Our Story

"We didn't want a museum. We wanted a house you'd actually want to stay in."

The building at 42 Baltimore Street has stood since before the battle — a merchant's home, then a boarding house, then, for a long stretch, nothing at all. In 2019 we spent fourteen months bringing it back: reglazed windows, exposed brick, and a kitchen that now turns out the same buttermilk biscuits every morning at 7:30.

Every room keeps something original — a mantel, a floorboard, a transom window — paired with a genuinely comfortable bed, blackout drapes, and Wi-Fi that actually reaches the third floor. We're a two-minute walk from Lincoln Square in downtown Gettysburg and a short stroll from the battlefield's Baltimore Street entrance.

Guest Reviews

What guests are saying.

Illustrative sample reviews for this design concept.

“We stayed in the Chamberlain Room for our anniversary. The fireplace, the biscuits, the walk to the cemetery at sunrise — it's the kind of trip you plan the next one from.”

Arlington, VA
“I was in town for battlefield research and stayed a full week in the Culp Hill Room. Quiet, honest, well-kept — and the innkeepers know more history than half the tour guides.”
David T.
Richmond, VA
“Booked the Garden Room on a whim after our hotel fell through. Best mistake of the trip. The courtyard at dusk with a glass of wine is worth the drive from Baltimore alone.”
