As a lover of all things paranormal, when I saw that this inn boasted paranormal activity I was sold on spending the night. However, after reading the previous reviews on the accommodations and service, I had my reservations. To my dismay, my stay at the inn fell terribly short of my expectations. Although I had a great paranormal experience in... more

My sister treated me to a night at the Farnsworth for my 50th birthday. The staff were wonderful and friendly and the building was gorgeous. No bugs, rude employees, or dirty rooms. Only thing was paper on ceiling was peeling, but as to the fact this is a bed and breakfast and not hotel....that was acceptable. Our guide Mike was... more

The Farnsworth House is very mis-leading. The rooms are terrible. Not only are they dark, the rooms are dirty. They have tours through the house and it makes it impossible to get in and out of your room. The ghost tours are TERRIBLE!! The 'country breakfast ' consists of toaster and microwave foods. DO NOT STAY HERE- we are very... more

I had reservations for dinner and a show for 10 people. I will start with the nice. The only nice waitress in the whole place was Topaz which fortunately was our waitiress. The dining area is so small that the waitresses are nasty as they have to maneuver around people in the dining area and the bar to squeeze through.... more

We did not stay in the main building of the Farnsworth, but if you are looking for the paranormal experience, the main building is where it's at! We stayed in the separate suites to the left of the main house. The one we stayed in was called "The Belle Boyd". These are very uniquely decorated, with gorgeous four post beds,... more

A friend of mind stayed here last month and said that there were roaches in the rooms and in the restaurant. They had several roaches in their bathroom and also in their bed!! I actually had reservations to stay here in mid-December and I've been trying to cancel for weeks and they are COMPLETELY ignoring me!! I cannot get a... more

There are no roaches in our establishment. Perhaps there is some confusion with another inn or hotel.

On sat night, the night before my trip, I go onto their website for the Farnsworth house. It shows 2 rooms open for Sun Night. I was happy and excited and quickly booked one of the rooms. On the website, I entered all the info needed include Credit card and address. The next morning we are driving to Gettysburg, me... more

I stopped in to check out their books because people on here said they had a great selection. When I walked in, I was the only one in the room, and after walking around several minutes past the woman behind the counter, she never so much as acknowledged my presence. Is it so hard to say "hi, is there something... more

This August my family took a trip to DC and one of those days we took a drive to Gettysburg. We had a great day touring the battlefield and checking the town out. We decided to do one of the ghost tours. There are so many in the area we had done are research before hand and decided to go... more
