The cottage was clean, comfortable, and cute! The setting was beautiful--feeding the bunnies, chickens, and turkeys was fun--the animals are lovely! We appreciated the drinks and snacks provided. It was a very nice, welcoming place! The owner spoke us briefly in the morning, and was so nice to send us home with fresh eggs! I would definitely stay here again!

This is the perfect place to stay for a trip to Gettysburg. It's a very short drive to the city and to food choices. You are nestled away in a peaceful and tranquil setting in the countryside. This cottage is even BETTER than the pictures show. The hosts are great! And the chickens, bunnies, turkeys and Izzy (the dog) are so fun to watch and all are friendly! 100% recommend!

Excellent stay in Cushing Cottage In Gettysburg. We stayed for4 nights in June 2026. It's situated on a small hobby farm with very friendly animals. Turkeys, rabbit's, chickens, geese, Izzy their dog and lots more. Far enough from town to be relaxing but close enough and easy to get to for touring. Our hosts were very friendly and cared about our stay. They included lots of little thing to make our stay enjoyable. We would highly rrecommend staying here and will definitely stay again if we are in the area. Thanks again Chris and Todd.

Great little cottage for two. Tucked away in a peaceful setting with lots of friendly animals to greet you. The hosts have thought of everything to make your stay enjoyable. Comfortable KS bed, fluffy towels, snacks, some beverages, coffee etc. Quick ride to Gettysburg. I rarely give 5star reviews. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a very enjoyable overnight in the cottage. The hosts were very friendly and very responsive to messages. The cottage is clean and well appointed. We appreciated the bottled water, cheese and crackers waiting for us. The animal-friends on the property are fun to watch. The brood of turkeys made quite a display as we were leaving. We would return if we head back to Adams County.

The property itself is as beautiful as it is peaceful. Inside the cabin, every single thoughtful, tiny thing you could need is provided. The room temp and the furniture is very cozy. Outside, we were greeted and kept company by the most friendly animals! Turkeys, chickens, rabbits, and even the family’s dog made an appearance! Overall, the atmosphere was super cozy and calm and the entire property was spotless & cared for. We will absolutely be going back!

Chris & Todd were fabulous hosts! Upon arriving we were greeted by all of their turkeys, chickens, ducks and bunnies which love to eat corn flakes from your hand!!! They left snacks, bottle of wine and chilled glasses (we don't drink but it was beyond thoughtful) in addition to coffee, tea, juice and creamers. The cottage was very clean and tastefully decorated--the vintage furniture was to die for! I absolutely loved this stay and on the rare occasion we get to getaway, we would definitely return to Cushing Cottage! Thank you for your hospitality!
