Beautiful and interesting stay

We were very impressed with both the service of the staff and the comfort of this lovely 200-year-old home. It was right in the center of the charming little village, within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and places of interest.

We love the ambiance and location of the Town’s Inn. The stay this time was a bit challenging, since we had a twin room in the 3rd floor, with a small shared bathroom on the 2nd floor. Not something we’d choose to do again at our age (70’s). However, there are certainly better rooms there, which we had a few years back. Choose your room wisely.

Beautiful!

I couldn’t have a more pleasant stay! The Inn was built pre Civil War, yet the host kept the Inn just the way one would imagine a Inn to look like during that part of history. There was always a home cooked meal, and several other tasty treats available. Furthermore, you have a option of preparing your own meal. The rooms were very comfortable, and even better was one didn’t need to drive to eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner! So, if your looking for excellent hospitality with a twist, this is a must!

The experience of a lifetime

Karen, Linda and the staff were excellent. The room and accommodations were superior. The town has specific requirements that are VERY unusual, that only add to the trip. We stayed for 2 nights with our small dog in had memories that will last a lifetime. If you are looking for a weekend away this is worth your time.

The Town’s Inn is an 1820 Historic Landmark located in the heart of all of historic district in Harpers Ferry. The train station, eateries, rivers, park, hiking/biking trails are all close to the Inn. There is a self serve mini market with plenty of food choices ready to eat or that can be prepared. There are also gifts/keepsakes for purchase. The atmosphere is pure southern hospitality and very gentile. I almost didn’t want to leave. I felt at home.

Perfect, Rustic BNB

This BNB could not have been more perfect and charming. A little rustic but that's right up my alley. Also located right in the middle of town and within walking distance to everything. Hoping to make this a yearly destination!

I loved staying at the Town's Inn. It was one of the best places I have ever stayed. Karan and Rebeckah could not have been more helpful and kind (Thank You). The Town's Inn felt like home away from home. Convenient to all the historic sights and walking distance to the Appalachian Trail. Harper's Ferry and especially the Town's Inn should be put on everyone's bucket list. I highly recommend the Town's Inn.

Awesome Hosts!! They greeted us warmly and even upgraded our room! We enjoyed the old world charm!

It is not for everyone because there are alot of stairs everywhere in Harper's Ferry. We had no problems with this so our stay was very enjoyable. Room was warm and decorated nicely! Found the ghost hole in the floor and read some interesting notes left by previous guests! Harper's Ferry should be on everyone's bucket list. So much history!!
