    Excellent B&B

    March 18, 2013

    This was an excellent B&B. Hosts were very hospitable. Rooms were beautiful and very clean. Breakfast was very plentiful and delicious. Location was near to many attractions in Shippensburg as well as surrounding communities. It's a "must stay" place!!

    Lovely home & innkeepers!

    February 23, 2013

    Dykeman House is a beautiful historic home that has been lovingly restored. Located in the scenic countryside of Pennsylvania. Shelley and John are great innkeepers and make you feel very welcome. Looking forward to visiting again.

    Like meeting old friends....

    September 29, 2012

    Meeting John and Shelly for the first time felt like we must have met them before....great people and so accommodating. We had to leave a bit early the next morning and there was breakfast waiting for us. And what a breakfast it was...wonderful! The B & B is so easy to get to from the interstate too. We hope we will have the opportunity to spend the night again sometime. Thank you so much. Tony and Bertie

    One of the best B & B's we have stayed at

    July 19, 2012

    Hi, Both my husband and myself have stayed at B & B's in the UK, USA and Canada and we have to say this is one of the best we have ever stayed at. The owners are friendly, the room was wonderful (the picture on the web site does not do it justice) and the food was awesome. We were down in PA at a car show and our Challenger had a challenge...the battery died. We were ten miles from B & B, we called and the John came to where we were, picked up my husband and took him to have it replaced. After all of this we were greeted at the door of Dykeman House by Shelly who had place a bottle of wine with cheese and crackers out for us. The breakfasts was wonderful and plenty of very tasty food which filled us up. Our stay was great and we have already booked in for next year. Doris and Bill Knox Canada

    Very Charming B/B

    July 03, 2012

    I recently traveled to Shippensburg for a family reunion, the Dykeman B/B was recommended and Iam glad it was. I found the Dykeman to have a wonderful charm about it. The inside is beautifully decorated and the rooms are very comfortable and relaxing. Every morning they served a wonderful breakfast. Its owner Shelly and John Davidson are very friendly and gracous inkeepers that attend to there guests every need. If your looking for a quite charming place to stay,stay at the Dykeman B/B

    Delightful stay at the Dykeman House

    June 02, 2012

    John and Shelly are hosts to a charming historic B&B with all of the modern amenities, yummy treats and personal, warm service a busy traveler could need. From the cozy room to the comfortable bed and new private bathroom (with great hot water pressure) to the excellent breakfast, wine and cheese and the special peanut butter cookies, there was a lovely surprise at every turn. Time spent reading and chatting in a number of their perfectly placed porch rocking chairs and a generously shaded hammock, listening to the waterfall, left me feeling relaxed and ready to enjoy the State wide track meet hosted by Shippensburg University. I highly recommend John and Shelly’s Dykeman House.
