A fantastic B & B. Steeped in Civil War History and just outside of Gettysburg. The breakfast was all fresh and home made. It was the best breakfast at any B & B we have ever stayed at. The owners were very accommodating and shared the home’s history as well as advice on visiting Gettysburg and the surrounding area.
This is an amazing property and BnB. Steve and Teresa were absolutely wonderful!
The property is gorgeous with plenty of walking areas. Quiet and night, but close to Gettysburg. Our room, as the rest of the house was very clean. Breakfast was delicious. Steve and Teresa are great! Friendly, attentive, informative and a pleasure to spend time with.
This is the only place we will stay when in Gettysburg and can’t wait to go back!
The first night the room was too hot because we did not not think about turning the heater off. I found the bed to be uncomfortable and had trouble sleeping. The hospitality was wonderful and breakfast was great. We learned a lot of Civil war history. We were surprised to find that the other couple staying there was from our hometown also.
The breakfast was amazing! Everything was made well and was an enjoyable experience! The room was comfortable and it was easy to keep a good temperature.
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.
Everything about the Lightner B&B was amazing! The owners were delightful and knowledgeable about the battle that took place just a few miles from their historic home. The rooms were decorated perfectly to themes of the civil war, and the setting of the home brought you back in time. The breakfast was delicious, and we didn't want to leave. We stayed in the Lincoln Room, which was amazing! We would HIGHLY recommend staying here, and if we are ever in Gettysburg again, we will definitely try to stay here again!
Owners were very nice and accommodated our request for an earlier check in. Breakfast was delicious. Easy and plentiful parking. Room was well appointed and very clean. It's a little further away from the downtown than I initially realized, but it only takes about 10 minutes drive. We will definitely return.
A beautiful homestead from the civil war era transformed by the very hospitable and friendly owners into a wonderful B&B.
A special treat the chocolate chips cookies and the delicious breakfast every morning.
Steve and Teresa do a wonderful job. My 2nd stay at Lightner. Last year I stayed in Lincoln Library room. This year in Elias Monfort room. Both were great, cozy, well appointed. The Inn's locations is perfect...as I go back and forth between Visitor's Center, Battleground, restaurants and shopping. Breakfast was perfect and you get tons of visit recommendations and historical information. I will be back next year.
The Innkeepers were friendly, helpful with dining options. They treated us like a guest in their home. The breakfast was excellent. We enjoyed having a glass of wine on the patio in the evening.
A charming home with a fascinating past as a Civil War hospital and well suited to anyone who enjoys encountering adventure and history. Hosts are friendly and informative and breakfast was delicious
