This place is a must stay, clean and great view. Close to restaurants and ice cream shop. Self serve breakfast was a great experience too. Loved my stay read more

Good location, great people, cute building, but filthy room with dirty socks on the floor and the closet stuffed with clothes. Ceiling downstairs dripped water from presumably an upstairs bathroom. Everything is cluttered with junk and dusty. So much potential but I don't think they care because they'll always get bookings because of the location. read more

Note that the private bathrooms are not attached to the rooms, and the kitchen currently has a DIY system where you can buy ingredients and cook your own food. This place was so cute, we checked in late with no issues, it was clean, and very conveniently situated near the parking area, shops, and trailheads for Harper's Ferry! Would especially recommend if you're looking to hike nearby. read more

This was our first time visiting Harpers Ferry and we wanted a cute place to stay overnight. The Town's Inn was perfect for this. I am not giving this place 5 stars to say it is as fancy as the Four Seasons, but I am recognizing it for what it offers if you want a historic and more rustic experience. If you are expecting the look and feel of a modern hotel, you won't enjoy this environment (there are no TVs in the rooms and some rooms have a shared bathroom). If hearing a rooster at 4 am or loud trains going by every few hours bothers you, you won't like this place. If you are shocked by the fact that a southern conservative state has biblical and republican leaning books in hotels like these, well, you knew you weren't visiting New York. Again, we wanted a more genuine, old school, and country experience so we expected to find these things. The email instructions they give you are great for people new to visiting. The area does get crowded on weekends. Follow the advice in the booking email and you'll do fine. The hospitality was top notch and we enjoyed the free coffee, tea, and water. We stayed in the Mountain View room and found it to be clean and exactly what we pictured for a place like this. The private bathroom is on the lower level down a tricky staircase, but this didn't bother us. I see some reviews being harsh on aspects of this Civil War era hotel that it really can't control. It's "old af" as younger people would say and that's why you choose to stay here. Branch out and give this place a try! And ignore Hotel Hell...if anything it made us want to stay here even more! read more

A beautiful and unique hotel. It's a nearly 200 year old, historically preserved building. The location is absolutely perfect in central Harper's Ferry and prices are more than fair for where it is. Parking (and presumably things like wheelchair accessibility) are a challenge; but understand that the building and town were built over two centuries ago. If you want a covered garage, a heated spa, etc. then don't book nights at 200 year old hotels in a colonial era town. It's a wonderful experience if you just take in the history and realize the history of the building you're staying in. Don't stay in 200 year old buildings and expect to walk into the Hilton. The room was clean, no bugs, and beds were perfectly comfortable after a long day of hiking. The shop is well stocked with essentials. Again this is very helpful due to the parking situation in the town (not the hotel's fault). The owner is as nice as can be and chatted with me for a good while. When I went to leave this review, I found many people talking about a Gordon Ramsay show that stopped here (I had no idea during my stay). I watched the episode afterwards and could tell immediately that it was simply television producers taking advantage of a small town, historical hotel owner. Looking back after my stay on the owner, staff, and overall stay, the episode seemed extremely exaggerated and like producers pulling out all the stops for "good" tv. I'm sure they made the staff sign NDA's so nobody is allowed to reveal the behind the scenes, but I truly had a wonderful stay and wonder why Gordon Ramsay had such negative things to say about many things that are to be expected while staying at a small, historical building. (It was obviously for "the television"). Who stays at a historic building in a colonial town and expects a gourmet, full course meal? If you'd like a great restaurant style meal then there are wonderful restaurants literally 50 feet across the street from the hotel door. Walk a few yards and have yourself a meal in a restaurant if that's what your heart desires! Again the owner was as nice as can be and my guests and I had a wonderful time during our stay in Harper's Ferry. I feel bad that this small inn , with hard working staff who've gone out of their way to preserve the historic building while providing great customer service, were apparently bad mouthed for reality television many years ago. I am in no way connected to this hotel or the staff (besides being a recent guest). Check my many other reviews in the DMV area where I'm from if you don't believe me. I had a wonderful time and wanted to leave this good review. It's a shame that many still seem to judge based on fake television shows. read more

