Swan Cottage
This year we added a
romantic private cottage.
You can have all the privacy you need with the romantic touches you want. There are two Jacuzzi tubs and two massage chairs. If you are traveling with children, you will appreciate the extra space, kitchen, and dining room.

Who will you meet when you come back this fall and winter?

Our  inn now has four
professional innkeepers who have each owned their own inn.

Both David Spiese and Helen Lockery make delicious breakfasts.

Bill Ward is a talented afternoon host.  Ask him anything about  Gettysburg and he will know the answer.

And of course, I'm still here and have been for 17 years.

You can expect our usual
genuine hospitality carried
out with the confidence of
experience.

Meanwhile, the housekeepers, Sandra, Montana, and Jericca keep your room the way you want it--clean and well supplied.

Did you know that Montana is our certified cat wrangler? Well, maybe not officially certified, but if we need someone to help us round up a cat, she's the woman who can do it!

Doug Vasey has been adding flowers to every garden and tending sheep, goats, and the equines. Next year, look for more flowers than ever! Take time to admire the walkway that he built at Swan Cottage. His other projects are more subtle--like grading the driveway to keep the rain from pooling up and plugging leaks in the pond dam,  but Doug's touch is everywhere.

Our other host, Andrew,
is an experienced guest.
What better training could he get for hosting and innkeeping.
He has been coming to the inn with his mom for years and now works here while he gets settled after college.

We all hope we will see you
this coming season. We have some very fun events planned for you.
