I was just stopping by to check it out for future lodging, but found them to be quite dismissive. Onward! I drove up to the Overlook - Almost Heaven. Beautiful. It was a beautiful breezy day with perfect temperatures.....I could have stayed up there for hours. Amazing vista and solitude. I definitely am interested in the cabins around the state park. That's a future bucket list item.

Restaurant The hotel…read moreis a huge contrast to the rest of the park. Very new and modern after it's recent renovation. The resort overlooks the golf course. It has a pool, spa, gift shop, and restaurant. The restaurant had limited hours so check ahead before visiting. They have a good selection of food and a salad bar option. I tried the special of beef and mashed potato. The salad bar was very limited. Lettuce, 4 toppings and dressing choices. They have a kids menu but I ordered the kids a pizza to share. It was a frozen pizza. Overall a beauty place, great service and okay food.

The Gallery was mostly nice, but we had a disappointing experience due to inaccurate information on…read morethe Inn's website. The website has a whole page talking about how the Inn at Vaucluse Spring has "the best breakfast in Virginia." My wife saw this and it was a major reason she asked me to make a reservation. But I didn't know this when I made the reservation and hadn't seen the website. So when I called and the owner told me that the breakfast would be delivered in the room, I didn't think think anything of it. As it turned out, the "breakfast" was a collection of thoroughly mediocre food picked up at the grocery store--yogurt, bagels, orange juice. The yogurt wasn't event especially fancy. As a result, my wife was disappointed. The host did offer to give us a discount on our stay to compensate for the disappointing breakfast. But he refuses to change the misleading information on his website. To this day, the website brags, falsely, about having "the best breakfast in Virginia," creating the likelihood that other customers will be misled in the future. I could understand if it was still May 2020 and they just hadn't had time to make the change. But the pandemic has been underway for almost a year at this point. It could easily go for another year. And I think it's unethical for a business to knowingly publish inaccurate information on its website.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights. We were amazed by the delicious food each morning and…read morehow clean the place was. There wasn't a speck of dust anywhere, no joke, it was spotless, even under the bed was dust free, attention to detail like this really impressed us. Aside from the delicious food, the property is very tranquil and relaxing. They are located on over 100 acres and have several different properties to choose for your stay, we stayed in the manor house and we're glad we did. The manor house has a back porch with rocking chairs, it was perfect to sip lemonade and eat cookies (they offer mid-afternoon snacks too). I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a weekend getaway in Virginia (its about an hour and 20 minutes outside DC area).

We stayed in Room 15, the Bernstein Suite, and it was incredibly spacious. The bed was so comfortable, and I loved the thoughtful details -- especially the cute vanity room with amazing natural light and the cozy seating area. The decor throughout the inn and in the room really stood out to me and was easily my favorite part of the stay. It felt like such a unique blend of historic charm and comfort. This stay was extra special for us as it was part of our 10-year anniversary trip while driving to New York City, and it ended up being the perfect halfway stop to break up the drive. It made the whole trip feel even more memorable. We also dined at Clem's Kitchen during our stay, and the food was great. (I'm gluten free and there were plenty of options!) I really appreciated that it's part of the inn, which made the overall experience feel seamless and convenient. Overall, it's the kind of place where you can slow down, soak in the atmosphere, and enjoy something truly special. I would absolutely recommend staying here if you're in the Shenandoah Valley area.

Charming Place, Comfortable Stay…read more We enjoy stays at both chains and independent hotels/motels, just do a lot of research to ensure a solid, restful stay at either. This piqued our interest as the longest continuously run motel and it lived up to expectations of being charmingly quirky while also very comfortable -- plus, proving to be easy to access as a quick pit stop. Spouse & I agreed when checking out that we wished we were staying longer, to get to enjoy the surprisingly spacious sitting room and glassed-in porch -- we stayed in room #15 / Bernstein and recommend it to both couples and small families. The bed was cushy and my husband slept later than his norm, always a good sign for bed comfort. It is higher than average, so I took advantage of the provided step to hop in/out. Because the tavern is onsite, there were additional bathrooms handy downstairs when ours was occupied. As noted in our welcome sheet, water took a few minutes to warm up. So if showering and in a rush, run it first for 3-5 minutes while doing other prep. But hot water arrives and pressure was excellent. The rooms were spotless, though of course tiles and other fixtures are vintage and show age -- it's a historic landmark. We also wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of the porch rockers and both the tavern or (intriguingly combined) Irish-Mexican restaurant on premises. There appears to be patio seating in back, so ask if it's associated with hotel or dining, if looking for other outdoor space. Indoors, there are public spaces (two parlors plus other spots -- it's a rambling building!) with books and a checkerboard handy. Maybe more amenities but we ran out of time to explore. It's not a B&B -- there's just a stocked Keurig in the lobby and some packaged snacks and bottled water (free but donations welcomed). But if the Tavern is closed, as it was on our Memorial Dat visit, there's a small coffee shop just a half-block away, serving breakfast late as well as some sandwiches and bowls, plus good teas & coffees. Incredibly friendly staff. Looked like a few other dining options nearby plus historic sites and walking trails. We arrived very late, and management is not onsite at that hour, but instructions for arrival were provided, comprehensive and very easy to follow. Staff on site in am were very pleasant and helpful. Tip: If arriving late & lugging a ton of luggage, ask which rooms are closest to the late-night entrance. Number 15 is on the far side and up a flight of stairs -- fine for us with just overnight totes & computer bags but just something to keep in mind if you have a lot to unload. Overall, an enthusiastic thumbs-up. It looks like it would be a fun, relaxing hub for a weekend escape. But also great as a highway stop, as it is just a few minutes' drive from the exit.

From housekeeping to the wait staff to the front desk and all around this wonderful, peaceful peace of heaven we are already planning our next trip. Everyone went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed around the clock. Let me tell you all that everyone who works here is a state employee and not part of a multinational hotel chain!! Pride screams from here. Our golden doodle karma came with us and had a great time meeting new people and making new friends just like we did!! We made so many new friends, it was nothing I had yet experienced! Most of the people we met were repeat guests! We were part of a couples wedding, part of a huge cousins club reunion, one after another of lifetime memories and new lifetime friends. We went as strangers and left as friends. I really can't find a way to say how I feel as we drive home today. Sad that it is over for now and so happy for things to come.

At first, I was a little confused by this Chinese-named hostel run by an older Caucasian woman…read more But in her younger days, Laurel traveled quite a bit, becoming enamored with China (hence the Chinese hostel name). Because of her traveling, Laurel is familiar with what makes a good hostel, and accordingly provides those perks - clean beds, free soap/shampoo/conditioner, all you can eat waffle breakfast, hang-out common area for socializing, shared kitchen, board games, and bike storage locker. There's even a world map for you to pin where you're from. (Sidebar: As you'd expect, the clientele are outdoorsy folks (hikers and bicyclers), so they're on the younger side. Which is a bit different from the Teahorse website which shows a bunch of older folks congregating together.) There are a few down sides to this hotel though, which is why I knocked the rating down a star. Beyond Laurel's control, the hostel is about a mile from Harper's Ferry and that mile is 95% steep uphill, which wasn't especially fun on a bike. (It's also technically not in Harpers Ferry but the next town over.) The price is also a bit on the steep side for a hostel. We paid ~$145 for a room (consisting of 4 bunk beds). If you're renting just a bed, you'll also pay ~$35 a person, and could possibly end up in the shared room for 8. Maybe these are Harpers Ferry prices, but I know of hostels in downtown Boston that charge about the same price. Overall though, I enjoyed my experience here.

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.
