Come for the railfanning, stay for the history…read more I first learned about Harpers Ferry, WV while sourcing stock footage for work. I came across the same clip in a rail safety ad, which made me look up directions to Harpers Ferry from DC. The historic park/town is served by the very MARC trains that pass outside my DC window each afternoon. You can describe Harpers Ferry as *deceptively* close because it's a 90 minute train ride, with planes flying into Dulles close enough to make out the airline. Looking for hotels there, Stonehouse Bed & Breakfast was the first that came up, with great reviews. Chris was very helpful and responsive via text and email. I booked the Top Room, which was $170 for a night including taxes. The quaint B&B has three accessible floors, as the family naturally lives onsite. The first floor is the main entrance with the common/dining areas, and the patio overlooking Maryland Heights and the Potomac/Shenandoah Rivers. The second floor has more rooms, one with a full balcony. And the third floor is the Top Room, with windows overlooking each side of the vintage building. If you Google pictures of Harpers Ferry, Stonehouse is in nearly all of the shots, since the balconies are front and center of the skyline. The town itself is like a real life snow globe. But the B&B, the litany of museums, eateries and shoppes around it, as well as the train station directly across the street make it an overall ideal place to stay, be it for hiking, or for something else: A love of trains is what brought me to Stonehouse, so take note that rail traffic can be heavy in certain times of the day. But the light rumbles also helped put me to sleep in the already soft, cozy bed. A container of water was provided, and while glasses should have been cleaned of dust first, it was still a really nice touch. The room also had playing cards, ear plugs, plenty books and a whole lounge chair. Checkin was a simple set of instructions at the door with my name on it, with checkout simply being your absence at the appropriate time. In my case, I only booked an overnight stay, getting in at 8pm and leaving around 6:30am, with checkout/checkin being the traditional 11am/4pm. While I didn't stay for complementary breakfast, I did catch a stellar sunrise between the mountains, as well as nature footage from the neighboring park. All of that to say, I definitely look to return to Stonehouse B&B later this year.

We were married here on 10/22 and the entire experience was beautiful and stress free. The whole planning process was so easy and Anthony and Natallia go above and beyond to curate and elevate your event while making it your own. I had my full trust in their design expertise and gave them so much control and I'm so happy I did because it was absolutely beautiful (trust the experts!). My florals were more beautiful than I could've even imagined. The whole experience is a family affair. There's no stuffiness or cookie cutter event experience you are interacting with some of the most genuine and kind people that keep that wariness while also being the utmost professionals. Even while we were getting ready we felt we were absolutely taken care of by the staff (Ava in particular was extremely attentive and kind) And the food is just incredible! From our tasting, to our breakfast, no one goes hungry here. They are extremely accommodating to dietary restrictions and allergies and every single thing I tried was *chef's kiss.* The BnB rooms are clean and cozy and well-decorated. They come stocked with snacks and most essentials you may need and one of my bridesmaids now wants to know the mattress brand because her bed was so comfortable. We cannot wait to get our professional photos back and we are so happy that we have new friends in Natallia and Anthony!

Manisha and Prashsant, owners of Stone Manor Inn, were personally involved in making sure all went smoothly with our cocktail and dinner party, and it most certainly did! SMI is a lovely old country inn on 14 acres, I believe, with a number of different venues (indoors and out) for meetings, parties, and weddings. The rooms (7 in total) were eclectic, in a good way. All four of their largest rooms that we occupied were spacious, with king beds and spa tubs with separate showers. All were well maintained and clean upon check-in. We had no complaints. I'm not sure when we will return to the area, but when we do, we will not hesitate to return!

