The Inn At Ragged Edge

What a great place to stay! Stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. Slept like a baby and the breakfast was amazing! The inn keeper Barb, baked (!) my breakfast omelette in the oven for 40min! I dont think i have ever been that pampered before.

The house (mansion, really) is beautifully preserved with gorgeous wood paneling and bannisters and lovely views of woods and a creek. Despite its size, it is spotlessly clean, and despite its age, the bathrooms are massive and modern. So it’s the perfect combination of an immersion into a privileged past — the place was once a railroad baron’s summer retreat — with very contemporary conveniences. There was a whirlpool bath in our room. The breakfast of baked eggs, yogurt and fruit was sumptuous, and the coffee is very good. The owners, Barb and Ken, said they serve their own locally roasted blend of Asian and South American beans.
Barb is not only a talented innkeeper, but a talented musician as well. She sat down briefly at the Steinway grand and played a piece for us when we got back from dinner.
We arrived with a problem: I had a piece of furniture that wouldn’t fit in my car. Barb graciously found a spot for me to stash it until I could arrange transport, and when I told Ken I was sorry about the inconvenience, he said, «What inconvenience?» Very kind.

Beautiful immaculate inn and property. Hosts were wonderful caring people. Would highly recommend.

My husband and I greatly enjoyed this charming inn! We had a very relaxing time strolling the grounds, sitting on the porch, and soaking in the whirlpool tub in our room. The best part of the visit for me was breakfast – I am gluten intolerant, and they were very accommodating, serving gluten free shortbread and GF pancakes.

My wife and I recently stayed at the Inn at Ragged Edge in beautiful southern PA. The house is amazing, as is the staff. The owners, Lew and Fran, are absolutely delightful and live on property. Several wood-​burning fireplaces remain burning 24 hours a day during the winter thanks to Lew.
The rooms are spectacular! We stayed in Hearthside, a beautiful suite with a king sized bed and fireplace. The jetted tub was a delight for my wife.
Breakfasts – we were there two days – were amazing and Lew offered seconds of anything that was served.
The home sits upon it’s namesake, the breath-​taking Ragged Edge, a cliff overlooking a babbling brook running through a pristine forest setting. With over seven acres, the property is a delightful stroll.
We can’t wait to go back and look forward to seeing the Inn during spring or fall.
With this year’s celebration of 150 years since the Battle at Gettysburg, get your reservations in soon! They often run Living Social two-​day deals that would cost less than most hotels in the area. I expect I’ll be seeing more reviews like mine here with respect to the Inn at Ragged Edge.

The Inn at Ragged Edge was a beautiful retreat from our busy home in Northern Virginia. We came upon the inn through living social. We were booked in the Hearthside room, a second floor room with a beautiful fireplace, king sized bed and beautiful earth tones.
Our package included two nights, a bottle of wine, and chocolates. The wine is from the Adams County Winery, where we stopped in for a visit in addition to Gettysburg, which is only about 15 minutes away from the Inn.
The owners of the Inn are very nice and hospitable. The breakfast was very tasty, however I would have preferred a more private breakfast with my husband. Sitting at a family dining table with strangers in pajama bottoms is not exactly romantic to me. (This is the only reason I am withholding a fifth star!)
I felt like we were visiting relatives out of town who live in a big mansion who take care of us. It was that comfortable. We will be back and we will recommend this Inn to everyone we know!

We spent two nights at The Inn at Ragged Edge curtesy of a Living Social deal, and we were very pleased with our stay. The Inn is in a beautiful house which is easy to get to but removed enough from the hustle and bustle to allow for an extremely quiet, calming getaway. Lew and Fran are very sweet and show a nice balance between their hospitality towards guests and still maintaining a good distance to uphold everybody’s privacy and desire for solitude.
The rooms are quite lovely. We stayed in the Hearthside even though it was summer, and we loved the soft earthy tones and the King-​sized bed with light drapes that could be pulled down around the top. Everything about the rooms is very comfortable, homey, and yet still classy. There is also a little common room with a refrigerator, coffee maker, and sink that guests are welcome to use. The grounds are quite nice, with patio tables and chairs in the back and a little stream down the hill that is visible from many of the rooms.
The breakfasts – made mostly by Fran – are hearty but absolutely delicious. They asked right off the bat when I made reservations if we had any dietary restrictions and took them into account easily. Each element of the breakfasts was presented elegantly and made with love. It was just so nice to see someone truly putting care and soul into their work.
I would not recommend this inn for families with young children – it just doesn’t have that kind of vibe to it. We even felt out of place coming home quite late one night from a long day of exploring in Gettysburg, and we were not making any sort of ruckus. Definitely plan on making a stop here if you are looking for an evening of peace and relaxation.

This was a GREAT recommendation from locals as alternative to a not-​so-​great Four Points, not even close to a Sheraton! I stayed two weeks in a row in June and although up and out to work before b’fast, Lew and Fran made sure i had a simple b’fast of yogurt, fresh berries, and granola not to mention really good coffee with MILK! The house is lovely, roomy and elegant, but homey, and quiet! 2^nd floor rooms are great, spacious, with windows and A/​C and oversized bathrooms and tubs — a must for me! A 2^nd floor common room is delightful with kitchenette, microwave and fridge. beautiful grounds with flowers and seating areas, and fresh flowers in rooms! WHEN i come back this way, for work or play, this is where i will stay. Lew even offered to drive my colleague to MDT (Harrisburg airport) — an hour away — as there are no cabs here! His fare was so amenable! i did have to move one night because i made my 2^nd week reservation on short notice, into the Honeymoon Suite, ½ way between 2^nd and 3^rd floors — not as nice a room as others w/​o windows (skylights) but it was really quiet. i can’t wait to come back. These folks are downright hospitable, gracious and friendly. Thanks!

I learned about them through a LivingSocial deal. As part of the package we had a bottle of Adams County Winery with local choclates and a fruit & cheese platter –in addition to tickets to a museum and wine tasting. Wonderful for a quick weekend getaway, and Lew and his wife were great hosts! They were very friendly and everything was very clean. Felt like home.
