Rooms
Our rates are reasonably priced! Our rooms are “clean, uncomplicated and authentic,” according to one of our favorite, regularly lodging guests! Our rooms are generally rented by the “bed” not the room unless you are requesting and paying for a private room. This is to allow for the most rentals possible during our busy seasons (June through early October) and the most cost effective sleeping arrangement for our guests. While not upscale, you will feel right at home in our fully furnished private and shared rooms.
Hostel-esque or European style is a good way to describe the lodging area: all three bedrooms share the common area with couches and some basic kitchen facilities as well as a shared bathroom (two shared bathrooms in the summer – one upstairs in the hostel and the other in the first floor restaurant’s dining room). We have two stacked washer/dryers as well ($5 per wash/dry; includes detergent).
We have three bedrooms which total 9 beds at present with current Off-Season pricing:
- Twin beds/bunks are $30 per person.
- Full beds or Queen bed for a shared room are $50.
- Private room $100/night.
- The whole floor can be rented for $250 per night.
- For more than 4 people per room $15 extra for a 5th person.
- All rooms add 9% tax.
Scroll down to see the configuration of each of our rooms!

Each room is unique and offers the comforts of home for the active vacationer. There are also plenty of fans!
Bathrooms
We have one bathroom on the second floor where the bedrooms are and, during summer peak months, one more full bath on the first floor where the restaurant is.

- For non-lodging guests requesting a shower, it is $5 for a shower.
Common Area
The common area is long and skinny, but has great comfy seating, a TV and an epic VHS collection. We have lots of sewing stuff, games, puzzles, cards, books, and great conversation. We want you to feel right at home in this space! Carpets replaced in 2018, so we have a “no hiking boot” rule (please).

Today, we serve a solid 3×3 to every guest and enhance the experience with thick cut bacon, all you can eat wild Maine blueberry pancakes, and Poet’s famous home fries.

Guests consistently rate the Notch as one of the cleanest and most secure hostels they’ve ever stayed at.

We appreciate your help in keeping us going.
If you need a greater time of recharging, we invite you to stay on for several days. Please help us out and improve the hostel so other hikers’ experience will be even better. We appreciate any time donations anyone can give. But again, it’s not an obligation or expectation — just whatever you can do.

Our goal at the Town’s Inn (“the Inn”) is to serve individuals, couples, families, and other groups who want to savor the recreational, educational, cultural, and social activities available in this idyllic setting that has not changed much since 1783 when Thomas Jefferson wrote: “The passage of the Patowmac through the Blue Ridge is perhaps one of the most stupendous scenes in Nature… This scene is worth a voyage across the Atlantic.” We hope you enjoy your visit to this well-preserved national treasure that includes both the historic town and its exquisite natural setting!
The Town’s Inn consists of two pre-Civil War stone residences: the Mountain House at 175 High Street (circa 1820) and the Heritage House at 179 High Street (circa 1840). Located in the heart of Lower Town (the historic market district of Harpers Ferry), we are a block from the Amtrak train station and a few steps away from not only the museums of the living history village (NPS.gov/hafe), but also the C&O Towpath (NPS.gov/choh) and the Appalachian Scenic Trail (nps.gov/appa), which offer bicycling, hiking, river sports, and more. Harpers Ferry, West Virginia (almost heaven), is located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers, approximately 60 miles from Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, Maryland, and provides a nice balance for urban/ suburban lifestyles. The mild temperatures year-round make the Inn a place for all seasons, for many reasons. The average high temperature in February is 45 degrees, which makes winter getaways especially appealing. Located on the main street of town in the middle of the historical village, the Inn is well equipped to accommodate retreats, reunions, special events, and fun-filled getaways for families, couples, and individuals. Gather for meals, meetings, or just relaxation in the common areas, which include the beautiful stone patios that surround and connect the two buildings of the Inn, the Parlor in the Heritage House at 179 High Street, and the Marketplace Country Store & Self-Serve Café in the Mountain House at 175 High Street.
LODGING: Each of the eight guest rooms in the Inn is unique — but all rooms have a fridge (about 3.5 cubic feet), a microwave, a coffeemaker, and complimentary coffee and tea. Six of the rooms have private bathrooms, but only three of these rooms have the private bathroom en suite. The other two rooms share one bathroom. All of the rooms are family-friendly — and two of the rooms are pet-friendly. The prices of the rooms range from $80 to $200.
MARKETPLACE COUNTRY STORE & SELF-SERVE CAFE: The Inn offers year-round dining and shopping (6:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m. daily). The Mountain House contains a self-serve Café featuring food from fine vendors and homemade specialties. Seating is available on the patios and on the balcony. The Café in the Mountain House has indoor seating, as well. We will happily prepare customized picnics and gift baskets. The little Marketplace Country Store features hiker resupply products ~ local snacks and beverages ~ local arts and crafts ~ gifts ~ toiletries ~ souvenirs ~ books ~ and more!
SPECIAL PACKAGES: Special packages can be arranged featuring recreational activities such as outdoor sports and tours to nearby wineries and breweries. The Inn also features educational activities through the American Health & Heritage Adventure Academy.
AMERICAN HEALTH & HERITAGE ACADEMY (AHHAA): The Academy, located on the premises, provides customized educational packages for individuals and groups with special interests. Courses are taught by local residents who live and work in or near Harpers Ferry, for example National Park Rangers, Appalachian Trail Conservancy staff, Shepherd University professors, and many other talented and gifted people who are eager to share their expertise about health, history, and our American heritage (including music, art, drama, and more) with visitors to Harpers Ferry. Any visitor can savor self instructional activities. See http://www.ExperienceHarpersFerry.com to learn more about this amazing village.
