Get Away to Our Vacation Rental in Berkeley Springs

The Bathkeeper’s Quarters (circa 1900):

More than a century after George Washington selected the adjacent lots for his summer residence, local inventor and builder Henry Harrison “Tip” Hunter built his own home on the hill above town. Hunter was a splendid character claiming, to his credit, duty as a Confederate spy, years as the bathkeeper at the Springs, original prospector of the town’s world-famous glass sand, and architect and builder of some of the finest buildings in Berkeley Springs.

The best of past and present, privacy and luxurious services for one couple or two in a turn-of-the-century home, overlooking the historic warm springs and town of Bath.

Quarter’s guests stroll around the block for innkeeper Sandra Kauffman’s celebrated gourmet breakfasts, served in the Victorian elegance of Highlawn Inn’s dining room.
