About this property

Visit our charming cottage this Fall & Winter. Enjoy the Scenery & Ski Slopes.

Escape to our charming 2-bedroom cottage in the small Pennsylvania town of McKnightstown, just outside Gettysburg. Professionally decorated in a warm Gettysburg Americana style, the cottage is full of thoughtful details that guests consistently love. Enjoy the well-stocked coffee bar, relax with your morning coffee on the huge screened sunporch, or unwind overlooking the spacious backyard, admiring the changing leaves. Most of all, settle into a comfortable, exceptionally clean home away from home, something our guests mention again and again in their reviews.

Fall and winter are wonderful times to experience the Gettysburg area. Take in brilliant autumn colors along scenic country roads and the historic battlefield, explore Gettysburg’s museums, shops, and restaurants, visit nearby wineries, hike, ski, or enjoy the area's quieter pace after the busy summer season. As the holidays approach, Gettysburg and the surrounding small towns take on a festive charm all their own.

Whether you’re coming for the history, a peaceful weekend away, a fall getaway, or a cozy winter visit, our McKnightstown cottage gives you a welcoming place to come home to after a day of exploring.

The host was very quick to respond and made sure we were able to check in early which was great! It was very close to downtown Ghettysburg, about a 5 minute drive. My only con would be the cleanliness, I wish it was cleaner.
