    My fiancee and I stayed 3 nights at the Keystone Inn January 2-5 2012. as my Christmas Present to her. I had never stayed at a bed and breakfast before and was really taking a risk at trying something new. We booked General Early's Suite. You can often look at pictures online and not get a good idea of what you'll really be getting. The pictures in my opinion don't do the place justice. It is nice warm and cozy, even in the middle of winter. Mike and Marj are wonderful people. They are very social and will be as helpful as needed. Since the purpose of our visit was rest and relaxation, we didn't need much from them other than seclusion which they provided. They will provide you with as little or as much as needed. In the rooms they've thought of everything, coffee and cups ready to go. Mike makes brownies or cupcakes for you to pick up on your way in and out of the place. The whirlpool tub was quite nice, and the library has an excellent selection of books and movies. In the off season this place is an excellent value, for a few dollars more than a budget hotel you can stay 3 nights, get a hot breakfast every morning, and have a whole suite, not just a room. Meals were good, although there is no choice of breakfast, its whatever Mike decides to make. Everything made for breakfast here is very very good, but if you're someone that demands choice you won't get it here unless you have dietary restrictions, which will most certainly be accommodated. If its not too busy Mike and Marj will talk to you over breakfast, which was nice; As I've said they're wonderful social people and Mike is a quasi expert on the Battle of Gettysburg. It is close to the shopping district and main roads. Whether you come here during the off season as we did, or during the tourist season I can't imagine anyone would be very disappointed by staying here. You really can't go wrong.

    The Keystone Inn is magnificent! Everything about it was absolutely perfect. Excellence in every category. Marvelous turn-of-the-century design with all the modern necessities. The amount of oak trim and accents in the interior rooms is a work of art you won't see on an everyday basis. The owners are very friendly and completely accomodating to every need. Breakfast is "first class" and provided in a cozy comfortable dining room. Refereshments are available all day long, especially in the evenings when you can relax and read in a cozy "sitting room" or secluded "library" with a warm brew of your favorite teas, etc. What a treat after a day shopping and sight seeing the town of Gettsyburg. Private parking away from local traffic and walking distance to the town "square". Rates are very reasonable, offering attractive discounts as applies, and better than any other B&B in the area. Can't wait to return for another visit. What a way to bring in the new year!!!
