We sit on 17 acres set back from the road away surrounded by the mountains. We are in the hollow and have a small creek running through the woods on our property. We see lots of wildlife and beautiful sunsets. It is very peaceful yet we are very close to Gettysburg for sight seeing and Liberty Mountain Resort for golfing in the warm weather and snow sports in the winter.This is a away from the house in what we call our "orchard". There is a fire pit for burning any wood you can collect on the property or purchase. The bathroom and kitchen facilities are in the basement of the house and available at any time. The deer particularly like this spot because of apples.

A very pleasant experience. Roger’s son Jacob met me upon arrival and gave me all the info I needed. And he’s super friendly and smart with local tips. Great place to pitch a tent, enjoy the night sky and sleep under the stars. I’ll revisit next time I camp in Fairfield/ Gettysburg again.

Very nice campsite in a quiet area! Our host was extremely friendly and accommodating. Use of the bathroom was an added bonus.

We enjoyed our short stay at The Empty Nest. We made a last minute decision to stop and visit Gettysburg on our way home, their place was the perfect spot. It was away from the business and crowd but close enough to drive. It was convenient having access to a bathroom and kitchen area as well. Most places in the area did not offer this.

A secluded site and very friendly and accommodating host family ensures you’ll have a great stay. The site is surrounded by beautiful garden and orchard and mountain scenery. A nice fire pit and shady trees nearby.

The hosts are lovely. Their space is open and provides a separation from the house and neighbors for privacy. It's easy access from a driveway off a somewhat main road. Cell service is good, we found some blackberries and it looks like apples will be ripe soon. Access to a kitchenette and toilet are in the basement of their house.

We would absolutely stay here again. Easy in and out and close by historical areas. Roger keeps the orchard mowed and clean and is an excellent host.

What a great find! Roger was super nice and worked with us and our arrival time. We set up our tents and near the fire pit and took off to see the sights. He had a small stack of wood ready for us to burn that night as it was chilly. Rogers place is close to Gettysburg but secluded and quiet. The price is amazing compared to staying at a campground around the area. Next time we are in the area we will definitely stay with Roger.

Beautiful view from the orchard. Plenty of privacy, and Roger was a wonderful host. The location is just a few minutes from 15, so we didn’t need to travel out of our way to stay here on a trip from NY to NC. We will definitely stay here again!
