About this property

Secluded 4 acre retreat

Rustic post and beam home rich with character. Five bedrooms and 2 full bath 2200 s/f sleeps up to 13. Cozy wood stove for heat with propane backup; a/c. Please be aware when you are booking this property that the two woodstoves are the primary source of heat for the home. The propane is merely a backup system and likely won't provide you the comfort you are looking for when used alone. House enjoys a large yard and mature woodland surroundings. Relax on covered porch or large shaded deck and enjoy the biodiversity of your secluded surroundings. Five minutes to Liberty Resorts skiing and golf; 15 minutes to Gettysburg. Property features artwork from various local renowned artists. Meander through the woods on our boardwalk to find an additional outbuilding equipped with a game room and sleeping quarters. Woodstoves are wonderful for ambiance and warmth, but please be aware when you are booking this property that the two woodstoves are the primary source of heat for the home. The propane is merely a backup system and likely won't provide you the comfort you are looking for when used alone. This year, we added a gameroom (detached building with access to home by a boardwalk) with additional sleeping quarters. Gameroom is equipped with board games, puzzles, pool table, ping pong table and poker table and a double bed and queen bed as well as a small bar area. The hot tub is available at additional fee. If you are not a nature lover and would be upset by the occasional visitation of a mouse or spider, then I recommend looking elsewhere. We strive to keep the home critter free at all times, but this is a rustic home in the woods. There are no guarantees.

About the host

Hosted by Corinne Higgs

Host profile image
Nan and Max are retired college professors and currently live in Gettysburg. Nanette is now a full time artist, and Corinne lives with nearby with her husband and two children. We are happy to share our home that we lovingly designed and created.

Why they chose this property

This home was built by us using timbers from Nanette's parents' barn at the end of the road. We lived here on a property carved off from the big farm for 15 years, and have leased it out for most of the remaining time. We often thought when we were at vacation rentals in other states that many of them didn't quite compare to what we had at home. So we've decided to try making it available as a vacation rental.

What makes this property unique

This home is private and secluded; the only sounds you are apt to hear at night are the peepers and the barred owls in the woods. The deck is a great place to hang outside, and the covered porch can't be beat for witnessing a passing thunderstorm or evening lightning bugs. Golf and skiing are a mile away, and there's easy access to Gettysburg and even day trips to DC.
