Antietam Overlook Farm

Looking for a hide-a-way but still in the Civil War historical areas? Look no further than the Antietam Overlook Farm. What a great find. The room was spacious with a private screen in porch. Since we are bird watchers, this was the ideal place for blue birds and many other colorful birds. The farm is close to the battlefield, but far enough to be secluded. We enjoyed the super friendly staff and the wonderful breakfasts. Highly recommended for birders, Civil War buffs, and romance.

My husband and I stayed overnight for our anniversary. We stayed in the "Birdwatcher" room, which had it's own private screened in porch with a fabulous view. All you hear are the birds chirping, and they are lovely to watch at the fully-filled feeders! The grounds are kept beautiful as well. VERY relaxing. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The Inn's cat, Mr. Meowsers, greeted us outside too! Would recommend the inn to anyone who needs to just get away and enjoy nature. Well worth the money.

Our stay at the Antedim Overlook Farmhouse could not have been better. The hospitality and the quality of the food, service and accommodations were unsurpassable It's a great place to stay Roger

The gardens are a delight..perfectly kept and attract many birds. The hosts are charming and very helpful with dinner suggestions. We took their advice and were very pleased with the restaurants they suggested. Plenty of room for a morning walk on the mowed pathways.

We stayed one night. We loved it. Very quiet night and we were on the first floor. Friendly staff . Everything you could ask for is here. I am hoping to make it back sometime in the summer.

Everything was really perfect for a get-away week-end. Wood burning fire in living room fireplace--so cozy. Coffee bar, drinks in the refrigerator, even wine etc. available without extra charge. Fireplace and soaking tub in bedroom were special treats. Very quiet in our room but interesting guests to talk with in the living room and breakfast room the next morning. Enjoyed a morning walk with view of white tail deer and after breakfast the resident parrot came to greet us. Very efficient, polite and welcoming host and staff.

A very romantic, cozy bed & breakfast. The breakfast was outstanding and the views were incredible. We plan to visit again in the summer.

We stayed two nights at the Antietam Overlook Farm B&B and were delighted with the beauty of the location. The rooms are spacious, clean, and simply lovely. The amenities were beyond anything we expected. The breakfasts were delicious and the hosts were an absolute delight.

Beautiful place! Many amenities, very cozy rooms, the staff and service were outstanding. The rooms were very clean, but somehow the stink bugs were getting in. I'd still recommend the Inn to others.

A lovely spot, great view, wonderful fireplaces, enormous and delicious breakfast

My wife and I celebrated our 30th Wedding anniversary and have been to quite a few B&B's over the years. This ranks as one of the best B&B experiences we've had, it was a wonderful time. Would recommend to others.

We will plan on staying there when we return to the area. Enjoyed everything.

I loved the property, it was beautiful and very peaceful. The rooms were exceptional. I wish that I had booked more than 1 night. Next time I will!

My husband and I enjoyed our two day stay very much. We were greeted by Michelle and Tina who couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. The room was cozy and extremely quiet. The offerings of wine and brandy were a lovely touch. The three course breakfast was delicious; it was served in a setting where we got to speak with other guests. We enjoyed that. The other thing we were taken with was the view. It's simply spectacular...what a lovely weekend!

Amazing location, in a pristine rural setting. Excellent property with kind, accommodating hosts. They make you feel like a welcome member of the family. Only downside, not the fault of the property, was the number of local insects called "stinkbugs" (for obvious reasons if you should happen to step on one...) These little pests may be a part of nature, but they darned annoying.

My wife and I stayed the weekend at Antietam Overlook for our Anniversary. The view was incredible, the rooms were amazing, the food was fabulous, and lets not forgot the staff who really made the stay memorable. We can't wait to go back.

This is the gold standard for Bed & breakfasts. Staff very accomodating, made us our dinner reservations. Beautiful fireplace in living area with complimentary soda, beer, wine & cordials. Great views of battlefield. Dining not reviewed as highly only because meal was rather "spicey." Highly Recommended!!!

A quiet of the beaten path getaway, great filling breakfast and casual relaxed atmosphere.

