Lighting bug lit sky the warm glow of the fire and in the distance the heavy methodical breathing of a horse. Sounds like a fairy tale? Not in the least. It's simply up the street around the corner and away from the busy life of society, work, school or just daily living. Carrie is one of the most caring and intelligent women I've had the pleasure to meet and her gentle but strong nature moves through her words and character. I'll be returning yearly if possible. Magic is waiting just beyond the hill.

The surroundings for Carrie's cabin are gorgeous - rolling hills, diverse small farms, orchards, woods, creeks, fields and lots of wildlife. The cabin is a pleasure to inhabit, with just enough space, and more comfortable than I had expected on a brutally hot summer evening. Carrie has set it up really nicely, with solar lighting for bedtime reading or working at the little table, and a solar recharging station for your phone. The bed is very comfortable. Carrie is also really generous with her time and expertise. So if you enjoy horses, goats, and ducks, or just want to relax in a beautiful rural setting, I recommend this place!

This was our second time staying at the cabin and it gets harder and harder to leave. Carrie is so accommodating and takes the time out of her very busy schedule to make you feel at home. She has everything you need from the camp fire grill to delicious morning coffee. There were baby chick's to hold, baby ducks to visit and of course the kid goats and horses that are always great just to watch grazing the fields. This has definitely become our little piece of paradise and again we are planning our next stay. Thank you Carrie for not only only being a great host but becoming a dear friend. See you soon!

We stopped here on our cross country road trip and booked an extra day just in case we ran into issues. We ended up staying at Carrie's for both nights, which was really fun. We got to meet a lot of her animals, and got to check the place out a little bit. It was a great location, close to some tourist activities like Gettysburg but not right in the middle of it.

Staying here felt more like a transaction than staying in someone's home. The cabin and surrounding areas were beautiful, but Carrie seemed preoccupied with the farm activities. I'd love to stay here again when I have more time. Also, you shouldn't stay here if you're afraid of bugs or using a Porta-potty.

Carrie's was great and better than we were hoping for. We were looking for a step-up in camping and that's what we got, plus some pretty great access to the horses, fainting goats, chickens and goats on her working farm. Our 3-year-old and a couple of baby goats had fun chasing one another. Beautiful surroundings and a 20-minute trip to Gettysburg. The cabin is no-frills but has a comfortable bed, which is the step-up in camping I was really looking for. She's working on getting an outdoor shower in the works, and a sink, which will be nice. The Port-a-Potty was clean. Everything was clean, really, despite the fact that we had some significant rain. Picnic bench and fire pit to round out the "camping" experience. We'd recommend this adventure especially to other young families, Carrie was a great hostess and we hope to be back.

Nice, quiet location at a beautiful property. Close enough to Gettysburgh but far enough that we got some peace and quiet.

This stay was amazing, way better than expected. Carrie greeted us right away such a beautiful area in PA. My girlfriend and I loved being around all her animals and had such a nice sleep in her comfortable cabin. Highly suggest staying here, you will not be disappointed.

We had a wonderful time staying at Carrie's! The home was very comfortable, clean, and exactly as described, with everything that we needed for our stay. Carrie was a fantastic host, friendly and very responsive, and she introduced us to the animals on the farm -- the horses were beautiful and the baby goats adorable. We would highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing experience near the Gettysburg area!

Carrie's farm is beautiful, quaint, and cozy. The guest house is nicely situated for a rural PA retreat, as its close to several state forests and parks-- but the farm alone is a great place to explore. We loved getting a tour of all the animals that live there and getting to hear some of their stories- Carrie's work is truly inspiring! She was super easy to communicate with and was kind and flexible when we needed to alter our reservation; she really made us feel right at home as soon as we arrived. Hope to come back again soon!

Exactly as described. Wished we could stay longer. She was the perfect host. Thank you!

Meeting the animals on the farm was a highlight! We enjoyed the opportunity to relax for a couple of days and enjoyed the seclusion and simplicity of Carrie's farm. It was a great value and close to Gettysburg where we had planned to tour the battlefield.

Carries place was great. Bigger then we were expecting and getting to meet all the animal's was really fun :) Amazing price you can't beat.

This place is exactly as described and pictured. We loved our farm tour and our only regret is not staying longer! Can't wait to return!

