My husband and I visited the inn and had a wonderful time!! We loved riding our bikes on the trail and sitting out on the porch and watching the people go by. The room was beautiful and the bed was comfy!! The inkeepers were very nice and welcoming. We had a wonderful time and can't wait to visit the inn again!!

We stayed at the Jackson House and stepped back in time. Colonial furnishings, very simple and elegant. Delicious baked oatmeal and egg dish for breakfast. Rail trail is beside the inn, so we rode bikes. Delightful!

Needed a little getaway and found the best bed and breakfast we have ever stayed at. The Jackson House Innkeepers were great and the house was fantastic. I would have to rate this B&B with the best breakfast we have had yet on vacation. Plus it is located right on the Rail Trail; the trail was great for biking.

We came up from Maryland to ride on the Heritage bike trail. The innkeepers were helpful, hospitable, and non-intrusive. The house is a historic building with a great balcony and beautiful back garden and parlor to hang out in. We'll definitely go back.

My wife and I have stayed in probably 25 B&Bs and the Jackson House is in the top 5 for sure. Bob and Pam are very warm, enthusiastic hosts, maybe because they have only been running the B&B for two years and haven't gotten tired of it. We stayed in the Bordello room which was very comfortable and large, and removed from the other guests. They also have a great parlor or common room. And they have a multi-tiered garden in the back with many fountains. The JH is right on the Heritage Rail Trail which makes it very convenient. The breakfast was top notch too, a pear and bree egg thing and baked oatmeal, a PA Dutch treat. A great stay without spending a bundle.

the jackson house was my first bed and breakfast experience. my girlfriend and i spent 2 nights in the the bordello room and couldn't have asked for anything better for thanksgiving weekend. the room was very spacious and nice, the bed was extremely comfortable, and bob and pam did a fantastic job at making us comfortable. we had the pleasure of attending a pot luck and sing on saturday night in the parlour had had the oppurtunity to meet some wonderful people and drink some delicious local wine. the breakfast was delicious and pam was the perfect host. it will be difficult to match this experience at any other bed and breakfast and i would go back in a heartbeat!

My fiance and I stayed in the cottage behind the main house. We were very pleased. It was quite cozy and beautifully decorated. The hot tub was great. Pam was very personable and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. We would like to stay again in the upcoming year.

We received a two-night stay at the Jackson House as a wedding present. We are both sixty-three years old; we have been married six months. We love to ride rails-to-trails on our tandem bike, a "bicycle built for two," and one of our friends put the Jacson House and the Heritage Rail Trail together for us. What a wonderful surprise! The breakfasts were excellent, conversation was lively, and The Jackson Room was beautiful. The king bed was most appropriate and comfortable for newly weds, if you know what I mean! We rode the trail north the first day for 24.5 miles and south the second day for sixteen miles. The trail surface provided a smooth ride, and trail markings provided excellent historic information. The innkeepers were most congenial, accommodations were superior, and the trail beautiful. What more could we want for a romantic getaway? What more could anyone want? Outstanding! The Jackson House is high on our "recommended" list.

We stayed in the "Bordello Room", what a nice room, very comfortable bed and got a great nights sleep. The breakfast was outstanding. Our hosts, Pam & Bob, were great. We can't wait to go back for another relaxing weekend get away. Highly recommend this B & B.

Jackson House was the perfect destination after riding our bikes on the trail. The Stonewall Jackson room was cozy. Breakfast was delicious and Pam, our innkeeper was very helpful with advice on places to eat. The terraced garden was beautiful by I enjoyed the shaded second floor porch... it was the perfect place to read and watch the world go by. We will visit again.

Very Relaxing: The backyard was beautifully landscaped w/ a great hottub. Pam and Bob were wonderful keepers and were very helpful with dinner and activity suggestions. Rooms were somewhat old and could use some repair or upgrading, but very cozy. Very convenient to stores, restaurants and the trail.

We had a very pleasant stay! The room was comfortable. We liked the house decor and style, the back yard is beautiful. We enjoyed an evening and morning walk on the bike trail. The innkeepers were very nice! The bathroom was a liitle small for my tall husband but that can be expected at renovated B&B's.

My husband and I just got back from a 3 night stay at the Jackson House. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about the Inn and it's owners Pam and Bob. This place is absolutely wonderful and we would recommend it to everyone. The breakfast was great, service was wonderful, the Cottage we stayed in was fantastic. This is the perfect place for a getaway, especially for bike riders or people who want to visit the surrounding areas. We have already decided we will be visiting again next year.

This property is outstanding.

