We’ve been to Gettysburg on this weekend the last 6 years. This was by far the best place we have stayed. We felt very welcome. Fresh farm eggs in the fridge were amazing. Air conditioning was amazing. Good hot water and good water pressure. Front porch relaxing was top notch. And I’ve never been more impressed with a coffee pot. Thank you so much.
