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!

History can be real

We enjoyed our stay in Thaddeus Stevens' old log house. It is indeed old--sloping and creaking floors, tight spaces--but that's what you stay here for.

Girl reunion after 40+ years

Thaddeus Steven’s House was a warm welcoming home from the past. We enjoyed the ambiance of that history and yet had all the modern conveniences we are used to. We liked sitting out on the patio for coffee in the morning and coming back to relax after visiting the Gettysburg sites. The hosts are attentive and accessible for questions. Highly recommend.

Wonderful historic building close to downtown Gettysburg. Stairs to second floor difficult to navigate for an older person. Hospitality by owner was excellent. Giving up a few amenities to be in such a historic setting was well worth it!

Historic Home

Nice historic home in the heart of Gettysburg. Read the description as it is very accurate. We stayed during a hot spell so the upstairs was a little warm but the provided fans helped. Everything needed was provided. Make sure to read the logs of previous guests. Overall a great stay would recommend to others.
