We had a great Mother's Day weekend at this beautiful B & B. Owners/hosts Eileen and Dennis were simply charming and always helpful, and the nature trails on the property were an added bonus (as was the daily supply of chocolate chip cookies in our room !!!). Simply the best B & B we have ever stayed at !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The... More

Your Gettysburg experience will come to life at this B & B. Used during the Civil War as a field hospital, your enthusiastic hosts will share the fascinating history of this beautiful home. Our Cedar room was rustic with a comfortable bed. Enjoy the spectacular grounds, or just relax in the rocking chairs. Breakfasts were perfection. I do believe Eileen... More

I planned a surprise vacation for my husband and staying at the Lightner Farm was one of the highlights. I booked our room after reading all of the wonderful reviews on Tripadvisor. Thanks everyone for the excellent recommendations! You were exactly right. Our five day stay could not have been any better. We were made to feel like family, met... More

Even though our stay was overnight, we will remember it always. The "farmhouse" is beautiful and well maintained. The historical significant is another big plus. Our room-The Cedar Room-was directly off the side porch; which quickly became our favorite spot. We enjoyed rocking in the chairs while watching the sun go down on a glorious spring day, kept company with... More

We spent two nights at the Lightner Farmhouse. Eileen, Dennis, and Betty were so friendly. Staying in the middle of the week in April, we had the whole place to ourselves the first night. We stayed in the Pine Tree Suite and there was plenty of room for all three of us. The basement room with the bar and sofas... More

Beautiful house that is full of history!! Eileen and Dennis were superb hosts!! We stayed in the cottage and loved it!! It's just right outside of town, so you have the privacy. I would definately stay again!

My husband, mother and I stayed at the Lightner farmhouse for our little getaway. We had a wonderful time. Eileen and Dennis are wonderful hosts. Very friendly, breakfast was fantastic and the cookies were wonderful. Eileen packed some cookies for my mother for our journey on into Washington DC. We had a wonderful time! We hope to go back someday... More

My wife, daughter, and I stayed in the Walnut Cottage March 26, 27, 28, and left on the 29th. The cottage is separated from the main house by an attractive breezeway. The bedroom was spacious with a comfortable king size bed and a comfortable daybed that my daughter slept on. There was an electric fireplace that helped keep the room... More

My husband, son and I just returned from a wonderful stay at the Lightner Farmhouse. I can't say enough nice things about our visit----Eileen and Dennis were such gracious hosts. We only wish that we could have stayed longer!
