Harpers Ferry & the Blue Ridge Mountains


The Angler's Inn, a spacious Victorian Bed and Breakfast, is truly a 'Home away from Home' where you can rest and enjoy the historic and outdoor adventure that Harper's Ferry, WV brings to the Blue Ridge Mountains. 



Visit the historic district of Harper's Ferry, return & retire to your private suite and bring your day to a restful close. Enjoy the soothing mountain air and the sound of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers converging at the historic village of Harpers Ferry, WV, in this Victorian B&B. Whether you want lots of action or lots of relaxin’, the historic sites, fishing, outdoor activities, antiquing, mountain setting and hospitality at The Angler’s Inn provide the perfect combination for your getaway to the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Angler’s Inn B&B is a Circa 1890 Victorian home. The living room and wraparound porch, complete with swing and rocking chairs, are inviting settings to meet new friends, and enjoy homemade cookies and refreshments in the afternoon. The Wager Room has been named after Sarah Wager, whose family inherited much of Robert Harper’s estate. The Remington Room named after the previous owners of the home has been decorated with selections from the Innkeepers’ antique fishing gear. 

The Angler’s Inn offers Fishing Trips on the nationally famed Potomac River. Either by Jet Bass Boat, McKenzie River Drift Boat, or 17 foot Canoes, one of our hand selected professional guides will masterfully position you on the river to do what you came to do...."relax and catch fish". Harpers Ferry is full of activities for everyone’s interests, during all seasons of the year. The Angler’s Inn is conveniently located on the main street of Harpers Ferry. The shops and historical sites are within walking distance, as are the Appalachian Trail and the C&O Canal. Even in winter the snow covered mountains and Jefferson’s Rock make a grand reward of a short walk from The Angler’s Inn. 

The Innkeepers are Debbi and Bryan Kelly.

Washington House Inn-Colonial Charles Town






Washington House Inn B&B in Colonial Charles Town


Enjoy the ambiance, comfort and hospitality of a Bygone Era just 60 miles from Washington, DC. In charming Colonial Charles Town, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains where the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers meet, the Washington House Inn is a wonderful example of late Victorian architecture. 

Built at the turn of the century, by descendants of President Washington's brothers John Augustine and Samuel. The Inn is graced with antique furnishings, carved oak mantles, fireplaces and spacious guest rooms, each with air conditioning, queen size bed and private bath. B & B’s are the opening of private homes and new friendships, so relax with friends in the parlor with refreshments, enjoy the serenity of the gazebo or unwind on the large, inviting wraparound veranda, complete with swing and rocking chairs. 

Take a leisurely stroll to the charming Colonial Main Street. Hike the mountain trails of the Blue Ridge or bike along the restored C&O towpath. Drive to nearby historical sites, and find that perfect antique on the way back to the Inn. The Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers offer exciting white water rafting, kayaking and serene bird watching or simply float down the peaceful river for a quiet summer day.
