About this place

#1 Vacation Rental 2021–2026 & Airbnb Top 1%! Historic Gettysburg cottage across from Marsh Creek with creek views, kids’ nook & private backyard.

THE SPACE;

* Peaceful, private retreat just outside Gettysburg
* Creek directly across the road (natural sound + scenery)

* Hammock for slow mornings and afternoon naps
* Backyard patio with chiminea for evening ambiance
* Cozy kids nook under the stairs (great for families)

🏡 The Home

Step inside and you’ll find a warm, relaxed space designed for comfort and simplicity after a day exploring Gettysburg or enjoying the countryside.

Living Area

The main living space is cozy and inviting, perfect for winding down after sightseeing or spending a quiet night in. Natural light, comfortable seating, and a relaxed layout make it easy to settle in and feel at home.

Kitchen & Dining

A fully equipped kitchen allows you to cook meals during your stay, whether it’s a quick breakfast before heading out or a slow dinner at the cottage. The dining area is set up for easy group meals and conversation.

2 Queen Beds, 1 Full Size



🌿 Outdoor Space

The outdoors is where this property really shines.

Step out back to a private yard where you can relax, unwind, and enjoy the slower pace of country life. A hammock invites afternoon naps and quiet reading, while the patio provides a shaded place to sit with coffee or wine.

In the evenings, turn on the string lights and light the chiminea. These amenities create a cozy atmosphere for conversation and relaxation under the stars. Just across the road, Marsh Creek adds natural beauty and a calming backdrop to your stay. You will spot (and hear) sheep nearby, adding to the charm of the rural setting.



📍 Location

You’ll enjoy the best of both worlds—peaceful, quiet surroundings while still being just minutes from Gettysburg’s historic attractions, restaurants, and shops.

It’s an easy drive to the battlefield, yet far enough away to feel like a true escape from the crowds.

My husband and I are huge history buffs and love walking the Gettysburg battlefield. When the opportunity to purchase the cottage came about we jumped on it. Now we have a place to retreat to in a town which is special to us.

Getting around

Our cottage has a narrow driveway on the left side of the home that can accommodate two vehicles. We regularly park an SUV and pickup truck there, so most guests find it works well for their needs.

If you need additional parking space, you are welcome to park across the street in the grass.

Please do not park beyond the top of the driveway on the grass or sidewalk. Our septic holding tank is located in the backyard and cannot support the weight of a vehicle.
