My wife and I just completed a ride from Pittsburg (Point State Park) to Paw Paw. WE stayed at the Wrenwood B&B and were treated very well by Carol. We arrived early in the afternoon and were greeted by Scott who let us rinse our bikes before storing them in a locked garage. Carol arrived shortly afterward and greeted us like family. Pumpkin Cookies and tea were available as was a hot shower. The B&B is in an older home but was very clean and well kept. Carlo is an artist and had quite a few pieces on display. Another biking couple arrived and Carol offered to include the 4 of us in her dinner plans (breakfast is included in the cost)for a small additional fee. I'm not sure how often she would offer supper but it was very good. Our room was very clean and comfortable. There are I think 3 rooms with a 4th waiting to be furnished? WE needed to contact the shuttle service with final plans and I couldn't get cell service Scott let us use the house phone to place a call. I can't say enough about how well we were treated in this small out of the way location. I would like to point out that the road access from the C&O is at/near MP 156.2 and not MP 151. At the Rt. 51 bridge just before Paw Paw Campground if heading east bound go up the hill to the right (if you go under the bridge you've gone too far)and follow the road toward town. There is a paved trail almost completed that will take you to Paw Paw and you don't need to ride on the road/bridge which I didn't feel was that dangerous or busy. I also noticed on the side of the bridge a faded sign for the old Red Rooster which you'll pass as you ride into town. Great Stay.
