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.

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.

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.

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!!!

Historical

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.

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!!

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.

Told when we arrived that breakfast, which was included in the price would start at 10:00 in the Sweeny Tavern. Both days the Tavern was locked at 10:00. Told at check out that breakfast was in the Farnsworth Inn. Putting clothes in the dresser when we arrived and found someones old clothes in there. Could only get one channel on the tv. I asked the girl at the deck if she could have it fixed. She didn't know how to do it but would sent someone. No one ever showed up.

The Meade and Lee dining experience with civil war era food was wonderful, and breakfast was great once we found the location. We were told breakfast was in the Sweeney Tavern but it was in the main dining room. The historic feel was what we expected. Great location. Close to many little shops. Our only complaints were the channel button on the remote didn't work and the air conditioner was very loud making it difficult to sleep. Otherwise. It was a great experience.
