Thank you for staying at the historic Kearneysville schoolhouse. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay and found the location so convenient.
5/5 Kearneysville is ideally located to take in Gettysburg, Martinsburg, Harpers Ferry, CharlesTown, & Sharpsburg / Antietam Battlefield . We were to visit all during our 5-day stay . After walking all day, each day, we were rewarded at end of each one to come back to this GREAT Historic Schoolhouse to “take the load off our feet” & RELAX !

5/5 We very much enjoyed our stay in this sweet little schoolhouse. The sleeping area/living room was spacious and we were all quite comfortable there. The place was beautifully decorated with a fun schoolhouse theme. The house was clean and inviting. My husband, college-age son, and I were in the area to enjoy historic sites and hiking. For us, the location was excellent since it is just a short drive to many interesting locations.
