Save yourself the time and book a room here! We had a wonderful stay and would recommend Sundogs to anyone looking for a nice getaway. I honestly thought that the pictures online, if anything, UNDERsold how nice the property and rooms are! The house itself was only built about 10 years ago and the love and care the owners have taken to keep the house, rooms, and gardens up really shows. It's a very clean place, plenty of modern touches without taking away from the classic B&B aesthetic, and breakfast was one of the best we'd had in our travels. The owners are nice and ready to help with any questions you may have about the surrounding area.

This B&B was absolutely gorgeous! It offered breathtaking gardens, walking trails, delicious breakfasts, a dog-friendly environment, and it was clean. The hosts, David and Peggy, were so friendly and accommodating. Our mini poodle enjoyed it just as much as we did! Would not change a thing about this place! Highly recommend!

We had a truly wonderful time in Sundogs B&B recently. Peggy & David are the most wonderful hosts that you could possibly wish for. They are friendly, helpful and prompt to respond when you have any questions. Here's a detailed recap:
Location: The location is easy to get to from the main road but still isolated enough that you won't hear traffic or be bothered by any sounds of civilization. Apart from the last 0.25 miles which is a gravel road/driveway, it's pretty smooth sailing all the way. After you park your car, the only sounds you will hear are those of nature. Shepherdstown (which is a short 10-15 min drive) has plenty of restaurants, retail stores and other conveniences if you feel the need for them.
Rooms: We stayed in the Gable and found it to be very well appointed. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom is spacious and well stocked with everything you will need for your stay. It even features a soaking tub but we didn't get a chance to use it.
Amenities: There is plenty of seating in a large and comfy living room and a decent collection of books and games if you want to while away the time that way. There are also several chairs and tables placed on the front porch and the rear porch. There are also lounging chairs all over the garden if you want to commune with nature and listen to the birds.
Food: The food was one of the highlights of our stay. David is an excellent cook & baker and the breakfast he served on both the days we stayed was outstandingly delicious. Being vegan, we were looking forward to the plant-based breakfast that was advertised on their website and I can freely admit that it exceeded our expectations.
Activities: There are plenty of activities within an hour's drive. We opted to visit the Yankauer Nature Preserve, the battlefield of Antietam, Harper's Ferry and downtown Shepherdstown. There are also a few trails on the property but we couldn't try them because it was rainy for the bulk of our stay. The garden is an absolute haven for bird watchers. We could hear a lot of birds from daybreak till sundown and it was literally music to our ears. Peggy is very knowledgeable about the birds and was helpful in pointing out birds when she noticed some.
The landscaping is simply amazing with a seemingly infinite number of plants, trees, fountains, a patio, gazebo and other structures that just go so well together. The whole place is guaranteed to melt away all your stresses and leave you in a calm, peaceful state of mind.
Due to the weather, we couldn't full enjoy all the amenities and features of the Sundogs B&B but we do plan to visit again and enjoy their hospitality all over again.

Our weekend at Sundogs B & B was heaven for my husband, our best 4-footed friend, and me. The natural beauty & peace of the 46 acre property with miles of beautifully maintained walking trails , the kindness & friendliness of the hosts, the beautiful breakfasts with our happy pup beside us, being an easy drive away from historical Shepherdstown and Sharpsburg, excellent local brew pub (Potomac Ridge), and first-rate winery in a gorgeous old dairy barn (Antietam Creek) gave the three of us the perfect break from the stresses & noise of the city. We look forward to our next stay. Highly recommend!

I just returned from a wonderful 3 night stay at Sundogs. The house is beautifully decorated, and the gardens are absolutely stunning. The room I stayed in was spotlessly clean, with a comfortable bed, very nice linens, a sitting area and a large closet. The bathroom had a huge walk in shower, heated floors, and all the usual amenities. When the owners say Sundogs is dog friendly, they really mean it. Crates, beds and bowls are available at no charge, and there are waste stations located on the property for easy clean up. I was a bit hesitant when I saw that the breakfasts would be plant based, but they were delicious and very filling. When I complimented the owners on the previous morning’s eggs, I was stunned to hear that the “veggie scramble” had been made with tofu! Peggy and David delightful hosts. I enjoyed speaking with them each morning, and Peggy, a professional dog trainer, was very generous in sharing dog training tips. I look forward to returning.
