We stayed at the Lightner Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast with 4 other couples for our annual spiritual retreat! Steve and Teresa were kind, welcoming, accommodating, helpful hosts. The restaurants they recommended were all wonderful - The Gettysburger, Olivia’s and The Dobbin House Tavern. We appreciated the use of the downstairs gathering room to meet as a group throughout our stay! The breakfasts were delicious! We really enjoyed Steve sharing the history of the house and Gettysburg in general.

We are so happy with our choice to book the Lightner Farmhouse! Steve was a fantastic host! Sadly Teresa was out of town but we hope to meet her on a return trip. We stayed in the Captain Elias R. Monfort bedroom and enjoyed looking him up and finding his unit's monument on the battlefield. Steve lined up a private overview tour for us through Battlefield Guide Darryl Roberts (who was so kind and knowledgeable!). When my wife was experiencing some battlefield fatigue, Steve recommended we check out Civil War Tails (a cat diorama centered around the war) and it was one of our favorite experiences of the trip. Also, we were inspired by Steve's tin type family photos and booked our own sessions at the Victorian Photography studio! So fun! Our only regret is we could not stay longer, we plan to return to Gettysburg and will of course stay at Lightner Farmhouse B&B!

The house is historic and beautiful with tastefully decorated rooms. The location is a short driving distance from downtown and the battlefield. The delicious breakfast is served from 8 to 9 am, getting you of to a great start. The real difference is the hosts-- Steve and Teresa--who really care about the guest experience. They gave us very helpful information about museums, activities as well as places to eat. We really enjoyed the guest speaker for a fascinating discussion on battlefield statues. We are looking forward to returning to Lightner Farmhouse.

A wonderful location, gracious and informative hosts (Steve sat at breakast each day to talk with their guests-this stimulated discuussions among their guests and he provided excellent information about Gettysburg and the Civil War), and the breakfasts were good with outstanding baked goods and fruit options (the first day fruit was an amazing baked spiral sliced apple with nuts in the core). We enjoyed the country setting (it somehow felt more connected to the rural setting of the battlefield than in town might have provided). The historic Civil War house and accomodations were wonderful (the home, when new, served as a hospital for Union soldiers during the battle). The town is nice w/plenty of dining options.

Innkeepers Teresa and Steve provide warm and satisfying accommodations at their picturesque Civil War retreat that during the July 1863 battle was used as a hospital by the Union 1st Corps. A pre-breakfast lecture on the Battlefield’s monuments is offered before sitting down to a sumptuous breakfast. The Inn is conveniently located, and it is appointed with distinctive furnishings.

What a gem of a B&B, full of charm and coziness! Steve and Teresa are wonderful hosts, very welcoming and knowledgeable about the history of the property and Gettysburg. Upon arrival, Steve offered a very interesting historical background of the property and its role during the battle. Teresa’s breakfasts are delicious! I needed a quiet and relaxing getaway and the location was perfect. Far enough away for peace and quiet, yet close to the town center, the sites, and restaurants. I can’t say enough about this beautiful B&B, highly recommend.

Steve and Teresa, the owners of Lightner Farmhouse B&B, were amazing, they treated us more like family then guests. The house was amazing, the location is great, and the food was excellent. This was our first experience at a B&B and it was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend it to family and friends.

This lovely little gem is perfectly situated about 6 miles from the heart of Gettysburg, away from the crowds. We stayed in the Chase room and it was roomy and comfortable. The photos of Private Chase and the history books in the room were a nice added touch. Breakfasts were absolutely delicious. We appreciated Steve's information on the history of the B&B, as well as his recommendations for tours. We highly recommend the Lightner Farmhouse B&B. There is a beautiful outdoor patio that we weren't able to use due to the weather. We'll be back!
