About this property

A Place to Get Away From It All

Immerse yourself in serenity at our secluded retreat, nestled in a common area within 115 acres. A stone’s throw from historic Harpers Ferry, charming Shepherdstown, and the C&O Canal and Appalachian Trail. Revel in breathtaking sunsets, scenic walks, and the convergence of the majestic Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers. This haven combines historical richness with natural splendor, offering the perfect escape for those seeking tranquility and a taste of adventure in a picturesque setting.

The house is on a secluded gravel drive with only one neighbor. The house is overall very quiet and in the middle of nature. There are three separate bedrooms in the house and a large sectional in the living room. There is a full kitchen available for guests. There is always a nice breeze at the home, but for your comfort, there are ceiling fans throughout and AC units in each room and the common area. This is truly a place to disconnect.

Attached to the house is a small studio apartment with a private entrance and no communication with the house. There is no access to the basement, as we use it as a private storage space for our equipment.

This property was out in a quiet little valley. It was close enough to drive to everything we wanted to do and see. Beautifully kept and furnished. We had all the comforts of home. Thank you Jairo, for being such a good host. We plan on coming back. God bless you.

First, the home is clean, the kitchen is well stocked, and the common area is spacious. The furniture is in great shape. The mattresses are comfortable and the linens and pillows seem new. It takes about 20 minutes to drive to Harper's Ferry but worth the drive to stay at this quiet property. There's a clear and well marked trail around the property. The host communicated well and in a timely manner. We would stay here again.

A place to get away.

Had a very nice stay at this very secluded property. It was close to Antietum and Harpers Ferry . House was as described. It was very clean and had plenty of towels, bedding and kitchen appliances. A great place for hikers. Jairo was quick to answer any questions and easy to work with would stay there again.

Great county home

We had an amazing stay. It was a peaceful country location with a hiking trail tight on the property. The house was very comfortable and had everything you could need. Stocked kitchen, extra blankets, plenty of games. The owner was very responsive and accommodating. We had a great time and would recommend this home.

Adequate for our trip

This place worked out fine for our family of four to stay near Harpers Ferry which was further than it seems on the map because of the river (~25 min). Was very glad we arrived during the daylight because the driveway is a long (and bumpy) off-road gravel path. The host was responsive to our questions.

Great family getaway

Eight of our family came for a weekend getaway to spend time together and visit historic Harper’s Ferry. There was plenty of space for all of us to spread out and enjoy breakfast, TV, games and fellowship and watching the wildlife right from the windows. Beds were comfy and everything was clean. Only minor complaint is there weren’t enough washcloths, but that was not enough to take any stars away. Would definitely recommend this place.

Battlefield Base Camp

My group of 7 history buffs stayed at this house for 5 days while we toured Civil War battlefields in the area. This property was perfect for our purposes. It was clean, everything that we needed was there, and the location was ideal for what we were doing. As the weather was great we used the outside grill 2 nights and had dinner on the table on the lawn. Overall, a great experience.

Outstanding!

Can’t say enough good about this property and rental. The kitchen and appliances all appear new. The living room is SO comfy and inviting. The beds are all very comfortable. Ceiling fans in each room. Plenty of towels. Everything you’d need. Saw a doe and fawn one morning. Love the location (I’ma country boy). If you like city life and clubbing, this probably isn’t going to appeal to you. If you like peace, quiet, nature, and the outdoors, this is your heaven. If i has to find one thing to grumble about…it would be tough. We loved our stay. The only thing would be the driveway. There are two ways in. The first would have been a major problem if i had a very small or low to the ground car. It’s long, dirt, with some mud puddles (it had rained recently), and rocky. No concern with getting stuck in mud, they’re not deep puddles. Just made the car dirty, no big deal. I have an suv so it wasn’t a problem. But a small car could have trouble on the rocks. Thankfully there’sa second driveway that’s much smoother. Jairo the owner, despite never meeting him was on the ball with communication and all instructions so it was an easy check in process. Everything was perfect. Great property, great location, and great stay!

Comfortable and quiet

This home was very comfortable for our family of five, with nice beds and linens, and good living room and dining room space. The outdoor lighting was missing in a few places, and the kitchen was sparsely supplied. Directions should warn that the driveway is a private, stone lane that is very steep.
