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!

This year I had the opportunity to visit Antietam batlefield in Maryland, USA. Whenever I go to a Civil War battlefield I like to stay at a period, or near to period B&B.

I find it helps with getting into the atmosphere of the Civil War history. I found the Jacob Rohrbach inn at Sharpsburg by searching on the internet. After some useful e-mail conversations I was able to book the room that would suit me.

I found Joanne and Paul very welcoming and throughout my stay they made me feel very much at home. Joanne's meals in the morning were excellent and really set me up for the day, (did not need to worry about lunch), also filling my thermos full of hot coffee for my battlefield marches was never a problem.

The accomodation facilites were excellent and there was even WiFi on tap for me to update my blog for the kids' to see what I was up to.

Paul's and Joanne's knowledge of the area was excellent and on their advice I took a trip down to Harpers Ferry, stopping by John Brown's house on the way. Great advice and a great day was had.

When it was time to go home back through Washington Dulles Airport, Paul suggested that I take the time to go through the National Air and Space Museum. He even had the google map directions all laid out for me to get there. Well I went, and it was great.

This pretty much sums up the experience that I had staying with Joanne and Paul. They both went out of their way to make my stay an enjoyable and memorable one. If I am back this way, this is a place to stay that is already on the schedule.

This was our second stay at this wonderful B &B, our preferred home base for the annual Contemporary American Theatre Festival in nearby West Virginia. The hosts are intelligent, welcoming, and cordial -- friendly and full of information, both practical and historical. They even arranged breakfast seating for optimal conversation among like-minded couples. Beautiful house, lovely grounds, close to Antietam for history lovers, and the hosts rent bikes for an easy ride around town and down the scenic towpath along the Potomac (we went to Harpers Ferry, had lunch there, and rode back --a great time!).

My husband and I just returned from a wonderful stay with Joanne and Paul. Our room, The General's Quarters, was perfect. It was the original Summer Kitchen that has been converted to a fabulous suite with every amenity you could want including wireless internet, TV/VCR/DVD, refrigerator among many more. The bathroom was spacious and elegant. And the bed was extremely comfortable. The hosts were so informative about the history of the area. We highly recommend this inn. It's perfect for a Civil War history buff, a romantic getaway, or a family vacation. It's a destination in itself, although there is so much to do in the area. And the breakast was not only attractive but delicous. We will be back!!!!
