Would have been 5 star if we didn't have to wait a half hour to get into the house, owner telling me they sent info but did not and responding to me in a not so professional way. My son was with us and he is a guidance system programmer and assured me that it was on the owners end otherwise it would have been great.

We stayed at Stratton House for a three day weekend in the end of September. It was a perfect location to see the sights of Gettysburg. The house was in excellent condition and had everything we needed to make for a wonderful weekend.

Seven adults stayed two nights. The location was phenomenal. Most of the attractions and historical restaurants are within walking distance. The house was clean and roomy. We all loved reading the news articles about the house. The articles were in frames on the walls. The owners left fresh eggs and beans for coffee. Everything was delicious. Bathrooms were spotless and decor was so quaint. We will definitely consider this rental when we visit again.

Our family gets together every year in various cities and this is the nicest place we have stayed. The house is very close to the battlefield and downtown. The living room could use a few more adult sized chairs but everything else was very comfortable. Definitely recommend!

I don't often say this but this property is truly exceptional. The house was immaculate, kitchen had everything you'd need to cook with plus a complimentary bottle of wine, snacks, and coffee. The back yard was beautifully kept, had a complete fence, and was generally huge. Loved spending time there with our dog in the morning and in the late evening. Beds were super comfy and showers were great. The location was perfect, just perfect. We could walk all around down town Gettysburg as this was just a few walking minutes away from the house. The property, though, is located on a quiet side street and you'd never know you were near downtown! Owners were very communicative, checking we got in ok and didn't have any problems. Very responsive. For all these reasons, I would not hesitate to recommend this property to others. We had a really great time and didn't have to worry about anything to do with our accommodation. It was wonderful.

The location of this property is perfect. It's few minutes walk from the Culp's Hill national park, various tourist attractions, and the center of Gettysburg. Yet the place is generally very quiet. There are public tennis and basketball courts, right behind the property. The house itself is clear and spacious. the kitchen is great. I cooked all the meals there and I was very easy. I also used the grill which worked perfectly well. The host were very accommodating. When I asked them for few items they brought dropped them off the very next morning. The house also has tons of games as well all kinds of premium channels, which was great as well. Overall, I very much enjoyed the stay and would love to come back there sometime.

Wonderful Home, Perfect Location
We had a great stay in Gettysburg! The home was exactly as advertised. Clean and comfortable, great fenced in yard for the dog, and walking distance to most things. Quiet location in a neighborhood but just a block or so from the main streets and the circle in downtown.
Easy communication with the owners, no issues with access to the property, parking, etc.
Would definitely stay again, and highly recommend!!

This was our first VRBO experience & it was spectacular!
Our hosts, Paul and Lisa, are truly outstanding! They have a lovely, well-maintained, conveniently-located home and they made us feel very welcome at every turn. We arrived to fresh eggs in our fridge, a bottle of local wine, and home-roasted coffee. They provided snacks and top-shelf toileteries. They live next door and were very helpful regarding local restaurants, sights, etc. They set a high bar as our first stop in a three-week road trip. We'll be back!

We didn’t want to leave!
This place checked all the boxes for us as a family. It was historical and information tied into parts of the whole Gettysburg experience. It was spacious, had all the right touches, the yard was enjoyed by my kids and dog, close enough to walk downtown and conveniently located in relation to the historical sites. We would definitely recommend this to family and friends.
