    We have been visiting this inn for over 5 years, it's our favorite in Gettysburg! If you're not sure if you would like an Inn experience, definitely start at the Brafferton! The hosts Brian and Joan are very accommodating, they make sure we have everything we want without being overwhelming! Brian makes the best breakfast of all the Inns in Gettysburg! Each morning Joan makes a different flavor muffin which is to die for! It's perfectly located downtown, so you are able to park your vehicle and walk everywhere. Plenty of shopping, restaurants, history all right around the corner. They have many different room/suite options, our favorite go to is the Getty's suite. It has 2 bedrooms, a full kitchen, living room, dining room table and an awesome spa bathroom! I hope you try this place you won't be disappointed!

    Our family of four stayed at the Brafferton Inn Bed and Breakfast for a couple of nights on our visit to Gettysburg, PA. Built in 1786, the Brafferton Inn is the oldest deeded home in downtown Gettysburg. The Inn actually consists of the home itself, as well as other buildings to accommodate the multiple suites and bedrooms. We loved the Inn's central location, just steps away from Lincoln Square and close to many restaurants, museums, tours, and historical sights. The Inn is a family business, run by Joan, her son Brian, and his wife Amybeth. Joan checked us in and showed us to our rooms. She was helpful with information about the town. She was even able to recommend a local laundromat when I needed one. Brian was in charge of breakfast. The breakfasts were delicious. There was fruit and muffins with a choice of about five entrees. The only negative I would say is that the dining room is very small so you must sign up for a specific breakfast time. On our visit we only had one or two time choices. It can be limiting if you have an appointment for a tour or need to leave at a specific time. We stayed in the Cordori Suite, which was located on the first floor of the Carriage House. Best part about the suite? It came with a parking spot. The other rooms do not! The suite, with modern but homey decor, had plenty of room for our family: a bedroom with a king size bed, 2 full bathrooms (including a large jacuzzi tub & spa shower in one), a large sitting room with a queen size sofa bed, a Keurig coffee machine, and a mini fridge with cream for your coffee! I absolutely loved the large bathroom. What I did not like was the skylight in the bedroom, one of the only sources of light in the room that seemed to make the room very bright in the morning! You can look at the Inn's website for a detailed description of each room. As far as the rest of the house goes, there is only public access to the breakfast room and a living rooms/parlor where there is a Keurig coffee machine and often, fresh baked cookies. I don't think we will need to visit Gettysburg again (once was enough!) but I would highly recommend the Brafferton I

    Just checked in to the Olde Master Bedroom. This is one of rhe original, not renovated rooms in the B&B

    This is my first experience staying at a bed and breakfast and I was not disappointed. The staff is so kind and attentive and the breakfast was delicious! We stayed in the Olde Master Bedroom so we had a private bathroom across the hall from our room which really made me feel at home. The bedroom was original to the house, it really felt like you stepped back in time when you walked in. One of my favorite parts of the B&B was the outdoor seating area. It was too hot to sit outside long but next time we come back we will be sure to bring some wine to enjoy outside. The entire property was very welcoming and I hope to have a reason to come back and stay here again!

    See all

Michael, the owner, is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet, as is the staff on site. The room was perfect and so comfortable! This is walking distance to many of the shops and sites around town. We are already planning our next visit for next year! If you're planning a trip to Gettysburg, I highly recommend staying at the Gaslight Inn. I promise, you will not be disappointed!

I was flying solo, so I stayed in the smallest (cheapest) room - Violet Room - and it was nice if not huge. Bed, bath, etc., were really nice. Room does have TV and wi-fi, but I was "on vacation" and did not use them that much. Mornings I went down, grabbed coffee, and sat out on the 2nd floor balcony reading and enjoying the view of the yard. Weather was great this visit, and this was hard to beat! The public spaces in the inn were plentiful on both 1st and 2nd floors, and I felt very comfortable. Gaslight's location is in the heart of Gettysburg, and everything but the battlefield itself is an easy walk. That included places to eat and get ice cream. I preferred this to being farther out, driving around, finding parking, etc. Hosts - Mike and Jennifer - were great, friendly, answered all questions, and helped with anything I wanted. If you are looking for a 9-room B&B experience with other nice people, want to enjoy the heart of the town of Gettysburg, and do not need a mega-hotel, the Gaslight Inn should be high on your list.

    What an AMAZING place to stay in Gettysburg! The Federal Pointe Inn has so much character and…read morehistory, and it fits the whole Gettysburg vibe perfectly. The building was originally a school, and I absolutely loved that they kept so much of that history and character intact. You can still see the old-school layout, but the rooms are beautiful, clean, comfortable, and so nicely done. In the pub/restaurant they have old class photos displayed from throughout the school's history, which was so cool to look at. It's one of those places where you actually want to walk around and take everything in. But what really made our stay stand out was the staff. Everyone was SO friendly and genuinely kind. Nikki at the front desk went above and beyond for us. We needed to be somewhere at a specific time and were really hoping to get into our room early so we could get ready. She was incredibly busy, but still took the time to help us and make sure we were taken care of. We appreciated her so much! The staff in the pub was just as wonderful -- friendly, engaging, and actually took the time to talk with us. Even the housekeeping staff went above and beyond and couldn't have been sweeter. The history, the atmosphere, the rooms, and especially the people made this such a memorable stay. If you're visiting Gettysburg and want to stay somewhere that actually FEELS like Gettysburg instead of just another hotel, this is the place. We absolutely loved it and would stay here again in a heartbeat!

    Chose this hotel for its history, reviews and the possibility of it being haunted, which is well…read moredocumented. The positives were the staff was very friendly and parking was easy. The decor was cool to say the least. Very of the period and historical. The negatives would be the air-conditioning in the room did not work very well. It was very warm in the room and we were not able to make it any cooler. We arrived on a Sunday and were told that the pub was closed. That was very disappointing as that was one of the primary reasons for choosing the hotel. One other thing that I noticed was the toilet was not properly bolted down and was actually rocking when you sat down on it. Not a horrible experience staying here but definitely not what was expected.
