Excellent location with an amazing history. House itself is very well kept and comfortable. We were able to walk more of the battlefield than our normal hikes being in the middle of this incredible location

We visited Gettysburg to retrace the steps of an ancestor who served in the 2nd Sharpshooters, NH Co. F. This unit was charged with impeding the Texas, Alabama, and Arkansas infantry as they moved towards Little Round Top. We had a memorable experience and learned a lot. To actually stay on the battlefield at Bushman Farm was amazing. The 2nd Sharpshooters were placed at the Slyder Farm to engage the Confederate troops moving towards Round Top. Amazing experience to stay right there.
The Bushman Farm itself was wonderful. Was clean and beautiful. We didn't cook a lot as our stay was short but the kitchen was very well equipped.
We would have loved to have had our daughter stay with us, but since she was travelling with her dog, that was not possible. This was disappointing but very understandable considering the historic significance of the property.

Our stay at the Bushman house was outstanding. We have been to Gettysburg many times in the past and stayed at several different locations. Staying on the battlefield in a historic house was very different. The house inside and out, is well maintaned. The inside has all the modern conveniences of home and the furniture and decorations make you feel like you are in a historic house. We loved the Bushman house and would highly recomend staying at the Bushman house.

My friends and I were thrilled to have been able to experience our precious US History, by staying at the Bushman Farm. We felt connected to the surroundings.
I have been traveling to Gettysburg for close to 30 years now, and this was one of the best experiences I have had! My, or should I say our, new goal . . .to stay at all the Houses & Farms available to lease on the Gettysburg Battlefield!
