Perfect Location: Historic Downtown Guesthouse

NO ORDINARY ADDRESS

Built in the 1840's and newly renovated, this 2-level, 4-bedroom Italianate-style townhome apartment reflects the Federal majesty of the mid-1800's, and the individualistic expressions of post-Civil war Gettysburg. Street-facing windows on the main level are accentuated with stained glass, creating a feel-good rainbow effect in the common area parlor and dining room.

Bedrooms on the first and second level pay tribute to the owners' family heritage. Take your pick from the Charles, Chastang, Earley or Hughes bedrooms. Like the people whose names they bear, each room has its own personality and ambiance.
A major upgrade is the amazing chandelier-adorned spa bath that lets you know this is no ordinary Gettysburg address... This is The LaVerne Guesthouse.

Located one-half block from Lincoln Square and three doors down from the historic Wills House, The LaVerne is within walking distance to dining, antiquing, shopping, and the theater. This guesthouse is appointed with all the basics you need to feel at home, including kitchenware, towels, linens and paper products.

The property will be cleaned and ready for your arrival; however, there is no daily housekeeping service. Therefore, we respectfully request that you maintain the home in a neat and orderly fashion, wash any dishes used in the kitchen and spot clean when necessary.

This is our second home in Gettysburg. We welcome only guests who are willing to respect our property as if it is their own. This is why we will rent only to families or couples. Please do not inquire if you intend to use our home as a “party pad.” We have a property manager who will respond immediately if you ever need assistance during your stay.

LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION - LOCATION

Your stay at The LaVerne Guesthouse puts you in the heart of everything Gettysburg is known for. Whether it's sightseeing, nightlife, performing or cultural arts, cinema, vintage or contemporary shopping, fine dining or artsy coffee houses...You can walk there from here!

Leave your car in your private parking space and take a walking tour of the pre and post-Civil War era architectural styles in the Gettysburg Historic District. And don't forget to check the schedule for nightly performances or frequent art shows right in the neighborhood. Or, catch the bus for a short ride to the battlefields and visit the Civil War Museum.

If you do decide to take a drive, visit the nearby Gettysburg Outlet Stores...or tour one of the close-by wineries. Whatever your itinerary, your stay will be in the perfect location. The LaVerne Guesthouse... a home of historic distinction.

This place was beautiful, right in the heart of the square. If you have bad knees, this place is not for you. There are a lot of stairs. The place was perfect for a girls getaway. The rooms were large and accommodated our party of 7.

Wonderful location and stay!
This property is absolutely fantastic! Myself and my four friends stayed here for a two night trip to Gettysburg. The house / apartment was in pristine condition when we arrived. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were clean and there was enough room for all of us comfortably. We were able to meet the owner and she was fantastic. This place is easy to walk from to get to local attractions, we even went on a ghost tour while we were there. Don't hesitate to book this accommodation.

Clean home in great location!
Did a family trip with 4 adults and 2 seniors. It was great to be able to walk outside in the heart of Gettysburg with grocery, shopping, and great restaurants close by! The home was just as the pictures show and was very spacious for 6 of us. Only 2 downsides to this place. First it is all on the upper floor of a building so if you have elderly folks who don't navigate stairs well, this would be a problem as climbing stairs is the only way in. Also, the upper bedroom mattresses are very uncomfortable. If these were updated this would be a primo place to stay. All in all it was very satisfacy and we would definitely book this place again. Also, the host was very quick to answer a couple of questions I had.

A few things
Things to consider: All the upstair doors squeek. Hard at night to sleep with toilet use. Only 1 small frying pan More hooks in bathrooms A table, chair or another counter in upstairs bathroom to place change of clothes and toiletries Both showers need no slip mats or strips. Aluminum foil Bedrooms need two lamps each.

Great Place in Gettysburg
This was our third time staying at the LaVerne Guest house. Every time check in is easy and the house is perfectly clean and nicely decorated. The location is the best, just steps from the center of town. It’s the perfect place for a family with a bunch of kids that can't fit into less than 3 hotel rooms.
