    Spent our 29th Anniversary in Charles Town at Carriage Inn. Never really stayed at B&B before so i was a little leary of what to expect. Donn and Marie were excellent hosts and removed any hesistancy on our part. The daily snack was awesome,prepared by Donn. The history part was cool as well. Look forward to return again someday.


    Start of our history tour!

    What a perfect start to our few days of "history" get away! Donn first gave us the "history" of the house. What an unexpected surprise! Donn and Marie made us feel like family. Our rooms were beautiful and the fireplaces made it feel more like home. We would certainly recommend this B and B to our friends and hope to return.

    I was a little leary on approaching this B & B after coming along a busy thoroughfare but was greatly surprise after walking through the door. Marie was a most gracious host & gave us the interesting history of this fabulous house. Don had delicious maple squares waiting for us & Marie kindly offered a more convenient room after seeing my difficulty with the stairs. The accomodations were great & breakfast was outstanding. I would return & do recommend a stay in this warm, friendly home!


    It was perfect!!!!
