Wonderful House and Location

The house was excellent - just as described. It was spacious, comfortable and gave us the historic feel we were looking for in the heart of Gettysburg. Location was ideal allowing easy walks to the Gettysburg circle, the battlefield and many options for dining / shopping. We enjoyed it immensely and would not hesitate to go back to the Barclay House in the future.

Wing Crew Trip

The Barkley House worked great for us. We could walk wherever we wanted to go, we were that central. The house was well furnished, We are 4 couples that get together every week, all 70+, & we take a trip every year together. This fit our needs very well & is a spacious, well taken care of, pre 1900 home. Thank you for sharing this home with us

Great house in a great location!

We are repeat guests at the Barclay House and we love staying there! It’s very centrally located and an easy walk to shops and restaurants and right on the edge of the battlefield. The house is very spacious and comfortable and has plenty of room to hang out! Would highly recommend and come back again!

Fantastic find

The house was perfect in all ways. Convenient to Gettysburg downtown and battlefield. Comfortable and spacious. Quiet backyard and off street parking. Just make sure your car has good ground clearance before you go into the garage. We were fine in a Subaru Outback but a regular car would have trouble.

50th College Reunion

We were a group of 73 year old women who came to Gettysburg to celebrate our 50th College Reunion. We could not have been more pleased with the property! It is beautifully decorated and spacious. It is within walking distance of the College, the Square, Restaurants, etc. We just kept marveling all weekend about what a great place it was!

Perfect place for large group

We had a great time at the Barclay House and will definitely rent again for future trips! It was a beautiful place right in the heart of Gettysburg. The back parking was so convenient to get to and we never had to fight for a spot on the street. The house was everything we needed. One note: we had a carrier on the top of our van which prevented it from fitting in the garage. We were able to park on the street behind the garage, however. Also, we had another vehicle that sits pretty low to the ground, a regular sedan, that scraped along the garage floor when we tried to park in there. I believe a regular SUV or other slightly higher type vehicle would be fine.
