A number of activities like golfing and skiing are available in the Barker House Bed & Breakfast area. Gettysburg is nine miles away and Harrisburg is 28 miles from the guest house.
The proprietors of the bed and breakfast are the most heart warming, unpretentious, and attentive host you will meet in a B&B setting. Hospitality is second nature to them and they are full of suggestions and knowledge about things to do and places to eat.
Breakfast is delicious and the socializing that comes along with it is superb. Homemade treats, eggs with Canadian bacon, fruit, juice, coffee, and French toast with apples are some of the goodies you have to look forward to. Visitors and hosts gather at this time to have entertaining conversation and talk about their journeys and life in general. It's a real laid-back ambiance with down-home comforts
The B&B certainly has an interesting history, The hosts know all about it and tell the stories with enthusiasm. The B&B is the second oldest in the township built in 1794. It was once occupied by John B. Gordon a confederate general. You will hear good stories from the hosts about his time on the U.S.S. Nitro and other tales.
Street Is Noisy It's a noisy street with trucks and police sirens blaring through the night. The B&B is located on one of the oldest highways in the U.S. but still manages plenty of traffic.
You may find a good amount of dust on the furnishings. The furnishings are old and have that aged look but not in a shabby-chic way.
They bathroom needs upgrading. It's too small and the shower and sink are inside a petite closet with barely enough room for a toilet. The shower is in a separate closet compartment, and you may have issues with a lack of hot water.
