Eileen upgraded us to the suite upstairs and it was terrific! It was quiet and very comfortable. Great location close to Gettysburg's attractions. Wonderful breakfast and conversation. The house was only about 2 years old when the Battle of Gettysburg occured. It was used as a hospital for wounded Union soldiers. You can 'feel' the history in this beautifully restored... More

My husband, two children (ages 10 and 8) and myself stayed at the Lightner Farmhouse B+B in the Walnut Cottage. It was our first B+B stay and at first I was not sure about having kids at a B+B, however, staying in the Walnut Cottage was perfect. It had a room with a king size bed, a daybed and a... More

We stayed at the Lightner Farmhouse in early April and truly loved it. My husband is a Civil War buff and he enjoyed talking about history with the innkeepers. They recommended several things to do (and places to eat) that we have never done on our many trips to Gettysburg and they were great suggestions. We would love to return... More

We were there at the end of March 2013 with our 2 grandsons, ages 12. Truly enjoyed our stay in Gettysburg and the Lightner Farmhouse with it's rich history. Breakfast was wonderful, along with great hosts and excellent accommodations. Looking forward to our next visit. We will definitely stay here again.

I was headed to Phenomology 105 in Gettysburg in March, but I wanted to stay in a place with some history rather than the same ole hotel you can find anyplace. I found the Lightner Inn doing an online search of Bed & Breakfasts in the Gettysburg area and for some reason it stuck in me this was the place... More

We really enjoy staying at this B&B. It's so peaceful and homey. The in-keepers are very friendly and they make a very delicious breakfast (eggs, waffles, yogurt with jam). The home-made cookies and cakes are always fresh and available though out the day. The rooms are cozy and cutely decorated. We definitely make this a place to go year after... More

We could feel the history of this former Civil War Hospital while we were there. The breakfasts were tasty and ample. the only downfall for some people, but not us, was the lack of a tv in the...

We enjoyed getting to know you also and look forward to your next visit when there will be a TV in each room. Putting a TV in the four rooms that currently do not have one is our springtime project. More