A thoroughly delightful and quirky inn. It is more like a bohemian hostel with rooms that have both private and shared bathrooms available, common areas like the Marketplace Country Store, Café (where you prepare your own meals with food from their richly stocked panty; bonus feature - you leave your dirty dishes to them to clean), porches, patios, and balconies. There are amenities galore, shelves of clean towels, and even bathrobes in some of the rooms. It is perfectly located in the original historic district near shops and restaurants. Super friendly innkeepers and staff. We were riding the C&O Canal trail and really enjoyed our stay there. read more

Second time staying here, such a fun place to stay and enjoy Harper's Ferry!! The staff is so nice and genuine and make you feel at home. Will definitely stay again. read more

This morning I missed the MARC train for an appointment, and after watching Ramsay's show about the Town's Inn, I decided to check it out for myself. I needed a place to work as well, as I do work remotely, and Miss Karan was the most gracious and sweetest person. The place is quaint, and the little store she has carries everything but the kitchen sink. And, I actually got to chat with Miss Karan and got to know her a little bit - this was a blessing in disguise. The coffee there was delicious, and a bargain at $3 for a bottomless cup. They even lent me a phone charging cord when I forgot mine. Overall, I believe Ramsay was a bit harsh on her, and before anyone judges the Town's Inn, please go check it out for yourself, as you will be pleasantly surprised. read more

Stayed here while visiting nearby Martinsburg. What a great choice. First impressions were the impressive backdrop of the river confluence and rocky top shores. Next came the historic feel. Everywhere. So much nearby to drink in ; and we got a workout on the hills and stairs. The inn itself is 2 houses cozied up side by side. And full of its own history, antiques, photos and the knowledgeable innkeepers can share more facts and recommend local sites. The market place concept was unique and practical. The range of accommodations varies from hiker one-nighters to a posh couples suite. The friendly feel made for a community feeling that made it an experience, not just a destination. I recommend it. Highly! read more

Amazing central location in the heart of one of the most charming towns in America. Within 4 minutes walk of everything in town. Charming, unique and Clean! Three hundred plus year old homes connected by stone pathways, gardens, and internal spiral staircases. Every room with it's own unique charm. Gwenda was our hotel manager/hostess for the weekend, which included 6 couples. She was very attentive to every need and request. We will absolutely be back! read more

A rare experience of encountering American history and hospitality. An extremely kind and generous staff tended to any of our inquiries and needs with so much authentic joy and hospitality. There is a well stocked store for those biking in on the C&O bike path. Glenda and Gail were outstanding hosts and a joy to talk to. We stayed in the mountain room which was clean, cool and comfortable. It was great not having a TV! This stay was in a perfect location to anything and everything that anyone would want to do in Harpers Ferry. As my husband stated in references to the towns Inn, "Kindness is love and this place is kind". I will be back to stay in the 5 person suite with my biking gals next year! The Rabbit Hole restaurant across the street (recommended by our hosts) has the best beer selection I have ever seen on a menu and the food was fabulous! read more

This is by far one of the BEST Inn's or Hostel style places I have ever been to. Dr. Karen and her staff were wonderful. The serve yourself cafe was fantastic and helped us to really feel at home in this beautiful historic building. The variety of amenities was perfect for a quick overnight before heading out on our Appalachian Trail adventure. I will absolutely be back to stay again and hope Karen continues to enjoy the exquisite beauty and antique experience she provides to her guests. THANK You for an AMAZING start to our adventure! read more

