Built in 1844, the main house and some of the out buildings would have been well-known to Army officers on their way to Gettysburg, just 15 minutes away. Nowadays, it's a favorite secret retreat for all kinds of celebrities and politicians! An overnight stay here practically transports you to another place and time. There are lots of quiet and not-so-quiet activities on the grounds, too. A secluded swimming pool that's open for relaxing even when the pool isn't, tennis court, croquet lawn, horseshoes and badminton add to the back-in-time charm. In the near future, new walking trails and a spa will grace the property. Many of the rooms – even the cozy upstairs rooms – have wood-burning or gas fireplaces. There's a gourmet restaurant and elegant pub on site.
