The home is decorated reminiscent of a bygone era, in a nostalgic way. There are common rooms to hunker down in. Our bedroom had a comfortable bed which was key. The marble bathroom was beautiful.

The breakfast in the morning was above and beyond what we expected and truly sets the Airwell apart from other BnBs. Highly recommended!! I would go back in a heartbeat.

Stayed for a week. Wish it had been longer!…read more Totally awesome 1807 wood home that has been completely raised and rebuilt near Leesburg, Virginia. Featured in This Old House Magazine, this 18th Century log home has been lovingly restored with colonial detail and modern conveniences. It is a perfect private getaway, full of warmth and charm. Owners, Gina and Ted Blake are unbelievable hosts. The house sleeps five people comfortably, and includes a modern kitchen and (single) bathroom, as well as, central heat and air conditioning. The modern kitchen comes stocked with fresh fruit, coffee, eggs, cereals and other breakfast items - if you remain hungry at 11am, it's your own fault! The food and pantry are totally stocked with every need. Only thing, don't expect a oven... but there is a microwave. The kitchen otherwise comes with a full size refrigerator, stove top (with pans and pots), toaster and charcoal grill. We took our horse there, and enjoyed the facilities... as did our horse. She didn't want to get back on the trailer when it was time to leave! Bottom line: We're already planning to book again in a year.

This place is SO neat. I was looking for a cottage in the Middleburg or Leesburg areas so that…read moresome girlfriends and I could spend the day shopping and going to vineyards without having to drive all the way back to DC. It was a perfect end to our snowy Saturday! We drove up to the house all lit up under a blanket of snow and quickly were oohing and ahhing at the fantastic interior. Gina and Ted are friendly and laid-back, and the house itself is comfortable and cozy. The kitchen lacks an oven so we were glad we had planned to make a big pot of risotto for dinner, but they generously stock the fridge with breakfast foods--and we arrived to find a beautiful lemon cake, as well (Gina sometimes brings leftover stock from a nearby cake shop for guests of the cottage). The house sleeps five very comfortably--we were asked ahead of time whether we preferred 5 twins or 2 kings and a twin, which was really nice since we were five girls traveling together. There is only one bathroom, but it worked out fine, even with all females :) The central heat was great--we had anticipated a chilly old cottage but it was REALLY warm and cozy inside--the perfect spot for cooking together and playing Taboo :) We plan to go back next year (if not sooner). The ONLY thing that we really wished it had was a working fireplace--there is a fireplace but it does not appear to work. There's an outdoor fire pit, but there was too much snow to enjoy that the night we were there. So we made our s'mores with homemade marshmallows in the microwave :) The furnishings are quaint, the house is adorable, and the setting is beautiful. We opened the door in the morning to find Ted and Gina's dog sitting on the porch, and they came over and chatted with us while they fed the horses. They were extremely friendly, and told us to stay as long as we wanted since there were no guests the following night. If you stay, be sure to check out the photo album that documents them rebuilding the house--it's pretty amazing!

Absolutely Amazing Experience at Light Horse!…read more I cannot say enough wonderful things about Light Horse in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia! We accidentally booked our hotel for the wrong year and showed up without the reservation we thought we had. The staff could have easily turned us away, but instead they went above and beyond to help us! They found us an apartment when we had originally booked a small single room and even honored the same price we would have paid through Expedia. They were incredibly kind, accommodating, and genuinely wanted to make sure we had a place to stay so we didn't have to keep driving around searching for a hotel. That kind of customer service is priceless! If you're visiting Harpers Ferry, I highly recommend Light Horse. Five stars all the way! We are so grateful for how they took care of us!

The king-sized bed was comfortably firm. The furnishings were beautiful throughout the property -- which, as it turns out, we had completely to ourselves -- and included two public sitting rooms.

One quibble: the Inn's website mentions a full-service bar on the property. This amenity doesn't currently exist. I recommend the Light Horse Inn!

There is one bedroom with a queen-sized bed, and then there is a loft with a double bed. The ladder goes straight up to the loft. Getting up to the loft is not for the faint of heart. Three of the adults were in their 50s, and two not in the best of shape, so there was no way we could get into the loft. The rest of us slept on the main level. There is also a blow-up bed that was easy to use. The bathroom was very nice. The kitchen had everything we needed. The garden was cute. My sister and I read out on the swing during the day and at night we all sat around the fire. We took our two dogs, also. We walked them a few times during the day around the neighborhood. There was some open space if you walk behind the house and then turn right at the next street. . The host, Shawn, was available whenever we needed him. For the breakfast part, due to Covid, you let them know beforehand what you want and Lily B&B leaves it in the kitchen and you make it yourself, which was fine with me. Shawn also makes an awesome quiche which we all enjoyed. We had a lot of fun. We've never gone away for Thanksgiving but we just might do it again next year.

