Very pleased with long weekend getaway with friends
Very nice, large house. Perfect for large groups. Clean. Nice outdoor firepit for chilly nights. Traffic can be a little louder in front of the house. Only disappointing thing was the internet wifi is not good at all. Not many options if you want to relax and watchmovies

Nice old house/needs wi-fi
You kind of felt like you’re living back in history in this house. And you have some modernizations of a kitchen edition that was really large. The only issue I have there is the lack of Internet. The back yard has a fire pit and is in a nice yard. We tried for four days to get the TV to work. The wi-fi system does not work and the property manager couldn’t help either. You’re only getting one to two bars on the Wi-Fi system, which is not good for screaming at all.

Gettysburg trip
Location was great, well stocked kitchen, bathroom. However, Internet didn’t work the first night, was able to get into it the 2nd day. Living room tv instructions are horrible. I understand tv is not a priority when on a family trip but after going all day, we decided to watch a little tv all together before going to bed. Instructions are basically nonexistent, I reached out to property manager ( did not expect a reply bc it was almost 9:00 at night, and fully understood he would get back to me at his earliest convenience) however that never happened. Didn’t hear from him or anyone the whole trip. I don’t think it’s worth the 500.00 plus a night they are asking at all.

Extended Family Stay
This is a great house, well cared for and well-appointed. We were a party of six: my husband and me, my brother and sister-in-law and their twin teen girls. The first floor was historic in the front and modern, very spacious in the back. All of our socializing and dining was accommodated very comfortably. Bedrooms were upstairs. Two queen bedrooms have window a/c, which cooled those rooms adequately. However, the bunk bedroom had no a/c, and it was rather warm (even with fans). The upstairs bathroom has issues. While the claw foot tub is romantic, its height makes it very difficult to enter and exit, especially because there are no handrails. And, the toilet flapper broke as soon as we arrived. The downstairs bathroom is fine. Notably, the housekeeper and handyman attended to fixing the toilet immediately. The owner was very communicative and understanding, helpful. Having written all of this, I must say that this home was very comfortable and safe, and the lovely, fenced backyard certainly would accommodate small to medium sized dogs. We certainly would return, maybe to meet “Reggie” when he’s working…

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.

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.

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!
