Gettysburg Getaway
We booked this place in New Oxford for Mom's Day Weekend. A great location to Gettysburg. It is about 15 min (straight on Rt 30 W) to the town square in Gettysburg. about 20 min to the Visitor's Center/Battlefields. The house had vintage charm, along with the new addition of kitchen and living area. The kitchen was stocked with any kitchen essentials you need, and due to the giant size of the kitchen, cabinets were labeled. The jetted tub works great! WIFI there was no issue. My data signal was not stellar. There is an abundance of towels/bedsheets. We were even greeted with a dozen fresh made strawberry donuts, with tie dye icing and edible gold accents! YUM! Thank you for an enjoyable stay! Suggestions: a door mat inside the back exterior door, a few more night lights upstairs, purge the fridge/freezer/pantry/coffee cabinets.

Quaint but with everything you need!
House was a great mix of new and old. Felt very comfortable the entire time. Nice to be able to have room for a family of 5 with two large dogs. Taking home some design ideas!

Good but terrible wifi
Overall we enjoyed our stay. However it is clearly not a 5 star placement. The wifi is nearly non-existent. In fact, it was so frustrating that I started using my phone as a hot spot. Contrary to the advertisement, there is no smart tv anywhere on premises. There is a flat screen but not a smart tv. There were no jacks for a Firestick, ROKU etc. Nor was mirroring an option with our iPad. Therefore, we could not stream anything on any TVs even with poor Wi-Fi. We survived the week by using my iPad and hotspot phone. This is not the place to go if you think you can bring your computer and get some work done. Finally, the cleaning lady was very sweet and accommodating. However, there appears to be no one keeping the flower beds weeded, bushes trimmed etc.. The front yard was definitely a turn off with knee high weeds. Backyard was fenced in and that is nice. Parking is off street and great. Kitchen facilities were beautiful. I enjoyed the vintage architecture , woodwork and stain glass. Host had a bakery bring us scones on our checkin. That was a nice touch. The local antique stores were fun and well stocked. Location made it easy to get to/from Gettysburg. The front street is busy!! But use the paved ally in back and it wasn’t that bad getting back into Lincoln Way. But the Wi-Fi/tv keeps it from being a worthy 5 star.

Great location!
We were visiting for the 160th anniversary of Gettysburg. This house is in a prime location. Excellent communication and check in process. Beautiful little town square a short walk away. Nice fenced in back yard for children. Accurate in VRBO description. Would definitely recommend for families.

Family history weekend
This was a wonderful place to stay for a history weekend away in Gettysburg. We had a great time in New Oxford, and it was close enough to Gettysburg to spend time there as well. The home was amazing, and we had everything we needed. It was comfortable and relaxing and we felt very much at home.

Our grandmother passed away in Hanover, so all of us cousins needed a place to stay close by- this house was beyond perfect! We were able to walk to get coffee, wine and antiques! The kitchen/living room was perfect for us to all talk, share old memories and make new memories!
