Opportunity to stay in very unique property. 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.

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.

We had an amazing time! The rooms are eclectic and the staff is friendly and attentive. We had paranormal activity too! Also highly recommend their paranormal ghost hunt tours. They’re interactive and not cheesy. The real deal stuff!

Really nice historical place!
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.

The visitors center is a must see.
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 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!!
