HOW TO GET TO THE LODGE AND TIMES

TIMES: Arrive any time after 7:00pm, the earlier you can arrive the better because we will be parking everyone individually in specific spots as guests arrive. If you know others attending, we strongly urge and kind of beg to please carpool.

FINDING THE LODGE AND PARKING: GPS will take you directly to the front of the house where there is no parking. There is a driveway roughly 50 yards before and after the lodge. If you are heading north on Biglerville Road/PA-34 coming from Gettysburg the lodge will be on your right at the top of a semi steep hill called Kecklers hill. Very important, to find our driveway, it is directly across from the North Ridge Motel which will be on your left. Our gravel driveway is on your right and a part of a shared driveway that goes straight up to other houses. Our driveway runs parallel with Biglerville Road and exits back out to the main road. We will have our banner out by the road and an enter sign with arrows. I cannot stress enough to use your gps a head of time and locate the North Ridge Motel for reference. If you are heading south towards Gettysburg, we will be located on the left. Again, please locate the north ridge motel which will be on your right and look for the gravel driveways on your left. Our sign will still be visible when coming from this direction as well. Once you are pulled onto the driveway we will come to your window and ask you to follow us as we walk you to your parking spot.

CHECK-IN PROCEDURE: Once you have parked, we will ask you to meet us at the front of the lodge to sign in. After signing in, we will have chairs outside to sit in while we finish getting everyone else signed in. Feel free to roam the grounds a bit and take pictures if you’d like. We will then have guests that have paid for a room follow us into the lodge and see the bedrooms. The guest that paid for a room first before anyone else will have first choice, then the second guest that paid for a room will have second choice, followed by the third guest that paid for a room. The first guest does NOT have to choose a room at this time and can choose to do so after the 6-hour investigation so they can feel out the energies throughout the night. We would like to wait till after the 6-hour investigation before guest bring their personal items to the rooms they will be sleeping in.

There are two bathrooms to use, one is upstairs, and the other is downstairs and please do not investigate in the bathroom. Unless you do it while using the restroom. We will have a drinking water dispenser and urge you to bring a refillable bottle, please, and Pachamama thanks you

At 8:00 PM we will give a history lesson and tour of the property. For guests wanting to know where we have had past experiences and activity, we will show you and give those that would not like to know a chance to step out during this part. We will then have equipment out and show how to use each device. Some of the equipment, such as rempods, will be used with small groups or stay in certain areas for guests to come in and use together. We will have the 3,100 sq.ft lodge and its cellar to investigate along with the blacksmith shop. Weather permitting, you will be able to investigate the grounds where confederates camped during the battle of Gettysburg. For further questions, do not hesitate to call or message.

All proceeds from public events go towards the repair of the estate. To follow our repairs and other events please follow our facebook page “Historic Rainworth Lodge.”
