I've been in the hospital since July 17 and rehab since August 19 still working on recovering, but things are progressing We had made arrangements to host Mark and Crystals Civil War wedding and reception for 90 people before my problem, and I have to say that my wife Gail, my rock, took care of everything while I...'ve been laid up. Please see Mark and Crystal's comments in the visitors posts This type of thing is just one of the types of Special Events were will be offering I'm still recovering but please keep us in mind if you are coming to Gettysburg.

Tis the season for Holiday and Winter savings. Check us out for holiday specials and gifts. This was 2013 - weather a bit more snowy. :)

From Mark Littier (former gust) My girlfriend and I stayed at Red Patch a few weeks ago and couldn't have been happier with our experience. Gail and Sal were amazing hosts and were very knowledgeable about both the area and history. One of the highlights from our trip was hearing the different stories over breakfast. I am absolutely recommending Red Patch to all of my family and friends for their Gettysburg trips. Thank you, Gail and Sal, for hosting us! I also wanted to upload a picture from our trip. We went at the end of October, so the exterior shot is from the fall. And of course, we couldn't forget our friend, Rover, who was an absolute sweetheart!
