    Walking out the front door
    Nina U.

    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 :-)

    Perfect vacation!! This place is amazing and not a stuffy B&B! My husband and I traveled to Gettysburg for the annual Christmas tree lighting with our seven dogs! We stayed in Swan Cottage and it is a house, not a tiny bungalow. The staff is so welcoming and attentive, but you have all the privacy you want at the cottage. The king bed was so comfortable - my husband said he's never seen me sleep so hard. The cottage offers three tvs (you can stream Hulu, Prime, etc). A cozy electric fireplace, twin with trundle and full? size bed along with second whirlpool tub. Full kitchen, two shower options and parlor with pull out sofa. And two full size reclining massage chairs! Front porch and two small gated areas with additional outdoor chairs and tables. Perfect with dogs. If you have small toy size dogs, they can slip through the gate door so you just need to watch for that. Bigger dogs can push gate doors open so you just need to stand by gate door to prevent that. Minutes from town shops and restaurants and, of course, you are on battlefield since the battle was all over Gettysburg. We slept in so we missed the History Program - will catch next time. Breakfast is more like brunch at NYC's finest restaurant! Food was so good and portions were huge!! Again, just the best quality is provided your entire stay. Yes, it is pricier than motels in town, but you don't pay a pet fee and the Breakfast is easily worth $50 for two people each day. Keurig with coffee and hot chocolate packets available in main house. The "good orange juice" for breakfast. Tons of reading material and Civil War items in main house. And just hospitality galore. They leave baskets so you can put your soiled towels outside to be replaced. Quality bath products and even the softest toilet paper! No corners cut here. We have stayed at several places in Gettysburg and each place has its own positive qualities. If you can afford to stay at Battlefield, you will be extremely happy. The cottage is large enough for a family and cozy for a couple. We hated to leave. A lot of Bed and Breakfast places can be a bit small on personal space and a bit formal. Swan Cottage was spacious and we were in our own world. No complaints or suggestions from us! You have everything you need, including excellent wifi, without feeling as though you're in the modern world apart from the Gettysburg history.

    I absolutely adored this B&B. Amazing breakfast, beautiful grounds, and full of history! I stayed at swan cottage for a wedding and you could t get me out of those massage chairs! I will be visiting again!

    The property is very beautiful, nostalgic and well cared for. Rooms are all unique and comfortable. The breakfasts were delicious including fresh fruit and baked goods. The owners and employees were gracious and helpful. The best part was Steve Gunlock a historian who made presentations on the history of Gettysburg. We learned all about the human experience as well as the weaponry used during the battles. We were taught how to load and fire a musket. We saw artifacts that really brought his narrative alive. If you get a chance make time for his morning presentations. He is there 3 mornings a week.

    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 decor 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 !

    My friends and I were on a roadtrip to Maine and decided to stop in Gettysburg for a couple of days on the way. My friend saw this b+b and was intrigued by the historical decor and the early morning history lessons before breakfast so, we decided to stay. The breakfast was great the first day, not as great the next. The water pressure in the shower was very low. But, other than that I cannot complain. Our room was beautiful and clean; we stayed in the 1st Texas infantry room. The staff was WONDERFUL. So polite and kind. The grounds were also very beautiful and picturesque. Loved all the animals. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and we're so glad we stayed there. Also, as far as paranormal experiences, we definitely felt like we had a few (mostly at night). It was interesting to say the least, especially considering how skeptical I can be. Just an fyi for people who enjoy spooky things.

    Stayed for 3 nights with our border collie in the Tack Room! This place is amazingly cozy! It's spacious, beautiful, comfortable and private! We loved our room, (and even the ghost) . Breakfast is delicious! Hospitality is what you'd expect but so much more it was like being at home! Everyone should stay here! You won't regret it! The grounds are gorgeous and we enjoyed being near the horses! The daily history lessons are an added bonus for history buffs! It's so Peaceful! Needed a quiet and calm getaway from city life! All the baked goods at breakfast and social hour were delicious! Thank you for an amazing time! I can't say enough about how much we loved this place!

    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.

    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.