Carries place was a great place to stay. She was friendly and very knowledgeable about the animals and the local area. We really enjoyed staying there and will stay there again the next time we go through the area.

Quiet, secluded location, simple acceptable lodging. Highlight would be meeting the animal residents of the farm.

The host canceled this reservation 40 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The host canceled this reservation 79 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

A nice little get away space . Private but still close to all the historical sites of Gettysburg. Luann was a fabulous host! We will definitely stay there again in the future.

The host canceled this reservation 46 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Luann was a great host. Great place to stay.

We had a great time up the mountain... it's perfectly secluded to get some deserved R & R! A beautiful little cabin, with everything you need. Luann is a great host and quick to answer questions. We would absolutely stay here again.

Great little get-a-way for some R&R. The host, LuAnn, is very responsive to any questions/concerns you may have. Highly recommend!

Charles and Cecylia are very gracious, friendly and helpfull. Having a glass of wine on the porch watching the sunset, we talked of many things and enjoyed ourselves immensely.

This is a wonderful farm on a hilltop. Charles and Cecylia are great hosts and very warm, inviting people. The breakfast was delicious and was made with foods right from their farm. I came to visit Gettysburg and was looking for a secluded place away from the rest of the tourists to rest and that I could quickly get to Gettysburg from. From here it's about 15-20 minutes. I came for the trip to Gettysburg and left with new friends. I'm looking forward to coming back.

Enjoyed listening to the adventures and accomplishments of the family. Wonderful scenery and home grown food!

The setting here is tranquil. Charles welcomed us with some apples from his orchard and proudly pointed out his persimmon trees, his chestnuts, his sheep, his ducks, and his chickens. He is a generous and warm person with many interesting stories to tell. We especially enjoyed watching his dog, Max, chase down chickens and listening to some Borowsky family compositions.

I highly recommend Apple Haven Farm to anyone looking for a place to stay in the area. Charles and his family were extremely welcoming and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the accommodations as well as the stimulating conversation and scenic view. Pets are also allowed, and my dog got along really well with Charles' pets. I'm looking forward to staying here in the future!

This place is kept very nice and clean. James was a fantastic host with great response rate and willingness to accommodate. It is an easy trip to Gettysburg, and sits in a small quiet town. It was exactly what me and my girlfriend were looking for, a relaxing getaway. Nothing but positive things to stay from me!

What an excellent experience! James makes you feel right at home from the stocked fridge, coffee, doughnuts and home made peach cobbler to the extra toothbrushes and toiletries available. The place is clean and quiet. The drive to Gettysburg is short and simple. Would definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area.

James was a wonderful welcoming host, friendly & responsive. The location was great (near Gettysburg). The apartment was spacious and clean-a very good value. I would recommend this place if you are looking to stay near Gettysburg (10-15 minutes drive).

James left everything you could need in the apartment including extra toothbrushes! He was also very accommodating to our late arrival. Thanks James!

James clearly loves to host and take care of his guests! We appreciated the stocked refrigerator and enjoyed the spacious flat.

Very awesome apartment close to Gettysburg!

James is a great host! We ejoyed our stay and the house nice and perfect for our family.

Excellent communication, even before we arrived. James took into account that we were coming into town during the apple festival and offered some different routes to avoid the traffic. He greeted us and showed us around in the morning before we headed down to Gettysburg for the day. Place was great, clean and easy to access. We hope to visit again in the summer.

Beautiful, quaint cabin with all the modern necessities needed. A quiet, babbling brook runs behind with a fire pit right next to it. Two good size rooms with extremely comfortable beds. Lovely screened in porch with large table to gather for meals. Terri was a wonderful hostess, so quick to answer questions and a perfect setup! Quick walk to trail heads and lakes to play in. Definitely a must stay place!

Great cabin and creek! Fun week and wonderful owner!

You can't beat this cabin for charm, comfort, and location -- near the Appalachian Trail, the lakes, and other attractions in the area. We loved being able to walk to a number of places. The deck, the firepit, the babbling brook all contributed to our thoroughly enjoying our stay. Three generations of our family all agreed it was a great place and we'd like to return!

