Great hosts with clean classy rooms. There is a garage for bike storage and the bike trail is directly across the street. Location is about midway on the Maryland Rail Trail so you can do half one day and the other half the next day, and visit Fort Frederick at the end of the trail. Bill cooks up a great... More

This was a great place to stay while biking the trail. Hose to wash off bikes and a garage for safety. We stayed in the Railroad Room and it even had a jacuzzi tub which was wonderful after a long day of biking. The innkeepers had a washing machine, water and drinks and also snacks and brownies. What a treat... More

The 1828 Trail Inn was just what the doctor ordered after a long, rainy day on the C&O. Even though we arrived a little later that we anticipated, we were greeted by Darlene on the front porch and directed to the back of the property where we were able to hose off ourselves and our bikes. After we put the... More

I was at that nasty best value hotel and decided to see if b&b was around. Called Bill an Darlene and they had a spare room. Doctors Suite. King sie suite more like an apartment. Everything is spotless. Breakfast and snacks prepared by Bill. Weather was too nasty to bike...so I stayed an etra night. High point of the trip.... More

We're a middle-aged couple, rode from Homestead PA to DC, lots of rain and mud along the way. This was the best stay on the way, not even close. Bill came out to meet us, invited us to hose off our bikes and store them in the shed, gave us towels to wipe down panniers, showed us to laundry, newspapers... More

We showed up at the B&B after a day of riding from Cumberland in the rain and our bikes and us were covered with mud. We went to the B&B to get a suggestion of where to go to get cleaned up and Darlene came up with a hand full of towels and showed us where the hose was and... More

We stayed at the 1828 Trail Inn in early August in route to Pennsylvania. Darlene and Bill are fantastic hosts. Darlene went above and beyond in making sure we were very comfortable! The afternoon snacks were great and Bill's egg breakfast and pumpkin pecan muffins were delicious. We hope to go back in October to ride the Western Maryland Trail.

We biked all the way from Pittsburgh, and stayed in Meyersdale the previous night (103 miles away). By the time we got to 1828 Inn in Hancock, we were very tired but made it by 7 pm, the check-in time. Darlene met us in the entrance with a big smile. She was very helpful with lots of advices before we... More

This is a really beutiful B&B very near the C&O aboult half way between Cumberland and Harpers Ferry. They are accustomed to cyclists, ready with a hose for the mud and a separate locked shed for bikes. The room are very nice, with clean modern bathrooms. The innkeepers are very friendly, really seem to enjoy meeting new guests, and rightfully... More
