Charming place to stay near Gettysburg

Stayed here on a recent visit to Gettysburg, traveling with our 10 year old granddaughter and our dog. There were so many nice touches and amenities, and the beds were very comfortable. Communicating with the owner was easy, and the owner went out of their way to be helpful and accomodating. We were pleasantly surprised at how well-stocked the kitchen was, and impressed with the collection of games and pet items. Great stay!

Great use of space and old wood in what appears to have once been a restaurant. Loved the open mess and the use of the old wood on walls and floor. Quiet and relaxing place to meet with family. Comfortable sleeping

The rustic old farmhouse feel of the place was cozy and took you back in time. We were only minutes from Gettysburg so we were able to escape to the country for quiet evenings around the fire pit.

Loved the General’s Hideaway

My BIL and I used this property as our base for exploring the town of Gettysburg and the Battlefield. When we were home it was very spacious. There was enough room for both of us to have some alone time. The property is close to the road, so on a couple of occasions we could hear the traffic. Not an issue at night because we were so tired.

Nice stay near Gettysburg.

We rented the house for our one night stay in Gettysburg. The house was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting outside at the table and then playing pool in the evening. I would definitely stay again if I was in the area.

Great place to stay while visiting Gettysburg

The General's Hideaway is near enough to be handy to Gettysburg yet far enough away to be private and served by Uber Eats. Our hostess was wonderfull. The cottage was extremely clean and well appointed with everything you need. Just bring your cloths and food. You dont need anything else. Even your pets are greeted with treets and toys.We will be back.

Cute Gettysburg Country House!!

Very cute place, we had fun playing a game of pool too. The owners even provided a book which included things to do around the area, places to eat, wineries to visit and fun tours to go on. The owners are very detail oriented and we had everything provided for us that we needed during our stay. I would highly recommend staying here!!

review of General's Hideway

We enjoyed our stay at General's Hideway. Everything we needed was there and the property was perfect for our pet. We also appreciated the way you organized the restaurants in your information book making it very easy to find everything and there were plenty of hooks in the bathroom. I think the biggest draw for us was the closeness to the Gettysburg battlefield which was extremely convenient. Thank you for being so thoughtful for your guests.

Gettysburg Address

We booked our stay on short notice and were very happy with this rental. It was spotless, nicely decorated, and had a big yard for us to walk our dog in. The owners also provided us with a dog crate so we didn’t have to bring our own. We enjoyed the weekend in Gettysburg and were surprised to discover that we were visiting on the anniversary of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Naturally, we had to go see the ceremony at the Battlefield. It was great and the people were wonderful.

Relaxing weekend

We had a relaxing weekend at the hideaway . This property is minutes from everything you'd want to visit in Gettysburg. The apple festival was amazing. The round barn was beautiful. We also enjoyed the battlefield tours and ghost hunting. As far as the property, very cozy. And the owners were very accommodating. The traffic was high at times but it is expected for that area. Over all we would rent her again.
