A very pleasant place to stay with a long history. Convenient to shops and historical sites in town. Great place to begin a walk, which you’ll be doing a lot in Harper’s Ferry. Multiple sitting spots to relax.

Nice place in a great location! My husband and I had a great couple nights here for an anniversary quick trip! Lots of hiking trails and beautiful views in the area. The cottage is within walking distance to shops and a few bars and restaurants. We took the train in and didn’t even rent a car. Host was very responsive to any questions we had. Would stay again for another quick trip !

Location of house was excellent! Only a short walk down the hill to historic Harper's Ferry. Parking was a little tricky on narrow one lane road, but was glad that the property did include parking in the historic area, which is hard to come by. Overall, had a great time and really enjoyed staying here!

I'm glad the location made exploring Harper's Ferry easy and that the included historic-area parking was helpful despite the narrow road. I appreciate the parking feedback and will make sure future guests know what to expect. Hope to welcome you back.

This cottage is in the perfect location! The cottage was clean, well stocked and wonderfully old and quirky. It is an easy walk into the historic town of Harper’s Ferry, but a bit steep going back, so manage your expectations and know your limitations. The host was VERY responsive and a pleasure to work with. The parking space is across the street and very tight against the hill (passenger needs to get out before parking). The town is quaint and has some wonderful local shops to visit. Our visit to Harper’s Ferry and surrounding towns was relaxing and we had a wonderful time exploring!

We really enjoyed our stay here, the location is perfect for exploring Harpers Ferry, within walking distance to everything. The cottage is well equipped, clean and cozy, perfect for a couples get away, would book again if returning to HF.

In the heart of town.

This historic house right off the main streets of Harper’s Ferry makes you feel that you are right in the middle of the history of the town. The host was extremely attentive, and the home was definitely charming. I would stay here again.

Great way to experience Harpers Ferry

This was a return trip for us, the time before we stayed at the Clarion. It was a treat to be staying right in Harpers Ferry this time and not have to worry about parking. The house was lovely and the property manager was friendly and communicative. We will stay here again!

The cottage was so charming and homey. It was super clean and organized. We had everything that we needed! I would highly recommend staying here! If I had to knock anything which honestly wasn't a knock even would be the parking and the road. Parking on the street was a bit tight but there were no problems. It's a very tiny road. However I felt safe and really enjoyed the home and the town! The host was responsive and communicated very well! Five stars !

Great stay in Harpers Ferry

Very nice property within a short walk from Harpers Ferry historic district. Great location but streets are up hill “both ways.” A little rough on my old knees. Host is excellent and keeps property well maintained. Would definitely stay there again.
