Conveniently located 3 miles from downtown Gettysburg is one of the most unique ways to stay and enjoy Gettysburg. The cabin itself dates back to 1798 "as far as we can trace back as of now." In 1927, famous Hollywood actor and Broadway star, Oscar Shaw purchased the cabin and constructed a massive addition to the outside of the original cabin. At this time he had the very first in ground pool in Gettysburg installed. In 1940, the son of a famous British naturalist purchased the lodge. His fathers lodge in Britain is named Rainworth Lodge and this is where our name comes from.
We are located 3 miles from downtown Gettysburg. With almost 3 acres of land, there's plenty of room for small group events to be hosted or enjoy the peace and tranquility a home away from all the bars has to offer. One of the largest homes at 3,100 sq.ft, if not the largest historic home and land in Gettysburg you can reserve exclusively to yourself. Enjoy the amazing benefits from having a fully stocked full sized kitchen and 3 separate dining areas. As an added bonus you get to explore the 1800s blacksmith shop found north of the lodge. The blacksmith shop was later converted into the carriage house and housed his driver. So much history has passed through the doors.
The home is historic and has repairs on the exterior that will be taking place when guests are not here and completed before guests arrive. None of the repairs needed pose any threat to guests, other than to their eyes. The detached garage is missing half its roof and is restricted to guests. The downstairs bathroom has a slope in the floor and will be leveled at a later date. If you have mobility issues, please be mindful of this.

Summary: We booked this house for the history tour and ghost experience. When we arrived, we thought the home was abandoned. Easy to get inside, fairly clean (we thought the cobwebs were part of the ambience. Although, we were afraid to use the tub/ shower due to mold and standing water in the downstairs bathroom. Refrigerator is working, but old) The old chinking of logs and nostalgia throughout the house was evident. Very cool! This is a LODGE! MEN will love it, we women were a bit spooked. It's a work in progress.. The host wasn't able to give us the tour, bummer! So we made our own tour! Love the well by the porch!
