After riding for 60 miles on the C&O Canal Towpath, 1878 River Run was exactly the respite we needed. The hosts have thought of every detail, from the bike wash, to the towels to clean the grime before you go into the house, to the stocked kitchen, we were thrilled. We had snacks, enjoyed the view, and washed our trail-dirty clothes before going to the Potomac River Grill for the perfect steak dinner. In the morning, we were able to tune up our bikes, and eat a good breakfast before another 64 miles in the trail. You all are doing it right!!

What a gem in this quaint, authentic small town on the C& O canal. Traveling home from the outer banks, we decided to stop in Hancock, MD, our half way point. Already partial to this town after a fall 2016 bike ride, we were delighted by the simple elegance and charm of this B&B. The owners are experienced Inn keepers and it shows. The Inn was designed by them for the purpose of comfort and quiet. It is immaculate, simply yet beautifully decorated, and includes all the comforts weary travels would need. Our bed was firm and comfortable. Had we been biking, we would have thoroughly appreciated the laundry machines, safe storage for bikes, and WiFi-computer. He view of the canal and Potomac river from the great room balcony was amazing. We enjoyed watching the sun go down and the fireflies can me out. Our breakfast was simple and delicious, with great options for vegetarians.
