About this property

Historic Gettysburg Farmhouse

Welcome to our historical Civil War Farmhouse. The Stone home was built in 1789. With some of the original wood floors and beams. At the time of the Battle of Gettysburg (July 1863) the property 7 miles southwest of Gettysburg, had been a working farm for over 75 years. It was remodeled 15 years ago and became a cozy family home. Where children grew and memories were created. While keeping its historic character, also contains modern conveniences (updated kitchen and baths, central heating and air conditioning etc.) We’re located in a quiet residential area, away from the hustle and bustle of town life. Only about 10 mins from historic downtown Gettysburg.

We offer 3 bedrooms (upstairs, 1 Full. 2 Queen) and 1 ½ bathrooms. Fully equipped kitchen, dining area, Living room, a TV with streaming channels and Wi-Fi. All bedrooms are located on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Due to this being a historic home, ceilings and doorways are low. The floors creak and slant. The home may not be functional for people with certain physical mobility issues.

It is our goal to provide each of our guest with a wonderful stay. If at any point during your stay, you need something or feel we have not met your needs, please contact us immediately so we may rectify it.
During your stay at this farm stay, you'll be close to Gateway Theater.

What a Gem!
This home was so charming... Lovingly maintained, perfectly decorated, stunning grounds, thoughtful amenities. When asked how they wanted to spend our last night in Gettysburg, our children chose to return to Hartlaub House to enjoy a cozy dinner, a campfire, and Civil War cornhole- they LOVED staying here. Blessed with perfect weather for our visit, coffee on the porch was a dream and the short drive into town was scenic and convenient. The hosts were excellent- knowledgeable, friendly and accessible. We are already trying to find an excuse to visit again!

Perfect Getaway
The farmhouse more than lived up to my expectations. It has the old farmhouse charm while also providing you with modern day amenities. It was a wonderful place to come back to each day after seeing the sites in Gettysburg. The owners checked in with us every so often to make sure everything was to our liking and to see if there was anything they could do for us. My wife and I will likely be coming back here again sometime.

2nd Stay… Just as great as the first!
This was our 2nd stay at this location. The historic home is perfect. The location is convenient to travel to the battlefield or into town. The owners are wonderful and answer all communication promptly. If heading to Gettysburg I would always choose to stay at this home.

The property was amazing! It was very clean and the historical charm we were looking for staying inna civil wat home. It is close to all of the attraction but far away enough for peace and quiet. At night at the fire pit we all heard phantom cannons and muskets going off. The only area of opportunity, is the owners need to invest in new beds. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable. Everyone in our party did not sleep well at all. Over all, it was a great spot.off. It was epic!

Amazing historical getaway!
Being from California, we couldn’t believe the breathtaking scenery! So green and plush and full of wildlife. The house was stunning! Couldn’t believe we were actually staying in a home from the civil war era. The house was cozy, clean, relaxing and all the amenities provided were just amazing! The owners were so easy to communicate with and so friendly. Sitting out back or out front in the evenings was so cool hearing and seeing all the wildlife, it was surreal. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend this rental property to anyone wondering if this is a good place to stay. The answer is yes, you won’t be disappointed!

Gettysburg Get Away
This was by far the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. It was incredibly well stocked with all the supplies we might need, many of which travelers forget (ziplocks, tinfoil, etc.) The yard games were perfect afternoon entertainment for our kids (7,9,14), and the yard space beautiful and relaxing. The beds were comfortable, and the space was relaxing and beautiful. A perfect quiet space to recover from a day of activity. We love the historic charm and modern amenities, and would love to return if ever the opportunity comes. Thank you to our hosts for making our stay so memorable.

