Perfect location and beautiful home

This house was absolutely beautiful. It is extremely clean and comfortable. It is perfectly located so that you can walk to just about every attraction. Also surprisingly quiet. We had upstairs neighbors and nightly concerts right up the street, but from inside we never heard a peep! It was absolutely wonderful!

Exactly what you want for an historic stay

Property is ideally located. Plenty of shops and restaurants a short walk away. The main Gettysburg historic park is a close bike ride away. The privacy fence for the back yard provides a great place to put bicycles without fear of them disappearing. The space itself is large for a 2 bedroom and also has a large dining room table which was perfect for our large board gaming.

Historic place and great location

This place was in a great location. Could walk to most places in town that we wanted to. Very spacious for my family of 4. The pics don't do it justice as far as the space. Loves the hardwood floors and built in cabinets. It was very clean also.

We had a great stay in this beautiful Civil War house. A perfect location and short walk for just about everything, whether it's in town or on the battlefield. The house itself is comfortable, super clean, and full of history, and the stay really couldn't have been better. Highly recommended, thanks so much!

Clean, Comfortable, Great Location!

This property was larger than expected, and super clean. It was by far the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed in. The beds are comfortable. The living room and dining room area are very spacious. The location is perfect. We walked pretty much everywhere, except for our tour of the battlefields. There are lots of shops and great dining options all within walking distance. The owner has a binder full of options/suggestions for eating and touring. This was so helpful because we always want to know the locations the locals frequent. We tried many of the suggestions and all were fabulous! This will be our first option when we come back to the area!

Gettysburg

It was exciting to stay at the Stahle house! We enjoyed the beauty of the home and it was immaculately clean. We had no issues or surprises. The only thing is that the listing showed there was a pull out bed and sleeps 6, which ended up only being 2 beds and slept 4. Some of our family had to stay elsewhere, but it was big enough to enjoy a family dinner together. We really enjoyed our time in the home Thank you so much!

Great Centrally Located Home

We had a great experience renting from Tessa. The home was historic, charming, and clean. We were able to have additional family rent out the upstairs unit so we essentially had the whole home to ourselves. The house was within walking distance to shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful time walking around exploring the area. We’d love to book again and highly recommend this rental.

Perfect Location

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was original to the Civil War and was decorated as such. There was plenty of space for just my husband and myself although there was another bedroom. I think it would have gotten dicey with 4 people sharing one bathroom but would have made it work. Great location right in the heart of Gettysburg. Had fun walking around town if not too exhausted after exploring the battlefields all day. Tessa was very responsive when I could not find the blender, she ran one right over 20 minutes later. Very comfortable in the house. Overall, great experience and would recommend to others.
