Ledge House Bed & Breakfast

Harpers Ferry

My husband and I enjoyed our stay very much.  It was clean and had a lovely view from the main deck.  What really made this house amazing was our hostess, Annie. She was very accommodating. Our breakfast was outstanding.  Annie was extremely knowledgeable of the area and the best places to visit and eat.  The house has a couple decks that could use some updating and a vine was well on its way to choking out a beautiful large tree near the main deck. Take note that if you’re planning on renting bikes to use on the C and O trail, there is no easy way to get them across the bridge.  Best to drive to Sheperdstown and rent there. (Thanks for that tip Annie)

Very knowledgeable hostess, private parking

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights at the Ledge House B&B over Labor Day to celebrate our anniversary and Annie made it very welcoming and enjoyable.  Her breakfasts were delicious and her charming personality was very engaging. She keeps a very clean inn for what she has to work with.  She was an encyclopedia of knowledge to the areas and knew short cuts and paths to get to places more efficiently.  
Without Annie, we must say, the place would certainly not be inviting or the standard that we are accustomed to in staying at B&B’s.  The Ledge House is very “tired” and run down, the landscaping in overgrown, major disrepair (the deck needed power washing, light fixtures missing).  We noticed insects in our room and Annie said exterminators coming the day we were leaving.  
We can imagine how gorgeous it can be in the Fall, but this B&B will not be on our priority.

Annie IS the asset

We spent 2 nights at The Ledge House B&B in mid-May and had a wonderful stay.  Annie was the perfect hostess, and her breakfasts were amazing.  She welcomed us into her home, and we quickly felt like we were part of her family.  She was able to keep the Inn immaculate and take care of a full house of guests seemingly effortlessly. We thoroughly enjoyed her stories and spending time at breakfast with her other guests.  Harpers Ferry is rich in history and has retained its quaint feel.  We look forward to returning in the near future.

Very Welcoming Home

My husband and I want to thank Annie for being such a wonderful innkeeper. She made us feel very much at home and her breakfasts were awesome. The house is very clean, and she went out of her way to accommodate us when we asked to get started early.  Many kudos to Annie. Thank you so much kind attention to our needs and we certainly enjoyed her friendliness and attention to detail. She is gregarious and is skilled in the management of guests and breakfast preparation. 

Now, on the other hand I address this to the owners of Ledge House. As much as the interior of the house is lovely, the exterior is need of a significant work. The gardens are overgrown, and the wooden porches and decks are in need of repair with a good power washing.  The chairs and seating on the exterior are covered with moss and other detritus.

For us as B&B people, this house does not meet the standards that we look for. The property could be so much better if you would only maintain it. The parking situation is another item that is very off putting. There is not a safe way to park at your place given the very limited space in front of the garbage cans. 

With more frequent attention to the exterior, the overall impression would be better.  Inside, there are a few small items that should be taken care of including peeling wallpaper, furniture that is missing some handles, and better attachment to the walls.  There is no handrail on the living room side of the main staircase which is a hazard.  While we were there an older gentleman slipped on the bottom step.  Luckily, he was not injured, but it could have been worse.  The entire interior could stand a good cleaning of walls, closets and under beds.

As for a return trip, that is a tough question.  Annie is wonderful but needs to be dedicated to the meals and client service, while the general condition of the property is slowly falling apart.  This clearly is not part of her job description.

Annie is wonderful/House Needs Work

Annie and her staff truly went out of their way to help my sisters and me  (spread around the country) plan a nice get away for our uncle's wedding.
They were so nice to work with, and never made us feel as though we were trouble, and my uncles had a great time.
Thank you so much!

So accommodating and easy to work with.

My wife and I were traveling to Northern Virginia for a wedding and had an extra night to spend in Harper's Ferry.  The room was beautiful, walking out on the deck the scenery was breathtaking - the hospitality was amazing!  Annie offered some wonderful suggestions of places to eat, things to do and see.   We simply can't say enough about the accommodations and the  hospitality!  When back in the area, we would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful Getaway - Amazing Hospitality!

Harper's Ferry is rich with history and many things to see and do, With our stay here came helpful hints and recommendations from Annie on how to see and experience it along with where to have lunch and dinners (all though we didn't need lunch after the variety of delicious breakfast meals we had). Eating and spending quiet time on the back deck you could see the river and hear the water rushing over the rocks in the early morning and late afternoon. Annie is a very accommodating hostess and catered to any special needs or requests we had with a smile and a story. We got plenty of exercise going up and down the mountain to explore and experience the lower town as walking/hiking was easier than finding a place to park the car in town.

Wonderfull 3 Day Vacation Getaway

Our first time in wonderful Harpers Ferry. Lovely B&B. Clean, big room, great breakfast. Fantastic view of the rivers. Minutes from all the sights but the hill on the way back up…wow! Annie was a great host, really friendly and full of local knowledge.

A lovely night in Harpers Ferry

We booked suite 2 on the second floor which had a huge bedroom, private bathroom, and a sitting room with balcony. The sounds of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers could be heard.  The suite had everything we needed, and the huge bed was most comfortable.  Annie, our innkeeper, gave us advice on things to do in town, as well as creative and delicious breakfasts.  The train could be heard but didn’t bother us.  An fyi: some restaurants close very early, around 6pm.

Graduation Getaway

We spent 2 nights at this B&B. It is in a quiet area, not especially far from the historical area. On the positive side, it's a nice building, with an outside terrace with a view. The kitchen/dining room/living room is a common area for the 2 rooms available. The hostess, Annie, was very nice. Our 2 breakfasts were very good. Snacks were provided as well. Lemon water was available. Parking is available (which is rare in Harper's Ferry). Rooms were big and the bed was very good. Negatives- the place has a bit of wear, but nothing of concern. The trains in Harper's Ferry are loud and can wake you up, though this is true in the whole town, I believe. There are less at night, but not zero. The biggest concern is the steps. This place is on a hill (most of the town is hilly). Lots of steps from the parking area, and TONS of steps to go down to the historic district. Could be a major problem for the disabled.  For anyone, luggage is a bit of an issue. Nonetheless, a really nice place.
