Robert and Mary Lynn Martin are delighted to introduce to you their unique restaurant and bed and breakfast. Hickory Bridge Farm is located nine miles west of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania at the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The country inn dates back to the 1700's as a working farm. Today, the Martins still farm the fields. Dinner is now served in the 150-year-old barn, and bed and breakfast lodging accommodations are featured in the farmhouse and several cottages.

The farm is beautiful during all the seasons. In the Spring, guests enjoy the apple blossoms, the antique flea markets, and trout fishing in the stream that winds through the farm. Summer brings a feeling of freshness as produce and fresh flowers are used from the gardens. Nearby activities during the summer may include golf, swimming, antiquing, touring Gettysburg, or going to the Totem Pole Playhouse. The fall foliage flames the mountains with blazing colors, and the crisp autumn air invites guests to take a lovely walk into the mountains. Many fall harvest festivals and craft fairs are celebrated in the area at this time of the year. In winter, a blanket of snow transforms the farm into a picturesque winter wonderland. A nearby ski resort, Ski Liberty, is frequently enjoyed by guests.

Hickory Bridge Farm is a wonderful place to enjoy the sites, sounds, and tastes of the country. Make plans to be spoiled by its old-fashioned hospitality.

Some of the rooms in the farmhouse feature lovely whirlpool baths. Whichever accommodations you choose, you will enjoy the utmost in privacy.

A full breakfast is featured Monday through Saturday at the farmhouse. During the summer, breakfast is served on the back porch which overlooks the creek.
