My husband and I needed a quick get away for Labor Day weekend, and called the Inn two nights before our intended stay. We were a little concerned about a place that had vacancy before such a big holiday, but were very pleased to find a lovely pair of hosts waiting for us when we arrived. Very clean and quiet...little... more

This was the first time my partner and I had ever stayed in a B&B, and it was a great experience. We tend to be very laid-back but relatively private people, and the innkeepers were quite personable and friendly but very respectful of our quiet personalities. They're such a nice couple and they maintain a beautiful house! The room was... more

My husband, my ten-year-old son and I stayed at Shining Dawn Bed & Breakfast over the Fourth of July Holiday weekend in 2009. We stayed Friday, July 3rd and Saturday, July 4th. We originally wanted to stay in Gettysburg, as we were traveling there for the Gettysburg Reenactments that were taking place that weekend. But we were traveling on short... more

We were very, very pleased with the quality of service we received at Shining Dawn...the innkeepers are extremely friendly, accommodating, and very knowledgable about the historical significance of the Hanover/Gettysburg area in which their establishment is ensconced.

The Shining Dawn B&B is in a lovingly restored brick and brownstone mansion. Our room was immaculately clean and wonderful architectural details abound throughout the house. Bruce and Helen are warm and welcoming people who made us feel right at home. more

My husband and I just got back from a weekend with Helen and Bruce at the Shining Dawn. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay! From the very start, it's a great experience. The window for check in is extremely broad, and it's late enough in the day where you don't feel rushed trying to find it... more

Came to Shining Dawn B&B with some friends from college and loved every minute of my trip. The house and the room where we stayed were beautiful and the innkeepers were friendly and helpful. I especially liked the stain-glass windows. I stayed in the Mid-summer night's dream room and it was beautiful at night. We took a day trip to... more

We stayed at Shining Dawn for a couple of days. We had a wonderful, and relaxing time in this beautiful turn of the century home in the midst of an historic neighborhood. Our hosts, Helen and Bruce, made a fantastic breakfast and were gracious and welcoming. Their peaceful calm demeanor, and comfortable conversation made us feel more than welcome guests.... more
