Award: Best Place to Stay in Harpers Ferry

“The Light Horse Inn skillfully blends its historical Harpers Ferry setting with surprisingly modern comforts, particularly evident in its well-appointed bathrooms and restful rooms. Breakfast here is a genuine highlight, a thoughtfully prepared affair that surpasses typical inn fare, often accompanied by engaging historical insights from the innkeeper herself. While not catering to a modern-centric guest with amenities like flat-screen TVs, the inn cultivates a distinct charm that prioritizes its period character and communal spaces.”