I was on the fence to book this place given its hefty price tag, and glad I went for it and completely agree with the glowing 5 star reviews. The bubbly host Manisha is very warm and welcoming. She cordially gave us a 20 min tour around the property, which was built in 1908, and even gave me a bonus tour of the other rooms afterwards. She kindly answered all of our questions and didn't rush us. The Peacecock Room is the most spacious and best room (aside from the bridal suite), elaborately decorated in peacocks. We loved it! The little touches like the handmade soap, a set of wine glasses, and a wine opener made the stay so memorable and special. While the rooms aren't temperature controlled, the electric flameless fireplace kept the room warm. The double capacity jacuzzi was perfect for my hubby and I and even had lights (some of the other rooms have smaller jacuzzi, so be sure to check). The rooms were clean minus a couple of lady bugs and stink bugs (which is too be expected out in the country). Dr. Fauci's assistant stayed here and Manisha informed us of the extensive sanitation process, even the pillows and decorations are quarantined for 6 days! The backyard is well groomed and really spacious with a nice patio and heat lamp, which kept us warm sitting outside in the frigid winter. Our dog loved running around! You can see the stars and constellations really well. It would make a great wedding venue! The Christmas decorations around the property are really nice. The owners really go the extra mile and put a lot of TLC into the property. The 6 course breakfast is delicious and bursting with flavor. Between the veggie quiche, cheesy potatoes, scone, pancakes, yogurt, and fresh OJ, I was stuffed! The fresh butterscotch scone was divine and devoured my mine and my hubby's! The cheesy potato had a nice spicy kick. Everything was so fresh and delicious. All the courses come out at once on a large tray. While my hubby and I chose to sit at the communal table (the chairs are roughly 6 feet apart), you can take the tray up to your room. Manisha and her family greeted us and thoroughly explained the dishes and chatted with us for a bit, even her son made an appearance! The bed and breakfast has a nice bar with wine, cider, and alcohol based on an honor code system. Water and soda is complementary, they even had Coke 0! The complementary fudgy brownies by the breakfast area during the day were sweet and tasty. Again the little complimentary stuff gives this bed and breakfast a nice resort feel. Very relaxing stay and looking forward to coming back!

They were also very accommodating to our vegetarian diet. While they said at the end of the service that the waiters would come around and we could get a refill of any of the three teas, no one ever came to us, but we'd also had plenty of tea to drink earlier, so not much of an issue.

Rockhaven B&B and Harpers Ferry: The Perfect Pairing…read more What can I say about Harpers Ferry, WV, that hasn't already been said? I suppose many have written about the physical beauty of the town, but there's also beauty in the knowledge that small town America still exists. Honest, friendly, community minded people are the real beauty of Harpers Ferry. If you are like me, from out of the area, I encourage you to walk through town at least twice a day. I found the many deer that call HF home beautiful, and the fireflies (dusk) magical. The rivers give a certain comfort in knowing that the town will go on forever. I hope that I never grow tired of these things. Lynn and Christian, the Rockhaven Hosts, welcomed me into their home shortly after the covid restrictions were lifted. I was reassured by their words and actions that every precaution known to science was being observed. Both Hosts were gracious and attentive, and the room met all my needs (and then some!). Terrific gardens, quiet neighborhood, historic main building all spell class and charm. There is not a single thing I would change. As I prepare for my return home, I feel like I'm saying goodbye to family. I would definitely stay here again, and would highly recommend Rockhaven B&B to anyone looking for lodging in historic Harpers Ferry, WV.

They refurbished the old lockhouses which were once occupied by lock keepers who worked 24 hours around the clock to open the locks for boats and small barges. Three lockhouses are available to rent, lockhouse 6 is the only one with running water , electricity and heat (a necessity for MD winters). Bring food to cook, blankets, and linens- the rest is there for you to enjoy. It was a wonderful experience. The house was immaculate, cozy and clean. It sleeps 8, with two bedrooms upstairs (two twin beds in each) and a comfy pull out sofa in the living room on the middle level. The bathroom (equipped with full shower/tub) was in the basement- the stone walls provided little insulation and became uncomfortably cold during trips down there and before and after showers. The Lockhouse provided all the amenities of home including coffee makers, pots, pans, dishes, cleaning supplies, refrigerator, stove, oven, etc. Maps, books, and photographs from the era decorated the house and the beautiful winter scenery of the Potomac River provided landscape. The Lockhouses can be rented as pit stops for bikers and hikers making their way down the C&O canal from Pittsburg. They can be rented for romantic getaways or surprise birthdays and bachelorette parties. Lockhouse 6 is only a stones throw from Georgetown on Clara Barton Parkway, so it's close to the city for a night (or two) out.
