2 Bedroom Apartment in New Oxford

Welcome to your exclusive retreat, where history and charm intertwine to create an unforgettable experience in the heart of New Oxford, Pennsylvania. Nestled within the embrace of a property steeped in the legacy of the American Civil War, your guesthouse transports you to a bygone era while providing all the comforts of modern living.
As you step through the threshold, prepare to be transported back in time to 1794, the year this colonial home was built, a testament to the enduring spirit of American craftsmanship. What was once the kitchen and servant's quarters has been tastefully updated to modern amenities.
Your retreat boasts two bedrooms, offering a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation after a day of exploration. Grab a beverage and head to the covered deck overlooking the courtyard before turning in for the evening. Sink into plush linens and let the whispers of history lull you into a peaceful slumber, as you dream of the tales that echo through the halls of this storied estate.
But the allure of your guesthouse extends far beyond its walls. Just a short distance away lies the hallowed grounds of Gettysburg, where the echoes of cannon fire still resonate and the ghosts of the past roam. History enthusiasts will revel in the opportunity to explore this iconic battlefield, where the course of American history was forever altered. Stand in awe as you trace the footsteps of soldiers and generals and gain a newfound appreciation for the sacrifices that shaped our nation. Confederate General John B. Gordon and his staff occupied the house while passing through to York and Wrightsville before the Battle of Gettysburg. Well known abolitionist Thaddeus Stevens visited the home on multiple occasions visiting his friends the Hersh family.
And yet, the charm of New Oxford extends far beyond its historic battlefields. Known as the antique capital of Pennsylvania, this quaint town beckons with its charming streets lined with treasures waiting to be discovered. Take a leisurely stroll and peruse the offerings of the numerous antique shops that dot the landscape, each one offering a glimpse into the past and a chance to uncover hidden gems.
After a day of exploration, return to the comfort of your guesthouse, where serenity awaits amidst the hustle and bustle of the town. With private off-street parking at your disposal, you can rest easy knowing that your vehicle is secure as you unwind and reflect on the day's adventures.
Whether you're here to immerse yourself in history, indulge in antiquing adventures, or simply escape the rigors of daily life, your colonial guesthouse offers the perfect backdrop for a truly memorable getaway. Book your stay today and embark on a journey through time in the charming town of New Oxford. Your next great adventure awaits.

Summary: The place was lovely, clean, roomy, and conveniently located. That would be enough for a five star review. But there is more. The hosts went above and beyond! They were so helpful and gracious when something of ours was accidentally sent there after we left to send it back!

Summary: Our stay was awesome! We stayed for a week and there still was so much more to see and do. The house is located close to Historic down town Gettysburg as well as Hanover and York. The house comes with a full kitchen, washer/dryer, TV, Two very large beds, a full bathroom, Gas grill, and a very nice picnic area with fire pit. Oh and almost forgot the private balcony. There is so much around to do from Horseback riding through the battlefields to Hersey Park/ Outlet malls being only an hour away. There is antique stores every where around. The hosts of Barker House were so nice we would definitely go back again. Sorry but the rating system doesn't go high enough to tell you how nice our stay was at the Famous Barker House..
