Comfortable and Clean, Nice Location
The house and property are clean and well kept. Great layout with the rooms. Light traffic flow. Enjoyed seeing the deer in the yard or across the street in the morning. (Got to see two fawns feeding from their mama right around the corner from the house.) Super easy drive in and out of Gettysburg. The only suggestion I would make is to bring a flashlight if you think you’ll be out after dark. While there is some outdoor lighting, we preferred more around where our vehicle was parked. Personal preference not a dealbreaker. The property host was very responsive and super easy to communicate with.

Gettysburg trip
We have stayed at many VRBO houses, and this by far was the cleanest home we have stayed in. No dust on the floors, or in the corners, the bathrooms spotless as well. The pictures on line are exactly what the house looks like. All the bedrooms are nice size. Kitchen and dining rooms are great. We had a small power outage, contacted the home owner and someone was there to fix the issue within 2 minutes. Could not have asked for better communication with the owner. My family discussed how nice it would be just to go to this house for a week of doing nothing but relaxing. Thank you for allowing us to experience this wonderful property. The Shaffer Family

Great Ski Weekend
We had a lovely stay at the Yellow Ski Lodge - easy 5 minute drive over to Liberty and a very comfortable property. My one complaint with Liberty is that their accommodations are limited. This property offered close access with some space and farm fresh eggs! Great stay, thank you!

loved the chickens
stayed at this home due to our son and his wife expecting a baby and they live in this area. Home was nice and big. Lots of room for 3 grandchildren under the age of 7. the kids loved the chickens wondering around. Weather could have been better since it rained and was foggy 2 of the days we stayed there. No can opener that we could find. Would have been nice to have more kitchen towels. We ran out of paper towels and toilet paper but lasted until we left. One bedroom has bathroom, but the sink is in the bedroom which was kind of awkward but functioned just fine. Was not a deal breaker. Beds were comfy and all made up with sheets and quilt comforters. Overall a lovely experience was had by all.

Two Night Stay to visit Gettysburg
The property is in a rural setting and met our expectations. It would have been nice to have a washing machine but this was not listed as part of the property.

Weekend golf trip
Nice property in the country. Very peaceful. Rooms were nice. No central A/C so if you're renting in the summer, it may be warm in some if yhe bedrooms. Overall nice place to stay with chickens on property and possibility of fresh eggs!

Great location with wonderful space!
Adorable home with tons of living space! Beautiful sunroom, big living room with loads of space and an oversized dining room with a peaceful view of the pond. The location was perfect for spending the holiday in Taneytown with family! It was also a convenient location to get to Fairfield and Gettysburg for shops and restaurants. We won’t hesitate to come back again!
