Baladerry Inn

My husband and I stayed one night in the Rose Cottage Suite, and we wish we could have stayed longer! The innkeepers were very welcoming, and ensured we were well taken care of. Everything was well maintained and very clean. The breakfast was amazing!!! We can’t wait to make our way back!

A few days ago we stayed here after we were in DC, to explore Gettysburg. We got in late, and had prearranged entry before. We came in to delicious cookies and a note with our key and info. The room was AMAZING! We stayed in the Cottage Rose Suite, and it was unbelievable. Large and comfy with a great bed and a fireplace (which we actually needed! — I guess it’s fall~). The breakfast was also fantastic, we had a veggie and egg tart, fresh fruit and a apple sausage stuffed «pancake» with apple syrup. It was TO DIE FOR. We were really treated like royalty.
Not only is this a historic spot, having been a farmhouse during the civil war — and used as a field hospital during the battle itself, but it is also on the edge of the battlefield. The owner, Judy, gave us a private tour of the house, showing us the original wood floors that were stained with a bloody footprint of solider that waited for treatment. What an amazing experience that most don’t get to experience from museum to tour bus stop. She also told us more about the family that owned the farm, and about what the area was like in the 1800’s.
After breakfast we were less than a mile drive to the visitors center for Gettysburg, it was a perfect and romantic spot to spend some time. As well as a quiet area to reflect over the history of the area. We took a hike and stumbled onto some battlefield memorials that weren’t on the general tour nearby the inn.

We just returned yesterday from our stay at Baladerry Inn. What a beautiful B and B! The property is gorgeous with a huge open grassy area where many deer visit daily. The rooms are quiet, clean and smartly decorated. The main house has all you need and more: Keurig coffee maker, fresh baked cookies, cold drinks, ice and ice buckets, two cozy indoor sitting areas and probably even more I’m not remembering.
We stayed in the Daisy room. It’s country charm made for a relaxing stay. The shower was updated and the bathroom very clean. The french doors open to a view of the grounds and a sweet little patio with chairs and table to enjoy the beautiful view and a nice bottle of wine.
The owners, Judy and Ken and their employee Connie were all very personable and welcoming. Judy gave us a personal tour of the house, telling us all about it’s Civil War history. The breakfasts were delicious and fresh; a great way to start each day. The weather was perfect for al fresco dining on the patio at the main house. We spent a lot of time on the patio at the main house and off of our room relaxing and visiting with other guests.
Even though it feels like it is in the middle of nowhere, the property is only a mile away from the Gettysburg Military Visitor center and a couple of miles from the heart of downtown. I actually walked down one morning.
The Baladerry Inn is a true gem. The rates are very reasonable. I highly recommend it for a romantic getaway or just a relaxing getaway.

This is a lovely place to stay. It is close to town, has great breakfast and the host are very warm and helpful.
