Mary-Penn Bed and Breakfast


  • Inn Details

    The Mary-Penn is a farm house from 1743 that is split in two by the mason dixon line. In 2008 Bea and David Waybright opened the Mary–Penn Bed and Breakfast after renovations to enhance the comfort of its guests. The house consists of three bedrooms upstairs — two in Maryland and one in Pennsylvania, which has access to a smaller room with a single bed.A newly remodeled bathroom includes a whirlpool tub with shower.The first floor features a charming parlor, breakfast room (perfect for family-style dining), kitchen, bed room and a full bath and a large family room added in 1990 that overlooks Marsh Creek. A basement with a large, stone fireplace on the Maryland side is used as a sitting room and game room and has access to the outdoors. The house itself is situated on the back 200 acres of the 900-acre Waybright family farm at the end of a one mile lane. Don’t forget to take a walk and see the two mason Dixon line mile markers.

    Such a nice time with a quiet setting, wonderful hosts, and yummy food. We've stayed here twice and have not been disappointed. Thanks Bea and Dave!

    This was my first time ever staying at a bed and breakfast and it by far exceeded all my expectations. Bea was an amazing host, I felt like I was part of her family within minutes of stepping inside her bed and breakfast. The history of the house is amazing, it is so fascinating to step back in time and understand how American history unfolded within the house. Each room in the house is very nicely decorated and made me feel right at home. Bea cook's a delicious breakfast, and my favorite part of the whole stay is the warm conversations I had throughout my time there!

    We just loved the Mary-Penn. We would definitely come back. The house was beautiful with a very interesting history. Our hosts were wonderful. They made us feel very much at home and welcome. The night time snacks were just right and the morning breakfast was fantastic!! Two other couple stayed the night too. It was fun to talk to them but we still felt like we had our privacy and space. It was a little way out of Gettysburg but well worth the stay. The property was just beautiful. We even saw deer which is always a treat. Loved it!!

    What an enchanting place this B & B is! The property is beautiful-cozy furnishings & linens; the rich history envelopes you and beckons you back to the late 1700's; and the host/hostess David & Bea, they're as colorful, fresh, and sweet as the delicious Blueberry French Toast served at their wonderful brunch. I can't wait to return again! JoAnn from the Colorado Rockies

    Although this property is somewhat secluded (outside the Gettysburg town proper) it is a beautiful historic inn well worth the effort to find it. Innkeepers Bea and David Waybright are enthusiastic and extremely gracious hosts, going well out of their way to make us feel welcome, giving us directions to our destinations and helping us get settled. Rooms are spotlessly clean, appointed with exquisite quilts and quality bed and bath linens, making for a very comfortable stay. Although there are two shared bathrooms in this late 18th Century farmhouse that sits on the Mason-Dixon line, the guests are courteous (in our experience) and sharing the bathrooms was no problem. Breakfast was abundant and exceptionally well-prepared -- no one leaves their table wanting for anything else!
