About this country house rental
Welcome to The Happy Hen!
Stay in the entire upstairs of a charming, fully renovated 100+ year-old farmhouse-just 10 minutes (8 miles) from downtown Gettysburg. With cozy decor, modern amenities, and wine country right around the corner, it's the perfect blend of historic charm and comfort.
The Space
The Happy Hen offers 4 bedrooms, 1 bath (with a stall-style shower), a well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable living space filled with antiques and local charm. Outside, unwind by the fire pit or enjoy a quiet evening under the stars.
Located within minutes of The Historic Cashtown Inn, Pennsylvania's top wineries, two state parks, ski slopes, and the historic Gettysburg Battlefield, this home is ideal for exploring the region.
The Hen is the entire upper level of our two-unit farmhouse. The lower level is The Rested Rooster. Each unit has its own private entrance, but the yard, fire pit, and charcoal grill are shared spaces.
Historic Charm
Built over a century ago, the farmhouse was thoughtfully renovated in 2016. The original wood floors, antique doors, and vintage fixtures remain, preserving the home's authenticity. Expect creaky floors, cozy corners, and character in every room.
Note: Due to its historic nature, the bathroom is compact, and there are a few low-clearance doorways (tall guests, duck!). The home sits close to the road, and traffic-including orchard trucks-can be heard. If you're sensitive to sound, we provide white noise machines and earplugs.
Sound carries between floors, much like in a hotel, but most guests are respectful of each other.
Important Notes
Departure procedures include: cleaning dishes, and taking out trash.
A signed rental agreement is required.
High-speed WiFi with unlimited data is included.
Pet Policy
We welcome pets with a $75 flat fee for the first and $25 for each additional. Our "Top Dog Package" includes:
Sanitized pet bed
Dry shampoo and paw wipes
Waste bags
Food/water bowls and placemat
Microfiber towels
Endless treat jar
The home is professionally treated for fleas/ticks and cleaned thoroughly between guests-including black light scans for accidents. Pets are not allowed on furniture..
Guest Access
Guests enjoy full access to the upstairs unit, the yard, fire pit, and shared grill.
Final Reminders
This is a historic home close to the road-expect some traffic noise.
If you're looking for character, convenience, and a touch of country life just outside Gettysburg, The Happy Hen is a wonderful place to roost.

The stay over all was uneventful. Rooms were ok. Dispute having insects getting in. Had a small issue with the electric, but it was addressed to
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2025
The Happy Hen was the perfect spot for my wife and I and our two children, aged 10 and 6. Minutes away from the battlefield, with a very convenient Dollar General just down the road, the HH was cozy and delightful. We intend to stay again in the future.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2025
It is a simple and beautiful set up on the 2nd floor. We enjoyed saying hello to the goats each time we arrived and everything was very smooth. The only oddity is that there are very few light switches several of the ceiling lights are turned on at the light. I would definitely stay here again. It was very convenient for how close it is to Gettysburg.

We stayed here in winter, and it was a lovely spot to get away for a few days. Many heaters were provided for optimal temperature customization.
