Retreat to the Stratton House-Unique Historic District Home-Backs to Culp's Hill

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.

We are only 10 miles from Ski Liberty for winter travelers who would like to ski or snow tube. We are only 50 miles from Lancaster Dutch Country, 50 miles to Hershey Park, 65 miles to Washington, DC; 60 miles to Baltimore, 54 miles BWI Airport and 62 miles to Dulles Airport.

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. There is another vacation rental unit on the North side of the house that is completely separate from this unit with a separate privacy fenced yard. The owners live in a third unit on the property that is also fully separate from your rental. One parking space is available for your use. If you need another parking space during your stay, please let us know before you arrive and we may be able to accommodate your request.

This is a very quiet church and residential neighborhood. We ask that you not hold parties, or make loud outside noise after 9 PM. Also, we request that there is no loud noise or music inside the residence after 10 PM. These rules are in place for the comfort and security of all guests who visit us.

Perfect location
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!

Perfect for a couples visit to Gettysburg
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!

Wonderful Time!
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!

Sound
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.

A memorable weekend
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!

A fantastic trip
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.
