The Gettysburg Retreat is a Pre-Civil War 2 story Gable front house. Built in 1853 it was originally owned by William Steinhour. Steinhour owned the house until 1859, then sold to Henry and Mary Zeigler in 1860, then repurchased by William Steinhour in 1864. It was later bought in 1868 by William Z. Little and then sold in 1872 to James Caldwell. The house was later passed down to Little's heir in 1873. One thing interesting about the house, is in the first 2 blocks of West Middle Street. You will find several Civil War houses towards downtown Gettysburg, but as you reach The Gettysburg Retreat, the house beside it was the last house in town until you get to Seminary Ridge during the Civil War. The land Gettysburg was founded on was originally owned by William Penn. Penn would later sell the land to town founder James Getty. The Gettysburg Retreat was the 127th lot of land allocated to Getty in the exchange.

We enjoyed our stay at the Gettysburg Retreat House. The place was nicely decorated, clean and a great location. We were two blocks from the square, easy walking distance to shopping and dining. If you decide to eat in, there is Keenie's Market across the street. Our host, Sandee was very accommodating and there is everything that one would need at the Gettysburg Retreat House to enjoy a long weekend or an extended stay. I highly recommend the Gettysburg Retreat House and our wonderful host Sandee. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us. Roger J Marucci

We visited our favorite place to celebrate 2 milestone birthdays in our family. We rented the Gettysburg Retreat and so happy we did. The home is lovely and very accommodating. The decor is perfect! Close to restaurants and attractions. We were able to walk to most places! I'm sad to say that we did not see or hear any ghosts at the property.. we'll definitely stay again, when we return to Gettysburg. Thank you, Sandee!!

Really enjoyed the house. Was perfect for the four of us to relax after riding our motorcycles from western NY. Everything we needed was there. What a great house to stay in. It was located in a perfect area with plenty of places to eat and shop very close and also a short walk to check out the battlefields and cemetery. Wish we could of stayed longer to see more but our time was limited. Would recomend this house to everyone!!

We had such a great time. We really enjoyed going through all of the old books and reading about all of the messages past guests wrote about. Sandee and Pat are terrific hosts. We met Sandee and she even took the time to tell us about the house and “guests” who love the house as much as we did. There is so much to explore and plenty of room for family to be together. We can’t wait to go back and stay at the Gettysburg Retreat!