The house has several 'rooms' which works well for appearing to have multiple event spaces, getting ready before the ceremony, and a quiet place for older guests to relax (if needed). Doug is the event manager and is super proactive, responsive and accommodating. Once we visited Whitehall, we knew we were done shopping for venues. On the day of, everything was seamless. The wait staff was very conscious of any specific meal requests (e.g., gluten free, allergies) when serving, prepared a table with snacks and drinks for both the bridal party and groomsmen before the ceremony, and also found us during pictures post-ceremony to see if we needed any foods/drinks - amazing service! One thing to note that due to the location, hotels are about 20-30 minutes away (so we opted to offer bus transportation for our guests), but there is a lot of parking available at the venue.

I was very lucky to have found this place (after several unsuccessful searches to find a small indoor venue for our hour long ceremony). Weddings on Wirt will hold up to 30 people. Although the space is the small, the little touches like the gold chairs (which are part of your hourly rental) and historical looking furnishings are a nice alternative to getting married at the courthouse (also looks better in pictures than a courthouse). Suzanne (the owner of Legacy Weddings and proprietary of Weddings on Wirt) is very accommodating. If you have a small event planned the space and add-ons available are perfect. (Although, the space is typically used for weddings. Suzanne is flexible (and told me) she has hosted other events at space, like baby showers). I loved the fact that Weddings on Wirt has wedding packages and gives their prices up front. We decided for example to add a small cake and sparkling cider toast to our hourly package after our ceremony was finished (we made this decision, a week before the ceremony, and Suzanne didn't mind the last minute decisions). In a nutshell, I recommend this space for a small gathering due to its flexible terms and affordability.

This review is for wedding planning services, and not the use of the Wirt House…read more A friend dropped Suzanne's name after we got engaged, and since I was going through some job issues I knew I needed a planner. We met with Suzanne and I liked her immediately. She's very kind and outgoing, honest but not harsh about anything. She listened to my wants/needs/ideas and was just as enthusiastic about them as I was. She threw out a name of a venue nearby and it ended up being exactly what we were looking for, and we went with it! To start, I loved the Wirt house, so charming! She was very factual and really knew her stuff. She pointed out a ton of things I hadn't even begun to think about, and I have NO idea what I would have done without her! I learned from this whole ordeal that I am a closet control freak, and I took on planning most of the wedding myself when I should have let go of the reins...but Suzanne was incredibly patient and understanding with me, even while I was having meltdowns throughout the year due to the combined stress of wedding planning and my ongoing career roadbumps. When my job became too difficult to attend some of the vendor meetings she went in my place and didn't miss a beat. As for the final wedding day, I'm convinced she's a superhero. There was SO MUCH going on, so many things to attend to and oversee, and she did it all completely by herself! No assistants or anything, I would have needed at least 3 to do all of that! And she did all of this while I had turned myself completely off a couple weeks before the big day. I simply had no more to give and she took it like a champ and was still smiling from ear to ear. I loved that she was, if not more, excited about the wedding and wasn't just looking at it like it was a job she had to get through. I have zero experience with weddings, never gave much thought to mine until I got engaged...so I have nothing to compare it to but honestly I have no regrets about using Suzanne. Thanks for making my special day seemingly flawless!

My wife and I were keen on finding a venue that had a vibrant nature and outdoorsy vibe. We were…read moreimmediately charmed when we first saw East Lynn Farms, and met the team behind its operation. The owners Georgia and Peter were incredibly supportive, and gave sage advice throughout our planning process. In addition, Alyson, who handles the emails for the farm, was always incredibly quick to provide responses to our questions, and was a pleasure to communicate with. We visited the venue a couple times throughout 2019 between January and our wedding this past September. It takes some imagination to picture how the grounds would look like on your wedding day, because it transforms so much with each season. However, we thought it was gorgeous and made for a terrific backdrop each time we visited regardless of the season. The farm is between an hour to an hour and a half outside of D.C. so it is a fantastic option for getting a rustic venue space that is still accessible for our friends living in the city and the families flying in to Reagan or Dulles. There is a lot of flexibility for events at East Lynn Farms, which may be a stressor for couples depending on their appetite for DIY versus a turnkey wedding option. The farm includes some decorations and a list of recommended vendors, but we were not restricted to the list as long as the vendors we chose had the appropriate license and insurance. The farm allows you to provide our own beverages for events, and we were able to save quite a bit by sourcing our drinks from Costco rather than ordering through the caterer. My wife and I were initially worried about how hot might be at the tail end of Summer, and we contemplated renting fans or A/C units for the wedding. Thankfully, Georgia advised us that the surrounding mountains provided the area with a cooler ambient temperature and a reasonable breeze that negated the need for that hefty expense. On our wedding day, the weather was perfect! Even at the peak of the afternoon it never got so hot that it was uncomfortable to wear a suit jacket, and at the end of the night it wasn't so cold that one needed a jacket. There's no limit of the amount of praise and recommendations my wife and I would give to East Lynn! We honestly couldn't have imagined a better place to have our wedding!
