Voted #1 rental in ‘21, ‘22, ‘23, ‘24 and 2025. Blue Coat Cottage is nestled among the fields of historic Gettysburg and sits between 2 picturesque farms directly across the street from Marsh Creek. We offer the perfect blend of proximity to the famous battlefield and peaceful country living. Being just 8 miles from Ski Liberty makes the cottage a great winter getaway. This charming home sleeps 6 making it perfect for families and friends. We have everything you need for a comfortable & memorable stay!The entire cottage and property are yours to enjoy while staying at Blue Coat Cottage in Gettysburg. Whether you’re relaxing inside or outdoors on the patio we hope you find it restful and peaceful. When the weather cooperates put your feet up in the hammock and watch the sheep graze nearby, the blue heron land in Marsh Creek, deer and fox frolicking in the surrounding fields, and the birds singing in the trees. We are sticklers for cleanliness. All of our beds and pillows have protective covers, as well as the mattresses, and our bedding is completely changed after each guest (including comforters). Every high touch area is cleaned and sanitized between guests with disinfectant.3 Bedrooms - Cozy Earth bamboo sheets and cotton sheets by Threshold.Unleash your inner homesteader - the cottage and backyard are all yours to enjoy during your stay.

No need to worry about lost keys, as each guest is provided with a unique code to access our lock pad.We are minutes from the battlefield and 8 miles from Ski Liberty. The cottage sits across from Marsh Creek (the very creek Gen. Robert E. Lee and his fighting forces retreated over in 1863) and between 2 picturesque farms so if peace, quiet and some nature are in order, you’ll love Blue Coat Cottage!We have a small sloped driveway to the left of the cottage large enough for 2 vehicles. We regularly park an SUV and pickup truck in the driveway. Should you need more room you are welcome to park across the street in the grass, but please note that property does not belong to us.This 114-year-old home, situated between two farms and surrounded by fields, with a view of the creek where General Robert E. Lee and his forces retreated on July 4, 1863, has low ceilings. Tall individuals should exercise caution when navigating the stairwell landing. Due to its rural location, insects may occasionally make their way inside, particularly if the back door is left open for extended periods. While regular pest control measures are in place, the longer the back door is open, the greater the likelihood of insects entering the cottage.

Owner

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.