Terri was a great host & very communicative. We loved the big table in the screened-in porch and the proximity to the lake. The kitchen had all the necessities we needed to cook our meals, too. We made use of the beach chairs and floaties in the shed, and we definitely used the bug spray too! Terri has thought of everything!

To start, Terri was amazing! We had a great time while staying at her cabin just outside Gettysburg. She is a very gracious host and I would not hesitate to return. The cabin was beautiful and the restoration they have done is incredible. It is very warm and inviting and decorated absolutely perfectly. There are so many neat things around the house that I found myself reading an ophthalmology textbook from probably the 50's at one point. The place is just that cool. We spent our evenings by the fire toasting marshmallows and listening to the calm babble of the creek jar behind us. We spent our days exploring Gettysburg but there was plenty to do within just a few mins of the cabin. Lots of trails and lakes for kayaking or fishing. Again, the place is amazing and Terri couldn't have been any better! We can't wait to come back!

We had a great time at Terri's Cabin. Plenty of room for our group of 10. The sound of the creek behind the house is amazing! Really fun area with many things to do. Would definitely Stay again!

Ms. Parson is a great communicator and was readily available to respond to any inquiry. Cabin offers a scenic spot to enjoy and relax.

My husband and I rented this cabin for our friends and family to stay at during our Wedding Weekend. It was absolutely beautiful! The cabin is very well cared for and felt like home when we arrived. Terri was very informative and left us very detailed instructions about what to expect and even gave us suggestions for events going on in the area that weekend. Everything was spotless and very well maintained. We had had 8 people sleep over and everyone was very comfortable. The new bathrooms are beautiful. Some of our guests commented that they felt like they were in a hotel. We loved the "Vegas" waterfall shower head! The water in the sinks and showers is all pumped from the nearby creek so you can't drink it, but that just added to the camping experience for us. We wouldn't have had it any other way. Our host made sure there was plenty of water available for cooking and and drinking. We all had the best time. We enjoyed nights by the fire relaxing with old friends from near and far, roasted marshmallows and made s'mores with our kids, played in the leaves, sat by the creek and told stories, stayed up way to late at night, and cooked delicious breakfast feasts each morning. It was absolutely perfect! We made memories to last a lifetime and we are so grateful for Terri's hospitality and graciousness in opening up her family's cabin to us. We will definitely be back!

This is a truly a place to get away from it all! We felt totally secluded and our 2.5 year old loved the horses! Definitely book if you're wanting a taste of rustic beauty and simple pleasures!

We spent 2 nights at Steve's cabin. Steve and his lovely family were extremely helpful and friendly. Their property is convenient well equipped. We had wonderful time. Noa,Aharon ,&Uri Berenson. Israel

This cottage was perfect for our weekend getaway with the dogs. It is very roomy and could easily fit several people. Steve's property is absolutely beautiful and perfect for anyone looking to get away and enjoy the hiking, golfing and fishing in the area. Steve gave us great insight on the restaurants in the area as well as the Gettysburg tours/museum. The property makes you feel very secluded, even though you are just a short drive to downtown Gettysburg. All in all this place was absolutely what we needed.

Steve was very accommodating to our trip's itinerary. Spacious for our party of 6! Would stay again next we visit Gettysburg

The whole weekend was fantastic. Steve was a gracious and welcoming host who took time to chat with us about Gettysburg, history, his horses and the farm. I am not sure what I liked most: the view of the pond, the sound of the horses or the delicious zucchini bread his wife so kindly shared. If you are anywhere near Gettysburg I highly recommend staying with Steve. I could not wish for a better time. :)

We had a great time here, the space is very nice and has everything a traveler needs, bed is also really comfortable and most of all great hosts! We love to come back again

This was a very cosy cottage on Steve's farm. We stay for one night on our trip to Gettysburg. Steve is a very pleasant host and very welcoming. We arrived when it was dark but the morning revealed the beautiful nature around the cottage.

This place was absolutely PERFECT! We arrived late at night so it was dark and woke up to the most beautiful morning I've ever seen. My family loved the farm, it was scenic and quiet and exactly the country life we wanted to experience. There were no signals at the cottage or the wifi, which was exactly the kind of vacation I wanted my family to have. Will definitely come again. Steve was a delight, and bean was the cutest most friendly puppy we could have asked for. We even went kayaking in the pond in the morning. Wonderful experience. Best airbnb!

