We enjoyed the property. We found it very interesting and historic.Plenty of space for our group everyone had their own room. It’s a good starting point to see downtown Gettysburg and to go through the battlefield. We even had a dog in our group enjoyed playing in the yard and being able to wander the house. My family enjoys seeing new places and the adventures it brings, and this house did not disappoint.

Fun stay in Gettysburg!

This historic property was well located and provided plenty of space for us both inside and out. The bedroom and full bath on the first floor was really helpful for one member of our group who has mobility issues. The yard was a perfect place to walk our dogs. Daniel responded quickly to any questions or help that we needed. The kitchen is underequipped if you plan to cook meals there so I would bring cookware and a tea kettle when we return or partake of the many excellent restaurants in the area.

Tip in history

Although we did not experience any paranormal activity that stood out, our trip was very interesting. We loved the books and journals that were there to read and the property was outstanding. The host was prompt with all of our questions and very professional.

30th Birthday Trip

We had such a fun trip! Historic Rainworth Lodge was a cozy and convenient spot to rest after exploring the town and battlefields. Daniel was so accommodating and responded immediately to any questions we had. We enjoyed our time in the house and felt very comfortable. It was interesting to learn about the history of the place as well!

Spooky yet beautiful

This place is absolutely amazing to stay at! There's a lot of history with the house along with history of the town itself. For the price, you get a lot of privacy while still being close to town to experience all that Gettysburg has to offer! Daniel is a great host and makes getting to the property and being settled in a breeze. We look forward to returning next fall!

A yearly friends’ getaway was planned to include history, food and hang- out time. The location allowed easy access to Gettysburg battlefields, apple festival and farm stands. The large living and dinning rooms accommodated our group of six easily; the age of the house dating back to the Civil War was an added plus. Some disappointments included inadequate kitchen; the stove top only offered two working burners (all with caked-on grime) and the oven electronics did not indicate when/if/ or at what temperature was set. After inquiring with the host, who responded quickly, he explained the indicator is not functioning but assume 350 degrees. He is planning to fix it. We did successfully heat the casseroles but elected to eat out the following evening. Second issue- heat was not on and following instructions to set thermostat still had no success. A password was required which the host was unfamiliar with and he was unable to help us. By the morning temperature read 61 degrees- a little cold for my blood. Mold in first floor bath- soap dispenser in tub and grout moldy. Overall, it was a fun weekend in a very unique old house but basic conditions were inadequate and overpriced.

Battlefield Bash Weekend

Our weekend stay at the Historic Rainworth Lodge was Awesome!! We were in town for The Battlefield Bash & to explore Gettysburg. We stayed July 15th-17th for 2 nights. Our host Daniel was great!! He was timely with responses to questions leading upto & during our stay. We received our check-in message and when arrived , Daniel was just finishing up at the lodge making sure everything was ready for.our stay. He was kinda enough to give us a walking tour of the house and share information pertaining to the homes rich historical past even though we reviewed the listings Vrbo/Facebook page, which shares an abundance of information. Also please be sure to read Daniels detailed post about the property and grounds being as natural as possible. The Home was built in the early 1740s/1750s. Thank you Daniel We look forward to future stays!! Todd, Carmella, Matt, Lauri, Kelly Sector 12 Paranormal

Historical house with historical guests!

The house is quite welcoming inside and nicely appointed with period-style furnishings. It was extremely clean and quiet, despite its proximity to the road. The wooded area near the house provides a nice barrier to the road and the yard feels quite private. There is a definite feel to the home of having "otherworldly" guests, but there was a vibe to the place that was not at all menacing as in a previous review. I loved it and would stay again. Got some very interesting videos!! The owners were immediately responsive to any inquiries I had and we had no difficulty finding the home or getting in. My understanding is the owners have recently acquired the property and have done a lovely job with the interior, having noted in the description the exterior needs work. There was an adequate amount of plate service for our needs, but if we were to have a house full, there might need to be some additional items for cooking. If that's the only negative I have about the home, then its a win for me!!

3 night stay

Cannot say anything bad. Would have liked a recliner for the evenings lol. Was very quiet. Was very cool historically. I do not go out of my way for any paranormal experiences. Was not my motive. I am not really a believer in that kinda thing though I like being in places where a lot of people have passed though and have a passion for history and like to pass through the spaces those before have dwelled and enjoy in being in those same footsteps. I have also been in building construction all my life and career and enjoy seeing how things were constructed and renovated. Place does a really good job with leaving paperwork in drawers etc of the properties history. Take the time to go through it. I was not snooping for anything while I was there but decided last day to open some drawers. Do that day one. Not last day like me. Nice stay.

We booked this house for the history tour and ghost experience. When we arrived, we thought the home was abandoned. Easy to get inside, fairly clean (we thought the cobwebs were part of the ambience. Although, we were afraid to use the tub/ shower due to mold and standing water in the downstairs bathroom. Refrigerator is working, but old) The old chinking of logs and nostalgia throughout the house was evident. Very cool! This is a LODGE! MEN will love it, we women were a bit spooked. It's a work in progress.. The host wasn't able to give us the tour, bummer! So we made our own tour! Love the well by the porch!
