Chance of a lifetime!! As a child, I always dreamed of staying in a home that witnessed the battle of Gettysburg. My dream came true. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity to stay in such a precious structure. I want to also express my sincere appreciation for Wanda Poole. Her assistance and support were top notch.

I am a passionate student of the Civil War, especially the battle of Gettysburg. Staying at the Bushman House was VERY special to me. I STAYED IN A HOUSE ON THE BATTLEFIELD ... AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR ME !! The house combines HISTORY with just the right degree of modern upgrades. I treated the property with extreme care and respect, as everyone should. I hiked the entire battlefield, and the Bushman Farm was an ideal location for me. Wanda Poole, the Leasing Agent, did a fantastic job finalizing my reservation, sending me the necessary information, and ensuring my stay was the best it could be. I plan to stay at the Bushman Farm again. Dean Morman, Ohio

This is an absolute must. For us, it was a bucket list event. To be able to stay in such a historic house, right in the middle of the second day battle, is a once in a lifetime experience. The interior of the house is beautiful and spacious. With the exception of the kitchen, you felt like you were stepping back in time. The location was peaceful and tranquil. We were greeted with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Sitting on the porch, you can feel the energy of what happened here.

It was a great experience topped off by staying right on the battlefield at the Bushman House with my two brothers and their wives (three Buschman brothers). It was quite fantastic in fact and all six of us felt the same about the experience. Wanda Poole did an outstanding job guiding me through the process and our tour guide, Jim Miller, was fabulous.

Incredible location! House is very well kept and very restful. Located right outside of town and easy to get to museums and restaurants. Looking forward to visiting again.