Lisa was a lovely host, and the Lavender house was perfect! Set back from the road, private, and welcoming, it's the ideal getaway! Highly recommended! Can hardly wait to return!

Close drive into Town of Gettysburg. Nice to have a place that is quiet and peaceful with views of the horses and a cute little burro.

Perfect, cozy loft overlooking a horse pasture and farmlife about a 10 minute drive from Downtown Gettysburg. Town was easily accessible via Uber and Lyft for the night. Had a wonderful time! The hosts have thought of everything!

A great Airbnb in a great location. Brandys apartment is very comfortable with lots is special touches! We loved meeting Brandy, and her lovely horses, and touring the Gettysburg sites.

Brandy's place served as a middle meeting place for me and my friends. Brandy lives on a beautiful scenic horse farm! It is a nice get away, yet only about 10-15 minute drive to the battlefield and downtown Gettysburg. The place was clean and had enough room to sleep 4. The bathroom is separate (down stairs) and private for guests! They had snacks and extra toiletries available. They were quick on communicating. I would recommend Brandy's place to other travelers!

This is a great place that is a bit out of town, which was certainly a plus. It was also very easy to get to, very close to the highway. The place is just what we needed with two bedrooms and a nice large living room. Our check in could not have been easier, we pulled up and were able to put our luggage in the room and start touring Gettysburg. We really enjoyed walking around and seeing the horses, and in the mornings all was quiet so I took a walk before the family was up. We liked this much better than any hotel, certainly a recommended place to stay.

Beautiful, peaceful location, and a comfortable apartment.

This place is great! The room is very clean and accurately described. The view from the living room is amazing! It was so fun to watch the sunset while looking at the horses and letting their outdoor cat. It's a beautiful property with beautiful houses. I would defiantly go back!

Fantastic host, everything was just as described on the net. Next time in town, i would stay at their farm once again.

Great location - you can walk to restaurants. Quiet room.

It was great!

Barbara and Tom are Great! The apartment was clean and they are very hospitable. For sure, this is one of the best experiences I had with Airbnb hands down:)!!!

Barbara was so nice. Her place is awesome (my kids words). The place is so clean.

Great place to unwind and relax. Comfy beds and the kids loved the pool. Barbara brought us bananas and orange juice, which was very nice. We love Gettysburg and will definitely be back. If we stay overnight again, we will definitely be back at Barbara's place!

Barbara and Tom were great hosts. Their place is a clean, quiet, back to nature hideaway in the woods just outside of the busy tourist area- with a pool for cooling off after a full day of exploring Gettysburg.

I will recommend Barbaras place to anyone! Enjoyed the pool and the quiet coutry setting!

A great place to set up for exploring Gettysburg and enjoying the pool after a hot day at the reenactments. Location is just a few minutes outside of the town center. My kids loved the pool which we had to ourselves and Barbara keeps it very clean. The bedroom lacks windows but great if you want to sleep in. Barbara has thought of everything and this has everything you would need for an extended weekend stay or longer. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested.

If you are looking for a private secluded place within a close drive to Gettysburg, welcome home...this is the place. Welcoming owners who have taken part of their house and created a little efficiency space with wonderful outdoor area for sitting, swimming, grilling and a hammock to enjoy! The lot sits back off the road. There is ,a wonderful kitchen and dining area, full bathroom and a large enough bedroom for a oversized queen/twin bunk bed and a trundle bed. We slept 5 comfortably and we all had a blast playing in the pool! A great place to wind down after enduring the "battlefield". They also have a washer/dryer in the unit!

Great place to stay if visiting Gettysburg. Pool, well equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, and air conditioning made this a very comfortable stay for us. Barbara was very responsive to our questions and needs and the beds were also very comfortable.

We had a wonderful experience at Kristin's cabin. The communication with the host was easy and prompt. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was fully equipped and the bed was very comfortable. The cabin itself is tucked in the woods and provides complete privacy. The cabin had a nice surrounding and outside screenporch. Everything was so clean and we felt instantly like at home. This was definitely a 5-star experience!!! Hopefully we can come back one day.

