Thaddeus Stevens' Gettysburg Log Home

Be our guest in a beautiful piece of American history! Built in 1790, this log home exemplifies a page from our history books with original wood floors, walls and beams. Located just 5 minutes walk from downtown, Lincoln Square, the home was once owned by Thaddeus Stevens and sits with a front seat view of where the Confederates occupied West Middle Street during the Battle of Gettysburg. The home, while keeping it's historic character, also contains modern conveniences (central air conditioning, recessed lighting, fully updated kitchen and baths, etc.). The Thaddeus Steven's house has 3 cozy bedrooms (upstairs, 2queen, 1full) and 1 & 1/2 bathrooms. Perfect for a couple, family or group of friends! Join us in this gorgeous historical home as you explore Gettysburg! **Please keep in mind the home was built in a time, when people were smaller. Ceilings and doorways are low. The floors slant and creak. The closet space is limited. And the home may not be functional for people with certain physical mobility issues. Appreciate where you are--transported to a special time--imagine yourself in another era! Enjoy Gettysburg!

All the feels of Gettysburg
After a long day of touring the battlefield, this place was perfect to return to. Great location, modern amenities with an authentic, historical feel. The house was nice and cozy, the shower had great water pressure and the beds were comfy. We will stay here again!

Great location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the cabin. It was like borrowing a friend's special house. Host was very easy to communicate with, and check in instructions were clear, friendly, and helpful. Grocery store is super close, and it's less than a 10 minute walk to the center of town. Good off street parking, easy to get to and perfect location as home base for visiting all the historical sites.

We had a great 4 nights at the Thaddeus Stevens home! Sarah was great to communicate with, the house was cozy, and at a great location. The home had everything we needed, and we enjoyed spending time in the backyard. We would absolutely stay here again and cannot recommend it enough!

Genuine log cabin
As advertised, very rustic. Clean and neat. What you would expect in a 240 year old log cabin. But everything functioned and we were perfectly comfortable.

Met "The Experience" Expectations
Photos in the site do this property justice. It looked exactly as pictured so I did not need my GPS to tell me, "You have reached your destination". Although the property is right on the street, I expected a lot of road noise but tge town is very quiet at night and I did not hear any noise from the neighbors. The owners were very responsive to my texts and they left very detailed instructions on how to use everything, where to park, how to cleanup and history on the cabin itself. Thaddeus Stevens as a very interesting man. The only thing you will possibly need to remember to bring is a blow dryer and extension cords as outlets in the bedrooms are difficult to get to.

This property is a fabulous find for those wanting to stay within walking distance of downtown Gettysburg. We found the cabin to be quint, cozy, and very hospitable for us- very well outfitted. I would definitely recommend this for travelers who want to experience a little piece of history.
