We held my sister’s 60th birthday party at the Inn at Herr Ridge and it was a smashing success! It was easy to book, the staff was incredibly attentive, the food was great and we all had a wonderful time. I’m sincerely grateful to them for their great service and hospitality!!
I just returned from a gal-pals getaway -- really, all my oldest friend and I wanted was a weekend without kids, husbands and pets to just catch up and regain our old rhythm. We chose Pennsylvania's Gettysburg, not so much for the battlefields, which we have both been to and respect and appreciate, but for its perfect location between our somewhat distant regional hometowns. It's a beautiful region, beyond the history, which of course is a momentous thing. We chose the Inn at Herr Ridge, a mile or so out of town and in battlefield country, over the in-town Gettysburg Hotel. I'm not sure why. Both properties looked lovely. I'm glad we ended up here. It's an unpretentious country inn (though it labels itself a b&b) in that you don't have to have breakfast with strangers, you have your own lovely rooms that are a blend of history and mod cons (like gas fireplace and air-con), and the folks who work here, from the owner to staff, all make you feel welcome. What we didn't know before we booked, and want to share, is that rooms are stretched across at least two buildings. I was in the original, historic building, and particularly loved the clawfoot tub in the bathroom. My pal was in what essentially was a reasonably newly built house, on the grounds, that had been divvied up into guest rooms. I think we both preferred the original building, for character, and yet her room looked lovely, too. What we loved most about the Inn at Herr Ridge was the Livery, its reasonably newly revamped bar/tavern/pub, located in a barn on the property, and I'll review that separately. If at first we were dismayed that we were driving distance from downtown and its eateries, from our first meal at the Livery we fell in love with the place, totally for the vast (and yet amazing, in everything we ordered) menu to its family-like (well, who am I kidding, they seemed like family and made you feel a part of it too). So we spent our days exploring the battlefields, the gorgeous farm country all around us, the baby Appalachian mountains and some darling college towns, in addition to Gettysburg. We especially loved Carlisle, home of Dickinson College, a gorgeous 45 minute drive (on winding country roads). Anyway, back to the Inn at Herr Ridge and our relaxed dinners after a couple of busy days touring. Heartily recommend it. It was lovely to have a cocktail, then a delicious pub dinner, and simply stroll back to your room; the fellow dinner guests all seemed to be locals. Be patient; the staffing issues plaguing so many lovely hotels and inns are impacting the inn and Livery too, but we didn't feel a bit neglected. In fact, we'll be back.…
The Inn at Herr Ridge is steeped in history. We stayed there as a launching point to tour the battleground as well as some of the nearby towns. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was served in the onsite restaurant. During our stay, we really enjoyed sitting on the rooftop deck in the evening and the meal we had at The Livery restaurant.

Extended family (11 of us) planned a long weekend in Gettysburg and decided to book our stay at the Inn at Herr Ridge. We booked all 5 rooms (14-18) in the Anna Herr house and several rooms in the original building. We couldn't have made a better choice. Rooms were spacious and well kept. Jacuzzi tubs were such a nice touch! A few of us arrived a few days early and got massages in the massage room on site. So relaxing! And, when the rest of the family arrived mid week, the lnn staff made sure the house and rooms were well stocked, and even left a tray of home baked cookies on the dining room table. Over the top kindness and service during our entire stay, including at breakfast. We had our own room in the main building where we were served breakfast every day. The Innkeeper, Diane, and one of the Inn staffers, Jess, remembered everyone's drink choices and even made one of our younger crew her favorite yummy bacon every day. And, having a restaurant on site that served lunch and dinner with good food was so convenient for everyone. Take out was great and dining inside was a nice option too. The staff even set us up for a nice birthday party in the back room of the restaurant for our young niece, and she loved it. She still talks about her new friends, Diane and Jess. The Inn is just a few minutes from downtown Gettysburg and the battlefield, so easy to see sites and shop. We would head back to the house for a night of games, snacks and cocktails each night. Really made a lot of nice memories. Thanks to Diane, Jess, and everyone else for making our stay so fabulous! Cannot wait to do it again!…
Our visit to the Gettysburg was the perfect relaxing getaway and we are thrilled with our accommodations at the Inn. The room was perfect! It was clean, spacious, convenient access and we loved the outdoor seating on the deck with a peaceful and quiet view(Room 15). The breakfasts and service were wonderful. Can't find one thing I would have expected to be better. We will definitely recommend to others and if and when we return we would likely stay again.
Had a fantastic stay at the Inn. Great service. VERY accommodating. Wonderful breakfast. We cannot wait to come back! We hated to leave this weekend, cant say enough about how wonderful this stay was and how beautiful the Inn was.
We would just like to thank the staff at the Inn at Herr Ridge for making our recent stay special. Cannot say enough about the staff who run this inn. They are very attentive and went well beyond to make our stay so enjoyable. We stayed in room 11 that was spacious and clean. Breakfast was served each morning in our room with the time of your choice. Served in a basket we had more than enough to get the day started. Jess was very attentive and always made sure that we had everything we needed. Diane even went as far as calling us while we were out to make sure we had our breakfast at the correct time. We visit Gettysburg every year and would definitely stay here again. Sandy & Howard East Norriton, PA
The Inn at Herr Ridge is AMAZING!! We just had our wedding there 8/22/20 and it was the most perfect day ever! The staff is amazing, SO HELPFUL, so down to earth, and were there for anything and everything we needed! The barn is PERFECT for ANY wedding!! There is so much you can do/decorate in there! Also, there is so much space in the barn! We had our guests on the main floor, up top, and outside under the tent! We had the barn doors open and the lighting that came through into the barn was amazing! (This made for amazing pictures) Our ceremony was in the grass area right next to the barn which was beautiful! We also recommend the Inn as well which has a good amount of space for any event! It was also so perfect to have the Inn rooms right there for our guests to stay (the rooms are beautiful and so spacious!). Then theres the food, the food was SO AMAZING!! I cannot stress how good the food was! There are many options to choose from which we loved! We loved that they had the barn, the Livery bar and grill, and the Inn all right there! We would recommend the Inn at Herr Ridge to ANYONE AND EVERYONE in a heartbeat! They made our wedding day and every day leading up to it so easy, relaxing, and fun! They were there every step of the way at any moment! Have your wedding here and it will be the most amazing, perfect, and beautiful day ever!! As I mentioned, the rooms at the Inn are so spacious and in a great location in Gettysburg! The Inn is very close to restaurants and bars, but you don’t even need to go anywhere because not only do you have the Inn right there to stay and dine, but you also have The Livery Bar and Grill right beside it! Both have amazing food and great drinks! If you are going to stay anywhere in Gettysburg, I would recommend the Inn at Herr Ridge before anything!!…
We visit the Inn every 3-4 months and also were married in Gettysburg. DIANE IS THE BEST!! She is so welcoming and always ensures we are very well taken care of, even leaving a warm plate of cookies in our room for an afternoon snack! We consider the Inn an extension of our home and would never stay anywhere else in Gettysburg. We have stayed in many different rooms and they are all wonderful. The restaurant is great as well, Jess is a wonderful server! We look forward to many wonderful stays in the years to come! Amanda & Scott Kushik
We were married the day after Christmas. This year, my husband surprised me with a hotel stay in room #4. It was wonderful. We enjoyed choco. covered strawberries and champaign. While taking a selfie with the fireplace in the background, a orb showed up in the middle of the picture just above the fireplace. Zooming in, we see a woman's face with a civil war style bonnet. At least they are friendly ghosts!
