About this property

Historic Victorian in the heart of Gettysburg!

You'll love the historic Victorian Rose, built in 1892 and fully renovated! Ideal location--just half a block off the main street and 1 block below the beautiful town square. Luxuriate in 3 gorgeous bedrooms, one luxury bath and one ornate powder room half-bath. The gourmet kitchen is newly remodeled; beautiful living room with sumptuous dining room. Brand new central Air Conditioning and heating--no radiators. Walk to battlefields, museums, stores, and restaurants.

Travel back in history to the High Victorian in this period-perfect décor. The best designer touches have been added to give you an authentic experience of history, with all the modern conveniences tucked in.

This house is historically significant because it was built for Catherine Culp, daughter of Henry Culp, and was close enough for her to walk to her mother's home, situated on the famous Culp's Hill. There are genuine period antiques here, and every room is decorated faithfully in Victorian style and luxury.

With this ideal location, you can walk to the Lincoln Town Square, the battlefields, Gettysburg College, the shops and restaurants. Yet the street is quiet at night and you can enjoy the peacefulness of the gracious porches and the lovely back garden. There is private parking for 2 cars at the back of the property--very valuable so close to all the main attractions! No worries about parking meters and tickets here. Just a fabulous opportunity to enjoy historic Gettysburg with family and friends.

Minimum 30 days stay.

Another great stay!
We actually stayed at this house twice this summer. We love it. It is clean and the location is great. The parking space alone is worth the stay there. There is plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have their own little part of the house. We can't wait to go back again next year!

The perfect place to stay in Gettysburg.
I honestly don’t think there’s a better place to stay in Gettysburg! This beautiful home is located in close proximity to shops, restaurants, and attractions. We walked to almost everywhere we wanted to go. Private parking is a huge bonus! The house is in town but there is so much privacy. I especially loved reading the Gettysburg books that were provided. Thank you for making our visit to Gettysburg so wonderful!

2nd stay, perfect!
This was our 2nd stay in this home. It was absolutely perfect for our group of 5. Close to the Diamond, museums, shops and restaurants. And easy to park and access the battlefield. May favorite things about this house is the lovely kitchen with all things needed, the dining area, and the cozy furniture throughout.

Absolutely wonderful!
Everything about this property was perfect! Clean, beautifully decorated. It was just a very quaint, cozy atmosphere. We are already looking at the calendar to book another stay! Additionally, although the Victirian Rose was located on a quiet street, we could easily walk to the shops and restaurants. Thank you!

Simply Perfect
We are a group of high school buddies separated by 46 years or so and distance who recently decided to meet up once a year. Having an interest in history, what better place than Gettysburg for 3 or 4 days. The house has that period feel. It was immaculate with all the modern conveniences. Large spacious rooms, inviting back yard. Our visits to the Gettysburg Museum, Battlefield and Cemetery were made all the more memorable by the accommodations. Its location right in the middle of the town was perfect for site seeing other sites and plenty of choices for dining. All of us could not more highly recommend this rental and we thank the owner for making this available.

Remembrance weekend
Lovely restored home in a nice neighborhood very convenient to walk to main streets and school to join the parade lineup. Initially it was just3adults but ended up adding 2 teen g kids and adult cousin at last minute. Comfy beds, well appointed with everything needed. Youngest got pullout couch that was a night owl. Walk in tiled shower with dual sinks and commode upstairs and a darling little 1/2 bath downstairs beneath the stairs on 1st floor. Kitchen was stocked and well appointed-perfect for early risers at the 4 bar style chairs or for the large dining table in adjacent room which was perfect for our staging area for ballgown prep. 1 large hall closet was perfect upstairs for ballgowns. Sunny and inviting with wood blinds and diffused with lace curtains.Clean homey/cottages, which is what I was looking for. Parking for 2 vehicles at the back of property easily accessible through the back yard. Felt safe and was clean and tidy. The front porch with 2 chairs was a nice rest spot even in nov with the sun out. Quiet neighbors on one side we never saw and a small parking area on other. We did the sheets and towels before we left in the stacked w&d in kitchen prior to leaving and picked up and took care of garbage in the markedbins in our parking area. A nice fenced in back yard gave privacy to the gate to our parked cars. Would definitely stay again!!

This house surpassed our expectations. The owner was very responsive. She thought of every detail to make this house comfortable with modern amenities yet with period decor. The location couldn’t be any better literally around the corner from the town square and walkable to everything.

The Victorian Rose is a Victorian Gem!
The house is beautiful and looks better in person! The location is amazing with a short walk anywhere in town. The amenities are like staying at a friend's house. Carla is one of the best owners we have rented from. We appreciate being able to share this beautiful home and can't wait to come back! We already have our next reservation booked!

Charming backyard, well stocked kitchen for cooking (pots, pans, utensils), dining room table (was not in pics) perfect for meals and game nights. Beds were comfortable and shower amazing.

Beautiful Historic Stay Close to Downtown
Our family loved everything about this home. The house itself was beautiful, spacious, and in a great location for everything we had planned for the 156th anniversary (as well as some awesome game nights)! We were able to zip over to the house between our battle walks during the day and walk into town to shop and dine in the evenings. Carla was amazing and prompt in answering our questions. There are too many amazing things to say about this property! We will definitely be back to visit the historic Victorian Rose in Gettysburg!

About the host

Host profile image
Making houses beautiful is what I love to do! I find homes in need of renovation in places I truly enjoy, fix them up so I would love living in them, and offer them to vacationers. I spend months living in each property myself, so I make sure it feels good and everything works well. For me, there is no such thing as "just a rental." Everything is top-notch.
I'm fifth generation from Hawaii, living most of the time in the San Francisco Bay Area when I'm not in one of the vacation homes. I'm a lifelong entrepreneur & philanthropist, married, and mother of nearly grown twins.

Why they chose this property

I discovered the beauty of Gettysburg when my son started at Gettysburg College. It's such an amazing historic town, different from anything I'd known before, and I fell in love with this town, its people, its history, and this adorable Victorian house. It's been a true labor of love to bring the Victorian Rose to its high level of beauty, safety, and comfort.

What makes this property unique

This house lets you experience history in the High Victorian era as you explore the rich history of Gettysburg. It will be easy to imagine yourself having high tea in 1892 with other civic leaders of this town. You will get to enjoy a unique luxury for your stay, in a house that will wrap your family and friends in comfort.
