    I stayed here over New Years 2011/2012 during a visit to Gettysburg. The McLean House is beautiful, and Jan Rose was very friendly and hospitable. Her breakfasts were excellent, and she was eager to share the history of her lovely home and the town of Shippensburg - lots of incredible stories. The view of the creek from the breakfast table is worth the visit alone. Highly recommended, and I look forward to visiting again in the future. 5 stars all the way around. -Mark H. Georgia

    This is a gorgeous, impecably neat and clean house with wonderful charm and character. I was greeted with warmth and made to feel very welcome. Accommodations are beyond comfortable with numerous amenities. Breakfast was delicious and attention to detail most evident.

    We have been staying here at least 10 years. We used to go to have a little alone time without our kids; it was always very relaxing and rejuvenating. Jan is so hospitable -- we always feel so welcome and she knows so much about the area -- very helpful. Rooms comfortable, beautiful old home, picturesque. This year we took 2 of our married kids with us -- it was great!

    This place is a step back in time! Every room is impeccably furnished in tradition! The room was so comfy and inviting, the breakfast scrumptious, and the host Jan was wonderful! The price was unbelievably priced! If you contemplate staying in the area, I highly recommend this place!

    Lovely B & B right in the heart of town and very reasonably priced. Great breakfasts and very nicely appointed rooms in a beautiful old house. A perfect place to stay to explore the area and close to Gettysburg.
