The Carriage House at Highlawn Inn
The Carriage House:

The quest for a perfect room finds a successful climax tucked away on the top floor of Highlawn's Carriage House restoration. An oversized Victorian room with a high peaked ceiling and exposed beams, it's expansive, yet intimate.

A pink whirlpool bath built for two peeks from behind antique French doors set obliquely. Stunning forest green, antique, pressed-tin ceiling panels frame the tub and contribute to the feel of a rustic garden. An enclosed shower, pedestal sink, and small refrigerator complete the glassed-in bathroom.

Subtleties abound, offering an endless supply of exotic memories. These are triangular windows, a restored hay door, specially created stained-glass pieces, and a library nook set for browsing.

Guests love the electronic remote that ignites a gas fire stove at the foot of the queen-size bed. Furniture is attractive and comfortable, and a custom-crafted corner cupboard hides a color TV, VCR, and selection of videos.

The original cedar siding wraps the main Inn's Carriage House in a warm red glow.

This treasure for two is affordable at $205 per night.

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.
