“Great Location in historic lowertown.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

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.

“Very convenient”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 18, 2012

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 great place for hikers to stay if they want an option other than a hostel.

Room Tip: Stayed in Shannandoah room on top floor, which has it's own parlor area.

“Needs work”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 4, 2012

We were happy to land here, on a rainy night, while biking the C&O; there are not a lot of places in Harper's Ferry and this one is well located on High St., close to the bridge so you don't have to go up hill very far. It was fine. But it was in the midst of an adjustment and a lot of little things were amiss -- room door didn't close properly, no keys to lock up! -- would have driven some folks to distraction! Strange man in our "private" bathroom. There are only three rooms, with four bathrooms, but somehow he's shaving there while Lisa goes in to shower. Window treatments were fastened with safety pins, which made it hard to figure out how to close the drapes, doesn't matter too much since light comes in and you hear the freight trains passing the station (just across) all night; this is not a place for light sleepers. Go for it if you're hardy, but don't expect to feel pampered here, even for the same price of some of the best B&B's around.

“A family-friendly inn!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 24, 2012

As most B&B's these days equate children with cockroaches, it was gratifying to find that Karan (the owner) welcomed our 7-year-old granddaughter, who accompanied us on our vacation this summer. We had a fine stay. The two nineteenth-century houses that comprise the inn were well maintained and very much in the spirit of Harpers Ferry. The food and service were very good; Karan arranged transportation to a riding stable across the Potomac at very reasonable cost. When we go back to Harpers Ferry, we won't even consider staying anywhere else.

“Worked well for us”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 22, 2012

Three of us stayed there for one night last week on the last night of our bike trip from Pittsburgh to DC. Everything was clean and the bathroom for our room was well stocked with body wash, shampoo, etc. with lots of towels and wash cloths. The room was clean and comfortable. The food was good at the restaurant. As we were biking, they had a great selection of snack food for us to choose from in the morning. Family run - very friendly.
