Lightner Farmhouse B&B

Best stay EVER Weather was great meanwhile we thought we were going to be dealing with rain the whole weekend. When you check in they go over the history of the lightener farm and the use of the home back during the civil war. Booked the Lincoln room which turned out to be the best room. The room had its own door to enter from the outside with a porch with several rocking chairs that looks over the left side of the property. Breakfast hands down was the best I’ve ever had on all of my stays in Gettysburgs over the past 7 yrs. The room was beyond comfortable and the shower was great with amazing water pressure. I will definitely be rebooking for all of my future trips to Gettysburg.

Excellent stay Great stay! Farmhouse is beautiful. Felt welcomed from the moment we arrived. The daily breakfast was delicious! Be sure to check out the basement area. It really brings back the original charm of the home. If I had anything bad to say, the shower in our room was quite slippery. It was ok for us, but might be more of a risk for someone who doesn’t have great balance. Not enough to reduce my rating, just something to note.

A wonderful location, gracious and informative hosts (Steve sat at breakast each day to talk with their guests-this stimulated discuussions among their guests and he provided excellent information about Gettysburg and the Civil War), and the breakfasts were good with outstanding baked goods and fruit options (the first day fruit was an amazing baked spiral sliced apple with nuts in the core). We enjoyed the country setting (it somehow felt more connected to the rural setting of the battlefield than in town might have provided). The historic Civil War house and accomodations were wonderful (the home, when new, served as a hospital for Union soldiers during the battle). The town is nice w/plenty of dining options.
