“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.”
"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.
