I’m a proud mama of three, an MBA grad, and co-owner of The 1878 RiverRun B&B with my husband, Sid. When I’m not welcoming guests, I’m often working in operations for our family businesses, cheering on my kids at school events, or enjoying the outdoors—especially anywhere with sand between my toes and a salty breeze. Hospitality is in my heart. I believe in fun, family, and a touch of spontaneity, and I bring that spirit into the way we host. Whether you’re here for a quiet getaway, an adventure on the C&O Canal Towpath, or exploring the history of Hancock, MD, we’ve designed our space with comfort and connection in mind. I love connecting with people from all walks of life and hearing their stories. Guests often tell me it feels less like staying at a place and more like being welcomed into a home.

At 1878 RiverRun Bed & Breakfast, we specialize in providing a truly independent and comfortable stay. There is no staff on-site, giving you privacy and freedom to enjoy the property at your own pace. Check-in is fully contactless, and our team is just a message away if you need support. Our beautifully restored historic home features five private en-suite rooms, ideally located between the C&O Canal Towpath and the Western Maryland Rail Trail — a perfect stop for cyclists, hikers, and travelers looking for convenience and comfort. Each room offers plush bedding, a private bathroom, and a Smart TV (no cable — streaming accounts required for use). Our central HVAC system keeps the entire property at a comfortable 70–72°F. For those who prefer a cooler or warmer sleep environment, we provide extra blankets and fans in each room to help you adjust to your liking. Guests can gather in the shared living room area, use the complimentary Wi-Fi, and refresh their gear with our onsite washer and dryer — ideal after a day on the trail. Step outside and you’re just a short walk from the iconic C&O Bike Shop, local restaurants, cafés, and charming shops like Flannel on the Trail. Spend your days exploring two world-class trails (paved and crushed-limestone), kayaking or fishing on the Potomac River, or skiing nearby at Whitetail Resort in winter. The property’s spacious indoor & outdoor areas and peaceful setting make it an excellent choice for solo travelers, couples, families, and groups. We pride ourselves on exceptional cleanliness, thoughtful amenities, and a seamless guest experience. Whether you’re conquering the GAP/C&O, planning a weekend escape, or discovering Hancock, MD, 1878 RiverRun B&B delivers world-class trails, world-class stays, and a welcoming home you’ll want to return to.

Our neighborhood combines small-town charm with unbeatable trail access. 1878 RiverRun Bed & Breakfast is a true central hub for cyclists and trail travelers, located where the C&O Canal Towpath meets the Western Maryland Rail Trail. Guests love rolling right off the trail, using our washer/dryer, and walking to the C&O Bike Shop, restaurants, and essentials in minutes. Hancock sits almost exactly halfway between Harpers Ferry, Cumberland, and Williamsport, making it one of the most practical overnight stops on the GAP/C&O route. Guests can easily plan multi-day trips, switch between paved and crushed-limestone trails, and restock supplies before continuing their ride. While dining and shopping options are modest, you’ll find a few cozy ice-cream shops, pizza spots, and casual restaurants within walking or biking distance. For more variety, take a 15-minute drive to Berkeley Springs, WV, a charming, artsy town with mineral spas, artisan shops, galleries, and farm-to-table dining — perfect for a relaxing soak or night out after a day on the trail. Outdoor lovers have endless options: kayak or fish the Potomac River, explore 300+ miles of connected trails, or visit Whitetail Resort in winter for skiing and snowboarding. Hancock is quiet, safe, and easy to explore on foot — perfect for a sunrise coffee walk or evening stroll. Its location right off I-70 makes it convenient for travelers heading between Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Pittsburgh. Whether you’re here to bike, hike, paddle, or simply recharge, 1878 RiverRun B&B is your perfect launch point — a central, cyclist-friendly stopover where you can rest and prepare for the next leg of your adventure.
