Great Place to Stay
The Cricket House was a great place to stay for our first trip to Gettysburg. The battlefields were close by and many restaurants were within walking distance. We had one small mechanical issue during our stay and it was taken care of quickly. The beds very comfortable and everything was very clean. The host, Brian gave excellent recommendations for restaurants as well.

Annual Gettysburg Trip
Spent the weekend in Gettysburg exploring the city and rich history. The cricket house was perfect for the four of us (two adult couples). The whole place was super cute and well located for us. Short walk to the square, shops, and restaurants. The backyard was well landscaped and just adorable- probably my favorite feature of the home. The only *minor* note about the house was the water temperature; it was incredibly hot!

Great Place, Great Location
Loved the Cricket House - I would recommend it as a place to call home while visiting Gettysburg! It is close to the center of town and just a couple of blocks from many attractions.

Family Vacation
This was our 3rd stay at the Cricket House. We enjoy its proximity to the town square, the battlefield, and to the larger stores outside the older part of Gettysburg. This time we brought our 14 yr-old grandson for his first visit to Gettysburg. The house provided a clean, comfortable space for all three of us. Nice beds. The shower downstairs is large & the upstairs jacuzzi a treat. We made use of the smart TV in the evenings. We hope to stay again in the future.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at the cricket house. It was clean, comfortable, and as described. The location was excellent with lots to do and see within walking distance. The host answered questions ahead of our visit. I would stay again.
