The Brafferton Inn - Historic 1786 property with period-style rooms and garden views in downtown Gettysburg
Dating back to 1786, The Brafferton Inn stands as the oldest deeded house in downtown Gettysburg, located 557.7 ft from Lincoln Square. This historic Gettysburg hotel features 18 individually decorated rooms and 9 suites, ranging from Colonial to Victorian styles. Accommodations include rooms with king beds, jacuzzi tubs, gas fireplaces, and private balconies overlooking the garden deck. The original 1815 dining room, adorned with a period folk mural by Virginia Mcgloughlan, serves daily breakfast. Guest amenities include complimentary WiFi, 24-hour coffee service, and DirecTV in rooms. Common areas feature original artwork by Keith Rocco and a library stocked with Civil War literature. The Brafferton Inn's central position puts guests within walking distance of antique shops, art galleries, Civil War shops, restaurants, museums, and ghost tours.
Pros
Property features the original 18th-century architecture with exposed stone walls and wide plank wood floors
Located in a prime spot just half a block from Lincoln Square
Beautiful garden and outdoor deck area provides ample seating spaces

“The Brafferton Inn impresses with its deep roots in Gettysburg history and prime spot near the town square; the homemade breakfasts and hands-on care from the family owners stand out. Rooms range from Colonial to Victorian, plus the outdoor garden offers quiet relaxation. In my opinion, this inn balances historic charm and modern comfort.”
