Hillbrook Inn, Fine Dining & Spa

Picture a European style country house cascading down a limestone ridge on 8 levels, 2000 panes of glass flooding the interior with light. Imagine the rich patina of old wood, the gleam of polished brass, and the deep jewel tones of oriental carpets. Imagine, too, Flemish oils, African masks and a library lined with books, all in a charming Charles Town bed and breakfast.

Add the flicker of candles, the warmth of a fire. A love seat. An intimate table for two. A quiet place to be alone together. Gardens bursting with color, a meandering stream and ducks on the pond. The gold of autumn. The beauty of a winter storm. And Dinner. Five spectacular courses. Fragrant herbs from the kitchen dooryard; vegetables from a nearby farm. Sophisticated yet unpretentious. Elegant. Eclectic... Welcome to Hillbrook Inn, our magnificent Harpers Ferry bed & breakfast!

Circa 1700, this graceful English Tudor inn meanders down the hillside overlooking a pond framed by daffodils and 17 acres of estate grounds that include streams, gardens and wooded walks. The land upon which our beautiful West Virginia bed and breakfast sits once belonged to George Washington; and although most of the current structure was built in 1920, part began in the 1700s.

Decorated in a European country-house style, this attractive Charles Town bed and breakfast is replete with rich dark woods and interesting pieces that demand a lengthy stay to fully enjoy. In 2004 we purchased this striking Charles Town inn. From the moment we drove down the driveway we fell in love and knew we had to make it an important part of our life. We did not just want to hold this dream for ourselves; we wanted to share it with everyone!

Not only are Chris and Carissa business partners, but partners in life. We have been a part of each other's life for 17 years and we look forward to every aspect of our life together! We are also happy that we are able to share it with so many wonderful people at our superb West Virginia bed and breakfast. Thank you for being a part of our dream!

After your delightfully relaxing and enjoyable stay at Hillbrook Inn, you will be convinced that our beautiful bed and breakfast in West Virginia is, by far, the most romantic of all West Virginia getaways!

Our unique, fine dining experience offers guests award winning meals created with passion!
