We were riding the C&O the owners let us know about a crossing issue and gave us a contact to solve that. On our ride we had some bike troubles. The owners again came to our rescue with a contact for a contact!!! The little carriage room was just perfect.

Cozy place!

I was looking for a B&B close to my sister's house in Harpers Ferry, and was overjoyed to find something available just steps away from her! The Carriage House had just what we needed to meet our basic needs of sleep & shower, and the room was nicely decorated with thoughtful extras.

Harpers Ferry Serene

The Carriage House was a perfect spot for exploring Harpers Ferry and the surrounding area. It was very comfortable, and the outdoor sitting area was serene. Loved being able to walk downtown. Greatly enjoyed seeing deer around the property in the evenings.
