Other than being handed the wrong key while checking in and almost being locked out of the room for the evening, it was a lovely stay and the day staff were great. They really should have a back up service at night for incidentals like pipes bursting, power outages or when the ghost cat is on a tear.

We've stayed in the Tillie House for several years and it has always been a pleasure until last year. Previously therooms seemed clean but either there were NO Tvs in the room or they didn't work. I got a bunch of run around when asked about it. This year we gave them another chance. We love the Tillie house and the breakfast is always good,but it seems like the overall property and house maintenance has gone downhill. In past years, parking was assigned. There's only 4 near the house and the other two are down the back alley away from the property all together. This is a concern,especially for riders during bike week. One room leaked water and ruined ones smart watch. It was said that they knew about the leak but still keep renting the room out. Multiple complaints about clogged or nonflushing toilets. They got our rooms mixed up the first night and the Tv in that room didnt work. They claimed the cable was out but there was NO box or cable going into the small 20 some in TV and it was not a smart TV either. Again, excuses about the TV in the Tillie Pierce room. Then when we finally got into the room we reserved the next night, the TV in that room was the smallest I've ever seen. It couldn't have been any bigger than 18\" or so.. Too tiny to see much from where it would have to be watched, but I guess it was a TV and the cable actually worked in the Hettie Shriver room. This stay was not as pleasurable as in the past.It's really disappointing! For now wewill not be returning

We were looking for a quaint b&b getaway for our anniversary. This property was highly rated and the pictures of the rooms looked great. However, once we arrived and got to our room we were quite disappointed. The bedspread and sofa had stains on them and the room was quite cold throughout the night. there was the added bonus of a window air conditioner sitting on the floor of the sitting room area. The cable tv was also out and when brought to the attention of the inn keeper the following morning she said oh yeah, sorry about that. This is something that could’ve been told to us prior to us checking in. We didn’t see anybody until the morning we left.
We have been to many bed-and-breakfasts and were disappointed with the breakfast offerings. The food was not hot, and the biscuits appeared to be from Pillsberry.
With so many choices in the area, we’ll try a different one next time.

You can’t beat Tillie Pierce House for location. I love staying in a historic house and this one is completely original other than the added bathrooms. I have stayed in the Elizabeth Thorn room three times now and theTillie Pierce room once. I will warn you it is very noisy because of the traffic going by, but I always travel with my white noise machine, so it’s not a problem. Now that I’m older, I do wish they would invest in some new foam mattresses and pillows.

Breakfast was difficult to nail down. Online stated 9-11 and it was 8:30-930 at the house. Parking passes were not handed out to several guests. That was frustrating. The house itself is clean and a beautiful representation of the houses of the era. Its history from the battle of Gettysburg is immense and deep. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were a bit stiff for my liking. And the pillow fee is mind boggling. I would sincerely think about removing that cost from the billing. I don’t think people are wanting to take your pillows, or at least the pillows I was using.
Staffing becomes an issue during the day as well. Sometimes there’s no one available to help if a problem were to arise. I feel that should be remediated. The toilets take some getting used to flushing, but they do flush. Just be prepared. Overall I did enjoy the feeling and dynamic of the houses and guests. I would consider staying here again.

After a hot day at bike week in Gettysburg, we were so excited to get back to our suite at the Tillie Pierce house to cool down. Much to our dismay we walked into our room and it was very warm. We saw that the rooms could'nt be controlled individually and were so hot all night and could barely sleep. Bed was very comfy but because of the temperature, it didnt matter. Also, the house is not staffed so noone to help if there is a non emergency issue. Breakfast smelled great the next morning, but we were excited to get back to our air conditioned home. We will go back to the Farnsworth House again next time.

This place was AMAZING! Our host, Mark, was wonderful and very accommodating to our needs and requests. He was very personable, told us stories about the area, and let us in on the plans to do some period-appropriate upgrades to the house! The tillie pierce room was cozy, easily accessible, and perfect for the two of us. We were lucky and were the only guests staying at the time which was nice to come and go as we pleased - which was perfect since the main town is a quick walk away. We also walked to the Gettysburg Diorama museum and the Lincoln Train Museum, and we took a trip to the battlefield and walked around there. We will definitely be staying here again!

Wow, such a unique story (Tillie Pierce's) of not just the battle of Gettysburg but of the town and it's civilians afterward. We bought the book that she wrote (available at the B&B) and read it aloud and it gave CHILLS as we realized that the things we were reading happened RIGHT THERE. Great way to connect the civilian experience with the overall history.
