The Gettysburg Retreat is a Pre-Civil War 2 story Gable front house. Built in 1853 it was originally owned by William Steinhour. Steinhour owned the house until 1859, then sold to Henry and Mary Zeigler in 1860, then repurchased by William Steinhour in 1864. It was later bought in 1868 by William Z. Little and then sold in 1872 to James Caldwell. The house was later passed down to Little's heir in 1873. One thing interesting about the house, is in the first 2 blocks of West Middle Street. You will find several Civil War houses towards downtown Gettysburg, but as you reach The Gettysburg Retreat, the house beside it was the last house in town until you get to Seminary Ridge during the Civil War. The land Gettysburg was founded on was originally owned by William Penn. Penn would later sell the land to town founder James Getty. The Gettysburg Retreat was the 127th lot of land allocated to Getty in the exchange. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Close to skiing - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Lobster/crab pot - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washer/dryer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Visual alarms in hallways - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property - Note from host: Smoking outside only ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city centre - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near an outlet shopping centre ### Things to do - Golf - Snow sports gear - Water park - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Kayaking nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Mountain climbing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Theme park nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Bed sheets changed on request - Housekeeping (on request) - Recycling - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 1,750 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27120000/27117200/27117188/ba3b1ef5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Perfect Location: Historic Downtown Guesthouse Gettysburg Historic District - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 253 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=27117188&PinnedHotelID=27117188&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105350000/105346900/105346868/e320098b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Grand Strickhouser Manor c.1853 – Private Downtown Home – Free Parking Gettysburg Historic District - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 27 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-11&endDate=2025-10-12&selected=105346868&PinnedHotelID=105346868&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace, DVD player, video library](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96030000/96020600/96020564/4115e647.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gettysburg Carriage House 252 Baltimore Street Rear House ~Entire House Rental!
