    Signature Dish

    Orange French toast
    Our guests' favorite dish is this oven-baked french toast. Dipped in orange juice and egg instead of milk, and topped with brown sugar, cinnamon and orange peel, this dish is topped with mandarin orange slices and served with homemade orange syrup. Very yummy.

    My husband & I throughly enjoyed our first visit to a bed & breakfast and we had a wonderful experience. Carol & Rich are great people & they have the perfect personality to making their guests feel welcomed & at ease, as well as Rich 's knowledge of the Inn and the area and the great breakfast dishes that Carol creates for all. The Inn is beautifully decorated in the Victorian era and everything is clean and very inviting. We really had a great first experience in the Bechtel Victorian Mansion Inn B & B.

    We stayed in the Parlor Suite which was very nice. Food was tasty and the Innkeepers were very nice. We were even visited by Flossie's Spirit during both nights of our stay.


    Worth the trip!

    Recently, my husband and I stayed at Bechtel for a long getaway weekend; this was our first experience with a Bed and Breakfast, and we certainly were not let down!! Carol and Richard work very hard to keep this victorian style mansion to its absolute peak; it was clean, comfortable, and inviting! The only draw back of staying at this location versus other B and B's in the area is that Bechtel is located in East Berlin, which is about 30 minutes away from Gettysburg... but it is a pretty drive, and East Berlin is a quaint old town with a lot of character.

    This is a beautifully decorated victorian inn. The breakfast was wonderful. We enjoyed the lovely little town and had an excellent dinner at "Sidney."

    We wanted a mini 2nd honeymoon and Rich and Carol were very accomodating. We have been to several B&B's and this one is a little gem. Their breakfast was always ready when we came down and was delicious. Orange French Toast was surprisingly wonderful. We have nothing negative to say and encourage all to try this place.
