We enjoyed the property. We found it very interesting and historic.Plenty of space for our group everyone had their own room. It’s a good starting point to see downtown Gettysburg and to go through the battlefield. We even had a dog in our group enjoyed playing in the yard and being able to wander the house. My family enjoys seeing new places and the adventures it brings, and this house did not disappoint.

Long-time friends visit the Lodge

Five friends who have traveled together for 50 years visited Gettysburg for the first time. This lodge/cottage was perfect for our gathering. Its history and appearance inside made it interesting, and it was also comfortable for our visit and sleeping overnight. We were surprised at the exterior and almost thought we had not found the correct place. But we had. It was well furnished for comfort, and the host was excellent in communicating with us and telling us about the history of the buildings.

Fun stay in Gettysburg!

This historic property was well located and provided plenty of space for us both inside and out. The bedroom and full bath on the first floor was really helpful for one member of our group who has mobility issues. The yard was a perfect place to walk our dogs. Daniel responded quickly to any questions or help that we needed. The kitchen is underequipped if you plan to cook meals there so I would bring cookware and a tea kettle when we return or partake of the many excellent restaurants in the area.

Tip in history

Although we did not experience any paranormal activity that stood out, our trip was very interesting. We loved the books and journals that were there to read and the property was outstanding. The host was prompt with all of our questions and very professional.

30th Birthday Trip

We had such a fun trip! Historic Rainworth Lodge was a cozy and convenient spot to rest after exploring the town and battlefields. Daniel was so accommodating and responded immediately to any questions we had. We enjoyed our time in the house and felt very comfortable. It was interesting to learn about the history of the place as well!

Spooky yet beautiful

This place is absolutely amazing to stay at! There's a lot of history with the house along with history of the town itself. For the price, you get a lot of privacy while still being close to town to experience all that Gettysburg has to offer! Daniel is a great host and makes getting to the property and being settled in a breeze. We look forward to returning next fall!

Very cool historic building to get the whole Gettysburg experience. The hotel on the outside isn’t much to look at due to overgrown plants, surrounding property getting cleared and outside structure needs renovated. The interior is really nice but some of the floors are really uneven yet can’t expect perfect with a house built in the late 1700s lol. Overall, I’d recommend it and would stay here again!

Beautiful historic house

The outside is a little rough around the edges but the inside is gorgeous. Very reasonable price to be able stay in such a large, clean, well appointed and historic home. I plan on going back. Really close to Gettysburg, just outside town. Mattresses were great, slept like a baby.
