As a surprise for my boyfriend's 25th birthday, I rented out Lockhouse 6 on the C&O canal through…read morethe business Canal Quarters. 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.

This B&B is located right in the heart of Harper's Ferry, giving walking access to stores, restaurants, and historic sights.

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.

The inside of the house is gorgeous and has a variety of comfortable common areas throughout to enjoy a meal, read a book, or chat with family and friends. There are also a handful of spots around the yard to enjoy the peace and quiet. Out back, there is an amazing open view of the Chester River. There are also a number of things to do if you decide to venture out. I highly recommend visiting Crow Farm for a wine tasting! It's one of many vineyards in the area. This was my first true vacation in years, and Cliff Point provided the calm atmosphere that I had hoped for.

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.
