About this house rental
Superior location in downtown Gettysburg historic district. Located on a quiet street two blocks from Lincoln Square, you can watch the sunset over the battlefield from the back of this historic property. We offer private off-street parking for your car.
This house was built by Gettysburg town physician Dr. J.W.C. O'Neill, who had an extensive history during the battle. It was later used a photography studio by renowned Civil War battlefield photographer WIlliam H. Tipton.
The house is two blocks from downtown shops, restaurants, ghost and walking tours and events in the historic district. Half a mile to Gettysburg College and a mile and a half to the Gettysburg Museum and Visitor's Center.
When you are done exploring, let the Stratton House take care of you! Unique features include central air conditioning, high speed wireless internet, and a cable package featuring 150 Comcast stations and streaming capabilities. There is a large TV in the living room which also features a modern double reclining loveseat.
We provide comfortable bedding, extra pillows and plenty of towels. Enjoy meals prepared in the fully equipped kitchen. The fenced courtyard provides a seating area and gas grill.
If you are traveling with a baby or toddler, we can provide a Pac 'n Play and a high chair if needed.

You will have private access to the South side of the Stratton House, which has a living room, bedroom, dining area, full accessible bathroom and kitchen.

The check in and check out directions were very clear and easy to follow. The location was perfect for us and the property was clean, properly maintained, and just lovely. The interior was clean, the furnishings were very comfortable, and I loved the decor. We had everything we needed and they even provided fresh eggs, home roasted coffee beans, and candy. We also appreciated the “instruction” book for the property left on the desk. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

We enjoyed our stay at the Stratton House South. The apartment was very clean and the air conditioning worked well. Met the owners on the way in and they were very nice. Close to Baltimore St and Lincoln Square.
Hope to stay here again in the future.

This is a great property right in the heart of Gettysburg. Perfect for a long weekend. Very convenient to the battlefield and within walking distance of downtown. While it's an older home, it is very well maintained and nicely furnished. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the evening after walking back form dinner. Would definitely recommend.

We were quite comfortable in the apartment, and the location was perfect— walkable to all of downtown, and 15 minutes from the Hauser Hill event center.
And Paul & Lisa’s specially roasted coffee was a great way to start the day!
5.0 / 5.0
The property was charming, historic, clean and well equipped. We had a great time in Gettysburg and this flat was great. 1.5 blocks from downtown, easy walk. Many restaurants and shops. We did not eat in the same restaurant twice and we walked to them all. Great variety and great food.
The flat was well equipped (we especially loved the home roasted coffee beans and maker with grinder built in). The bed was very comfortable as was the couch in the living room. Umbrellas were appreciated as it did rain a couple of times. Bathroom and large shower were also very nice. We also grilled on patio a couple of evenings for dinner.
Quite honestly all was great. Hosts were also very accommodating! Thank you for a great week!

Everything was exactly as listed, and we were very happy with our stay. Even had the bonus of petting George and Fred, the two horses pulling the holiday carriage!

The only complaint we have is that the private residence on the property was a bit loud. We could hear them coming and going and in the mornings as well.

We love Gettysburg and stay in a different place each visit, just to see how the experience changes. This apartment was ideally located - close to downtown, but quiet and peaceful. It was the perfect size for two and we had everything we needed. I kid you not, I considered making my Christmas cookie dough in the kitchen! It was that well supplied! The owners were responsive. Just a great visit. We will be there again!

We absolutely loved our stay in Gettysburg and this location was the perfect place to rest our heads. Amazing location within waking distance to everything. Comfortable and extensive amenities! I loved learning the history too with the displays around the house.

I attended Mid-Appalachian Quilt classes at Gettysburg College, my Husband spent his free time walking and sightseeing! The Stratten House was everything it was written up to be, and more! Very close to great shops, landmarks, and all that Gettysbrug has to offer. Comfy "love seat" motorized to lay back, relax, put your feet up, and watch old movies after a long day! The hosts were wonderful, and left lots of niceties and goodies we could snack on. We'll leave out the details so you'll be surprised when you stay. Highly recommended. We will stay again!

We would have greatly appreciated if cooking oil and a few spices would be available. They did provide fresh egg, but without the additional cooking amenities we could not take advantage.
5.0 / 5.0
Our space was perfect for 2. We could walk anywhere in town in 10 minutes. The National Cemetery and the Monuments were a 5 minute drive. The tours was fascinating. The history of this small town was over the top. If you like history Gettysburg is full of interesting stories. We would stay here and visit Gettysburg again for sure. We did drive to Philadelphia one day and that was not fun at all.

It was fabulous. Cozy, comfortable, and relaxing. Would rent again when coming to Gettysburg. If you could provide cream for the coffee that would be great.

Our stay was great. The apartment was the perfect size for a couple. Kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, dishes, mixer, toaster etc... Bathroom had all toiletries you could need. Place was clean and quiet. 1 block from the Main Street and easily walkable to many restaurants and stores. Owners were very responsive when communicated to. They even left us a few goodies including their own blend of coffee beans ! If we ever go back to Gettysburg we would definitely stay here!

Everything about the place, and the owners, was top notch. We had a breaker trip - they contacted me within five minutes to fix it. They shared stories about the place. The place itself had so many great little touches. It was perfectly located. Five minute walk from the square and the battlefield… just depended on which direction you wanted to walk. You won’t regret staying here. So lucky to have found it.

My wife and I spent three nights in this cozy one bedroom “apartment” in an historic house. It was easy to find and located on a quiet street within walking distance of things to do and places to eat. Lisa and Paul provided many amenities such as their own roasted coffee beans, a bottle of wine, eggs in the refrigerator, books on Gettysburg’s history, and games, and puzzles. We would stay here again, definitely.
