After reading the reviews here on TripAdvisor, we were very excited to stay in a historic inn in Harpers Ferry. We have done so in Gettysburg, Salem, and other old towns. Usually we love the quaint old places. This was NOT what we were expecting. Yes we were warned about parking but there is absolutely nowhere to even stop to... More

This review by a potential guest six months ago (Columbus Day weekend) contains comments that need to be clarified, corrected, and/or put into context: (1) The website and confirmation letter generally establish realistic expectations, so a general comment that the Inn "was NOT what we were expecting" is unclear. Even the parking situation (which is 100% beyond my control) is... More

"Welcome home." Was how we were greeted when we walked in the door and at no time did we ever feel like just a guest. This B&B is delightful in its charms and decor. We stayed in the Applachian room and it met our expectations. If you stay at The Town's Inn you will find a warm, welcoming atmosphere where... More

We were in Harpers Ferry just a week or so before the tourist season starts to heat up, so this was about the only attractive dinner spot available to us. And we did enjoy our dinner, though we were the ONLY people in the tiny dining area, so it felt even more like eating in someone's private home. A bit... More

Our family of five stayed for a night at The Town's Inn in March. We had a room with two double bunk beds. Karan, the owner, is very hospitable and accomodating. We enjoyed the ability to have a tankard of local beer and a generous glass of wine with our evening meal. Because it is one of the few places... More

Our group of undergraduate students on a service spring break trip received an incredible discount from the Town's Inn. We truly enjoyed our stay in such an historic inn with a very accommodating staff. They allowed us to check in very late at night and had such a cozy and quaint B&B. All eight of us appreciated the clean and... More

It worked just fine for 3 friends who wanted to share a room (room had 2 bunks) and just stay one night (other places had 2 night stay requirement). Beds were comfortable enough. The train comes by a lot we could hear it in the room- but I'm not a light sleeper so it wasn't really a problem for me.... More

The caption "OK but more hostel than B&B" captures a lot about the Inn but needs some clarification & context since the historic Inn (circa 1840) can't be compared to a modern structure & is neither a hostel nor a B&B. __ROOM: The room in which the reviewer & 2 companions stayed consists of half of the 3rd floor (quite...

At the Town's Inn you will be conveniently located to the historic sites in Harper's Ferry. We arrived on a dark, rainy evening and were immediately welcomed to a hot meal and a cozy room. The staff is very friendly and relaxed, and our room was comfortable and charming. The next day it was still raining, but a hearty breakfast... More

What a fun find! This was a funky old Inn located in the heart of Harpers Ferry, close to the trail. It was old and more like a hostel than a B/B with shared baths. Most rooms were bunk beds but the price was right and the hospitality was great. Free snacks and drinks and washing facilities. We ate dinner... More

Short walk from the Amtrak station. Very convenient to C & O towpath and the Appalachian Trail. The innkeeper Karan is dedicated to her customers and always takes time to make everyone feel welcome. Great place to eat breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Stayed at inn while section hiking the AT. Karen could not have been more accomodating. Ordered large "Octoberfest"-style mugs of local beers while taking showers to remove trail grime. Convenient to all historical sites in town. Very good breakfast. Trains do come by about every hour through the historic center of town, so bring ear-plugs if that bothers you. A... More
