Farnsworth House Inn, Gettysburg

If you ever intend to actually enjoy the B&B side of the Farnsworth dont go until they get new management. Since they can pull people because of all the paranormal activity they more than half step on customer service/hospitality. The rooms are DIRTY, pillows smelled like mold, dust on the base boards and trim, rugs were dusty/dirty. The breakfast was meager with cold to warm coffee. They made you feel as if they were just waiting for you to finish so you wouldn't bother them. Tthe people working there ranged from nice-to rude-to indifferent. They have a loud chime clock in the hallway that sounds off every 15 minutes. Good luck getting some good sleep!;) When we went to check in the lady at the counter was taking a call from her husband. She was talking about something totally mundane. She never even acknowledged us standing infront of her and then she stood up and turned her back on us and ignored us for about 5-7 minutes while she conversed about much of nothing. We really don't ask for much and take no pleasure in complaining. My wife and I have been there 6 x in the last 5 years and have seen it decline. This past November was the last straw. Its a shame because it really is a great place and location but the management is horrible.

I went for the first time in my life with my sons ..we stayed at the farnsworth house inn ..it was like walkin back in time...everything was clean and beautiful...i loved the garden and the ghost tours..Cant wait to go back!

A good friend of mine visited last month and had roaches in her room. There were also roaches in the restaurant. They charge excessive amounts of money for teeny tiny rooms overrun with roaches. I have reservations in December and I've been trying to cancel for several weeks now and I'm being completely ignored. No one will even get back to me with a confirmation of cancelling and a guarantee that my credit card will not be charged any more money (they already stole $100 from me for a "deposit," which is ridiculous because it is more than TWO months before my stay). Don't stay here. You will regret it.

Myself and 3 friends planned a girls getaway weekend Aug. 2009 since I stayed at the Farnsworth many times before I had suggested it for our stay that weekend. I booked 2 rooms in January having email conformation on both(which I showed them). When we arrived in Aug to our shock and dismay they only had one room available. We asked them for a manager to try and help rectify the situation, the woman at the front desk refused! I asked for a refund for my deposit and we would look for acomodations elsewhere and she had the nerve to ask me if I wanted a refund on both rooms DUH!!??!! We NEVER recieved an appology from this woman for our trouble or help finding another place to stay.Thankfully we found another B&B to accomodate us and welcomed us with open arms. I would be very reluctant to stay there again. At least not with out calling at least a week ahaed of time to make sure I have a room/rooms to stay in.

My husband and I go yearly to Gettysburg. We were disappointed in the service while eating in the tavern and the food was just okay. The best part of the Farnsworth is the ghost tour. Thanks to our guide we were very pleased and can't wait to take another tour next year.

The Farnsworth House ghost tour totally rocked! It was fun, and educational. Even my children ages 9, 11, and 15 loved it. Allie our tour guide was absoltuely fablous! She sung a song towards the end, and what an amazing voice. We've gone on other ghost tours while in town and where greatly disappointed and bored while on them. It's worth to go for a day visit and visit the Farnsworth House, you won't be disappointed. out of 5 stars the Farnsworth house rates a 10 star! You won't be disappointed!

The Farnsworth has great food, both in the dinning area and the pub. Recently stopped inn mid evening for a bite to eat had the Texas regiment French onion soup with cheese have to give this an A+ and had the steak sandwich which was very good with a mushroom onion glaze and tomato with lettuce. The birch beer was native to the region and had a smooth and creamy bite wish I got more. I must say very very good food if you spend a day in Gettysburg national park the Farnsworth is a great place to eat and relax afterward! The prices are not that bad for this economy ! High props for the Farnsworth!

We have been here many times and always liked the place. I love the place. My wife and I always go for a weekend trip. I know it was not built in 2008 but thats what we like about it. Great town and great people all around.

WE HAVE STAYED HERE MANY TIMES, THE FIRST TIME WAS ON OUR HONEYMOON, WE TRY TO RETURN EACH YEAR, THE PEOPLE ARE WONDERFUL, THE HOUSE IS PERFECT, THE FOOD IN THE DINNING ROOM IS AMAZING, I ALWAYS HAVE THE GAME PIE, THE TAVERN IS A GREAT PLACE TO MEET PEOPLE , THERE IS USUALLY GREAT ENTERTAINMENT, IT IS A PLACE YOU FEEL SO AT HOME, WE HAVE STAYED IN MOST OF THE ROOMS BUT OUR FAVORITE ROOM IS THE SARAH BLACK ROOM, THE LAST TIME WE STAYED THERE WE HAD A VISIT FROM SOMEONE KNOWN AS JEREMY, IT SCARED THE WITS OUT OF BOTH OF US, WE HAVE ALWAYS HEARD THINGS BEFORE BUT THIS WAS SOMETHING ELSE, THE OWNER AND HIS DAUGHTER ARE ALWAYS VERY FRIENDLY AND WELCOMING, AS ARE ALL THE STAFF THERE, MANY OF THEM HAVE THEIR OWN STORIES TO TELL, WE DO PLAN TO VISIT AGAIN THIS YEAR, DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE IF YOU GO TO GETTYSBURG, AS CANADIANS WE FIND THE AREA ARE WONDERFUL WITH ALL THE HISTORIC EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE THERE, OUR HOME HAS MANY TREASURES FROM THERE, EACH TIME WE COME HOME WITH MORE, I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER PLAE TO BE, IF YOU NEVER GO ANYWHERE ELSE DON'T MISS THIS PLACE

I visit Gettysburg, PA, every year - the weekend closest to the 20th of November - and no trip would be complete without staying at the Farnsworth house. The staff is kind and friendly, and always willing to bend over backwards to accomodate us. In the last, we have stayed in the Belle Boyd, Lincoln, Jenny Wade, Custer, and Longstreet rooms, and LOVED every one of them. The beds are comfy and the decor and antiques in the rooms compliment the decor perfectly. Breakfast has always been great as well. If you plan on going to Gettysburg, PA, you need to stay at the Farnsworth House Inn. It is wonderful!!! (P.S. I haven't seen a ghost yet, but, I'm hopeful. :-) )
