Welcome to Pheasant Field, a Carlisle PA bed & breakfast, where you will enjoy casual, country elegance in our historic brick farmhouse.
Our B&B inn is conveniently located just east of Carlisle, Pennsylvania - an easy drive to Gettysburg, Hershey, Harrisburg, Boiling Springs, Mechanicsburg, and Amish country. Our Carlisle, PA lodging features seven guest rooms - one of which is wheelchair accessible. We also offer pet friendly lodging, overnight horse boarding, and extended stay lodging in our one-bedroom apartment. You can relax by hiking on the Appalachian Trail or fly fishing in the Yellow Breeches or the LeTort Spring Run. Our B&B is a perfect site for weddings, receptions, special gatherings, retreats, and family reunions.
Carlisle is famous for collector car shows held at the Carlisle Fairgrounds during the spring, summer, and fall. Dickinson College, Messiah College, and Penn State's Dickinson School of Law are also located nearby. The US Army War College at Carlisle Barracks - also home of the Carlisle Indian School, Jim Thorpe's alma mater - is just 3 miles from our bed and breakfast.
Business travelers will be pleased to know that we offer high-speed, wireless Internet access, use of our printer, in-room desktop power sockets and early breakfast service. The comfort of the historic home, coupled with our convenient location and high-tech amenities, make Pheasant Field B&B a wonderful Harrisburg hotel lodging alternative for corporate travel.
As part of our concierge services, we provide a book containing menus from local restaurants, suggest specific restaurants based on food and style preferences, and make dinner reservations. Local itineraries with some hidden gems are available for adventurous guests that want to experience some local history and get a taste of central Pennsylvania. Local maps, with directions, are provided to tourist attractions, restaurants, and other places of interest.
We offer pick-up and drop-off service to "thru hikers" of the Appalachian Trail. These guests enjoy a room for the night, a hot shower, and a respite from their hike, while they stock up on supplies near the mid point of their journey.
Here are some great ideas for your special May Getaway weekend:
May 11 is Wine Tourism Day across the the US. South central PA has a wonderful variety of wineries. Some have wonderful expansive views over the Susquehanna River, others are along small country roads in rustic settings , while still others are housed on grand estates . That weekend happens to Mother's Day weekend so it would be a perfect time to take mom to taste some PA wines!
1863 was a year to remember in the Cumberland Valley. 150 years ago Union and Confederate troops clashed here in the area and you can learn about that prelude to Gettysburg at an exhibit at the Cumberland County Historical Society Museum. 1863 - Invasion in the Valley runs through October 26. We have reason to believe that one skirmish occurred right here at Pheasant Field B&B! Ask us about it during your next stay with us.
We celebrate our anniversary in May. Pheasant Field B&B will begin its 20th year of providing hospitality to guests from around the world! Watch for a special offer in our May newsletter. If you don't already receive our newsletters (don't worry - we send our only 3 or 4 per year!), you can sign-up here to start receive our emails.
