    The Little Schoolhouse was a perfect place to stay, and to come back to at the end of the day. The house is lovely, the amenities were adequate for us. The location is only a few miles of easy driving (2-5 miles) to the Gettysburg Military National Park, literally driving along the side of the battlefield on Taneytown Rd. We couldn't have asked for a better location. Although there was a full kitchen, we were on vacation, so no cooking, but we did have coffee in the A.M. Close enough to any restaurants you might wish to eat at in Gettysburg. Only downside is the lack of convenient public parking.

    I have visited Gettysburg many times in my life however I have never rented a VRBO. All I can say is for this being my first experience it certainly was grand! Amazing transformation of an old school house to a one bedroom dwelling. Super clean and the hosts are outstanding. Excellent communication and tremendous accommodation all the way around. Thank you for my best stay ever in Gettysburg! I will be back! On a side note , if you like to cook the kitchen is nicely equipped and huge! I used it my entire stay.

    The schoolhouse was perfect for our stay in Gettysburg. It was close enough to town that we could easily get where we needed to be but far enough out to have peace and quiet in the evenings. We had a minor issue the first day, but Katie and Ryan were quick to respond and resolve it. Plus, they checked on us later in the day to make sure everything was still okay. To me, having that kind of host makes their 5 star rating even more earned.

    First time visiting Gettysburg with my son, home from law school and a history buff. The schoolhouse was an authentic touch to this historic visit. Property owners were very welcoming; check in was easy, and the house was comfortable, immaculate and every amenity thought of. Close to the National Park and Battlefields, and the town of Gettysburg. Just perfect.

    This was our second time staying here. It’s a peaceful location outside of town, very quiet. There is room for some improvement. The refrigerator and shower curtain need cleaned and the flower beds are neglected. One toilet has a broken handle, so we didn’t use it. Check in day I asked if we could come about 30 minutes early, I didn’t get a reply. All said, I’d stay again.

    Hosts were quick to respond to any questions I had.House was nice but could use a good once over cleaning for cobwebs. Many in the corners and on objects in the house. I killed five spiders during our stay. The toilet handle in the half bath was broken which made it very difficult to flush as part of it was missing. Overall, a nice place that is close to everything but away from the busy downtown. The suggestions for places to eat and shop were also a nice addition! I would add the Lincoln Dinner as a very good place to eat also!Im confident the things I mentioned above will be taken care of by the hosts and overall we had a nice stay!

    We had a nice visit. The house was comfortable and spacious. The only awkward part was the lack of window coverings. Not such a big deal in the livingroom, but the bathroom not having anything covering the windows was uncomfortable, especially considering one of the two windows is right next to the front door. Otherwise this is a cool little place to spend the weekend and its very close to all the places we wanted to visit.

    What Ryan and Katie have done to create this little home away from home is nothing short of amazing! What was once a one-room schoolhouse is now a very spacious and comfortable rental property at a reasonable price in a peaceful and serene area just south of Gettysburg, north of Littlestown and west of Hanover, PA. So much to see and do at your own leisure if you choose. This place is always clean (my 3rd trip here), comfortable, and offering modern amenities. We love it!