I came expecting much, and received much! A fabulous way to spend our anniversary. I highly recommend this bed and breakfast. Excellent service, good value, wonderful rooms, fantastic views.

Antietam Overlook Farm is a wonderful place to stay and is in a great location, close to the battlefield, Harpers Ferry and Shepherdstown. We've always enjoyed the Birdwatcher Room and the Great Room is comfortable and relaxing. The service has always been excellent, including suggestions for dining and making the reservations.

The staff's hospitality was really good. Enjoyed the extras like drinks and popcorn. Getting cell phone and laptop signal is apparently an ongoing problem at the inn. We had no cell or data service, which was a drag.

My husband surprised me with a stay at Antietam Overlook Farm. It was an amazing experience! The quaitness of the house, the amazing views, the friendly staff, and the delicious food all made it a stay I will never forget! We have already booked it for our anniversary next year, but we will also find a way to go back before then!

This B&B is a secluded, quiet get-away. The rooms are rustic/country, with great views. The food was equisite. We could have done without the country music playing in the common room. But, there was popcorn and cold drinks always available. The staff was very friendly, helpful and everything you could ask for. It's a bit pricey, but worth the money.

Rustic/country about sums it up. We are real people, in a real beautiful countryside.(mountain top)

- Michelle (Innkeeper)

Get away from it all with charming, comfortable luxury. Clean, friendly, quiet, beautiful!

Stayed in the Overlook room. Beautiful room and view. Innkeepers very helpful. They made are stay so wonderful. Thank you for making are stay a perfect getaway.

When we arrived, ti was beautiful. Michelle met us out front and escorted us in. Our room was so spacious and period looking! The private porch was amazing. After a long day of hiking, it was a gorgeous and relazing respite. The breakfasts were so good, they even serve dessert after breakfast! And if you are too full, they dish it for you later in the common frig. Access to the common area is also spectacular with books, music, comfortable lounging inside and out. They staff was son accomodating and friendly. We happily look forward to returning there in the Fall. A don't miss hit 5 star B&B.

We highly enjoyed our one-night stay at the Antietam Overlook Farm. Michelle and Tina were wonderful hosts. We relaxed completely and enjoyed the beautiful sunset from our room's windows. The 3 course breakfast the next morning was excellent and a wonderful way to begin the day. We will definitely start staying at B&B's in the future...very relaxing and enjoyable....better than the usual hotel stay!

Best B&B we have ever experienced. From the welcome to the farewell it was a memorable experience!

The Antietam Overlook B & B was lovley. The rooms are huge, our room. like most of the rooms, had a private screened in porch with a great view. The hut tub on premises made for a relaxing end of day. The breakfast was delicious and the portions very generous. The staff, Michelle and Tina, were very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed the nearby sights of the Antietam battlefield, Shepardstown, and Potomac river. We will definately stay here again.

Arriving at Antietam Overlook Farm/country manor house was wonderful.Private gates which required a security code made us feel not only protected but overall extremely peaceful. The home was stunning and immaculate,we had a warm welcome from the innkeeper Michelle, she actually came from the entryway and outside to greet us. After a tour we settled in to the Overlook Suite, beautifully appointed and clean, had a huge soaking tub, a fireplace,and a sumptuous queen bed,the furnishings were well kept,and the room had warmth ,with a nice selection of reading books,on history the civil war and of course the battle of Antietam. Refreshments are provided cold,hot, ect and Mr Meowser the outdoor kitty was cool to pet ,he actually guards against predators. The grounds were well kept and the view from the hilltop and our second floor screened porch balcony were gorgeous we could see over the mountains into four states. Breathtaking. The night held much adventure exploring Harpers Ferry ,SharpsBurg,Sheperds Town,all quaint and full of history,we retired with hot beverages into our room and read a few books, breakfast is included and wow, what a breakfast is was three courses,and absolutely five stars, I will return to this Bed and Breakfast in the fall as Im sure that second story balcony view will be extra beautiful.The staff were very sweet and made us feel like we owned that house. Very nice jacuzzi outside for use,and great spa products in the bath for us spoiled ladys. Very nice stay.

