Fodor's Review:

Guests return again and again for the homey touches and personal attention that make this B&B unique. Enjoy peach iced tea, mulled cider, and fresh-baked cranberry-chocolate chip cookies in the back parlor in the afternoon, or borrow a bike to explore the C&O Canal towpath. The innkeepers, who live next door, chat with each guest and know everything happening in town. The inn is made of two connected 19th-century row houses, including the childhood home of Julia Dent, the wife of President Ulysses S. Grant, and is furnished with antiques and period reproductions. Three-course breakfasts cooked up by innkeeper Kirsten Hansen include dazzlers like lemon coconut bread and crème brûlée French toast. Massages using a Danish technique that unlocks stiff muscles are available. Pros: children are welcome; a popular spot for cyclists biking the entire canal trail. Cons: small rooms.