My husband and I spent the night there in the Mountain View room. They were very friendly. I left my car in the parking lot at the visitor center after the last shuttle had gone. But two lovely ladies who work there drove me there (way past where they needed to go to get to their houses). So I also recommend that you park at the fire station at Harpers Ferry instead of at the visitor center! They have a self-serve eating area, which made the place feel much more homey. There are private and shared bathrooms--depending on the package you get. And they have modest robes so you can go down the hall to the bathroom. The quilt in the bedroom was pretty, and the rocking chair comfortable. People who bike the C&O canal trail and the Appalachian trail come there, and they have a lot of amenities to serve them. There are a lot of steps, so if you have trouble with steps, this is not the place for you. But if you'd like a quirky, friendly lodge in the middle of historic Harper's Ferry, I highly recommend it! read more

1000/10. I can't even begin to say how much we loved our stay here. All of the women working at the inn were so sweet and helpful. The charm is unmatched! It's a premium location and was perfect for our night in Harper ferry. The room we had was the "Friendship suite" and it was absolutely adorable. The cool tiled floors with the rock work and wood stove were so cozy. The room is decorated in the sweet old signs you often see in older homes with quotes about friendship and loving one another. The queen sized bed was comfy (and I'm 8 months pregnant). The daybed was comfy as well but I did not sleep on it so take that into consideration. The space could easily accommodate a family of 4 with younger kiddos. The bathroom is reminiscent of a bathroom you find in a nice campground. It's small and does it's job. They supplied loads of towels Ans wash clothes and there was soap in the shower to use. Outside the room is a beautiful outdoor seating area and the inn has something like a farm stand set up right outside. We brought our Aussie with us and he enjoyed the room and town. They had water bowls for us to use for him as well which was perfect. I'd say the trickiest part was parking but we were lucky since we have an annual national park pass every year we just parked in the park-parking lot lol. Also something to be aware of is there are stairs EVERYWHERE in this town lol. Be prepared to use them to get from place to place! We plan on coming back after our baby is born for a family vacation and we hope to stay here! read more

This was such a lovely place. Spent one night here and wish I could have stayed longer. After reading other reviews, the first thing I did was call the Inn to feel out the bathroom situation. I ended up choosing the Appalachian room which has a full bathroom in the room. The room was perfect; complete with a "fireplace". The Inn is fairly close to a busy railroad track so there are loud trains that go by consistently but I loved it. I spent my night sitting in front of the fireplace and eating dessert while listening to the trains roll by. It really was so nice. You do have to park in a nearby parking lot and walk uphill to the inn. Then maneuver over uneven stone steps and walkways. So not ideal for someone with mobility issues. But the Inn does have a cafe so you don't have to go far for food and drink. Reasonably priced as well. 10/10 recommend!. read more

At breakfast before what was planned to be a 15-mile day my brother and I came to share the small dining room at the Town's with one fuzzy chatty fellow who was in for a zero dark thirty breakfast after finishing the 45-mile Maryland challenge which as it might sound to the accustomed is a 45 mile hike. To be done in 24 hours. Said furry loquacious gentleman did it in I think 20, walking all night from the PA-MD border (the Mason-Dixon line). Needless to say, Adam and I modified our walk from a 15 to a 23 miler. And even with the change I was feeling a bit chumpish. We stayed the evening in Harpers Ferry on this the eve of our last day walking the 2012 AT section. I smile sadly reading the other reviews for places about town, descriptions describing HF as a "tourist trap." Give them no heed. King Frog is a tourist trap. Visit Rock City is one too. HF is a tourist trap only for the simple (not hatin) For the rest, the town is absolutely perfect, history perched over the confluence of the Shenandoah and the Potomac, freight trains freight trains John Brown Civil War American carefully presented, some shoppes in the preserved Old Town for the convenience of explorers, one inn in the old town The Town's Inn. For those who know Northern California, the Town's inn is like the Delta King in Old Town Sacramento. It isn't for everybody. You want turn down service and right angles and everything predictable even if tapioca? Don't stay here. You want something interesting and special and maybe don't mind that your room won't always come with a bathroom and some may have to duck a little to get inside and the floor creaks and haunted looks like a first, last and middle name? Then go no further. I had an excellent sleep. The proprietresses and helpers were lovely. Breakfast filled me and I like being able to go back to the kitchen to fetch my own refills if I feel like stretching my legs. They've stocked the shelves in the dining room with staples researched at the AT Conservancy, so hikers looking for an easy resupply need only stray from the trail some 100 yards or so. Thoughtful is an art not lost here. We put our final itinerary together such that we finished here. This allows us to begin again in HF in 2013. While I hope the days in between pass slowly and fill with fabulous adventures of their own, I can't help but simultaneously look forward to the spring, when I'll tuck again into the upper bunk listening for the first freight rumbling over the pennies on the near track a hundred feet below. read more

