Loved the atmosphere, the history and the holiday spirit. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Breakfast was very good! Only minor complaint was the garden tub was out of service. Will stay there again!
-
Centrally located to historic sights. Great food, has a tavern, formal restaurant and beer garden…. All good. Can also book events and tours that start on property. Ice cream shop across the street. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Has it all!
-
Staff was fantastic-go on Christine’s Ghost Tour if you can. 4 stars for property condition bc jacuzzi tub out of order and tv stuck on one channel-teenager couldn’t fix it so definitely broken. History, interest, otherworldliness made this one of our family’s most memorable.
-
Wonderful place to stay but keep in mind this is a historic building so it has some quirks you need to expect like small beds. That said, the room was amazing and the staff above excellent. I would recommend anyone to try this place when going to Gettysburg.
-
Loved our stay! Staff was wonderful and room was clean and convenient to all the sights in Gettysburg. Would give 5 stars but the jacuzzi tub and WiFi in our room were out of order.
-
I loved it. If I had a complaint, it would be the room was dark but that’s not a terrible thing. I had a blast and met the owner who was the nicest gentleman. Took us on a tour of the entire property and gave us a history lesson on not only Gettysburg but Gino’s , better than any your guide. Highly recommend.
-
Also highly recommend their paranormal ghost hunt tours. They’re interactive and not cheesy. The real deal stuff!
-
The room we stayed in was very unique. We loved the history of the property. Ev en though it's not close to the square, it's close to a bunch of other shops and eateries and places to do things.
-
Food for dinner was good History itself
-
My biggest complaint would be the leaf blower outside my door at 9 a.m. not a pleasant way to wake up. For breakfast, I chose scrambled eggs, which were basically fried eggs chopped up, and please give us ketchup with our potatoes LOL... beware the shower stall is extremely small and water can burn you if you're not careful. Otherwise, love love love this place and the ghost tour was pretty awesome too. Thank you Kayla!!!

Loved there beer garden. Was very nice setting, if ur a fan of history the house was nice and appropriate if ur going for the feel of the old times. House is claimed to be haunted but didn’t experience nothing to think that to be true
-
Place is very old, but very clean. AC is window units because it’s an old place, but I like the constant white noise.
-
All the staff was great. If you see the owner in the morning sit and talk with him he's full of information. The place is quiet in the morning but comes alive in the afternoon. If you stay in the pre civil war part of the property, don't expect a cushy hotel room but it was a fun experience.
-
Everything was perfect except for the other guests. There was a paranormal Investigation team that was very disturbing. The walls were thin and they were making a lot of noise and creeping me and my wife out big time.
-
I went for the history and haunts and found both to be amazing. The ghost tour was great and I had some activity in my room. I heard either a cannon or rifle shot at 11:38 pm shook the building amount other things.
-
It was so much fun to stay here!! The staff is friendly and full of stories. The rooms are fun and the location can't be beat!
-
It is an awesome place! I have 3 complaints tho, 1. The room we were in was not level, I'm sure it is structurally sound, but it felt as tho the floor was going to give out. 2. Our room was freezing! We were there in April which is the time of year for the season changing, so its either hot or still cold outside. The weekend before we got there it was very warm, so they put the window AC in. Well...it turned cold when we were there, and the heat was turned off. We also heard a lot of street noise... I'm assuming because the AC unit was in the window and opened for sound to travel easier. 3. My third compla in nt is not enough paranormal activity! My husband heard whispering that woke him up during the night, I got poked in the arm, and I heard walking in the attic. I wanted much more!! Overall it was a great experience. The food in the restaurant was fantastic, and as close to civil war time foods as they can get. Trying the goober pea soup is a must! Basicly its peanutbutter soup, sounds disgusting, I know, but, its actually rather tasty!!

Incredibly friendly staff

The most comfortable and quiet bed and breakfast ive stayed at in a long time (with the exception of some quite litterall "bumps in the night") there may be a spirit or two but they seem as kind and respectful as the staff. We loved our stay here and will be back every year to celebrate my fiances birthday. Very happy to have made a new tradition.
