Lodging In Shepherdstown
Shepherdstown has several hotels of moderate size:
Bavarian Inn
* Clarion Hotel (block of 20 rooms reserved at $95/rm/night) plus taxes
* Comfort Inn (block of 20 rooms reserved at $75/rm/night) plus taxes
There are also several bed & Breakfasts nearby
Thomas Shepherd Inn nice local B&B.
Mecklinburg Inn convenient rooms above the local Pub. Could be smoky or noisy, but modestly priced.
*Block-booked rooms… at Clarion and Comfort Inn
For your convenience we have reserved 20 rooms at each for each of 5 our weekends. This reservation holds those 20 rooms until 1 month before the event. Although they have only held 20 rooms for us, we can get the same rate for additional rooms if they are available.
Some events will have many more participants, so reserve early.
*Say UPPER POTOMAC to get the rate.
*Check into rates for other group rates if they apply to you. AARP, Government (at Clarion) may have slightly better rates!
*The price is per room. Each room has either 2 queen sized beds or a King size bed. You may put as many people as you like in your room. This flexibility can make the food and lodging package YOU put together cheaper than our previous options at Hilltop House and Cliffside, since you can do meals anywhere you like.
Comfort Inn has a complimentary "continental breakfast bar." Clarion has restaurants. Comfort Inn is right next to Food Lion. Both are walkable to Shepherdstown… about 1/4 mile away.
Neither has a good gathering spot for evening events that they will make available to us. Our evening programs will happen on campus or at the Men's Club.
Other places nearby with lodging options are Charles Town, Harpers Ferry and Martinsburg, WV as well as a number of nice B&B's near Antietam Battlefield in Sharpsburg, MD. We can arrange lawn camping with a local resident by request.
For those on a tight budget, Upper Potomac usually has a few housing scholarships, staying in homes of friends of the festival. Scholarships are given in exchange for providing a few hours of work during the weekend in set up and clean up. Contact the festival office for details.
