It's a beautiful and charming cottage with amazing amenities and Debi, the owner and hostess, is the best. When... More

The owner is one of the nicest people I've met and will do anything to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. The house is clean and nicely furnished with one of... More

My family and I love the Cricket House and all the amenities it offers! It is so convenient to everything, but more importantly, offers delightful charm and comfort at a wonderful price!

“Healing Space”

Reviewed July 2, 2012

I felt pampered, safe, relaxed and healed after an all-too-short weekend at The Cricket House. Everything lent itself to a feeling of serenity: the owner Debi's kind, welcoming demeanor, the historic yet updated feel of the property, the infrared sauna, Reflexology, Jacuzzi, Thai massage....ahhh. I love to walk, and the battlefields were literally across the street; I love to shop... More

My family and I have stayed at Cricket House many times. It has the best location, amenities and charm of any Gettysburg location. Add to this the warmth and friendliness of Deb & Barney; the former always happy to help with restaurant ideas & area attractions, the latter a delightful Cavalier tolerate and sweet to children. Don't miss this treasure!

The house is located in a prime spot but completely private and safe. We are a family of four with two small children. We have stayed in all of the hotels and find them accomodating. But not the same or even comparable. The kids color in the garden, rest on the back porch and cool off inside before we take... More
