Happy National Relaxation Day! We’re on board with slowing down and taking some time to unwind. Focusing on self-care and relaxation can lead to better productivity so it’s just what the doctor ordered. Kick your feet up today…at least a portion of it. 😉

🎉 Celebrating 4 Years of Blue Coat Cottage! Although this cute cottage was built in 1910, it’s only been a vacation rental since 2020.

This cozy haven has become a place of respite, where guests from near and far rest their heads after exploring Gettysburg’s history. We’ve poured our hearts into creating a space that feels like home to all who visit.

We’re incredibly grateful for the support and love we’ve received from our guests, friends, and the Gettysburg community. Your kind words have made this journey truly special.

Thank you for being a part of our Blue Coat Cottage family!

This family was passing through for the night on their way up north. What a sweet review! We love exceeding expectations.

One of my favorite views at Blue Coat Cottage is right outside the back door. Imagine the pleasant sounds of singing birds, the bleating of sheep at the nearby farm, and the feel of the breeze gently blowing across the fields and through the trees. We invite you to check out the hundreds of 5 star reviews on Airbnb, VRBO and Houfy and read what our guests enjoy the most. Then check out PACozyRentals.com and book your own experience.

Have you visited Little Round Top since it re-opened June 21st after nearly 2 years? The NPS did a great job with safer, wider paths & gathering areas along with improved interpretive signage. What do you think?

Bring the kids to Gettysburg! This is our nook under the stairs where oodles of memories have been made and many, many pictures of guests enjoying this space carved up just for the littles. PACozyRentals.com

On this date in 1863 the Confederates would traverse this 1 mile stretch of farmland in arguably the most well known battle of Gettysburg, Pickett’s Charge. This marker was as far as they would get.

“in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.”

🇺🇸 Today marks a significant milestone in American history as we commemorate the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg, one of the most decisive battles fought during the Civil War. Join us in honoring the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who fought in this historic conflict. ⚔️

From July 1st to July 3rd, 1863, Union and Confederate forces clashed in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The battle raged fiercely for three days, resulting in a staggering loss of life and forever changing the course of the war. Gettysburg became a turning point as the Union emerged victorious, ending General Robert E. Lee’s second invasion of the North and severely crippling the Confederate Army.

Honoring the Fallen:
Today, we remember and pay tribute to the thousands of soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice on the hallowed grounds of Gettysburg. Their courage and selflessness serve as a reminder of the tremendous cost of freedom and the importance of unity and reconciliation.

Welcome to the 1st day of summer 2024!

“A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken.” James Dent

I might change that to add something about spending it in Gettysburg. 🤣
Seriously though, we’re coming up on the 161st anniversary of the battle, and this is a good time to bring your family for a visit. We have dates available in July. Midweek days are your best bet for savings. Book via our website, PACozyRentals.com, and save even more.

Gearing up for the summer season. We have plenty of dates left on the calendar, but it’s ramped up over the last few days. Booking links in bio.

Honor those who sacrificed everything.

We are thrilled with the job Mobile Works Pressure Washing did today on our roof, siding, gutters and patio. I could instantly see the difference. Professional, courteous and highly recommended!

What an honor to serve the guests who choose the cottage for everything from a one night stay to a week long vacation. We treat each booking the same. Visit PACozyRentals.com to book your getaway.

05/21/2024

We are honored to have families choose the cottage for their vacations. This is just a snippet of our latest Google review. Running a vacation rental is not “passive” income. We put in long hours, driving, cleaning, laundry, doing maintenance, making improvements, landscaping, replenishing supplies, etc. There is quite literally always something to do, but just knowing we are helping to facilitate life long memories makes it oh so gratifying.

05/13/2024

It’s always gratifying to be the 1st Airbnb stay for a guest, but always makes me feel like I should warn them. Not every experience will be like this so proceed with ⚠️. Is it just me?

Did you know our sweet cottage was a cabin first? It was built in 1910, 47 years after the Gettysburg battle. It’s situated perfectly between 2 picturesque farms. And, the very waterway General Robert E. Lee retreated over July 4th, 1863 flows directly across the quiet road. Marsh Creek is home to all kinds of waterfowl, fish and provides cool, refreshing water to the many deer who graze around it. Book your getaway at this cozy, quaint, historic cottage today!
