice. The creek had lots of fish and great views. Close to historical Gettysburg it was perfect for a quick family trip.

A gorgeous waterfront log cabin on a lovely river

Brenda's cabin on the river was the perfect place for us to get away from it all. It was a great home base for exploring Gettysburg, but also a beautiful peaceful getaway - we enjoyed ending our days with a glass of wine on the river-front deck, listening to the quiet and the birds. The cabin had all the modern conveniences to keep us perfectly comfortable, yet all the historic charm of an authentic log cabin. Many thanks to Brenda for being a fantastic hostess - she was very responsive and attended to every detail!

Trout fishing

We had a blast fishing out back and Caledonia. The place was cozy and easy to find. The trash collection was confusing so maybe rewrite it on instruction page. I loved my king bed and the 2 kids loved the bunk beds.

Nice cabin close to historical places

Cons: The reason I dropped a star, it said 3 bedrooms. The downstairs "bedroom" was a pullout sofa in one of the living spaces-the one with the TV. This was also the entrance to the deck. There wasn't a dresser for our clothes. I don't consider it a bedroom. This wasn't a deal breaker. We made it work but I think people should be aware.We had 7 people. To eat we had to sit at 2 tables in adjoining rooms ( a table in each room) . Again, not ideal but we made it work.Very minor, the beds were not made. This is the first-time I've had to make my bed when I arrived at a VRBO.Pros:Clean, and i am picky. No complaints on cleanliness. Most of the cabin has been remodeled. Modern appliances including a small dishwasher. Located close to many historical locations. Quiet. Space between neighbors. Grocery and restaurants near-by. Communication with the hostess was great.Overall:I would stay there again and would recommend you give it a try.

This is a GREAT place to stay!

My wife, teenaged step-son, his friend, and I stayed at the cabin for 3 nights. This is a very well kept building stocked with just about everything you need for and enjoyable trip. We were visiti Gettysburg (about 25 minutes away) and could not have found a better place to stay.

Gettysburg visits and outdoor activities

The house was as advertised. Gettysburg was a short 25 minutes away for our several visits ( two tours of the battle fields and two ghost tours) we did some fishing and played a round of golf all very close to the property. Brenda was very friendly and responsive to our questions Thank you very much for allowing us to enjoy our visit. Would highly recommend if looking for a family friendly visit to the Gettysburg area.
