The Lodges at Gettysburg

What The Lodges at Gettysburg does

The Lodges at Gettysburg is a privately held destination resort operator founded in 2010 and headquartered on a 63-acre property in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, operating with a team of approximately 15 employees. The company runs an integrated hospitality business spanning 11 distinct private cabin/lodge rental types, on-site dining via the Gloryridge Tavern & Grill, full-service wedding hosting for up to 200 guests, 6,500 square feet of corporate meeting and event space, and a leadership development program branded as the Leadership & Freedom Center. Core customer segments are leisure travelers and families, wedding parties, and corporate and governmental groups; named enterprise users include JetBlue's board of directors, the U.S. Air Force Academy, Fortune 500 companies, and U.S. Special Operations Forces.

The business generates revenue across five streams: nightly lodging accommodations, Gloryridge Tavern dining (including Wednesday Steak Night at $23.95 per entrée and monthly Thursday Night Live events), wedding events (micro-wedding packages from $94–$98 per person plus a $500 indoor-ceremony add-on, and winter wedding specials from $95 per person), corporate meetings and events, and curated vacation packages (Date Night, Girl's Night Out, Civil War Family Expedition, Gallop into History, All Aboard for History). Distribution is primarily direct-to-consumer through the company's website (WebRez-powered booking), supplemented by Expedia listings and a request-for-proposal workflow for weddings and corporate groups; dining uses Toast Tab for reservations and DoorDash for takeout delivery.

Underlying technology is conventional hospitality SaaS: WebRez for property management and online booking, Toast Tab for restaurant reservations, DoorDash for takeout, and Matterport for 3D virtual tours of accommodations. The company relies on a network of strategic partners — the Gettysburg Foundation (museum ticketing), Hickory Hollow Farm (horseback battlefield tours), Adams County Winery, and Orvis Hill Country — to extend its experiential offering without proportionate internal headcount. Proprietary intellectual property is concentrated in the Leadership & Freedom Center's curriculum (H2G Leadership Experience, Peak Leadership & Wellness, Gettysburg Leadership Experience) and the venue's exclusive single-wedding policy combined with on-site lodging.
