Perfect Location: Historic Downtown Guesthouse

NO ORDINARY ADDRESS

Built in the 1840's and newly renovated, this 2-level, 4-bedroom Italianate-style townhome apartment reflects the Federal majesty of the mid-1800's, and the individualistic expressions of post-Civil war Gettysburg. Street-facing windows on the main level are accentuated with stained glass, creating a feel-good rainbow effect in the common area parlor and dining room.

Bedrooms on the first and second level pay tribute to the owners' family heritage. Take your pick from the Charles, Chastang, Earley or Hughes bedrooms. Like the people whose names they bear, each room has its own personality and ambiance.
A major upgrade is the amazing chandelier-adorned spa bath that lets you know this is no ordinary Gettysburg address... This is The LaVerne Guesthouse.

Located one-half block from Lincoln Square and three doors down from the historic Wills House, The LaVerne is within walking distance to dining, antiquing, shopping, and the theater. This guesthouse is appointed with all the basics you need to feel at home, including kitchenware, towels, linens and paper products.

The property will be cleaned and ready for your arrival; however, there is no daily housekeeping service. Therefore, we respectfully request that you maintain the home in a neat and orderly fashion, wash any dishes used in the kitchen and spot clean when necessary.

This is our second home in Gettysburg. We welcome only guests who are willing to respect our property as if it is their own. This is why we will rent only to families or couples. Please do not inquire if you intend to use our home as a “party pad.” We have a property manager who will respond immediately if you ever need assistance during your stay.

LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION

Your stay at The LaVerne Guesthouse puts you in the heart of everything Gettysburg is known for. Whether it's sightseeing, nightlife, performing or cultural arts, cinema, vintage or contemporary shopping, fine dining or artsy coffee houses...You can walk there from here!

Leave your car in your private parking space and take a walking tour of the pre and post-Civil War era architectural styles in the Gettysburg Historic District. And don't forget to check the schedule for nightly performances or frequent art shows right in the neighborhood. Or, catch the bus for a short ride to the battlefields and visit the Civil War Museum.

If you do decide to take a drive, visit the nearby Gettysburg Outlet Stores...or tour one of the close-by wineries. Whatever your itinerary, your stay will be in the perfect location. The LaVerne Guesthouse... a home of historic distinction.

Enjoyed our Stay!

Our first time in Gettysburg and we wanted to be in a perfect location and this was it for sure. We walked to shops and restaurants and explored everything we could. If we had to drive, it was easy to get in and out of the parking lot. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely home

Great central location. Perfect for 6 college friends to spend a few days catching up (we’ve known each other 40 years). We spent a lot of time relaxing in the living room and playing board games around the dining room table. We didn’t realize that there were a lot of stairs getting up to the home as well as inside. Fortunately not an issue (knees & hips at our age), but something to consider. The host was wonderfully responsive to any questions.

Great location and nice amenities

Two families of 4 stayed in this space. It was perfect for our group. The kids could hang in the bedrooms or played board games in the dining room while the adult chatted in the living room. The first floor bathroom is small, but the second floor bathroom is enormous. The beds were all very comfortable with nice sheets, pillows and bedding.

Great Place

Perfect location. Right on circle. House was clean and ready for us at check-in. Newly renovated bathroom upstairs. As mentioned on property details, there are only 2 parking spots. We had 3 cars, so had to use parking garage across the street. It's not an inconvenience though. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Stay!

The Laverne House never disappoints! This was our third time staying here, and it is just as wonderful as the first time. Everything is clean and comfortable, the owners are very nice and easy to get in touch with, there are so many things to do within walking distance, and they added a Keurig since the last time we stayed! When we end up back on Gettysburg, we will definitely try to stay here again!

Worth Renting

All and all, good place and great location. Everything’s close, and the unassuming Chinese place next door was surprisingly very good. Only recommendation would be a jet pump so there’s more water pressure in master shower. And improve quality of tv/cable provider. Good idea for only 1 tv in living room, signal interruptions, not ideal.
