Great little house! Stayed here with my husband and his sister and her husband, was the perfect size for the four of us - any more and it would have gotten cramped IMO. The kitchen is small, but well appointed for making some quick meals and the living room was a great place to hang out at the end of the day. The house is in a GREAT location!! We walked to town everyday and it is even close to several points of interest on the National Park.Check in process was simple and the home was immaculately clean! Would stay here again and highly recommend it.

Another great stay at the Cricket House

This was my family's fourth stay at the Cricket House. We were two adults & a teen. The beds are comfortable & the house is clean. All you need to cook simple meals is in the kitchen. Easily walkable to downtown, to the Culp's Hill area of the battlefield, & to Gettysburg College. Other parts of town & battlefield are a short drive. Nice backyard area. Simple check-in. We look forward to returning.

Great Place to Stay

The Cricket House was a great place to stay for our first trip to Gettysburg. The battlefields were close by and many restaurants were within walking distance. We had one small mechanical issue during our stay and it was taken care of quickly. The beds very comfortable and everything was very clean. The host, Brian gave excellent recommendations for restaurants as well.