Looking for a 'mid point' to meet some family for dinner, I decided to get us a night at a B&B at the very last minute. From the very beginning, Antietam Overlook turned out to be a great decision. The evening prior to our stay, I was actually able to make reservations online. I called to confirm our reservation the next morning, and almost immediately received directions. Upon arriving for our one night stay, Michelle took us on a tour of the lovely accomadations and we were allowed to pick the rooms of our choice. The staff quickly helped us make a resturant selection that would suit everyone's palate, and made the reserverations for our party. The folks at Antietam charged our glasses with wine and we got ready for dinner (the recommendation - The Press Room - was a great one). We returned in the evening and again enjoyed free drinks (sodas, wine and some others) from their well stocked fridge, while my bride prepared some coffee to her taste from many selections available. We enjoyed a few board games and then my wife enjoyed the huge tub while I relaxed on a huge king size bed enjoying sounds from the water fountain and birds outside. It was a cool evening - and we slept with the screened in patio door to the outside open - cool breezes, sounds of the mountain- and awoke well rested at 0730. Morning gave way to my bride and I taking a jog/hike through the mountains to arrive back at the B&B to fresh coffee. Our 0900 breakfast and it was right on time. A very good 3 course breakfast was good - not a 5 star, but more tailored to show down home country hospitality - in keeping with the atmosphere. More orange juice and coffee.... It was a great day of respite, privacy, and time to enjoy the beauty and wonder the good Lord provides. If your want glitz/glamour/ and 'I'm better than you' type atmosphere - go somewhere else. This is all the special treatment with a down home feel. Go. enjoy. its worth it.

Staff was wonderfully friendly and the whole experience was just what we were looking for, a relaxing and romantic getaway. Especially enjoyed the nice view from our porch along with the hot tub in the evening under the stars.

There is nothing like a soak in the hot tub, under the stars, I'll order up a beautiful sunset, and the rest is up to your imagination.

Our hosts Michelle and Tina went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and ensure all our needs were met. The rooms were adorable, and the breakfasts were gourmet meals. Our Garden Unit had it's own "babbling brook" and outstanding views of Antietam Battlefield. We were tempted to stay an extra night, but needed to leave due to other commitments: we were even offered a discounted rate if we chose another night. All in all, we would return, even in the winter: our room had a fireplace, and the main parlor as well. Books, games, wifi (no tv in rooms, which was great to be away from the chatter of the news), complimentary beverages...no other place to retreat to.

My husband and I have stayed at a few B&Bs over the years. This was by far the best. My only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer. The in keepers were sooo nice and helpful. Just being able to hang with them in the common room and talk was wonderful. They have special touches like jars of marshmellows, chocolate, and graham crackers by the fireplace. The room was warm and inviting with our own private screened-in porch. They made wonderful breakfasts each morning complete with a dessert, which they would wrap for us and keep in the freezer for later if we chose. The view was breath taking. The absolute perfect place to go relax and unwind. We cannot wait to go back!

The drive up was beautiful. They gave good directions to the private drive. Hill top, sweet looking, warm house, greeted by two ladies who were very personable. Trees on two sides blocking the site of the far away neighbor's houses and the road, an open field with bench, trees lining the outer edge and finally, the view of Antietam Battlefield. Windows up stairs and down to view gorgeous sunsets and sunrises and daydreams of the history that took place below. Rooms were warm and clean. No tv or wi-fi. No noise except the wind. Bed, sofa, shower, gas fireplace, soaking tub with a view. Breakfast was always outstanding. A great combination of items, beautifully presented. Extra snacks offered to us both days. The hosts are very kind and offered good conversation. Had drinks and laughs with the owner one evening. Very enjoyable. Note that there is nothing in Sharpsburg except Captain Bender's Bar but Shepherdstown is full of entertainment and only 7 minutes away. I don't normally spend this much on lodging but I don't have a single regret. This B and B is well worth the money.

We enjoyed the room, and Michelle was very warm and welcoming.

Why, thank you very much. It is always a pleasure to interact with interesting people. A warm welcoming is what you will always get here. Please do return.

