At The Gaslight Inn, we pride ourselves in comfort and cleanliness every day. We do recognize that the spread of the common cold, influenza and Covid-19 may cause concern. Please be assured that we and our staff take extra care to ensure that all rooms are cleaned and disinfected between every stay. All common areas are also cleaned and disinfected, and during this time of heightened concern we are taking extra precautions to ensure this is done multiple times a day. We use high temperature dish washers and launder all of our linens to ensure complete sanitation. We want ourselves, our staff and our guests to remain healthy. 

At this time there are no confirmed cases of Covid-19 in Adams County, PA. 

The Gettysburg National Military Park remains open. “Visitors can be assured that facilities and services in national parks, including lodges, restaurants, and shuttles, continue to monitor conditions and maintain high standards related to the health and wellness of staff and visitors. Park and concession staff are working to maintain clean and healthy facilities in parks in accordance with CDC guidance.”  Visit their website for up to date information at https://www.nps.gov/aboutus/news/public-health-update.htm

The CDC has provided the following guidelines, which all of us at The Gaslight Inn are adhering to:

Clean your hands often

Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds especially after you have been in a public place, or after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

If soap and water are not readily available, use a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol. Cover all surfaces of your hands and rub them together until they feel dry.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

Avoid close contact

Avoid close contact with people who are sick

Put distance between yourself and other people if COVID-19 is spreading in your community. This is especially important for people who are at higher risk of getting very sick.

Stay home if you’re sick

Cover coughs and sneezes

Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze or use the inside of your elbow.

Throw used tissues in the trash.

Immediately wash your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water are not readily available, clean your hands with a hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

Clean and disinfect

Clean AND disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, counter tops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.

If surfaces are dirty, clean them: Use detergent or soap and water prior to disinfection.

We’ve experienced our first Remembrance Weekend in Gettysburg as new BnB owners at The Gaslight Inn. We had the pleasure of hosting 17 wonderful guests from all across the US and Canada! Although the parade got re-routed and did not pass in front of the Inn as expected, the weather and turnout was fantastic. 40′s and sunny! Mike and I enjoyed serving a picnic lunch to our guests following the parade and the chili was a hit. The illumination at Gettysburg National Cemetery was breathtaking, however my phone’s camera didn’t do it justice.  This is something everyone should see in person. We really enjoyed the whole experience and look forward to many of our guests returning next year.

Save The Date!!!
