My husband and I went for my 62nd b.day and it was wonderful!  We stayed in room 2 and it was charming and cozy.  We loved the fireplace and the bed was the most comfortable bed I have slept in.....including our own.  I did have a paranormal experience in this room, with someone (my husband was asleep) saying "swish" once i turned the lights out.  The breakfast was amazing and absolutely delicious .  We will definitely be back.

Wonderful birthday

Steve Wolf and the staff at the Inn at Herr’s Ridge could not have been more accommodating. We loved spending three nights at this historic property while touring the Gettysburg Battlefield. The Inn is authentic, used for a few days as a hospital by the Confederate Army during the Battle. It’s located high on a ridge overlooking fields and mountains.  As you drive towards the battlefield on Route 30, you can visualize the Confederate troops moving into place.  And the monuments along the way, especially the statue of General Reynolds, killed in action on the first day of the battle, are stunning. We loved entering Gettysburg from this direction and were glad that we didn’t stay in town.  

The photos on this listing are misleading. The Inn used to be a larger fine dining venue but has reduced services since COVID. There is no fine dining at this writing, October 2023. However, the Livery Bar & Grill is next door with good bar food and very convenient after a day of touring.  We were really glad not to have to drive back into town and deal with Gettysburg parking. The rooms are spacious and clean with antique furnishings. Floors are creaky, lighting is subdued, and the WiFi is not great in some rooms. This is an HISTORIC INN, not a modern hotel.  But we loved living the history, and found the experience delightful.  The complimentary breakfast was delicious, too! Thanks again to Steve and his staff for a great stay!

Historic Property Is Delighful!

Inn at Herr Ridge is our favorite place to stay in Gettysburg.  All the rooms are different and uniquely decorated.  There are so many wonderful period pieces to look at throughout the building.  The building is spacious and there are nice common areas throughout.  The included breakfast is a wonderful treat.  Steve, the owner is great, very friendly and a wealth of information. 
Looking forward to our next visit!

Wonderful!

We stayed in room one in the old part of the house.  We stay there every time we visit Gettysburg.  Our room is always very clean and the bed was very comfortable.  The breakfast in the morning is always good.  

Our favorite place to stay in Gettysburg

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at The Inn at Herr’s Ridge on Memorial Day weekend.  It is a charming place that was built in 1815. We were greeted by the delightful owner, Steve, who showed us to our room.  We chose room 16 which is in an adjacent, more modern building.  There is a lovely common area consisting of a small kitchen, dining room and sitting room. Our room was quite spacious and the bed was very comfortable.  The jacuzzi in the bathroom was a nice bonus!  Our children surprised us with a bottle of wine and charcuterie board which we enjoyed on our private deck overlooking the woods towards the battlefield.  Some friendly ghosts harmlessly moved around an empty water bottle on our table much to our surprise!  I really wanted to give the inn 5 stars but it was disappointing that the fine dining restaurant and bar area in the main building was not open yet.  We really looked forward to trying it out.  The more casual restaurant and bar was open next door.  We did not sample any meals there but did enjoy a drink or two.  Willy cooked a delicious breakfast for guests each day, his waffles were amazing! We will definitely return to the inn in the future and recommend it to everyone.

Charming place to stay

This inn is so historic and unique.  It was everything we hoped for and we will definitely be returning!  Steve and Diane were wonderful hosts and so helpful as it was our first trip to Gettysburg.
Breakfast was delicious every morning.  Two nights we ate at the Livery and it was also very good.  It has a comfortable pub like feel and a large menu.  The cook, Willie, came out to chat both nights.  We had AMAZING apple cupcakes for dessert and the balsamic vinaigrette was outstanding. 
The inn has a certain reputation for special "visitors" and we did have some interesting experiences in room 11 and the downstairs hallway.   


We held my sister’s 60th birthday party at the Inn at Herr Ridge and it was a smashing success!  It was easy to book, the staff was incredibly attentive, the food was great and we all had a wonderful time.  I’m sincerely grateful to them for their great service and hospitality!!

