The rooms are very spacious and furnished with older items in keeping with the decor. If yiu are ecpecting a modern place look elsewhere. The WiFi is good. The breakfast is excellent, though the chef is the only member of the staff we saw.

Wonderful Bed & Breakfast, 1 mile up the hill from the Harpers Ferry historic district. The house itself was charming, I enjoyed exploring it. I absolutely loved my room, with it's old school furnishings and a jetted tub - perfect for soaking after a long day of hiking. Megan, the Chef and manager was terrific. Her breakfasts were delicious, including the omelettes she made with tomatoes from her garden. Plenty of parking - I actually never moved the car until I checked out. I worked from the outdoor seating area a couple of mornings. Be warned it's an uphill walk from the historic district, so folks with mobility challenges will want to drive it, but I enjoyed the slow stroll upwards at the end of each day, with cookies in the kitchen left for guests as an evening treat. I would absolutely stay again.

Stayed at the Light Horse Inn for two nights. Absolutely loved it. You have to manage expectations because this isn't an ultra modern hotel with a restaurant, bar workout facilities, etc. However if you love history, antiques and the charm of a very unique stay, Light Horse Inn is for you. The room was very large and decorated with timeless antiques. They are very responsive via text for any questions, concerns. The chef, I believe her name was Megan made me a to go breakfast because I could not stay for the sit down. I would not hesitate to stay there again, it would be my only choice for Harpers Ferry.

LOVELY

Easy clear check in process. Let us check in early. Walk downtown was longer than we thought it would be with hills. If you’re not in shape to walk would recommend driving there. Ate at the Rabbit Hole which was wonderful. Hotel was very accommodating by making us a “to go” Breakfast. Area was very quiet in spite of the fact that there was a bar with music and a fire station next door. Coffee and tea available 24/7. Just a LOVELY stay

This is a beautiful property with interesting history. The room was comfortable. The innkeepers are very gracious and helpful. While not located in the heart of the historic district, it’s a short walk away. Quite honestly, it’s better than being in the heart anyway - more quiet and easier parking. There is a fantastic bar just behind the house, and Snallygasters (best restaurant in town) is next door.

The breakfast was fantastic!!! Dining room was wonderfully laid out with spacious seating for each suite. The egg, cheese, and tater tot casserole was the perfect portion coupled with the sausage links and English muffin. Fresh fruit cup, OJ, and coffee rounded out this dining experience. The chef/innkeeper, Elizabeth, regaled us with some history of the property, the area, and Civil War as it impacted the region and the property. It truly added to the charm of this inn. The room was large (the reason why was explained in the breakfast story!), the bed was super comfortable, and the bathroom was great. The remaining room appointments were matched to the period of the inn. I loved this inn and my suite!

It’s super charming…

Our stay was wonderful. The location is great. We are within walking distance (200 yards) of the Barn and a couple places to grab a bite. The building is super charming as are the rooms themselves. The only drawback is that the mattresses (Weber started in two different rooms) are pretty uncomfortable because they are hard. Other than that, we have no complaints. The rates are good and the overall experience is top notch! It is our go to place in Harper’s Ferry for the foreseeable future. Highly recommended!!
