Circa 1897. Sip lemonade while relaxing on one of the wraparound porches of this 1897 Colonial Revival mansion. Nap in the hammock, play horseshoes or croquet. Enjoy watching the water fountain bubbling into a trickling stream that flows to the pond with a bridge and garden railroad. Guest bedrooms feature a Victorian or English Country décor. Stay in the two-room Bucher Suite with a gas log fireplace and private balcony. A hearty breakfast includes fresh fruit, homemade granola, sweet breads, pancakes or an egg entrée. Recipes of popular dishes were requested so frequently a cookbook is available for purchase. Walk to historic downtown on the Susquehanna River. Take a driving tour of historic Gettysburg. Specials and packages are offered.
