A Sentimental Journey

Stayed here as a family of four and loved it! We had the 2 bedroom suite composed of the Moonlight Serenade and Charleston rooms. Beds were comfortable and really appreciated having a separate room AC unit in each. The availability of breakfast and snacks throughout the day was key for us as well since we don’t all wake up at the same time or have the same tastes. The staff was wonderfully accommodating, even providing ice for us to make a cocktail to enjoy on the porch. We loved being in walking distance to everything! The Wi-Fi is not good so let go and enjoy the opportunity to unplug and enjoy being in the middle of everything Gettysburg has to offer. I would recommend the owners provide a traditional rubber stopper for the sink for those of us with contact lenses. And we didn’t get to try the ice cream this time, so we will definitely be back!

Positive The rooms are nice - the period charm is nice. Our king sized bed was large and comfortable. There was a nice patio which was nice (despite the "blankety blank" next door neighbor planing wood for two flipping hours - outside - 10 ft from the patio) ample seating in the room and living room on the first floor outside the door. They have a Roku in every room. I watched a movie on Amazon Prime and had zero issues - super fast. However, my guess is the Roku is hardwired into the internet in the building - see below. We had a huge suite which had a kitchen and our own bathroom. It was nice and if you are staying multiple days, you can use "your own" fridge, toaster, microwave and other stuff to make meals. Parking is in the rear of the building which you wouldn't know ahead of time, but there is ample street parking when you arrive. Our suite had a rear entrance - all other renters will need to pull their suitcases around to the front, but its like 50 ft total so.... The not so nice. This is not my idea of a B&B. I've stayed at lots of B&B's - this is not a B&B - its essentially a period hotel or boarding house. 1) In the same building is their ice cream shop. This is where you check in. So if there is a line for ice cream, tough, there is only ever one person around. You are then given a ring of many keys. Why? Because the owner doesn't live on site. If you have an issue, you either walk next door and wait for them to help or call and they will come to the house. I checked in and wasn't given the WiFi password. I had taken my shoes off and didn't want to go outside, around to the Ice Cream parlor, and ask while barefoot. When I checked in, I remembered an interior staircase, so I went upstairs, found the door, and came down. Apparently this was not what I should have done. The owner was NOT happy that I had used that stairs as its "not allowed" for some arbitrary reason - she mumbled something about safety - but the stairs seemed fine to me. Of course I was not told not to use this stairway when I checked in and it is not marked "do not enter" so the owner was apparently rude for no reason. 2) The WiFi is absolute crap. I looked in Trip Advisor and this has been noted in their reviews going back almost 10 years. You'd think they would fix it. I am an engineer who works on computers for a living so it isn't me. If its that Gettysburg's internet sucks, note this on your site or when people check in so they aren't pissed. Half the time I got service that was so slow I could barely do anything and the other half of the time the WiFi service was completely unavailable. I mean you are on a trip - you should be expected to be able to stream a movie or simply check you email or Facebook. I was only checking my email and it ******. Considering they have a Roku in every room I have no idea what the issue is - there were only two other renters in the bldg so it wasn't that. Internet was actually better the next day when everyone was in the building s

We stayed in the King suite on the bottom floor. The place was comfortable and the antiques were wonderful. Great location to many locations(center of most). Great place to relax and feel like family. Barbara was very sweet and accommodating to life circumstances. Everyone was lovely. We will be staying again. I highly recommend this jewel to stay at. Thank you Barbara for all you did.

This is an adorable, cozy historical inn. The owners also own the ice cream shoppe next door and that is where you check in. They are super helpful. There is no elevator and the owner, Steve, helped my husband in with the luggage. Please be aware that this is NOT your typical bed and breakfast with a luxurious hot breakfast. What it does have is an adorable breakfast/snack area that has coffee, tea, cereal, bagels, and pastries available 24/7. We super appreciated that when we came back early on a rainy day and were able to have a coffee and pastry. The rooms are decorated in different time periods and are comfortable and clean. The location is perfect. I would recommend and stay here again.