Let's be real, a restaurant attached to a hotel is usually where culinary ambition goes to surrender. Overpriced plates, underseasoned everything, food that tastes like it was cooked in a different zip code. Glory Ridge refuses to yield. The 12oz Delmonico arrived seared to a textbook medium rare, seasoned with nothing but salt and pepper -- because the kitchen clearly knows that great beef doesn't need reinforcements. No butter bath, no unnecessary sauce brigade. Just a beautifully confident cut that held the line from first bite to last. The fish and chips nearly stopped me in my tracks. The tempura batter was gossamer-light -- the kind of delicate, airy crust you'd expect from a specialty tempura shop in Japan, not a lodge in south-central Pennsylvania. And the fish held its heat and texture long after hitting the table, which tells you everything about the technique behind it. Prices are not just reasonable -- they're downright honorable for the quality being served. Glory Ridge Tavern doesn't just survive the hotel restaurant reputation. It crushes it. Gettysburg has seen enough miraculous stands for one address -- apparently it's not done yet.

This spot is a real treat for history lovers. The building itself dates back to 1776, and learning about the fascinating history behind it--including its role as a stop on the Underground Railroad--adds so much depth to the experience. We ate downstairs in the cozy, candlelit Springhouse Tavern cellar, which has an amazing, authentic colonial atmosphere. The food was just as spectacular as the vibe. The French Onion Soup: Absolutely amazing. It comes piping hot with a thick layer of perfectly melted, gooey cheese on top. The Drinks: I paired my meal with their bottled root beer, which was excellent and fit the old-school tavern feel perfectly. You get great food, incredible service, and a piece of living history all in one stop. Don't miss this place when you are in town!

Built in 1776, it has been a family home, the first classical school west of the Susquehanna River, a stop on the Underground Railroad, and even a Civil War field hospital. Today, you can grab an incredible meal while surrounded by centuries of history. If you go, eat in the basement tavern. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. I kicked things off with the Baked King's Onion Soup, loaded with perfectly toasted cheese and a surprise twist--shredded beef that took it to another level. I followed that with the Spit Roasted Chicken Dinner, roasted the old-fashioned way over an open fire until the skin was perfectly crisp while the meat stayed juicy and tender. Because apparently I arrived with the appetite of all 19 Dobbin kids, I also ordered the Dobbin's Hot Beef Sandwich. Tender roast beef on a buttery brioche roll with rich au jus for dipping? Absolutely demolished it. Then came the roast beef club with Swiss, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo, plus not one... but two sides of potato salad. Pro tip: dip the potato salad into the onion soup. You're welcome. The Dobbin House proves that great food never goes out of style. They say you can't eat history... but after this meal, I'm pretty sure I did. If these walls could talk, they'd probably tell me to slow down next time.

We came in about an hour before closing, and our server Aedan was absolutely wonderful. She was energetic, sweet and attentive, and never made us feel rushed. Easily some of the best service we've had in a long time. We started with the Supreme Nachos, and these are definitely meant to SHARE! They were HUGE and absolutely loaded. The housemade chips were incredibly crispy, and I loved the addition of banana peppers. They added a tangy bite and different kind of heat alongside the jalapeños. Some of the best nachos we've had outside of a Mexican restaurant, and our table of four still only finished about half! My mother-in-law got the Reuben with onion rings and said it was the BEST Reuben she's ever had. That says a lot because it's one of her usual orders when eating out. She especially loved how flavorful and tender the corned beef was. My husband got the Tuesday special of 3 steak tacos for $10. The steak was tender and tasted like quality cuts of beef. His only criticism was that it could use more seasoning and that a housemade spicy ranch or signature sauce could really take the tacos to the next level. I got the fish and chips, and the haddock was MASSIVE! The thin, crispy batter stayed perfectly attached, and the fish was hot, flaky and tender. The very thin tail end was slightly dry, but it was such a small portion that it didn't take away from the meal. The biggest surprise was their housemade tartar sauce. Creamy, tangy and slightly sweet from the relish. Hands down my favorite tartar sauce I've had! The seasoned battered waffle fries were also delicious, and they give you a TON. The coleslaw wasn't personally my preferred style since I like a finely minced, sweeter and juicier slaw, while theirs was longer shredded and drier, but that's completely personal preference. Portions here are HUGE, so several meals could easily be shared or give you plenty of leftovers. We also loved the cozy neighborhood pub atmosphere with exposed brick, dark wood, baseball and Eddie Plank memorabilia, and moodier lighting. Between the food, atmosphere, huge portions and especially Aedan's wonderful service, Gettysburg Eddie's has officially earned a spot in our Gettysburg rotation. We can't wait to come back!
