This was such an amazing time!! We loved the atmosphere, ambience, and most of all the special plated meal and carrot cake by our chef, Megan. She is an amazing person! Her personal touch made our stay even more perfect! We will definitely return with friends and family this summer for a weekend trip.

Our check-in at The Light Horse Inn was easy, the directions were clear and simple. We walked in the entrance where a self serve coffee bar was all set up for us. The Inn was beautifully decorated with period pieces and was spotless. We went up to our room which was very spacious and very comfortable, with a nice large double sink and plenty of towels. Everything was spotless and in its place. A full breakfast is served by the Cheff and there is always coffe available and an ice machine with ice buckets if you bring your own wine to enjoy in your room. We enjoyed going across the parking lot to The Barn where you could get a drink and listen to music. The bartender made me a delicious cranberry mojito and the musicians were playing Irish music which made it hard to sit still. It’s absolutely lovely here and my husband and I look forward to coming back soon.

Wonderful stay at Light Horse Inn. Best bed and breakfast I have experienced. Clean, comfortable room. Inn is decorated in period pieces-perfect. Amazing breakfast! Within walking distance to Harper’s Ferry. Bonus is restaurant Snallygaster’s next door and The Barn behind the Inn for cocktails and live music! Definitely recommend. Will be staying here next time we pass through.

Wonderful Bed & Breakfast, 1 mile up the hill from the Harpers Ferry historic district. The house itself was charming, I enjoyed exploring it. I absolutely loved my room, with it's old school furnishings and a jetted tub - perfect for soaking after a long day of hiking. Megan, the Chef and manager was terrific. Her breakfasts were delicious, including the omelettes she made with tomatoes from her garden. Plenty of parking - I actually never moved the car until I checked out. I worked from the outdoor seating area a couple of mornings. Be warned it's an uphill walk from the historic district, so folks with mobility challenges will want to drive it, but I enjoyed the slow stroll upwards at the end of each day, with cookies in the kitchen left for guests as an evening treat. I would absolutely stay again.

Stayed at the Light Horse Inn for two nights. Absolutely loved it. You have to manage expectations because this isn't an ultra modern hotel with a restaurant, bar workout facilities, etc. However if you love history, antiques and the charm of a very unique stay, Light Horse Inn is for you. The room was very large and decorated with timeless antiques. They are very responsive via text for any questions, concerns. The chef, I believe her name was Megan made me a to go breakfast because I could not stay for the sit down. I would not hesitate to stay there again, it would be my only choice for Harpers Ferry.
