Walk to downtown shops, restaurants, and historic sites from this elegant mansion, the most historic home in our area. The original buildings (which still stand) were part of a fortified complex known as Mendenhall's Fort. George Washington garrisoned troops here during the French & Indian War 250 years ago. Being a millwright, John Mendenhall supplied Braddock's army with grain and later also supplied Washington's Revolutionary War Army.
In 1761, during his first run for public office (the Virginia House of Burgesses), Washington attended a wedding on the site.
The house was a hospital during the Civil War.
Aspen Hall's outstanding architecture has earned it the distinction of being "one of the finest Georgian period homes in the United States". It is on the National Historic Register.
Many of the original features of the 22-room house remain. The 13 x 38 foot grand hall still has its original 40 inch board and batten doors with their large strap hinges. Built of native limestone, Aspen Hall is on seven creekside, park-like acres.
The shared breakfast room is equipped with a microwave and a refrigerator. Fresh coffee, juice, pastry, and hot & cold cereals is provided each morning.
Local attractions include the Roundhouse, Apollo Theatre, Harpers Ferry NHP, Berkeley Springs, Shepherdstown, Antietam Battlefield, the C&O Canal NHP, Charles Town Races, snow skiiing, and golfing.
Guests can refresh their spirits by strolling Aspen Hall's grounds while listening to the peaceful babbling of the Tuscarora Creek as it flows under the footbridge. Full body Swedish relaxation massage is available by appt with the resident Licensed Massage Therapist.
