John Herbert Quick House -- also known as "Coolfont" -- is a historic home located near Berkeley Springs, Morgan County, West Virginia, US. It was built in 1913, and is a large 2 1/2-story mansion in the Colonial Revival style. The front facade features a two-story pedimented, with a one-story rounded portico topped by a balustrade. It was built by author John Herbert Quick (1861-1925).

In 1961 the house and about 1200 surrounding acres were acquired by businessman Sam Ashelman, who went on to establish a hotel called the Coolfont Resort in 1965. The property, including the house, was sold to a real estate developer in 2005. In 2017 the house sold to an unnamed bidder for $225,000 as part of an auction of the entire former resort property.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
