Simon and Susan stayed at the Cricket House in July of 2006 and wrote the following:

"Our stay at the Cricket House in Gettysburg was all we could wish for from a small, boutique-style guest house, and a lot more besides. The quality and attention to detail of all the rooms was distinctly attention-grabbing and the many items of beautiful furniture added a real soothing effect to returning after a long day touring the sights - a real home-away-from-home. The quiet-yet-accessible location was ideal for enjoying the downtown area on foot, while all the highlights are within easy driving distance. The owners certainly haven't skimped on the little luxuries like high-end toiletries and kitchen amenities. There were also plenty of extras which we didn't expect, like the magnificent Jacuzzi, steam-room and whirlpool tub (in the master suite), and even touches that added to the homey feel such as gourmet tea and coffee, and local wines. All in all, it added up to a wonderful little retreat at the end of the day that we were loathe to leave at the end of our stay! In all our travels, we have encountered a huge variety of different hotels, resorts and guests houses, but never anything quite this distinct and enjoyable.
