This is a lovely, very clean house with some nice extra touches. Definitely recommend for a stay in a really good location in Gettysburg.For some reason, VRBO is trying to make me rate my experience on a winery in this review, but this house has nothing to do with a winery and we did not visit one.
Wonderful location for touring. We saw Gettysburg, Antietam, and Hershey. Super clean and quiet! Great coffee! Easy walk to historic downtown area for supper and shopping. Grocery stores nearby as well.
The apartment is in walking distance to restaurants and shops in the historic district. The check-in and check-out were simple. Everyone we met in Gettysburg was extremely friendly.
I am thrilled with my stay at Stratton House. Clean, as pictured, spacious, comfortable bed, and the best part - super walkable to downtown! We had a great weekend escape and would definitely stay again if back in Gettysburg.
Perfect for our couples getaway. Loved the historical touches inside the apartment. Great reserved parking spot and walking distance to town. The porch was a great place for morning coffee or evening wine....or the other way around. We don't judge :) We look forward to booking again
We were quite comfortable in the apartment, and the location was perfect— walkable to all of downtown, and 15 minutes from the Hauser Hill event center.
And Paul & Lisa’s specially roasted coffee was a great way to start the day!
Owner was quick to respond when I tripped a circuit. Very nice people with 2 adorable dogs. Great location. Walking distance to downtown. Cute and comfortable and very clean quarters. Thank you Paul and Lisa.
Our stay was great in every way. The house was a beautiful combo of history with mod cons. Everything was so clean including the large fully equipped kitchen to the large tiled bath. Then from the beautiful decor (oh the antiques and history!), large tv and comfy functional loveseat, to the personal touches of ground coffee, eggs, snacks, bathroom essentials, to the great location to town and the battlefield. We plan to stay again!
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Stratton House property. The property was well kept, very clean, and located in close proximity to downtown shops, restaurants, and historic sites. The owners were very responsive to an issue that we had will the WiFi service and got it resolved right away. We would stay here again. Highly recommend!
We absolutely loved our stay in Gettysburg and this location was the perfect place to rest our heads. Amazing location within waking distance to everything. Comfortable and extensive amenities! I loved learning the history too with the displays around the house.
We enjoyed our stay at the Stratton House South. The apartment was very clean and the air conditioning worked well. Met the owners on the way in and they were very nice. Close to Baltimore St and Lincoln Square.
Hope to stay here again in the future.
The property was super clean and comfortable. It had everytime we needed. It was fantastic location to walk to the downtown Gettysburg area! It was close to the National Military Park and museums too! Would stay at this place again if return to Gettysburg. Had nice outdoor space too!
Property was perfect for us. Quiet location. Farm fresh eggs were a nice surprise. Nice that owners are on-site . Lots of personal touches and enough towels. We will stay there again.
Very nice place. Everything we needed.
Cooked our evening meals in the very nice Kitchen.
The owners responded promptly when we had a couple questions.
We enjoyed our long weekend.
We had a lovely stay at Stratton House South. The location is perfect, an easy walk to dining and shops, yet still quiet. The unit is quite comfortable, though a little shy on power outlets by the bed. The historic notes throughout the unit were very interesting. We loved having the side yard for our use, and the provided coffee and eggs were delicious! We would definitely stay here again.
Great property!!! It was everything as advertised. The house was well maintained, very comfortable and decorated nicely. The fresh ground coffee was excellent and the location was within a 10 minute walk to shops and restaurants. Perfect place for 2 and we would stay there again. The hosts Paul and Lisa were very friendly and helpful.
Unit was super clean, coffee was excellent, snacks were great, parks were close, the home was stocked with everything the fresh eggs were delicious. We plan to visit again. Even the weather was great. Many thanks to our hosts.
