About Dana Wilkie

Dana Wilkie lives in the D.C. area and is an editor and journalist.

Dana Wilkie purchased this house in 2009
Why Dana Wilkie chose Gettysburg

We looked at dozens of homes near ski resorts, but kept coming back to this singular property because there was nothing like it anywhere. It continues to enchant us, and we find some new feature every time we visit.

What makes this house unique

While we primarily chose the home because it is two minutes from the ski resort, we also wanted a property that would keep us interested during the off-season -- the spring, summer and fall. We found that nearby Gettysburg and the surrounding wine country offered tons of activities all year long, including antique shows featuring dealers from six states, wine festivals, great downtown shopping, horseback riding, Civil War museums, exhibits and reenactments, hiking in nature preserves and more.

lovely property

Submitted: October 18, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
We had a great stay and the accommodations served our large party of wedding guests perfectly. I would love to come back some day with my family and spend more time at the property. It's a great space in a quiet little town and would surely make for a relaxing and simple vacation.

Location Was Perfect

Submitted: August 17, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
Hi Dana: We had a great trip. The house worked well for our group. The location was perfect, close enough to sight see and far enough away for quiet evenings. We watched all your historic Gettysburg DVDs. They really helped put it all together for us.

Stay Was Terrific

Submitted: December 18, 2011 Stayed: October 2011
Hi Dana: Our stay at your home was terrific. The space accommodated gathering to talk and eat as a whole group, as well as nooks and spaces to be quiet and separate. The weather turned out to be lovely. Everyone gave the weekend their stamp of approval.