What a wonderful location for a B & B. It was right next to the bike trail and we were tired from our bicycle ride. The house was beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Our hosts were both charming and accommodating. The fireplace was lit in the dining room when we arrived for breakfast and the meal was delicious. You can't miss by staying at The Jackson House.

I've been a customer at the bed and breakfast for a while. The service and atmosphere is excellent. Everytime I visit the innkeeprs are excellent. They strive to make every guest welcome and satisfied, and meet all expectations. The Jackson House is the BEST BED AND BREAKFAST.

Pam, the Innkeeeper was very welcoming. When I arrived she said that the chocolate chip cookies would be ready in a bit. I was in my room when I smelled them baking. I had to go down and grab a couple for my walk on the traill right outside of the Jackson House. My room was very pretty & cozy. To relax my business meeting in the morning in York, I used the hot tub that is the backyard...absolutely a must! In the morning, I had a tasty breakfat and great conversation with Pam. I will definitely send friends, family & business partners there for a stay:) While you there try Lamotte's for one of the best crabcakes around but don't expect ambience because it is a corner bar in New freedom.

My wife and I went over Thanksgiving weekend as part of our Tenth Anniversary and stayed in the cottage out back. Between the lovely cottage, the great hospitality, the wonderful breakfast, convenient location and, most importantly, the hot tub in the snow, we were enamored. When we left, we booked again for Valentine's Day Weekend and relived the previous visit. Guess what? Now that we did Fall and Winter, we're going back in the Spring (and Summer). Pam and Bob are welcoming hosts and gave great advice on good local places to eat, as well as insight into local antiquing and factory tours.

My wife and I stayed at the Jackson House as an Anniversary/ Birthday get-away and to ride our bikes. We arrived and were shown all around the Inn and felt welcome and at home and comfortable with all the amenities. We were up and preparing to ride hoping for a hearty breakfast. Wow! Eggs, sausage, waffles, fresh juice and cold water bottles for our bikes. The Heritage Trail (passes right by the inn) is beautiful, clean and very well maintained. After a ride to York (for lunch)and back, a cold beer and a soak in the hot tub (very clean)awaited our return to ease any pains. We can not wait to visit again.

We antique shopped our way to York and checked in with Bob and Pam around 5pm. Bob suggested several places to eat and we went for the crab cakes, they where great, thanks Bob. The bike trail was perfect and breakfast to die for, thanks Pam. All our friends will hear how enjoyable our stay was. Best of luck to you both, thanks again.

We had a great time. The Jackson House is located less than an hour from Gettysburg, York, Lancaster, in PA and Baltimore, MD. We visited all these areas.... George make a great breakfast....

The new owners Pam and Bob have lots of business experience, and they know how to treat guests. They loaned us their personal bike when we had a flat tire, and are fun to chat with during down time. The bed and pillows were so soft and puffy-fluffy that it was hard to leave. The towels were also soft and a pleasure to use. LOVED those bed pillows. Their two dogs were well behaved. The food was great and our stay met all expectations.

My Debbie and I enjoyed a beautiful getaway weekend in the Cottage Suite. George is so friendly he made us feel like we were in a five star B&B.... we were. The Jackson house is a great base of operations to enjoy a dozen or so great PA wineries, as well as the antique capitol of South Central PA in New Oxford. We're telling all of our friends and we'll return soon.

My husband planned a surprise getaway to Jackson House, and we stayed in the adjoining cottage. The room was very pretty, the gas fireplace warm and romantic and the private outdoor jacuzzi under the starry skies delightful. We also enjoyed walking the back gardens and biking the nearby trail. Our host was friendly and accomodating, and the food was delicious and plentiful. I'm looking forward to our next stay!

My stay at The Jackson House was 99.9% perfect. It was immaculate, and equipped with every need incl.lovely toiletries.The decor is warm and elegant and not tacky or frou-frou. I did not see one wooden duck wearing a bonnet!The room colors were soothing yet sophisticated and vibrant. The bed in the Washington room had perfect pillows ( I have a bad neck, and forgot my Temperpedic Pillow so I was nervous),soft cotton pure white sheets and a GREAT mattress. They have TV's in the rooms which some other B&B's are too snooty to include.This elegance and the absence of snooty/tacky is the interesting part of the Jackson House. The breakfast was gourmet and the coffee was wonderful. I am a caffiene addict so I know. When you are greeted by George, the innkeeper, you will be cared for as if by the best NYC concierge. And I promise, you will never meet another innkeeper likeGeorge. George is the embodiment of "never judge a book by it's cover" in the best of all ways! He attends to every detail for the comfort of his guests. The only reason I rated my stay 99.9% was actually my fault. The strong scent of the candles bothered me and when I told him, on my way out of town, he said"Why did't you tell me, I would have blown them out!" And I know for sure he would have done just that.The next time I reserve a room I will call ahead about the candles.Most assuredly my stay will rate 100%.

