review of General's Hideway
We enjoyed our stay at General's Hideway. Everything we needed was there and the property was perfect for our pet. We also appreciated the way you organized the restaurants in your information book making it very easy to find everything and there were plenty of hooks in the bathroom. I think the biggest draw for us was the closeness to the Gettysburg battlefield which was extremely convenient. Thank you for being so thoughtful for your guests.

Great idea lace to stay
This house is in a great location for easy access to Gettysburg. We brought two of our dogs and they love the place. It can get a little chilly downstairs, but nothing an extra sweatshirt can’t fix. Great communication with owner!

Loved the General’s Hideaway
My BIL and I used this property as our base for exploring the town of Gettysburg and the Battlefield. When we were home it was very spacious. There was enough room for both of us to have some alone time. The property is close to the road, so on a couple of occasions we could hear the traffic. Not an issue at night because we were so tired.

Nice stay near Gettysburg.
We rented the house for our one night stay in Gettysburg. The house was very clean and comfortable. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting outside at the table and then playing pool in the evening. I would definitely stay again if I was in the area.

Great place to stay while visiting Gettysburg
The General's Hideaway is near enough to be handy to Gettysburg yet far enough away to be private and served by Uber Eats. Our hostess was wonderfull. The cottage was extremely clean and well appointed with everything you need. Just bring your cloths and food. You dont need anything else. Even your pets are greeted with treets and toys.We will be back.

Cute Gettysburg Country House!!
Very cute place, we had fun playing a game of pool too. The owners even provided a book which included things to do around the area, places to eat, wineries to visit and fun tours to go on. The owners are very detail oriented and we had everything provided for us that we needed during our stay. I would highly recommend staying here!!

Nice place
This is a really cute place and especially great if you are traveling with pets. Really clean and well stocked. It was perfect for us, but we were out all day and really only there to sleep. Beds were comfortable too.