Jewel of a Cabin is truly a Jewel! The cabin is set in a more rural location, which made it the perfect spot for the relaxing we so needed. It is also within easy travel distance of many great destinations. We visited Carlisle and Chambersburg over our weekend trip and had no trouble getting around. The cabin was neat, tidy and clean. There were movie and game choices, as well as necessary kitchen tools. The cabin truly felt like a home away from home!

Kristin was a great at sending us all the info we needed well in advance, and the cabin was very cozy and comfortable in a quiet and serene surrounding. We were only a 15min drive to the trails in Michaux and 20min to Gettysburg, which made the location ideal for us. We definitely look forward to coming back soon!

Kristin is a great host, very communicative and open. She does the utmost to make your stay comfortable. We loved the cabin in the woods, the quiet surroundings. Great spot if you want to visit Gerrysburg or the lakes nearby. We had a wonderfull stay in the Jewel Cabin, Thanks Ullrich familie for having us.

This is a well located cabin close to hiking and the history of the area. It is very clean and very much takes you back in time. Very quiet and serene.

Quiet, clean place to stay. The cabin was as described in the listing and Kristen was very helpful and responsive.

Perfect location to discover Gettysburg! Very comfortable and spacious, beautiful greenery, and yet excellent WiFi signal. Kristin's guide to the house and the region were very helpful!

Jewel of a Cabin is correct. This place exceeded our expectations in terms of cleanliness and ability to find. It is a cute little two bedroom home/cabin with much expected comfortable cabin decor. While we weren't able to spend as much time there as we wanted, it fit our weekend plans which were graduation at Gettysburg College (a bit more of a drive than the 20 minutes we thought)... Lovely place.

William and lisa were great hosts! They accommodated us even though we were arriving very late. The beds were so comfortable and the farm-guest house was a unique experience. Beautiful grounds, friendly cat, dog, and rooster made for a special stay.

This was the best Airbnb I've ever stayed at! The place was super cute, and William was a fantastic host! He was welcoming, friendly, and helpful! We plan to recommended to anyone thinking about going to Gettysburg to stay here. And it was a very easy drive to downtown Gettysburg and the visitor center. I can't say enough good things about this place and William!

So close to everything touristy to do! Just right down the road. Had a great time learning about the history of the house and Gettysburg too. Loved the roosters, the cute rooms, and beautiful nature setting at the house. I am sure we will be back again! Thanks for having us.

A few friends and I stayed here for a weekend to tour the battlefield. Bill and Lisa were great hosts who communicated with us very well before our arrival. They were great about giving advice on places to eat in town and nice spots on the battlefield, too! Great accommodations and wonderful hosts.

William's guest house is an excellent B&B for sightseeing in the Gettysburg area. Bill and Lisa are very gracious hosts, and the guest house is very kid-friendly, quiet and charming. Netflix is provided through their TV monitor.

Country side, green, roosters running, clean air, a gazebo, and the closeness to downtown Gettysburg (10 minutes) made this a great option for us. From the moment we arrived, Bill welcomed us and showed us around. The place was clean and organized with abundant commodities to make your stay super comfortable. Bill even baked muffins for us! We would love to come back.

My wife and I stayed at the Cock and Feather House recently during our overnight visit to Gettysburg. William and Lisa greeted us upon our arrival. They showed us around the house and shared a bottle of local wine with us outside in their gazebo. The home was spacious yet quaint and close to town. William and Lisa provided many resources to help plan our day and shared suggestions. We would definitely come back and stay next time we visit Gettysburg.

You will find your stay at the Cock & Feather to be a real treat. Everything is clean, neat and has a very homey feel to it. Upon entering the residence we found freshly baked blueberry muffins along with other essentials, both in the kitchen and the bathroom. All we had to do was unpack and we immediately felt at home. Bill and Lisa are the perfect hosts; they are accommodating, helpful and gracious. They were very informative in giving us suggestions on how to best enjoy our stay at Gettysburg. We would highly recommend a stay at the Cock & Feather.

The Barth was great! Peggy and her husband kindly delivered the motorhome to me, and gave me a through run down of how it works. They were easily reachable by phone if we had any questions. Barth is very clean and in great shape! For anyone who doesn't realize, there isn't a bedroom in the back like some mohos, but instead you are able to easily seat 8 people in the main area, with room to move around. It worked out perfectly for us, and we would definitely rent it again. Thanks Peggy!

