About

Nestled in Charles Town, West Virginia, and just minutes from Harper's Ferry, Hillbrook Inn is an historic bed and breakfast located on land that was part of George Washington’s original land purchase. Washington himself lived at “Rock Hall” or the “Bullskin Plantation” about 200 yards west of the property. Today, the charming venue hosts destination weddings, elopements, microweddings and grand weddings that want exclusive use of the property. This rural getaway is home to a historic mansion and a selection of picturesque outdoor spaces. Its tranquil atmosphere and timeless elegance are sure to delight your friends and relatives. Whether you are planning an intimate elopement or a larger affair, this Jefferson County gem can set the scene for the wedding you have always envisaged.

Fantastic experience

Hillbrook Inn was the perfect wedding venue! We did the lunch minimony (28 guests total) and the planning process was seamless, communication with Michelle the event coordinator was great and we were able to customize each element to match our style and preferences. The day of the wedding there was a problem with the original venue an hour before the ceremony and Michelle and the rest of the staff were able to move the entire wedding to a new location in less than an hour. Everything ran smoothly, the guests said they would never have known there was a problem at all, the staff were friendly and professional, the food was delicious, and we all had an amazing time. Can't recommend Hillbrook Inn enough, specially if you're looking to do a small, intimate wedding where everything is taken care of.

Perfect Elopement

My husband and I rescheduled our wedding here when our destination wedding got canceled due to covid. We absolutely loved our wedding at Hillbrook and could not have been happier with it. We had a simple elopement ceremony and they went above and beyond to accommodate our wishes for our special day. The Spring cottage was gorgeous and comfortable and the food was AMAZING! The grounds are simply beautiful and we have some fantastic wedding photos. It will definitely be a place we will return to for years to come!

Fairy-tale September Wedding

Words cannot describe how perfect my wedding at the Hillbrook Inn was! Marcy was my wedding coordinator and took care of all the details so I didn’t have to stress about a single thing besides my dress. She guided me seamlessly through the entire planning process. It was truly a fairytale wedding. Every detail was beyond perfect – the flowers, the cake, the violinist, the scenery, the service, the suites, and the food. All the guests were raving about the meal. Hillbrook Inn certainly has 5-star chefs.

We had a small morning wedding in late September, 2018 and the grounds at Hillbrook Inn were lush, green, and full of life. Every picture we took had the most gorgeous backdrop. This place is truly a hidden gem. I highly recommend choosing Hillbrook Inn if you are looking for a stress-free, fairytale-like wedding.