WARNING: MONEY HUNGRY - Would not refund despite cancelling within hours of booking. I accidentally booked for the wrong dates and they basically told me to piss off. Claimed Agoda (booking agency) was responsible for it. Agoda told me it was up to them to approve. Got an email that it was denied. read more

Their cancellation policy was very frustrating. Even with six months notice I was charged 50%. I had tried first to call them several times over a two day period to work something out, and no one would answer and there was no voice mail. Expedia tried to reach out as well on my behalf and they couldn't get through to anyone either. Also- be aware that a lot of the rooms don't have private bathrooms or bathrooms on the same floor as the rooms. Like someone else said, their frustrating policies do not reflect the norm for what you get. read more

Very cool old building. Owner was wonderful. Keep in mind this is not a full service hotel or inn. We had a small room, bathroom was downstairs. What this lacks in amenities it more then makes up for in charm, coziness and it right is the heart of Harpers Ferry. Would stay there again and highly recommend! read more

We rent the whole place for a friend's birthday, for us, decoration was lovely and warm. The owner was very friendly and kind. We didn't had the chance to go to the restaurant downstairs, but we'll definitely come back. Everyone was very friendly and we had the best of experiences. See attachments!! read more

From first glance this looked like a cute place to stop for a quick bite to eat. The prices weren't that bad and the young hostess was friendly. However things changed quick once we were seated by a older waitress (whom I believe was also the owner). She was frazzled and pushy when she was taking our order. I went with the vegetable curry over rice and my boyfriend ordered bacon cheese fries for our appetizer and the fish and chips. After a very long wait she handed me my plate that contained little more than a cup of nightmare spread out over a large plate. To start with the vegetables were oily and under cooked and there was no curry...It basically was a plate of oily veggie shavings over rice?!?! Our appetizer of bacon cheese fries was presented and... they were soggy old green potatoes with under cooked bacon. To top that off she got his order completely wrong and apologized that the pulled pork was taking so long to cook. We stopped her and explained it was the fish and chips he had ordered. She seemed confused but quickly went back to fix this stating it would be a longer wait now. After discovering a black hair in my "curry" and being unable to eat the "fries" and not looking forward to what laid a head if we stayed we decided to faked an emergency and canceled his order all together. The waitress was upset but was intelligent enough not to charge us. I would not recommend this place at all if you want to eat...anything. read more

My boyfriend and I took a trip to Harpers Ferry this past weekend and had originally booked one night here. We LOVED this cute little inn so much we decided to stay the whole weekend. Karan was so accomodating and wonderful to us and the rooms were so cozy. It's right in the heart of the town and the views are amazing. We will definitely be making this an annual holiday trip and can't wait to go back! read more

No, no, no - this place is as bad as the bad reviews. The room we stayed in was uncomfortable and the decor was...depressing. The hotel overall is cluttered...and some of this clutter is pro-Trump books. Not super welcoming. The cafe has expired food on the shelves. A terrible place I would not wish on an enemy. read more