Our stay with Karen and John was beyond perfection. Karen was attentive to every detail of our stay and could not have been a better host. Breakfasts were absolutely delicious and our accommodations were very comfortable. We loved sitting, relaxing, and talking with Karen and John. We especially appreciated the private Gettysburg tour that Karen helped us to organize. This was a far superior experience to our other Airbnb stays. It was the highlight of our trip in every way.

Karen and John are wonderful, genuine, fun loving hospitable people. I admired their hosting - delicious food, cold drinks, fruit for the road, CD for the battlefield tour - Incredible attention to detail. Thanks for everything. Chose their home for your Gettysburg visit. You'll be so glad you did.

What can I say? From the moment I arrived to the moment I left (with a full stomach from an amazing breakfast I might add), Karen and John made me feel welcome and at home. The house was perfectly located for my needs (Gettysburg tourism) and the room and bed were cozy. If I'm ever back, and I plan to be for a bit longer, I would definitely stay with Karen and John again. I would strongly recommend this listing.

From the moment I drove up the driveway, I knew I had picked the right place. Karen and John have lived in the are their whole lives and their kindness was never ending. On my wall in my room it says, Because Nice Matters. They live that. I am looking for a reason to return and spend some time on their porch. Wonderful people...lovely location, fabulous accommodations.

Karen made me feel comfortable and that her home was my home the instant I arrived from extra soft sheets to home baked goodies on the counter each day. The country neighborhood just outside of town was quiet, safe, relaxing and beautiful. Karen's binder of things to do in Gettysburg was big help as were her restaurant suggestions. We had a great time. Thanks.

A+ Secluded area short drive away from Gettysburg. If you are looking for somewhere close to Gettysburg we can highly recommend. Accommodation as described, Karen and John are really nice hosts and we felt at home. Thanks very much! Toby + Inga

Awesome hosts! I had such a good sleep and a fab breakfast! Thank you both so much , sorry I missed you in the evening - would have been fun! Extra special thanks for the cookies, doughnuts, fruit travel pack for the road!

The aptly named Charming Country Porch B&B is an idyllic country respite, ten minutes from the crowded, touristy downtown of Gettysburg where most B&B's are located. The beautiful hilltop view from the front porch surveys the large acreage of the family's farmland (non-working) property. It is a lovely place to eat breakfast and watch the morning sun shower golden light on the surrounding wheat fields. In the warm early July evening, I sat on the porch and watched hundreds of lightning bugs dance above the fields, with not a mosquito to spoil the lovely light show. The back porch faces a quiet wooded area and one can relax watching the setting sun scatter crimson-orange rays of light through the woods. The hosts, Karen & John, are warm, convivial and generous in their efforts to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. They seem less like proprietors and more like good-hearted friends sharing their home and hospitality. Upon arriving after a 6-hour drive, Karen sat me on a wooden rocking chair, and brought an assortment of refreshments and appetizing snacks, and after ascertaining my tastes and mood, recommended perfect places for lunch and dinner during my 2-night stay. My room on the second floor was clean, comfortable with a lovely well-stocked private bath with a large showerhead and "softened" water. Karen is a good cook and the breakfast was excellent. The next day, after a 2-hours afternoon tour of the spectacular battlefields on horseback, Karen noticed I was tired and immediately guided me to the woods where she quickly set up a large hammock for me to rest and relax. We had interesting chats during breakfast and late afternoons when refreshments were served on the front porch and I learned much about their familes' histories (both born and raised in Gettysburg), the family farmland and Gettysburg local history (Karen and John seem to know the owner of every establishment in Gettysburg). I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Gettysburg both equally for the visit to the battlefield and my interaction with Karen and John. I highly recommend the Charming Country Porch B&B to anyone visiting the Gettysburg area(URL HIDDEN)

My family, my sister's family and my parents visited the area for a family reunion. The house was spacious enough for all of us to have our own areas. There were toys for the kids to play with and beautiful grounds for them to explore. It was great to have the fully stocked kitchen so we could cook big meals rather than eating out our whole stay. We had a wonderful experience and would stay there again.

Beautiful country retreat with a great host! All the amenities and layout of the house is great for families or couples.
