A hidden gem! It's only a seven-minute drive to the college campus, which was the focus of our visit. Our host was friendly and accommodating, and we really appreciated the snacks! I'd recommend this cottage as an option for visiting parents or civil war students visiting the battlefield.
Cozy cottage was perfect for our anniversary/birthday stay. Comfortable, clean and well equipped for us. Chris and Todd are wonderful and we felt right at home. Loved the little touches and snacks, beverages and wine they left us. A wonderful stay
Location was beautifully rural, yet so close to Gettysburg. Every morning we spent time in the charming screened in porch enjoying the array of wildlife that came to greet us..turkeys, guinea hens, rabbits and chickens and had great fun feeding them! Comfortable bed, generous portion and array of snacks and everything we needed. Can’t say enough good things about this cottage. Loved our stay.
The property was absolutely beautiful!! One of the best we’ve ever stayed at. Location was the perfect distance from town and the animals on the property were the hit of the visit! We can’t wait to come back!!
Such a cute cottage- perfect for two people. The surroundings are so relaxing and pleasant. The animals (rabbits, turkeys, guineas, ducks all add to the terrific environment)! Highly recommend!!
We just lived this little cottage! It was so nice. Peaceful and cozy. Whenever we come back that way, we will stay here again. Loved all the company that greeted us in the morning! Chickens, Turkeys, Roosters, Ducks and Rabbits.
What a perfect little spot!! We throughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was clean and cozy, the sweet animals- especially the bunnies were a highlight!If I get back this way- I would love to stay here again!
This is the second time we have stayed Briarfield! The accommodations are perfection, they provide everything you need and more! They even went out of their way and let us borrow chairs for our event. We truly love Briarfield!
Conveniently located near Gettysburg National Military Park yet secluded, quiet and peaceful. Comfortable and charming. The roaming critters were a fun extra. Grateful for this place.
We planned a nice weekend getaway to see Gettysburg and couldn't have picked a better location. Just minutes away from downtown yet far enough away to enjoy the beauty of nature. This quiet cottage was everything we needed it to be! Will be back and have already recommended to others for their future stay!
We loved this cabin and grounds with all of the wonderful, friendly animals and beautiful garden which I would love to see in August!! It was perfect for our Gettysburg trip!!
Staying at Pickett Cottage at Brierfield was a great experience from booking the property to saying "goodbye" to one of the hosts when we were leaving. The cottage was conveniently close to Gettysburg attractions, yet private and secluded for a relaxing, quiet stay. The property is on a farm and forest location providing a nice, natural setting. The cottage was decorated very tasteful and all the amenities made for a comfortable stay. It was so cute seeing and being greeted by furry and feathered friends when we took a walk around the property. Friendly rabbits, beautiful turkeys, geese and ducks extended their hospitality to us. It was very gracious for Terry and Chris to have provided snacks and treats for us, and those furry/feathered friends. My wife loved the cottage and the experience of staying at Brierfield which was part of a birthday getaway for her. We look forward to staying again and have already recommended the property to friends.
Such a charming, tranquil little cottage. My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and couldn’t have been more delighted. We thoroughly enjoyed the bunny rabbits that roam the property freely as well as do the wild turkeys who literally escorted us to Pickett’s cottage and then Izzy who greeted us in the morning. Our hosts thought of everything imaginable to make our anniversary special and all within a convenient location to the Gettysburg battlefield. Highly recommended.
My wife and I stayed at the Pickett cabin two weekends in a row during The National Apple Harvest Festival. The cabin is beautiful, super clean and such a relaxing place to stay. Chris and Todd are fabulous hosts and go out of their way to make your stay a wonderful experience. They are so gracious and provide a selection of snacks and beverages including coffee to get you started upon arrival. The grounds around the cabin are meticulously kept and they have pet turkeys, roosters, Guinea hens, rabbits, cats, bunnies freely roaming the property and not to be forgotten their friendly dog, Izzy, who comes and pays a visit on a regular basis. It is so relaxing to sit in the screened in front porch overlooking the 17 acre property(don’t forget to bring dog treats!). We’ve already booked our next year’s stay at the Pickett cabin and highly recommend it to anyone traveling to the Gettysburg area.Jim and Lisa Bennett