I booked this through hotels. com. I specifically requested a room that was pet friendly (which it states on their site). After booking the room, I am told by the manager that I cannot bring my service dog (I am deaf and he is my hearing dog) even though he is completely certified. I am told by her NO DOGS. I ask for a refund and she denies this, saying that she cannot refund it. Now, on top of this, I recently injured my foot and have trouble walking. (Again, I have medical documentation) The room is on the 3rd floor (which I could have handled) but the bathroom is on the second floor (which means several trips up and down stairs if need be). I also explained this to the manager, who said "Too bad, No refunds". It was not mentioned ANYWHERE that the bathroom was on a different floor. Obviously, had I known that they had bathrooms on SEPARATE FLOORS and that they would not accept SERVICE DOGS, I would never have booked here. This place is extremely unreasonable and I will file a complaint about it not following ADA policies read more

After in injury, I had to cancel a series of reservations when I was unable to complete a biking trip along the C&O canal. All cheerfully returned my money except The Town's Inn. Doesn't match the standards of other options. read more

Karan, the owner, is the epitome of hospitality. She makes you feel like you're visiting grandma's house. You can have a delicious, home-cooked meal at a reasonable price anytime from 6am to 10pm. The sundry doubles as a late night diner with great service. Best of all, in warm weather you can dine outside with a terrific view. The corner table may have the best view in town. The Friendship Room is warm, spacious, and cozy all at the same time. The rustic decor is perfect for a trip back in time to historic Harpers Ferry. (But the free wi-fi keeps you connected to modernity.) The Town's Inn is charming with great food and even better service. I absolutely loved it and I definitely recommend it. read more

Great stay in Harpers Ferry. We enjoyed our time at the Inn and was a perfect stop for our AT hike.

If you go into this place like it's 2022... you may feel disappointed.. but if you're wrapped up into the authenticity of the times and the area .. I think you might get it .. we went in there in 2022 mode ... miserable but culpable..but we're Comin back .. sounds weird but true... plus they're not racist or political as another suggested read more

We recently spent two days/nights at the Town's Inn 1st floor Friendship rm. Admittedly it is not the Marriott. The Inn is 200 yrs old as are most of the buildings and Inns there. The room was small, bathroom very snug and bed a little too un-firm. However the owners are lovely and try their utmost to make your stay enjoyable. I would choose an upper floor room on a return trip. There is a terrific coffee and breakfast place a few steps across the street. Harper's Ferry is an old pre-revolutionary town with rich history at the mid-way point of the Appalachian Trail. Everyone dresses super casual to walk the town and trails. The few restaurants served decent enough food. Because of Covid-19 the trail parking lots are closed leaving just the train station lot for parking which fills up fast. read more

Towns Inn is a historic, charming Inn located directly in town of Harper's Ferry. If your looking for "modern" this is not it. If your looking for a kind owner, wonderful service in a historic building you will definitely enjoy Towns Inn. No parking at the hotel but it's really not a big deal you just park across the street at the train station. This is a GREAT weekend trip. Lots of hiking, biking and tubing on the river was so relaxing. Thank you Karen for a wonderful visit you made us feel very welcome. Kim and Ed. read more

The hotel is a historic stone building. This means stairs and a shared bathroom. But it also means that you get the feel of Harper's Ferry! What makes this place really stand out is the great staff and sense that they are in business to serve travelers. Every touch - from the kitchen to the courtyards is excellent. A must stay!! read more

I stayed at this hotel in the autumn, and I couldn't have been happier. The building is in downtown Harper's Ferry, and it is, as everyone points out, nearly two centuries old. Travelers should know what they're getting, of course: the bathroom isn't necessarily on the same floor as the bedroom, and you won't be able to sit back on the bed and watch a TV. In fact, my room was a small room with bunk beds. My point here is not to complain, though. I thought that the charm of the property more than made up for--in fact was part and parcel of--its inconveniences. My room looked out over the old town below--the inn is on a steep hill--so I was able to read while periodically enjoying a spectacular view. The owner was a delightful character. The property also has a kind of country store--carefully curated--available 24/7 in the building, which matters a lot, since the old downtown doesn't have a grocery store and doesn't have cafes or restaurants available at all hours. A great value, too, by the way. read more

