Harpers Ferry Guest House

You are provided with large, bright, airy, smoke free air conditioned rooms in a truly historic setting. The main guest rooms each have a four poster queen bed, private attached modern bath and ceiling fans. The atmosphere is informal and friendly.
Breakfast is served in a common dining room that is adjacent to the kitchen area allowing guests and hosts to converse while breakfast is being prepared and served.
