Overall Ratings & Reviews Light Horse Inn

Very spacious room and bath. Maybe the best breakfast I have ever had at a B&B. Friendly and gracious housekeeper/chef.

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!

Amazing breakfast every morning, and Megan is very responsive to the guests!

Nicely redone Inn, close to lots of wonderful hiking, historic sites and great restaurants.

Lovely b&b

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!!

We intend to return for a 2nd visit to the Inn.

It is a lovely old property, the breakfast was wonderful and it was close to good restaurants and a fun little bar.

Excellent location and historic charm. Walk to Harper’s Ferry. Very nice home cooked breakfast.

Loved the beautiful architecture and furniture, it was a very charming, elegant and interesting place to stay. Rooms were spacious and comfortable, and I enjoyed the huge bathtub! We also enjoyed the barn next door with live music.

Breakfast was exceptional.

Historical

A nice place close to Bolivar Heights (not down in Old Town which would be a bit of a walk for many folks). The property is everything the owners describe and the access and amenities are great. Remember though, it's a old (very old) house (once owned by R.E. Lee's father, -hence the name) and with that should come some expectations. Creaky floors, stairs (of your room isn't on the main floor), uneven surfaces, and door gaps. Parking is close, free and convenient and in HF that's a HUGE bonus. If you're looking for a more unique experience while in the area then this is for you. If, on the other hand, you're a "Marriott" sort of traveler, this may not be your cup of tea.

Historic, interesting inn. Great location.

We loved the accommodation and breakfasts. We would however say that the property was very dusty. The skirting boards, bedroom furniture and wood work in the bathroom had not been dusted for quite some time.

Suite #2. No innkeeper on property. No cell service in the area of the inn. The bed was as hard as the rock the inn was built upon. Barely any padding on top of the stiff metal springs/frame – little sleep either night. Music from the Barn behind the inn was not too noticeable. Wifi went out on second day – no way to communicate with the outside world. Furniture in common areas and rooms are “old and worn out”; not antiques. Major “dust bunnies” under the bed. Cheap curtains and wall hangings. Definitely low budget renovation. Not even a box of tissues or clock in the room. Positive: the cook, Elizabeth. She was very friendly, knowledgeable of the area history and communicated it well. Overall, the “inn” was a big disappointment. Okay if you are looking to rent an uncomfortable room for the night.

This historic inn has been beautifully restored. The chef was so accommodating about dietary issues and about fixing us a to go breakfast when we left early. There is entertainment Wed-Sun out back in The Barn. Sadly, we didn't get to hear that. There's a nice wine bar and restaurant next door.

This historic inn was fabulous. The room was comfortable and clean! This is a very unique place. Breakfast was wonderful! The chef was creative and accommodating to guests with food allergies. She was very knowledgeable about the history of the inn and Harper’s Ferry and just a joy to talk to. Loved this place!

Historic feel/decor with modern comfort/amenities. Two great restaurants and one entertainment option within steps. Not particularly close to anything else or historic "downtown" but everything in HP a short drive (or medium walk) away. Breakfast very good and if you can't wait until 9am they provided us a to-go bag so we could get going on hike to Maryland Heights before the heat of the day. Would definitely stay here again.
