This beautiful Victorian home, located along a tree-lined street of gracious homes in the north end of Chambersburg, was built in 1880 by John Watson Craig(1830-1908). Mr. Craig "...was an able and successful farmer, carrying on his occupation successively at Welsh Run, Shippensburg, Chambersburg and Mercersburg. He returned from Mercersburg to Chambersburg in 1882 and in partnership with Thomas M. Nelson, successfully carried on ... a large lumber business. In 1898 he retired from active business and quietly attended to the affairs of his large estate. In disposition he was generous and kind and his friends always found a warm welcome awaiting them under his kindly roof." Guests are welcomed to large, pleasant, air-conditioned bedrooms with views of Dogwood and Maple trees. The Mansions porches, patios, and lawn are available for your relaxation. The Mansion features three large common rooms with fireplaces and a dining room on the first floor. 19th century architecture and intricate wood carving is found throughout the Mansion, from the corner turret, to the elaborately designed and crafted foyer and open staircase leading to the third floor. A family collection of antiques enhance the richness of the Mansion.

April 13, 2013
For someone who does not like to travel, I was pleasantly surprised to stay awhile and meet two lovely people who have added a delicate touch to the world of bed and breakfast. A lot of care goes on behind the scenes and the weary traveler reaps all the benefits. I look forward to needing to stop at Craig Victorian Bed and Breakfast again.
5 out of 5Lovely weekend getaway! Hospitable innkeepers & lovely rooms!!
December 30, 2012
My first experience at a b&b was fantastic! We were running late upon check in Friday night- but a quick call to Roger and he was waiting for us upon arrival! To say the innkeepers are accommodating is an understatement! From the time we wanted breakfast served, to our hair dryer request & ice bucket request, helping us carry bags to our room---they went over and above to make us comfortable! (Roger even cleaned the snow off our car so when we were ready to venture out- we would be good to go!) so impressed with the level of thoughtfulness in every small detail! The in room mini fridge with waters, soda and snacks was a great touch too! Breakfast was divine! Day 1 large fruit cup, eggs (cooked to order), bacon and delicious French toast! Day 2- large fruit cup, a hearty omelet that rivaled the quality & taste of some 5 star restaurants!! Green peppers, mushrooms, sausage & cheese!! They won't let you leave the table hungry!!! Oh and don't forget the banana nut bread! Was equally delicious!! We spent a great deal of time in our room and enjoyed the decor and amenities! Comfy robes- super towels & great bedding!! I took a tour of the inn with Barb and was in awe of how expansive the inn was! 3 floors- large comfortable rooms! Beautiful decorating & colors throughout!! They have put so many era appropriate fixtures in place while having all the modern conveniences! Truly a gem!!!!

Only stayed one quick night, but the room was gorgeous and clean. The house and grounds are very pretty and the hosts were quite friendly. Good rate too. A very good experience.

My husband and I travel through Chambersburg at least 2-3 times a year and every time we do we stay at the Craig Victorian. I gotta tell ya, this house is absolutely beautiful. We usually stay in the Royal Cranberry or the Tea Rose rooms (our favorites). I sleep like a baby, and the sheets smell terrific! Breakfast is always delicious, and you won't go hungry. Barb and Roger are real gems. We've told them they can't retire because we won't stay anywhere else in Chambersburg. If you're traveling through town, you have to stay at the Craig Victorian...you won't be sorry.

5 out of 5A Sister Getaway
October 18, 2012
My sister and I just spent a short weekend in Chambersburg visiting our uncle. This is our third time to stay at the Craig Victorian, and that is the only reason it didn't exceed our expectations. We knew exactly what we would be getting, a beautiful room (which we request every time because it is perfect for us), the most luxurious beds ever, a delicious country breakfast cooked to order, a convenient location, and the most comfortable ambience we could ask for. We will be back!!!
5 out of 5Never disappoints
October 18, 2012
Just stayed for the 3rd time, and everything is as I remembered it....perfect. We spend most of our days out doing other things, but the time we spend at the Craig Victorian is wonderful...oh so comfortable beds and an amazing breakfast...isn't that what a Bed and Breakfast should be? We will continue to stay here everytime we visit the area.
4.8 out of 5Another wonderful stay - our 4th .
July 17, 2012
The care the hosts take to accommodate their guests is unbeliveable. They are very flexible on the breakfast menu regarding special diets etc. In reading the guest book in the room, I am shocked that almost no one mentions how reasonable the rates are . Many do say they have not stayed in many inns . I have and I would say rates here are MUCH less than any comparable inns - especially in New England and California. There are a few tiny things I would change . I would like an isulated ice bucket in the room so ice will last and hair dryers would be a nice addition .
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for your favorable comments. Barb and I work very hard to try and please our guest. We do have hair driers, ice buckets,filled with ice,irioning boards and irons available to our guest. Please ask. Roger5 out of 5Close to the Battlefield

Was there for a weekend getaway with a friend and stayed in the room with the screened porch. The owners let us look at all the rooms and showed us the bed and breakfast and you could tell they enjoyed owning this wonderful home. The breakfasts were delicious and it was nice to sit down with other guests and enjoy home cooked food. They accomodate the breakfast menus if you have any food allergies or if you just want something different than what was prepared. Great choices! The neighborhood is beautiful and one can enjoy walking and sitting on the porch for the serenity. Gettysburg is just a short skip away and this was a very enjoyable experience. I thank Dave for taking me there and thank the owners for such an enjoyable experience.
