About this property
East Cavalry Red House<br>3 bedrooms 3 full baths sleeps up to 12
Make family memories at our peaceful hideaway just 4 miles outside downtown Gettysburg! We are1/2 mile from the East Cavalry Battlefield. Tucked in the woods on a quiet road, you may forget that you're only a few minutes from shops and restaurants in the bustling heart of the historic town. This light-filled, split-level home is beautifully decorated with comfort in mind. This house is much bigger than it looks! The cozy cottage-like facade conceals a roomy interior with plenty of room for your group to spread out. It is ideal for large families. The large yard is completely private, surrounded by woods. You will enjoy spotting wildlife from the deck by day, and relaxing by the fire ring at night. There is plenty to do inside, too. History lovers can retreat to the den, sinking into a comfy chair with a few volumes from the owners' library of military and history books. There is a comfortable TV room with Internet and Comcast TV. You can sign into your Netflix or Amazon TV account or watch a family-friendly DVD from our collection. Families love gathering around the game table (seats 6-8) in the den to work on a jigsaw puzzle or sample our collection of board games. We do have an Electric Vehicle charger on site for use. Featuring a split-level layout, the house may present challenges to travelers with mobility issues. It is not wheelchair-accessible.

This comfy home was great for us. There is lots of room to spread out. Jeff and Patty have lots of fun things in the home to explore: games, movies, tv, books and art. There were clear instructions for the remotes, AC etc. The kitchen had everything we needed. Also some spices, oil, vinegar etc. The property is private and we'll maintained. Sit on the deck and watch the squirrels and birds. We would come here again!

Thank you for letting us host you. We hope to see you again
The house was very clean. The kitchen is great and very well stalked with items needed to cook with and dishes. We loved the outdoor firepit for campfires and the charcoal grills were great. 3 bathrooms for a larger group was wonderful! The close location to Gettysburg and all it's parks/museums and downtown stores was perfect! I would highly recommend this house to rent!

Jeff and Patty were excellent hosts. We had everything that we needed with extras just in case. Loved the back deck, it was where we spent most of our time at the house. The battlefields are really close an the museum was so impressive.
Fantastic house and property. Unfortunately, it was too nice outside all weekend, so we didn’t really get to enjoy the inside of the house, but that’s a good thing. We plan on renting the house again next year.

This place is great. As a cook it was great to have what you need to make a decent meal. The Kitchen was well equipped with quality cookware and all the basic tools a good cook would desire. Sink, microwave electric range and oven were all updated , clean and easy to work with. The property is clean and well cared for. The total floor It's in a great setting off the road providing privacy. The owners were responsive at the check in , post check in and check out. Just down the road from shopping and , food and groceries and a ten minute drive to the battlefields. Great location. I've stayed in Gettysburg area many times and this was top notch.
Great property! Everything inside and out was just what we had hope. We really enjoyed the fire pit. Would recommend if you stay near Gettysburg to check this out first.

We had a great time staying at Jeff and Patty's place! The house was excellently clean, the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked (even with kid-friendly dishes! and coffee) and the house easily accommodated our party -- the grownups played cards, the kids watched movies and we all just got to be together. We had a great time visiting the battlefield, and then coming back to the house for a fire and s'mores!

We had an amazing stay at this house! We came for a weekend trip for my son’s 16th birthday with friends and family. The wooded property is beautiful and private but so close to town. It was super clean, well stocked kitchen, easy instructions for everything, and the host was great to check in with us while we were there. We would definitely recommend this house for larger groups especially if you want a quiet location.
We had a marvelous stay. The house was perfect for us...a group of ladies who are related (aunts & cousins). Very spacious, clean, well equipped (especially the kitchen), and well stocked with supplies. The owners appeared to have gone through great lengths to provide excellent accommodations. Would definitely stay again.
