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!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Take in the views from a garden.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The Thaddeus Log Home is a delightful historical residence ideally situated just a short walk from downtown Gettysburg. Unfortunately, the cleanliness left much to be desired, as we encountered cobwebs throughout the house, particularly under the furniture, which was also home to spiders. The upstairs bathroom countertop appeared worn and unstable, while the walls throughout the home showed signs of damage and could benefit from some care. Both bathrooms were missing a hand towel bar as well as a hand towel. Each of the three upstairs bedrooms featured queen beds that were quite hard and uncomfortable, despite the presence of mattress toppers. We also discovered several dishes that needed to be washed before use, including the coffee pot. Additionally, the shag rugs in most rooms looked like they hadn't been cleaned in ages. I did bring some of these concerns to the attention of our property contact, who offered an apology, but I felt it was important to share this review to help future guests prepare for their stay.

This historical home was so lovely to stay in to go along with our History vacation. It was nice to be within walking distance to several places to eat, drink, have coffee and shop. Sarah responded quickly with any questions I had. Thank you for allowing guests to stay in your home to soak up that era.

History can be real

We enjoyed our stay in Thaddeus Stevens' old log house. It is indeed old--sloping and creaking floors, tight spaces--but that's what you stay here for.

Girl reunion after 40+ years

Thaddeus Steven’s House was a warm welcoming home from the past. We enjoyed the ambiance of that history and yet had all the modern conveniences we are used to. We liked sitting out on the patio for coffee in the morning and coming back to relax after visiting the Gettysburg sites. The hosts are attentive and accessible for questions. Highly recommend.