We had a wonderful weekend and George certainly went over and above what was expected. The inn is lovely, food was to die for the decor was beautiful. We stayed at the cottage which we throughly enjoyed. The whole weekend was great and thanks to the inn and its fablous innkeepers. I have recommended to friends and even given out the web address for those to check it out.

My girlfriend and I went to the Jackson House B&B, which was new for her at staying at a B&B. My girlfriend just loved the nice setting and the niceness of the B&B. The fresh cookies and the candles burning leave you with the old fashion home cooked meal aroma. The nice glow of the fire in the wood stove sets the stage for a romantic getaway from home. Being from Harrisburg, Pa, the Jackson House B&B was just far enough away from home but not too far. We loved the room we stayed in and plan on coming back to the B&B in the near future. This stay at the Jackson House was on our 1 year anniversary of dating each other. What a great place to stay.

My husband and I really enjoyed this B&B. We stayed in the Cottage which offered more privacy than the traditional B&B room as it's separate from the house. The room was quaint, comfortable and included a gas fire place! The hot tub is just outside the cottage -- which is a great bonus! George was a great host and made a mean breakfast. :) We would definitely visit again.

My wife and I never stayed at a b&b before, but needed a little getaway from our children. We picked the Jackson House, they had a nice web site. We were greeted at the door by our names, he knew who we were, this made us feel totally at ease. Plus you felt right at home as soon as you walked in. The house was very nice and clean. There were several other couples there also, and at breakfast it was really nice talking with everyone. Oh breakfast was very good. I had to ask George for the recipe. We had a wonderfull experience and will stay at bed and breakfasts regularly now. Plus we already booked to return to the Jackson House

My company was doing work in Shrewbury, Pa and we needed a place to stay. After doing a search on the internet we found this B&B. It looked really nice on the web so we booked it for a whole week. Well the internet pictures do not due this place justice, it was totally beautiful. Also the breakfasts were great, its a big change from staying in hotels all the time when working away from home. Compliments to the owner,George, for doing a great job while we were there. This will change our minds on staying at hotels in the future, B&B's are the way to go!

We have stayed in several B & B's but this one was the best so far. From the welcome and great conversations with George and the other guests to the great breakfasts. Our room, the Willie G, couldn't have been nicer. The bed was very comfortable. We swapped Harley stories with George and we also swapped recipes. We now plan on making a trip there again with our Harley friends.

I received a weekend at the Jackson House as a Christmas present from my honey. I’m going to have to say it was one of the best Christmas presents ever! The Jackson house was warm and welcoming.

Since this was my first time at a B&B, I thought I share my experience. From the outside the Jackson house looked very welcomeing, but as soon as we stepped inside we felt totally at home and comfortable. George gave us a tour of the whole house and it was beautifully restored.We stayed in the Willie G suite and it was just soooo nice, the private entrance was nice to get to the hot tub without going thru the house. We toured the winery's while we were there and PA has some very nice wines, George was so helpfull with all the info. we needed to go off to hit the winery's. You must check them out! This is one stay that we will always remember, you should make sure you visit this B&B. Make sure to ask george to make the French toast for breakfast!

Our stay at The Jackson House B&B was wonderful. The innkeepers have thought of every need and desire of their guests and met them exceedingly! The whole feel of The Jackson House B&B was homey, confortable and relaxed. The innkeepers were available but allowed you time to yourselves. George made the most fantastic breakfast that my husband is still raving about - Baked Pecan French Toast was the main dish, and the side of scramble farm fresh free range eggs were second to none. You could taste the difference to regular store bought eggs. We highly recommend The Jackson House B&B to any and all. Centrally located, a few miles off I-83, right next to the Rail Trail and close to quaint antique stores and shops, and a few really really good restaurants! Directly across the street is a crab house restaurant with their fresh catch (crab pots sits outside as evidence of that!) The only drawback to this B&B is there are steep interior stairs - so if you are unable to walk up or down stairs - wait a few months til they have their little private cottage renovation complete and you will be set. You will only have a few steps up to the outside hot tub! A unqiue and wonderful stay!

While sitting in this great suite at the Jackson House Bed and Breakfast, I thought I let everyone know how nice a place this is. When we pulled up to the B&B last night, we were amazed at how pretty the B&B was decorated for Christmas. When we walk in the whole house was nicely decorated. The innkeepers have been great and go out of there way for us. I can see now why they were voted 3rd best. We will be back, we have family in the area and this is the best B&B in the york area.