A very unique location and one of the few in the center of harpers ferry. Unfortunately the room had not been cleaned in weeks with thick dust and cobwebs in the room. They did clean it when this was pointed out but it should have been clean prior to our arrival. Also the friendship room is on the street. The bed was saggy. If you don't care about theses things the owner and staff are friendly and helpful. read more

My husband and I stayed at the Town's Inn last weekend, coincidentally just a few days after it was featured on "Hotel Hell." We had no idea; we just checked the website and thought it looked cute. We would never have known unless Sarah (who showed us to our room) bragged about it. It was really strange; she told us about it almost as soon as we got there. I'd never heard of the show, and she sounded quite proud to be featured on there, so I made an impressed noise. Then I thought, "Wait... 'Hotel Hell.' That sounds bad." But if it was bad, then why would she brag about it? Maybe it was one of those trendy ironic usages. She told us we were staying in the same room Gordon Ramsay had stayed in, and went on to complain that he had torn down a mural she'd done on one of the walls, and taken out the steel wool she'd put into it, which (she insisted) if you have a mouse problem is a reasonable thing to put in a wall. I smiled and nodded and thought, "Did she just admit to having a mouse problem?" But it seemed like a cute, nice little room in a quaint inn. Everything was quaint and adorable, right down to Sarah's scandalized reaction to Ramsay "taking the Lord's name in vain." And she emphasized again and again how much had changed since November. She showed us to our private bathroom. One of the restaurant patrons was already using it. You'd think they'd keep that locked by default. But the lock on that bathroom door is really hard to open. You have to kind of jam the key in and wiggle it around. It is rather annoying to have to walk all the way down the hall to get to your bathroom, but at least you don't have to share it with anyone else. It's a teensy little bathroom with a teensy little shower that you can barely turn around in. Directly across from it is a laundry area, which would undoubtedly have come in handy if we'd stayed more than two nights. There was a huge issue with parking. Seriously, if you've never been to Harper's Ferry, I have to warn you - parking is an absolute NIGHTMARE. The Town's Inn supposedly has two spaces set aside that you can reserve for $10 a day, but every time we tried to park there, both spaces were already taken. I'm not sure if the Inn overbooks the parking spaces or if non-guests grab them illegally. Either way, there's almost no place to park. Sarah was kind enough to give us her parking spot, way up High Street. Getting there and back required walking up and down a pretty steep hill, which is good exercise but a pain in the butt. Given the historic nature of Harper's Ferry, though, parking is probably bad for every inn and B&B here. It just wasn't built to accommodate cars. Anyway, as soon as we got the parking figured out, we rushed downstairs to Bistro 1840 because we were utterly starving after our long drive. The menu was small and gave us sticker shock. We ordered two of the cheapest items on the menu: the burger and the mac 'n cheese. The mac 'n cheese was good - very creamy and seasoned with what I'm pretty sure was rosemary, thyme, and cracked pepper - and there was a lot of it. The food in general was good and plentiful, but overpriced. Also, the mac 'n cheese gave me diarrhea. After dinner, we went up to our room and promptly used the free WiFi to watch both Town's Inn episodes of "Hotel Hell" on YouTube. How could we not?? Let me tell you, it's a real trip to watch Ramsay tear apart the very room you're sitting in. ("Look at this wall!" Gordon Ramsay shouted. We dutifully turned around and looked at the wall.) This is how we found out that Sarah's mural was painted on a bunch of business cards that she'd stuck to the wall to hide the fact that it was rotting. We watched him yell about the mac 'n cheese (unseasoned, refrigerated, microwaved) and burgers (baked the day before, then boiled in water), and exchanged looks. "It definitely wasn't THAT bad," my husband said. We got kind of nervous when we saw him swabbing the floors and showing how utterly filthy the place was. I was mostly amused by the whole thing, feeling confident that they'd fixed all those problems. It certainly wasn't as cluttered or dusty as it had been. However, walking down the hall to the bathroom, I noticed the undersides of my feet had become quite dirty. How often do they clean the floors, exactly? It's not like the place is totally filthy, but it's kind of run-down. It feels like staying in someone's house. They don't clean it to hotel standards. I saw a mat on the floor of the shower which looked frighteningly like a mat that I'd watched Ramsay swab. They keep large bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower, which is eco-friendly but only reinforces the whole "staying in someone's house" feel. So in case you're wondering how much Town's Inn has improved since the big overhaul, the answer is: a lot, but probably not enough. It's not horrible, but not worth $135 a night. I wouldn't stay there again. But I'm glad I stayed once, if only for the story. read more

