Beautiful cottage

It was our first time visiting gettysburg. We loved staying in this beautiful cottage. It makes you feel at home and so do the owners. We loved our stay and plan to come back in the future. I would 100% recommend to anyone!

Gettysburg family getaway

Our family of four had a great stay at Blue Coat Cottage. The property is easily accessible to downtown Gettysburg as well as Liberty Mountain (10 to 15 minute drive to each). The setting is peaceful with farms surrounding the property, and the owners put a lot of effort into making the house homey and comfortable. I loved the stocked coffee cart! It was great to have easy access to laundry facilities and a well appointed kitchen. Definitely recommend to a family considering renting a house rather than staying in a hotel for a Gettysburg trip.

Quaint, Adorable Stay

We had a wonderful time at the cottage. It was close enough to drive around gettysburg, but a quiet and homey place to end the night. Lee Ann had everything you could need stocked up! Would def recommend!

Like Home

It was nice to have all the space available. My whole family was not crowded into one room. We had enough space for all of us to have time alone as needed. We stayed over Thanksgiving and it was so nice to have dinner in a home not a restaurant

Comfortable and convenient

The unit is very comfortable and an easy few minutes away from Gettysburg proper. The creek across the road is peaceful. Beautiful land all around. The house was just fine for a family of 4 traveling for spring break.

About the host

Hosted by Lee Ann Burkholder

My husband and I have been married 28 years and have two grown daughters. We are history lovers, college football fans and spend a good deal of time in the fall following my alma mater, UCF, around the country to cheer on the Knights. We love kayaking, hiking and camping.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home in July of 2020 and converted it into the Blue Coat Cottage. We are huge history buffs so purchasing a home in Gettysburg was a dream come true. It's especially fun to share our love of this area with others through the cottage.

What makes this property unique

The cottage sits directly across from Marsh Creek. This is the very waterway that General Robert E. Lee retreated over July 4, 1863 in a driving rain. It's a beautiful, serene area rich in history.