Birthday Party

I just returned from a gal-pals getaway -- really, all my oldest friend and I wanted was a weekend without kids, husbands and pets to just catch up and regain our old rhythm. We chose Pennsylvania's Gettysburg, not so much for the battlefields, which we have both been to and respect and appreciate, but for its perfect location between our somewhat distant regional hometowns. It's a beautiful region, beyond the history, which of course is a momentous thing. 

We chose the Inn at Herr Ridge, a mile or so out of town and in battlefield country, over the in-town Gettysburg Hotel. I'm not sure why. Both properties looked lovely. I'm glad we ended up here. It's an unpretentious country inn (though it labels itself a b&b) in that you don't have to have breakfast with strangers, you have your own lovely rooms that are a blend of history and mod cons (like gas fireplace and air-con), and the folks who work here, from the owner to staff, all make you feel welcome. 

What we didn't know before we booked, and want to share, is that rooms are stretched across at least two buildings. I was in the original, historic building, and particularly loved the clawfoot tub in the bathroom. My pal was in what essentially was a reasonably newly built house, on the grounds, that had been divvied up into guest rooms. I think we both preferred the original building, for character, and yet her room looked lovely, too. 

What we loved most about the Inn at Herr Ridge was the Livery, its reasonably newly revamped bar/tavern/pub, located in a barn on the property, and I'll review that separately. If at first we were dismayed that we were driving distance from downtown and its eateries, from our first meal at the Livery we fell in love with the place, totally for the vast (and yet amazing, in everything we ordered) menu to its family-like (well, who am I kidding, they seemed like family and made you feel a part of it too). 

So we spent our days exploring the battlefields, the gorgeous farm country all around us, the baby Appalachian mountains and some darling college towns, in addition to Gettysburg. We especially loved Carlisle, home of Dickinson College, a gorgeous 45 minute drive (on winding country roads). 

Anyway, back to the Inn at Herr Ridge and our relaxed dinners after a couple of busy days touring. Heartily recommend it. It was lovely to have a cocktail, then a delicious pub dinner, and simply stroll back to your room; the fellow dinner guests all seemed to be locals. 

Be patient; the staffing issues plaguing so many lovely hotels and inns are impacting the inn and Livery too, but we didn't feel a bit neglected. In fact, we'll be back.

Peaceful respite, loved this place

The Inn at Herr Ridge is steeped in history. We stayed there as a launching point to tour the battleground as well as some of the nearby towns. Our room was spacious and very comfortable. Breakfast was served in the onsite restaurant. 
During our stay, we really enjoyed sitting on the rooftop deck in the evening and the meal we had at The Livery restaurant.

Historic lodging in Gettysburg

Extended family (11 of us) planned a long weekend in Gettysburg and decided to book our stay at the Inn at Herr Ridge.  We booked all 5 rooms (14-18) in the Anna Herr house and several rooms in the original building.  We couldn't have made a better choice.  Rooms were spacious and well kept. Jacuzzi tubs were such a nice touch!  A few of us arrived a few days early and got massages in the massage room on site. So relaxing!  And, when the rest of the family arrived mid week, the lnn staff made sure the house and rooms were well stocked, and even left a tray of home baked cookies on the dining room table.  Over the top kindness and service during our entire stay, including at breakfast.  We had our own room in the main building where we were served breakfast every day.  The Innkeeper, Diane, and one of the Inn staffers, Jess, remembered everyone's drink choices and even made one of our younger crew her favorite yummy bacon every day.  And, having a restaurant on site that served lunch and dinner with good food was so convenient for everyone. Take out was great and dining inside was a nice option too.  The staff even set us up for a nice birthday party in the back room of the restaurant for our young niece, and she loved it.  She still talks about her new friends, Diane and Jess.  The Inn is just a few minutes from downtown Gettysburg and the battlefield, so easy to see sites and shop.  We would head back to the house for a night of games, snacks and cocktails each night.  Really made a lot of nice memories. 

Thanks to Diane, Jess, and everyone else for making our stay so fabulous! Cannot wait to do it again!
