    The atmosphere of the Doubleday Inn was amazing. It is located on the battlefield in a quiet relaxing atmosphere. My husband and I are very active individuals and thought this may be something we would not enjoy at first. Much to our surprise we were only about a mile or 2 from the center of town. The B&B gave us a great location to get away and relax for a short period of time during the day before going on our evening ghost tours! Christine and Todd were amazing hosts! They both went above and beyond with giving maps of directions for everywhere we went, providing us with background information and even helping us locate a local health facility for my husband who became sick during our stay. The B&B was very clean, comfortable and well kept. Each day after breakfast Todd & Christine would put out tea, coffee, water and fresh baked cookies that they prepared themselves. Everything was wonderful and inviting. We can't wait to go back!

    We really enjoyed this visit. Christine and Todd were very helpful with directions, suggestions, etc... And the breakfasts were very good. We will definitely stay here again on our next visit. We thank them again for suggesting for us to eat at the Cashtown Inn.

    The room was as described and met my expectations. Christine and Todd were gratious and helpful innkeepers. They had great advice on dining choices. The location is on the battlefield where the first day's battle occurred. I would stay at Doubleday Inn again and would refer it, especiallyto those who want the location on the battlefield.
