About this apartment rental
The home is a pre-civil war structure with modern conveniences. A witness to Lincoln's procession to the national cemetery where he gave his famous Gettysburg address, it sits in the middle of Gettysburg's historic district. You will have fun exploring the area; the adventurous will enjoy touring the 40 miles of battlefield roads (by bicycle, horseback or vehicle), tour a civil war house, talk to the soldiers in encampments and reenactments, or take a haunted ghost tour by night.
At the end of the day you can relax and enjoy your stay at our newly renovated 1st floor apartment or sit outside on one of the two decks. There are 2 bedrooms (a queen bed in each), and a pull out chair bed with an extra mattress for comfort in the second bedroom. There is 1 bathroom which consists of a tub/shower combo, a fully fitted eat-in kitchen, a TV/sitting room with cable TV, and Wifi. We provide you with towels, linens, handsoap, dish liquid, paper towels, toilet paper, pots and pans, utensils, coffee maker, toaster, iron and board, hair dryer; everything that will make you feel right at home!
You will love the location. We are with-in walking distance to restaurants, museums, the national cemetery where Lincoln gave his address, art galleries, shops, and everything else Gettysburg has to offer. Leave the driving to someone else and hop on the local trolley to see other out of town sites including the new national park service visitor center & museum, and cyclorama. You can take a day trip to surrounding Hershey park (50 miles), Washington DC (60 miles), Lancaster PA Dutch country (45 miles), or skiing about 10 minutes south of town.

We were in Gettysburg to watch our granddaughter play volleyball at the college. Location was great. I thought we would hear a lot of road noise but it was very quiet. Places to eat with in walking distance
Clean and comfortable!
Hosts were very accommodating. Games started at 3 and We were able to check in early.so we didn’t have to rush.
All and all it was a good place to stay.

We had a great stay. It's an old historic home so it doesn't have all the modern conveniences but it is very comfortable, clean, and has many stores and eateries right outside your door. You can easily walk around town and sightsee. The host was very responsive to our needs. We had a good time and will be back.

Civil war era home. Centrally located with easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, national cemetery. Short drive to the civil war visitors center and the national Park. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable. The owner was helpful in giving suggestions for area attractions.

Wonderful place to stay in the heart of Gettysburg. Walk to the many restaurants in the town, step out the back door and there’s Cemetery Ridge and Culp’s Hill. Rod is the perfect host, and the historic house contains everything that could be needed.

I took my husband of 14 wonderful years to see Gettysburg. He is an avid lover of history so I wanted to take him to a place that was ripe with. The apartment was lovely and in its own right a part of the history. The surrounding area was a dream of history and beauty, loss and victory. We were there for 2 days and didn’t see everything. We are both looking forward to going again. And will gladly stay here again.

This rental is exactly as described. It is very clean and comfortable. The beds were great as well. We had our coffee on the deck and enjoyed the morning. We enjoyed that it’s location is within walkable district to shops and some points of interest. Parking on site is another perk. Rod met us at check in and was very helpful. We would definitely stay here again should we return to Gettysburg.

Another Great Trip
Very nice accommodations in an historic house. Great location near battlefields and restaurants and shops. This first floor apartment includes a grassy area plus cozy deck with table. This is our second stay here, and we plan to come back again!

Was sad to leave this place!
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at this lovely place! Super clean, well-stocked, and comfortable. I felt right at home immediately. It was spacious, clean, and well-appointed. The hosts were wonderful and even accommodated scheduling changes. I cannot think of a single complaint! Gettysburg itself is awesome! So much to do and see in a small geographic area. And this place was in a perfect location!! We could walk to everything and there was even a parking space in the back. We had a great time and truly enjoyed staying here!!

College Reunion Weekend
We had a great stay at Rod’s place in downtown Gettysburg. My 3 college friends and I thought the location was perfect to get to town and to campus. Rod has parking spaces in the back so we could leave our cars and walk everywhere. The size of both apartments was perfect. Both apartments were in great condition, too. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed using the umbrella table and chairs on the back deck for catching up with each other over drinks and appetizers!

Awesome Rental
We (Myself, my husband Michael and dear friend Laura) stayed here for a week during GIG (Greyhounds in Gettysburg 2022) and we absolutely loved the place. Perfect location, close walking distance to so many attractions and restaurants and a very comfortable apartment to stay in. We have already booked our stay for next GIG 2023 and would highly recommend this place. Plus being able to bring our greyhounds with us was a added plus. We all had a wonderful time. Rod met us when we arrived and told us alittle about the place and was always there to answer any questions we had. It truly was a Home Away From Home.

Perfect Location
The property is on the main street in Gettysburg making it very easy to access all the things to do in the area. The owner met us as we arrived and gave us many insights into the area. The trip was awesome and I would recommend every American to visit and learn the history of this place.

Best Location
Best property by far we’ve stayed in at historic Gettysburg. Perfect front entrance out to Baltimore St. can get a little noisy at times but back yard gives it that home away from home feel. Rod was great host as he welcomed us in and gave a quick overview of the apartment. Overall A++ and hope to stay again. Truly recommend this property

This was our second time renting the apartment for our trip to Gettysburg. Last year we stayed in the upstairs apartment. The apartment is wonderful. Right on Baltimore street and easy walking to the square and the main streets where the shops and museums and parts of the battle field are. The apartment itself has 2 good size bedrooms, a nice living room and small kitchen. The bathroom is small but perfectly adequate. Outside is a small yard with a very cute deck and some chairs. There is also a washer and dryer on the premises. We will definitely book this apartment again when we visit. It is so much nicer then a hotel. I love having the extra space to relax in during the evening and to take a break. Owners are easy to deal with and will work with you regarding checking in.
