Battlefield Bed & Breakfast Inn

Staying here overnight and doing a ghost investigation with my local Pennsylvania TV show team PARANORMAL AFTER PARTY!
This place is beautiful, the rooms downstairs at the B & B are big and amazing with bathrooms that will blow you away with the stone work archway.
Boasting 11 rooms inside the bed and Breakfast itself. The Barn on the opposite side of the property also has a beautiful Bedroom suite and upstairs is a place where you can hold any event. The Cottage is a separate entity in itself and fully furnished…
The Grounds is huge and has a horse ranch with horses. And a bazillion cats running around… lol
During our investigation we caught alot of spirit activity in almost every room in the place. Some more active than others but nothing malicious here.
The activity in my room had me a little uneasy as the closet door kept opening by itself. Not easy for a sliding closet door to move like that. I tried everything i could to debunk and recreate the door opening but everytime i left the room. And went back in alittle while later… the damn closet was open yet again.
Let me mention the 9am Breakfast… it makes you feel good knowing that I’ll have that waiting for me, along with my name plate on the table. My own personal place setting. Such courteous, friendly service from start to finish…
I love it here, and i would come back again, I can only imagine the beauty of this place in the summer.

Muskets and muffins: that’s how I would describe my awesome weekend getaway at Battlefield B&B. This was the kind of experience that had all the elements of an awesome bed and breakfast (cozy rooms, delicious breakfast, kind staff, lovely common areas, complimentary cookies and lemonade) made even better by the civil war elements that you won’t find anywhere else. History program with musket shooting before breakfast? Check. Civil War period costumes to try on at your leisure? Check. Historic rooms with themed décor (framed portraits of Lincoln, battalion artifacts, etc)? Check. Everything was wonderful — well worth a quick one-​night getaway from the city to go back in time…

We just returned from a fantastic long weekend at the Battlefield Inn Bed & Breakfast and are already planning our next visit! Our experience could not have been better! The entire Staff was excellent from start to finish. The accommodations were great. Our breakfasts were so good and the lecture talks each morning were fascinating. We learned so much and it helped frame the visits that we did to other places in and around Gettysburg during our stay. We came to town specifically for the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival and left with a greater understanding of the battle and the town… with new friends from all over the country… an «unexplained» experience in our room (ghost?!)…and, a new favorite place to plan a getaway!

We had a great visit to Gettysburg and this place could not have been nicer. We actually had booked for just one night but after staying there we didn’t want to leave! We ended up changing our plans and stayed over the second night. The staff was friendly throughout, the breakfasts were amazing and the rooms were much larger and nicer than most B & B’s we’ve stayed at. Each morning a local Civil War re-​inactor came over to give a one hour lecture. First day was on the history leading up to the Civil War and the second day we learned how to fire a musket! The location is just outside of town and the national park and convenient to getting around. Gettysburg is an awe inspiring place to visit and this place is a perfect setting to get into the sprit of the times.

An enchanting oasis for weary travelers, this charming landmark has a permanent place on my list of places I want to visit again. The congenial and efficient staff couldn’t be more helpful and accommodating. The breakfasts were gorgeous and sumptuous — the fresh baked goods most enticing
The beds were super comfortable, the linens, pillows and towels luxurious. The furnishings and artwork were very impressive– and the beautiful surroundings incomparable at this time of year
A tremendous value, too!

We won a one-​night stay in a raffle to the Battlefield Bed & Breakfast, which we had never hard of before. from registration to departure, we experienced nothing less than utter professionalism and accommodating. Extremely amenable, they allowed us to choose our room. Based upon a review of the website, we chose the Tack Room, and were completely blown away. It was beautiful, comfortable, huge, and completely stocked with sundries. We had a little patio that opened to a pasture with a horse, a pony and a donkey, with whom we shared apples and carrots. The grounds were lovely and we got some photos. In the morning before breakfast, they offer a history talk on the Civil War, which was fascinating; we learned so much! The breakfast was scrumptious and quite generous in its portion size. When we return to Gettysburg to spend some time, we will definitely return to this lovely inn.

