I stayed at the Jacob Rohrbach Inn on a recent business trip with a couple of my colleagues. It is situated on the main street of the historic town of Sharpsburg. After driving all day, we arrived at the Inn, where we were welcomed in the driveway by JoAnn, and immediately given a tour of the Inn, and our rooms. It was still light out, and we were able to enjoy the beautiful gardens in back of the house, and the porch just off our room. JoAnn gave us some dinner recommendations, and we had a lovely meal at a restaurant just down the street. I was sharing a room with a colleague, and while we were out, JoAnn came in and made the room ready for sleeping. The rooms had all the amenities of home, plus information and books about the area. There was even a TV, and audio system, and if we had more time to watch it - even a DVD about Antietam, etc. Of special note were the bedsheets. They had to be of the highest thread count available - butter soft, and so comfortable. The morning was beautiful, and again we enjoyed the porch and the garden. At breakfast we found we were the only guests not affiliated with a civil war re-enactment. It was very fun to be having breakfast with people in late nineteenth century dress! The food was wonderful, delicious and plentiful - even featuring an apple cobbler made from the neighbor's tree. Every detail was completely thought out, and I only wish I could have lingered at the Inn a little longer. I hope I can return to the Jacob Rohrbach Inn soon!

As returning guests at Joanne & Pauls lovely Inn, I would like to add my comments regarding our stay at their beautiful home.
Attention to details in the home, surrounding yards, and of course in the fabulous breakfast is what entices us back time and again.
The sumptious sleeping accomodations are exquisite. Special details such as fine embroidered linens and comfy down quilts just allows for one to relax and recouperate from the day to day stress of the normal week.
We thank you once again for a GREAT respite from the crazy work world.

“I will never stay at the Rohrbach Inn again”

Jacob Rohrbach Inn

1/7 found this review helpful

I will never stay at the Rohrbach Inn ever again. For the past three years, during anniversary weekend / Heritage Day I’ve stayed at the Rohrbach Inn. While in Sharpsburg I do a first person impression of a Civil War soldier which includes not only wearing a uniform and accoutrements, but also artificial hair or dye as well. This weekend, while wiping excess water soluble dye from around my hairline I stained one of their towels. Many hours later, when I returned to my room, I noticed half of my pillows had been removed. On the bed was a written note from Joanne telling me to wash my hair before I go to bed because the hair dye might ruin their pillow cases. She laid the stained towel on my pillow case as a reminder. I immediately took the towel into the bathroom, and washed it with hot water, soap and shampoo. With the exception of a few specks I was able to remove the entire stain. When I checked out the following morning I apologized for staining their towel. Joanne told me that she bleached it and couldn’t get the stain out. She gave me my receipt which I didn’t look at until I got home. To my surprise I was charged $10.00 for the towel in question, which was already torn, and could easily be replaced for a buck at a dollar store. They’ve lost my business for good.

Yes, we charged him $10 for the towel he ruined with hair dye. This was a minimal and legitimate charge considering the towel was part of a four part embroidered set which we cannot use anymore. The towel was not damaged before he ruined it. Had he brought it to our attention it may have been saved, but he did not, leaving us to find it hours later with set stains. We used his $10 to have the towel professionally cleaned and now after 3 washings there is still discoloration.

I read the TripAdvisor reviews for this veyr pleasant B&B and doubted that any place could merit all the praise. To any other skeptics out there: Believe the reviews. They give a very good assessment of this charming place.

“Almost Home!”

Jacob Rohrbach Inn

1/1 found this review helpful

My husband and I just returned from a four night stay at this wonderful bed and breakfast. We stayed in the beautiful Thomas Jackson room and it was a lot larger than the pictures on the innkeepers website. A private entrance with patio allowed us to sit and enjoy the quiet surroundings. The innkeepers were the sweetest and couldn't have been more accomodating. The breakfasts were very good (I think I need to learn how to cook all over again!) We enjoyed Antietem, nearby towns, and antiquing.
We hope to return again as there is so much to do in the area and it felt almost like home at the inn!
