Historic Bucher House with central location to Gettysburg and Lancaster Amish

Bucher House is located in downtown Hanover within easy walking distance of numerous restaurants, pubs, and boutique shops. Also, 30 minutes to Gettysburg, and an hour from Baltimore's inner harbor, Lancaster County Amish community, or Hershey PA. Bucher House was built in 1828 and contains many period antiques with modern amenities. Please note: This property is located in downtown Hanover and like many row houses, built very close to the main street through town. While this presents many advantages of being close to downtown activities and attractions, it also has some degree of regular street noise. If you are a rather light sleeper, this property may not be suitable. However, 93% of customer reviews do not find this an issue.

Beautiful place

We had a beautiful stay. The property is in a very convenient location. Walking distance of a few breweries, dinner locations and a nice little breakfast restaurant. We would definitely stay again. The state park right down the road has a big lake with plenty of fishing. Rob the owner was very friendly and helpful.

A Truly Wonderful Home!

I cannot say enough good about this property. It is spacious, sparkling clean & well furnished. The back yard is beautiful & comfortable. Rob is a great host. He answered all our questions & gave us tips about the area. He is honest in his description of the property & location. The area is beautiful with enough history nearby to keep any civil war buff happy! We will stay again if ever in the area.

Relaxing Family Weekend

We enjoyed our 2 night stay during a cousins reunion in Gettysburg. Hanover is a quick drive and having a big home and a nice yard was a nice change from staying at a hotel. We invited our cousins to come visit in the afternoon following a guided tour of the battlefields. Our family enjoyed being in a historic home from the same era.

Hanover Historic Home

We enjoyed our stay at this well maintained historic home. It had a nice side yard with a covered patio and plenty of seats. There was a relaxing fountain going and the kids had fun playing shuffle board. A very nice master bedroom, cozy TV room and very clean bathrooms made us feel at home. The road noise is definitely the only drawback but it is acceptable. Would stay here again if we are back in the area.

Family Stay In Hanover

My family and I had a great time at the Bucher house in Hanover. The house has a lot of room and a great yard which was wonderful for our grandson. The kitchen is amazing so if you are there for an event it is perfect. The owner was extremely helpful and very responsive. I would definitely stay there again.

We loved staying at the Bucher House. The charm and history was wonderful. Rob was great to deal with and always got back right away to any questions I had and Jess was great. She met us at the house and walked us through explaining everything. The yard was very nice. I know the trees and plants would be even more pretty further into spring and summer. Overall we had a great time!

Historic home ideally located!

We traveled from NC to visit family. House was a great place to stay, located equidistant to both places we spent our time. Plenty of space for extended family to hang out. The walled garden is beautiful, particularly at this time of year. The peonies were in bloom and the roses smelled wonderful. Plenty of outdoor seating. We spent the mornings out there having coffee and the evenings having cocktails. Royal Farms close by for fresh coffee and donuts. Linens were great and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. Will definitely stay here again next time we are in Hanover.
