What are we? A luxury country bed and breakfast, an event venue, a nature preserve, a limited horse and cat rescue, a history-learning focused inn, and dog-friendly lodging.

How many rooms do we have? The Farmhouse has 10 guest rooms, the Historic Barn has 1 guest room, and Swan Cottage is a 3 bedroom, two bath cottage with a living room and kitchen.

What can guests do on the grounds? The grounds include gardens, walking trails in the Peace of Penn’s Woods Nature Preserve, a one-acre fenced dog park, front patios with umbrella tables, and propane fire pits by the barn. Two rescue horses and our host cats share the farm as their home.

Is breakfast included? Our morning chef prepares a delicious full hot breakfast. Guests can eat in the Solarium, on the deck, or have room service.

What are your history activities? Every morning, we have a local historian do a one hour presentation about Gettysburg history for our guests. Sometimes the presentation is a talk, and sometimes it is more hands-on with artifacts and musket-firing demonstrations. The decor of the inn is focused on the Civil War, Underground Railroad, and social justice stories of the Houghtelin farmhouse and the Gettysburg community.

Where is the inn located? 2264 Emmitsburg Rd, Gettysburg, PA 17325. The core of the inn is the 1809 Civil War Farmhouse. The property has 30 private acres of the Gettysburg Battlefield behind Big Round Top on the old Emmitsburg Road.

How do I book a room? Book online on our own website (gettysburgbattlefield.com) to see what rooms are available. The booking page will say ThinkReservations. If your rooms are not available, there will be a calendar at the bottom of the page showing availability for a couple of weeks near your target date. Or call the inn at 717 334-8804 to get help setting up your reservation. Be sure to book directly with the inn for the best rates. If you use an online travel agent, your rooms will cost 25% more and you will have to pay everything up-front with limited cancellation options.

  • It's obvious that Battlefield B&B takes much pride in their business, and enjoys showing off for their guests. It's in a prime location and has ties to the battle (I believe it was a hospital during the battle). Very beautiful inside, very beautiful grounds, friendly accommodating staff, and a great start to the day with storytelling and a 5 star breakfast!

  • We've stayed here two years in a row and have enjoyed it both times. Actually on part of the Gettysburg battlefield and close to town. Very nice morning history talk by local experts (usually in period dress), followed by delicious breakfast. Great find!

  • Everything was absolutely perfect! We brought our dog Gizmo with us and he had so much fun running around and barking at the horses! ...We don't like waking up early but we did for the history presentation and it was definitely worth it! The breakfast was also great. I definitely recommend the Battlefield B&B if you are looking for an authentic Gettysburg experience in a superb place.

  • The very best part was the morning history talk by local living historians. Mr Vice gave an excellent history of the lead up to the Civil War and Mr Gunlock was very engaging with local stories of Gettysburg, relics, and the opportunity to fire Civil War era rifles. We loved that.

  • About Steve Gunlock: His great knowledge of the history is so passionate. His presentation made me teary and really got to me making me understand and feel like it was my family heading off to war. That sums up how great of a historian Steve is.

    The room was perfect. Roomy. The outside entrance and ramp suited my needs to a T. Easy to take Libby out.

    Breakfast was great. Everyone so friendly. Thank you for your donation to Make-A-Wish. So glad I kept bidding and got this. Will be back.
