We do allow nightly rates however due to dates and booking capacity we reserve the right to block certain days. Weekends are a minimum of 2 nights. Little History The Freckled Farmhouse is a Historic home that is over 100 years old. Historic homes back then had minimal ways to sound proof between floors and ceilings due largely to the design. You will find that noise travels and will hear the upstairs guests in your group. To aid with light sleepers we do offer earplugs for light sleepers and a sound machine. The Historic home sits one block back from a main intersection for orchard trucks and traffic going either to HWY 81 or HWY 15 with that means there will be road noise at times usually in the summer and fall. The location also makes it extremely convenient to get around. The Farmhouse itself is located very close to the intersecting road as old farmhouses were built before the roads. There is a fence running along side of the road. We do except pets for a $75 flat pet fee. That is for the first pet and then each additional is $25. With that comes our Top Dog Package. Obviously while you're enjoying your vacation rental your pup should not have to Ruff it! We provide to use while your at the rental a sanitized pet bed, dry shampoo, Paw wipes, pet waste bags, food and water bowls, pet placemat, microfiber pet towels, and our signature endless treat jar.

Lovely home but some issues.
This is a cute property but there were some issues. The biggest being that there were mice who got into the food and one lady found a roach in her bag. I did contact the owner about the mice. They said it’s an old house and that they could come and set some traps. Yes of course I understand that it’s an old house but knowing that I would expect things to be addressed BEFORE we showed up. Traps would mean we then had to deal with dead mice. No thank you! There was also window unit air conditioners that were still in the window and not at all sealed, just placed in, allowing cold air to come through. It was November and quite chilly, especially at night. As well there was a yellow jackets nest outside one window and they were coming in through the unsealed areas trying to get away from the cold. There was also a large black area of mold in the ceiling tiles directly above the shower. Overall it just seemed like the house needed more upkeep.

Perfect place at perfect time of year
Group of buddies touring the battlefield together for a week. The Freckled Farmhouse was the perfect place to stay. Such a beautiful time of year. We enjoyed the fire circle every night. We each had a room. Lots of space, lots of privacy. We had a terrific time!

Perfect family getaway
This was a beautiful, cozy farmhouse for our entire family to gather together as we celebrated our daughter graduating from Gettysburg College. The house was very spacious, clean and stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed visiting with our neighbors the goats and playing Scrabble and UNO in the family room. Our host was very quick to respond when we reached out with a question. I would highly recommend and hope to return in the future!

Annual Gettysburg Trip
Had a wonderful time! Enjoyed the simplicity and charm of the farmhouse. We didn't know the owners also owned the Cashtown Inn. Upon discovery, we arranged a tour. Jeremy also visited us at the Rested Rooster and shared history of the farmhouse and surrounding area not necessarily related to the Battle of Gettysburg. We would definitely come back. Danielle and Jeremy have wonderful communication and the place is so inviting. Thank you!

My family and friend's we're looking for a rental where we could all stay together. We had the entire Freckeked Farmhouse and having a bedroom on the downstairs floor was a blessing for me as I had an incident prior to my Gettysburg trip. The location of the home was perfect, very peaceful country atmosphere, and truly felt like home. We enjoyed sitting around the firepit and listening to nature. The hosts went well beyond what we expected, they are true gems. We had a awsome time and have already discussed a possible retun trip next year. Rhonda, family and friends.

I like the fact that this property supplied towels, bed linens, silverware, cups, etc. that made it less burdensome on us. This property was very spacious as well, it had plenty of rooms and sitting areas which was ideal for our group. The Management Team was very nice, kind, and helpful, they really went out of their way to make us feel welcomed. I highly recommend The Freckled Farmhouse if you are in that area.

Farmhouse close to Gettysburg...
Plenty of room for our three-families totaling 14 & our three dogs. Everyone had their own room and the two living rooms is a plus. Plenty of room to stretch out. House looked just like the pictures. The house was clean, and the beds were comfortable. Farmhouse was stocked with everything you needed. Easy check in and out. House owners gave suggestion on places to visit and eat. The farmhouse is close to wineries and downtown Gettysburg.

Great stay at the Farmhouse
We loved the house, it was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. The location was only 15 minutes from Gettysburg and other tourist sites. We live in a busy city so the traffic noise at night near the house didn’t bother us. I texted the host several times during our stay, they responded quickly and were very helpful. Would reserve again if in the area.

Lovely house with great access Accommodations. We had seven people and each of us had our own bedroom. The house was well stocked, very comfortable, and in a great location for visiting the Gettysburg national battlefield. The owner also offered a tour of Cashtown, which we took advantage of, and was very interesting.

Another great family memory
We were in "town" to attend my brother's granddaughter's wedding. We were a total of 17 people, all family. We rented both upstairs and downstairs. We enjoyed the farmhouse 'venue' and prepared meals in both kitchens (needed for 17 people). We had a campfire one evening. As the kids/grandkids departed over the last couple of days, all thought we had a great family event at the Freckled Farmhouse. We would do it again. The hosts were exceptional! That just added to this great experience.

Even though house was very spacious it had a cozy feel. My grandkids loved all the porches, the balcony and the "secret" doors that "led to nowhere". The property was well stocked with plenty of dishes, utensils, and such. The hosts were very accommodating, offering early check in once the house was ready. They also provided a little history on the house which was nice. Everything was as advertised. Only minus I can think of is the house is very close to a very busy road with cars flying by. This was not something that bothered us but may bother others.
