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!

A piece of history
My friend & I loved staying at the Thaddeus Stevens House. The house was well stocked and very cozy. The location is perfect, within walking distance to the shops and restaurants.

Home Away from Home
We think Thaddeus Stevens himself would have loved this log house. We certainly did during our 3 day stay. Cozy and well decorated. A well equipped kitchen with dishwasher. Close to downtown and just steps away to a local grocery. The owner, Sarah, is truly exceptional! Helped us in so many ways including making sure our kitchen skillet was returned to us after we accidentally left it in a cupboard. Hats off to Sarah, and a great little getaway!

Back to Gettysburg we go!
Growing up in the Gettysburg area, I developed a love of history not only for the Civil War, but among other sites across the U.S. Our friends and my husband and I visited Gettysburg during the month of April, and loved every minute of it! The Thaddeus Steven’s house was a gem! The house was comfortable and we appreciated the historic ambiance that Sarah and John created for their guests. So nice to be able to walk pretty much everywhere uptown and down Baltimore Street and Steinwehr Ave. Visited some museums that had recently opened that we had never been too. All well done! Might we come back again and stay in this house? Yes!

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.

Excellent stay!
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.
