Where to Stay in Gettysburg: Inns, B&Bs, and Hotels

Choosing where to sleep in Gettysburg matters as much as what you do during the day. The right lodging can turn a good trip into an unforgettable one. Here is our breakdown of every type of lodging in town.

Featured Stay: The Baladerry Inn

If you want a Gettysburg getaway that feels more like a private retreat than a hotel stay, the Baladerry Inn is one of the most distinctive places to stay in the area. Set on a wooded estate minutes from the battlefield, it pairs historic charm with a few extras you will not find at any chain hotel — most notably a private barrel sauna tucked in the trees.

The inn itself is a striking mix of red brick and light siding with tall chimneys and a steep brown-shingled roof. At golden hour, warm light glows through the windows and the lawn turns the color of honey — it is the kind of scene that makes you want to arrive early and stay on the porch with a glass of wine.

The barrel sauna is the headline amenity. Heated, lit by fairy lights strung through the surrounding trees, and completely private — it is the perfect way to end a day of walking the battlefield or browsing downtown shops. To check dates and book directly, visit BaladerryInn.com.

Bed and Breakfast in Gettysburg, PA

A bed and breakfast in Gettysburg, PA is the quintessential Gettysburg experience. Most B&Bs are historic homes with character you simply cannot replicate: heart-pine floors, working fireplaces, screened porches, and breakfast cooked by the innkeeper. The Getty House is one of these — a Civil War-era home that sleeps up to 8 guests.

Gettysburg Bed and Breakfast Inns

Gettysburg bed and breakfast inns range from romantic two-room B&Bs with private baths to whole-house rentals like The Getty House. If you are planning a Gettysburg bed and breakfast wedding, look for an inn that offers full-house rental — the bride and groom can host the ceremony and reserve rooms for the wedding party in the same place. For a romantic couples retreat with sauna privileges, the Baladerry Inn is also worth a look.

Inns in Gettysburg, PA

Inns in Gettysburg, PA tend to sit halfway between a B&B and a hotel — more rooms, more amenities, still locally-owned. Many of these inns are within walking distance of Lincoln Square.

Hotels in Gettysburg, PA

The hotels in Gettysburg, PA are concentrated along Route 30 / Route 15. They are convenient and consistent, but they lack the historic charm of staying downtown. If you want location over luxury, a downtown B&B or a private estate like the Baladerry Inn is almost always the better choice.

Camping in Gettysburg, PA

Prefer to sleep under the stars? Camping in Gettysburg, PA includes family-friendly campgrounds with full hookups, primitive tent sites, and even glamping options — most within 15 minutes of the battlefield.

Places to Stay in Gettysburg, PA: How to Choose

When looking at places to stay in Gettysburg, PA, ask yourself:

• Do you want to walk to dinner and shops, or are you OK driving in?

For groups of 4 to 8, a whole-house B&B rental like The Getty House gives you privacy, a full kitchen, three bedrooms, a private deck, and a historic downtown location — all at a per-person rate that beats most hotels. Book direct and save up to 15%. For a romantic couples stay with a private sauna and wooded grounds, explore the Baladerry Inn.