- Michelle (Innkeeper)

Beautiful location and scenery! Comfortable and relaxing. Innkeeper and owner very friendly and helpful. Would go back any time!

We had a great time there - we loved the room, the staff was very friendly, the food was delicious, and the setting, with the fireplace, the hot tub, the beer and liquor was very relaxing! James Donegan

You folks were a joy to have.You were a nice addition to our wonderful atmosphere.

- Michelle (Innkeeper)

A fantastic weekend at AOF. Rooms were very large, clean and full of lovely art. Large comfortable, common sitting area, tastefully decorated. Outstanding, very friendly innkeeper and staff. Fantastic breakfast, more than you could eat. All situated on a mountaintop that overlooks the Antietam battlefield, spectacular view and very private. Have been to several B&B's over the years, AOF is not even in the same class as these others.

Did you ever come across something so wonderful that you felt if you shared the information it would make it harder to have the opportunity to experience that pleasure again? That is how I feel about this B & B. My room was warm and cozy with amazing views day and night. The common area was inviting and relaxing with a big fire at night and others to share the events of your day with. The "staff" Michelle and Tina were so pleasent, helpful and accommodating I felt like we were old friends . Take their suggestions on where to eat, every one was great. I can't wait till I'm able to return for another visit! K Gavin

What a wonderful review, from a wonderful guest. We want you to feel like you are at your "home away from home". Being able to relax and not worry about breaking anything or saying something wrong. NOT HERE. Anything goes Oh,n remember, it is SHHHHHHH, don't tell Mark !

- Michelle (Innkeeper)

This is our third stay at the Overlook. We will continue to go back. It is basically a home away from home. Mark, Tina, and Michelle are super friendly and will do anything to make you feel at home. If you are looking for a romantic getaway, I recommend this wholeheartedly!

We have a wonderful visit at Antietam Overlook Farm. The innkeeper, Michelle, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. We will definitely stay there again!

We had a great time visiting! The innkeepers and owner were very personalable and down to earth. The breakfast was the best we had compared to other bed and breakfasts! The parrot was very entertaining and we would love to visit again sometime.

my husband and i got married june 5 and had no honeymoon plans and on the spur of the moment and a ph call we were able to arrive be met by mark and had a great room and breakfast and the rest of the staff amazing....cant wait to go back...hope to see all of u soon

Quiet surroundings, lovely bed rooms and shared spaces! Very nice hosts!

We have been to many B & B's This was simply the best! Charming, secluded, romantic. Yet still in the middle of the action .loved it so much we are booking the whole B & B for our friends to come back with us ! Thanks Mark !

we had a really nice time - the place was very nice and very clean. it does not have any tv - which qwe like when we go away.

This place is awesome and beautiful. Peace and quiet was our key requirement, and this place fit the bill 100%. The views from our room (the Overlook) were spectacular and the private screened balcony was great to hang out and watch the beautiful sunsets. The Inn Keeper, Michelle, was wonderful and very gracious!! The breakfasts were to die for!!! Delicious and substantial... Did not need lunch. Lots to do and lots of history. The C&O canal has great biking!! The Inn was a great experience and we would recommend to anyone. We celebrated my birthday and they decorated our room with balloons..wonderful touch!! Must check this place out!! And West Virginia is just around the corner with great things to do and see, great shopping and great restaurants!!!

One is overwhelmed by the friendly accommodations from the innkeepers.

Beautiful view, peaceful stay. Very nice rooms. complimentary brandy.

Outstanding in all aspects!

Serene, homey atmosphere, wonderful view, very private, welcoming staff, great breakfasts. Highly recommend, aspecially for civil war buffs. Wonderful place to stroll in nearby town.

Excellent service, cleanliness, and hospitality. This is our second visit here. Food is delicious.

Wonderful, friendly, relaxing

I cannot begin to tell you what a great experience we had at the Inn. The service was marvolous and mountain views were breath taking! After staying here, no other bed and breakfast we have stayed at even comes close to the service and hospitality we received. We definately will be back again!

What a beautiful place! Phil was a wonderful host and a great chef!

Fabulous location, Gated property with wonderful food and spectacular view. Will be back.