Historical Beauty and Charm in Gettysburg
This amazing property exceeded our family's expectations during our time in Gettysburg. It truly is beautiful inside and out. From the moment we stepped inside the home we felt as if we had taken a step back in time, while at the same time having an abundance of modern conveniences. The home is immaculately taken care of and clean. We spent 4 nights there and never ran out of clean linens, towels, or other extra items provided by the hosts. The home is spacious, which was nice for our family of five to be able to spread out a bit after a day touring the battlefield and town. Communication was always answered promptly and the hosts were beyond willing to make suggestions for dinner, etc. We plan on visiting Gettysburg again in the near future and without a doubt look forward to staying in this pre-Civil War treasure again.

Beautiful home with great outdoor space. There is only one full bathroom which is inconvenient at times but the half bath on first floor is appreciated.

Perfect Place for a Family Gathering
The house was the perfect place for our family to gather. The house was nicely appointed, very clean, and had a really welcoming feeling from the moment you stepped in. If the weather was nicer, we would have loved to have used the fire pit. Would highly recommend this spot to those traveling to Gettysburg.

Great experience - so beautiful and relaxing!
Booked this as a getaway for my parents. Everything was amazing! It reminded them of childhood memories, everything was tastefully decorated with Civil War décor and interesting reads, it was immaculate, all the nice amenities set up for them was so thoughtful and convenient. Used the fire pit outside, the pond across the street was a pretty view in the morning even saw a few fisherman (unusually/perfectly warm weekend for October!), convenient drive to Gettysburg, great recommendations for local sports from the owners who were very responsive. This home completed their whole Gettysburg experience. Highly recommended, would definitely return! Tom & Joan

A Blessing in Gettysburg
This house is everything it says in the description and more. The house is private and secluded, yet close to everything. The distance to the battlefield and town was very convenient and easy to drive. The house was decorated perfectly. It was clean. All furniture was comfortable. The house adds to the authenticity of the visit to a Civil War trip. My favorite part was just sitting on the back porch and watching the squirrels run around in the perfect back yard. The owners are wonderful, we were showed around the house and taught how to use the technology (fancy lights and doors) and everything was just perfect. You can't go wrong with this rental. God blessed this home many years ago and now that blessing is shared with all who stay there!

We absolutely loved this cute, historic farmhouse. It had all the amenities you would want and some history to boot. Super clean as well! It was also close to all the sites we wanted to tour and we were so happy to have tried Brother's Pizza. Great food and lots of choices and very close. If we are ever back up to this area we would definitely stay here again. Also the host was amazing and actually met us at the place to make sure we had everything we needed. This is a must stay if you are in the area!

Gettysburg Getaway
This property is lovely. We enjoyed the modern amenities coupled with this historic charm. Kevin was so prompt and courteous with every communication and request. Sadly we did not encounter any ghosts although the house is quite old. By staying out of town, we discovered a new part of the park to the northwest where JEB Stuart among others rallied. Thank you Hartlaubs!

Ideal location, great for family
Our favorite part: You feel like you’re far out in the countryside but in reality you’re only a ten-minute drive into Gettysburg town center. The quiet, countryside beauty allowed us to experience real rest & leisure away from town’s bustle. We loved this way of experiencing the local history by staying in an historic farm house. Its aesthetic is right on par with that history (and even the TV is a Samsung Frame that looks like a painting of a Civil War scene on the wall!). That said, the house is very much up to date with a lovely kitchen, bathroom(s) and sunroom - as well as a great outdoor patio/fire pit space and brand new grill. Our active one-year-old who’s so close to walking loved exploring the house, its grounds and nearby pond. We brought our pack-n-play for baby to sleep in at night and for naps, as well as a white-noise sound machine and audio monitor. Both were helpful because we could enjoy sitting outside as nap time happened in an upstairs bedroom, and the sound machine blurred the occasional car/motorcycle speeding by (the house is close to the road, as you can see in the photos). Very thoughtful details by the property owners, Kevin and Cari. You can immediately see and feel how much they care for this space and for your time staying in it! Kevin was very accommodating with our unusual schedule (an unpredictably timed Gettysburg College athlete graduation) and generously available/flexible for both check in and check out. Thank you so much!