My family just loved it here. Nice small farm setting. Everyday you’re greeted by the numbers of farm cats that live around there. A large sized home with several rooms that can cater to different groups. We were extremely happy with the North Carolina Battery room because it has a single main bed and two singles in a separate attached room for the kids. With a door :)
Breakfast was freshly made each morning and served after a one hour presentation by a local Civil War reenactment member. Ours was Mike Chambers and he did an awesome job telling the kids how a soldier lived. The presentation was completely casual and voluntary.
Hard for me to come up with any suggestions as we loved it just as it is. It would be a nice setting for a wedding with the nearby pond. They were in the process of adding on to accommodate for large parties.

Just stayed here a few days ago. I was extremely eager to get here and spend some time on the grounds with the farm animals etc. I was a little disappointed upon arrival as I felt like the inn was outdated /​could use some updating. Yes, I understand this is a Civil War era house and the décor may reflect that but it was moreso cluttered with things that your grandma would have in here house .
Knick knacks, dolls, stuffed animals on the beds, outdated color scheme etc. Truly feel bad even mentioning all that but it is the truth. The place could use some freshening up.
We just stayed for one nite as we were coming through town. Apparently the place is haunted too. I mean how could all of Gettysburg not be? Around 1:30am we heard what sounded like something thrown down the stairs outside our room. There was no other noise and no signs of any guests being awake. (As most of them were in their 70s+. I don’t know if they were capable of the noise). We shrugged it off,
Thought it was cool and went on relaxing there. No more haunting experiences. At 8am we joined other guests in the dining room for a presentation from Mike Chambers regarding the Battle of Gettysburg. This was probably my favorite part of our whole visit. Mike was awesome ! So informative and down to earth. He shared so much and was passionate about his knowledge. We finished the presentation with getting to shoot a Civil War era musket !
Booking the room was easy, the staff was very prompt and helpful to respond to emails prior to booking and they even made my boyfriends favorite breakfast for his birthday ! So nice !

This is a lovely B&B! They have the best barn that was transformed (by a party planner) into a gorgeous wedding venue. We were afraid it would be a little chilly during the Fall but the wind was mild and we grabbed blankets to keep our legs warm when we weren’t dancing.
There are more than 30 acres of grounds to walk, run or explore. There’s a cute little flower/​herb garden, a ton of kitty cats and donkey that will heehaw until you bring him apples. But you have to sneak them to him because the horse is greedy.
The B&B is great for a wedding party or huge family! You can walk around and make it your home, eat together and then go out to explore the monuments. The house is a lovely historic home but that means it also comes with low water pressure and be patient with the hot water. The heat can be sensitive too so don’t have them turn it up too much or flip the thermometer in the hallway… you could wake up sweltering. whoops! haha. They can just bring a portable heater into your room. That’s the best solution. And they are super accommodating :-)

My husband and I visit Gettysburg every couple of years and this is our Inn of choice. The location is lovely, the rooms quite nice, the breakfast are excellent and the history presentations are fascinating. You will not be disappointed with your stay here. The hospitality is wonderful.

We come to Gettysburg every other year at Thanksgiving, and, given my hubby’s cat allergy, we have to stay at a hotel versus a relative’s house. This year was the first time we’ve stayed at the Battlefield B&B…and we are happy we tried it this year. Upon arrival, you see horses, goats, chickens, barn cats, and other farm wildlife that live on this huge piece of property. We were greeted by the owner and Jerica (spelling?) who told us the ins and outs of our stay and showed us to our room… which was sizable, and really comfortable! I don’t think I’ve slept in a more comfortable bed!
Unfortunately, due to family brunches, we didn’t get a breakfast here… but I could smell it cooking each morning and it smelled great!
In addition, every morning they have a history talk about Gettysburg and recommend a lot of fun things to do in town.
If you’re looking for an authentic Gettysburg experience, definitely come here!
