This is a beautiful property with interesting history. The room was comfortable. The innkeepers are very gracious and helpful. While not located in the heart of the historic district, it’s a short walk away. Quite honestly, it’s better than being in the heart anyway - more quiet and easier parking. There is a fantastic bar just behind the house, and Snallygasters (best restaurant in town) is next door.

The breakfast was fantastic!!! Dining room was wonderfully laid out with spacious seating for each suite. The egg, cheese, and tater tot casserole was the perfect portion coupled with the sausage links and English muffin. Fresh fruit cup, OJ, and coffee rounded out this dining experience. The chef/innkeeper, Elizabeth, regaled us with some history of the property, the area, and Civil War as it impacted the region and the property. It truly added to the charm of this inn. The room was large (the reason why was explained in the breakfast story!), the bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom was great. The remaining room appointments were matched to the period of the inn. I loved this inn and my suite!

It’s super charming…

Our stay was wonderful. The location is great. We are within walking distance (200 yards) of the Barn and a couple places to grab a bite. The building is super charming as are the rooms themselves. The only drawback is that the mattresses (Weber started in two different rooms) are pretty uncomfortable because they are hard. Other than that, we have no complaints. The rates are good and the overall experience is top notch! It is our go to place in Harper’s Ferry for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!!
