Just south of the town is the location where the film Gettysburg was filmed. It's now the location for reenactments each year that depict the three-day battle which changed the course of American history and had a great influence on the American Civil War.

Typically, the reenactment is during the actual anniversary--the Fourth of July weekend (it happened July 1-3, but assume it's near that date that the reenactment occurs) but this year it rained and the reenactment was moved to August. The crowds were much smaller, but it was still a good experience.

"This place is tucked away in a beautiful wooded area with steps leading down to a creek, we enjoyed a fire at night, saw a ton of wild life. Inside was cozy and they had everything we needed for our stay and then some. "

"We had a couple of minor issues which were resolved within 6 hours. Cute little cottage close (10 to 20 minutes) to most sights in Gettysburg. Hot tub not being clean and a couple of ants in the cottage are the only reasons that it was a 4 out of 5."

"The property was great for staying at while skiing in the area. Having the fenced in back yard was great!"

"We truly loved this little cottage and was perfect for our stay while visiting family and friends. We took several walks in the area, enjoyed the quiet and the adorable space. The beds were very comfortable. The cottage was very clean and nicely remodeled. We will hopefully be able to rent here again at our next visit! Owner was very responsive and helpful as well. Only was missing a blowdryer, but I improvised! "

"Clean and comfortable. Great stay, Host was very nice. Rural type of community and towns that is close (just over 50 miles form DC area) Upclose to all the horses."

"Cozy remodeled property. Plenty of space for 9 adults and teens to celebrate Christmas. George is a great host. Highly recommend. "

"The property is very remote, which is not sufficiently described in the ad. By this I mean NO CELL PHONE service within a 10 mile radius. There is NO WIFI service. Totally unsafe for BIPOC travelers and you will not be able to communicate with the outside world. Not as described at all and no accommoadation for the discrepancy between what is advertised and what is actually there"

"Beautiful property, excellent stay! "

Hotel Gettysburg

10/10 Excellent

"Grey place to stay, the staff are all friendly and helpful. The rooms were pretty spacious and clean. I would definitely stay here again. "

Colton Motel Gettysburg

10/10 Excellent

"This is value for the money. Older? Yes. A bit rough around the edges? Yes. But location here is great, within walking distance along the main drag. Fancy? Certainly not but the rooms were clean, the water hot when needed, the AC was perfect, the pool was clean as well. The staff, top marks for working with what they have. And that by no means is meant as an insult. Book a room at this old school motel, save some dollars, enjoy your stay. "
