About this property

1st floor private suite with 2 entrances. Filled with light and art in our pre Civil War home in the heart of Harpers Ferry.

Trouvaille House was built in 1830 and was one of the earliest houses built. It has been remodeled in 2021 and is light, bright and full of artwork. It is a private guesthouse with 4 luxury suites and a community area with kitchen.

The Provence Suite is the largest in the house, originally a living room, complete with fireplace (Electric insert for safety!) and exquisite double sliding doors into a huge, skylit bathroom. The bathroom is very spa like with stained glass, dimmable lights and luxury toiletries, linens and robes. The claw foot bathtub is for soaking after a long day exploring town! (It does have a hand shower.) From your bathroom, you can go out into your private sunroom where you will find Nespresso coffee just waiting to be brewed! There is also a private keyed entrance in the sunroom if you prefer to use it. Your room has a mini fridge stocked with milk for your coffee as well as bottled water.

The new kitchen is a shared, gathering type space with full set of dishes, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, etc. Lots of windows and light and seating options.

Trouvaille House is on the Main Street - Washington Street, just steps from lower town and convenient to everything.

(No keys to lose or to return! This property provides secure, keyless entry with an August Smart Lock. You can lock and unlock the door with your smartphone, using a unique virtual key, or personal entry code issued to you for the duration of your stay.)

Peace and a bathtub

It’s a great place to get away. Christie leaves you with stellar recommendations for food, hikes, and shopping. I enjoyed reading in the sunroom on the rainy days of my stay and touring the places she recommended. And…… that soaking tub…… I’d go back for the bathtub alone. 10 outta 10 would recommend!

First visit to Harper's Ferry

This is a beautiful and well-appointed home. It's convenient to town and other services such as a bakery and some good restaurants. The owner was easy to reach and came by the house to introduce herself. I highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Christie May

I live around the corner from the Trouvaille House at La Soledad Lavender Farm. I have been a professional artist for many years, and started hosting my first guesthouse during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was such a positive and rewarding experience, that with a partner, I purchased and remodeled the Trouvaille House in 2021. I love meeting my guests and making sure they have the best experience and memories of their visit to Harpers Ferry!

Why they chose this property

A lovely, pre Civil War home, Trouvaille House is right on the Main Street, Washington Street, in historic Harpers Ferry. One of the Historic Inns in Harpers Ferry. Just 3/4 of a mile from the convergence of the rivers in lower town and the NHP. Just across the street from the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. Easily walkable to just about anywhere you want to go. Free parking in front of the house.

The Trouvaille House was built in 1830 and we updated it to create four luxury suites! A trouvaille is a treasure or lucky find, and we certainly feel that way about it!

What makes this property unique

Even though the house is very old and historic, it has had a fresh makeover. The Provence Suite feels like you have stepped into a sunny room in the south of France. Beautiful original artwork, stained glass and a fireplace! Two separate entrances into the suite are a bonus. The spa-like bathroom and private sunroom make this suite especially spacious and bright.

Enjoy a long soak in the claw foot tub with our lavender soap and bath salts from our farm, La Soledad, just around the corner! Perfect finish to a great day of hiking and exploring!
