The Gettysburg Retreat is a Pre-Civil War 2 story Gable front house. Built in 1853 it was originally owned by William Steinhour. Steinhour owned the house until 1859, then sold to Henry and Mary Zeigler in 1860, then repurchased by William Steinhour in 1864. It was later bought in 1868 by William Z. Little and then sold in 1872 to James Caldwell. The house was later passed down to Little's heir in 1873. One thing interesting about the house, is in the first 2 blocks of West Middle Street.

Perfect location, charming home The home is clean and comfortable with a well appointed kitchen, period decor, and room to spread out. It's within walking distance of many shops, bars, restaurants and Gettysburg curiosities. The grocery store across the street is convenient. And the dedicated parking is appreciated.

Great stay at Gettysburg Retreat We had six people stay at the house and had plenty of room for all of us to fit comfortably. The house is fully furnished, very close to all the shops and restaurants, and has a convenient grocery store across the street. We enjoyed all of the Civil War relics, books, and photos that are placed in the house. Communication with Sandee was excellent and the process to check in and out was great. I would recommend the Gettysburg retreat if you are looking for a civil war era home that is clean, spacious, and convenient to the downtown area.
