    fantastic location
    delightful breakfast
    noticeable noise
    cold air

    The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore downtown Gettysburg. Breakfast was delightful, especially with the variety offered. However, street noise at night was noticeable, and some windows let in cold air. Overall, it remains a charming spot that feels like a step back in time.

    peaceful courtyard
    excellent breakfast
    cramped room

    The back courtyard offered a peaceful retreat after a long day. The breakfast selection was impressive with fresh pastries and hot main dishes prepared to perfection, providing a great start to our mornings.

    The room felt a bit cramped for two people.

    spacious room
    historic charm
    great location
    noisy traffic

    The room was spacious and clean, providing a cozy atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. Located just a short walk from shops and tours, the historic charm of the place added a nice touch to the overall experience.

    Our room tucked away from the main inn felt a bit like a short-term rental, lacking the distinct charm of a historic property. Facing the street meant dealing with noise from traffic during the day, though nights were quiet. While it was sizeable, the furnishings felt dated, and the pillows were uncomfortably hard. Breakfast required us to step outside to another building, which felt inconvenient, further diminishing the experience of being in an authentic inn. Unfortunately, there were no televisions in the room, leaving us with limited entertainment options.

    Comfortable stay in a great location

    We spent 2 nights here, and it was pretty nice! The location is super convenient, being close to downtown. Our room was huge and comfy, with AC and even a gas fireplace, which we didn’t use, but still cool. Only downside was the lack of breakfast options, but we found a picnic area to grab some food.

    Cozy room, delightful breakfast, where we enjoyed an amazing variety of pastries and a choice of main dishes that fueled our exploration of the local sights. The handy off-site car park made our stay even more convenient.

    friendly service
    uncomfortable bed

    Had an awesome group getaway! The room was comfy and clean, perfect for our adventures. The breakfast was top-notch, with four choices daily. We loved exploring nearby historical sites and the charming town. Highly recommend visiting local shops and trying out the Amish casserole!

    The only downside was that the beds were a bit uncomfortable for my preference, which affected our sleep.
