The rooms are large and beautifully maintained with all the modern wants such as wifi, flat panel tv, and amazingly luxurious sheets, but in an authentic old charm décor. Most of all... More

Carlisle is lucky to have such a wonderful B&B! Stellar accommodations from the comfortable rooms, decor, delicious breakfasts, and welcoming/knowledgable inn-keepers. The sheets are the softest I have ever felt...as I remember they said it wasn't the thread count that made them so soft but that they were made from microfiber..sounds odd..but you would not believe how soft and comfy...

Our stay at the Carlisle House was great! Our hosts were extremely gracious and informative and made every effort to make us feel welcome. They have also taken into consideration various precautions for people who have allergies...to pets, down, etc., which we thought was quite impressive. We were visiting Dickinson college with our family and the inn is right downtown... More

Coming back after 10 years to Carlisle (An Army War College Grad), we wanted to stay downtown in a comfy and welcoming inn where we could visit all of our old "haunts"....The Carlisle House did not disappoint. Located in the center of town, we were in walking distance to bars, restaurants, our former rental house, church and other locations that... More

Very nice rooms. The owners have thought of every detail to make the stay pleasant. From the parking to the extra touches in the rooms we enjoyed our suite very much. There are treats and free wifi and the owners are available! We highly recommend The Carlisle House.

We had a wonderful stay in this lovely b&b. Mary and Alan paid attention to every detail and were extremely welcoming. There were many great restaurants within walking distance, as well as Dickinson College which was our main destination. We look forward to many stays at the Carlisle House over the next few years!

Since it was our first stay at a B&B we did not know what to expect. I have to say, it was an entirely enjoyable experience. The room was very comfortable and extremely clean. The breakfast was great and each cup of coffee better than the next. Our hosts, Mary and Alan were outstanding. They were a wealth of knowledge... More