I will start off by saying that I love the town of Harper's Ferry and it's hard to give a bad review of anything in this area, despite the fact that it's also hard to give a good review of anything in this area. Confused? Yeah, we kinda were too. Given the beauty and history of the area and the amazing hikes we have taken, the food in this town is subpar. We stopped at The Town's Inn for breakfast before our hike, so this is just a review of the food, not the hotel itself. It was the server's 3rd day at work and it was almost comedic. She was a sweetheart but was pretty clueless. When most of your tables are getting up to get their own silverware and helping a server out, you know she is doomed. She was very nice, so it was hard to be upset - but I had a $3 dollar plate of home fries that the serving size was so small, it wasn't even worth a dollar. The server also forgot our butter, the honey for the oatmeal, our waters (twice) and it took a while to get the check. I will say, I did have some of the best rye bread I have had in a while (needed the carbs for the hike!) Either way, we love this little town, but it is definitely not a foodie friendly town. If you really desire good, organic, fresh food and you have the time, head over to Shepherdstown. But do not let any review deter you from spending some time in Harpers Ferry, especially if you enjoy hiking and history. read more

This is the first restaurant in a decade I've ordered food in and walked out of without tasting it. It was really that bad. First, the good. It's a beautiful location with a solid indoors and a great front patio with a nice view. I would definitely return for drinks as the servers were all very attentive and nice. They also carry a semi-local cream soda that's pretty good. Now for the bad, the food. My companion's curry veggie dish had no curry, had undercooked vegetables, etc. For someone who I joke would eat just about anything, the fact that she stopped eating three bites in is a pretty damning condemnation. When my food arrived we learned that instead of the fish I wanted I'd been ordered pork. I actually put this 50/50 on the server and her, as she did make a joke about the pork while I was ordering. My fries had undercooked bacon and were green inside. Yes, green inside. We faked an emergency, offered to pay and left. To their benefit I think they realized that our experience was non ideal to say the least and it likely fell below their normal standards. I will give them that benefit of the doubt. So drinks, yes. Food, take your chances. I was sadly not impressed which is unfortunate because it's really a beautiful place and the service was really excellent. If you do eat stick to dishes other Yelpers have mentioned. read more

Ugh! If you want a simple lunch of stew and biscuits to take an hour, stop here. The food and service are good, but you'll be here a very long time. I'd suggest eating BEFORE coming to Harpers Ferry. This place could really use a Subway as the food choices here are abysmal. read more

Review is for restaurant only. Dad, a friend and I went in for a quick lunch before driving back to DC. At around 12:30 p.m. on a Saturday they seemed to be out of everything from veggie soup to provolone cheese to chicken salad. The soup we did get was extremely salty and came with no spoons (?) which we had to ask for. We ended up all ordering the same sandwich to make things simpler for the extremely frazzled waiter (it was only us and one other table seated for lunch?) If you're in a hurry like we were (trying to get back to Washington to catch a flight) this probably isn't the place for you. It is pretty slow and had to change our order several times because they were out of everything. Also, when I asked for mustard, the Guilder's had what appeared to be a dead poinsettia leaf dried and crusted to the top of the container? Ew. Sadface. read more
