The inside of the house was very nice and clean. The outside wasn't too bad, but probably could have been mowed and weed wacked. The location was perfect for our day trips and store runs. The big downfall is that the road leading to the house from the main road is terrible. Gravel road, which wasn't a problem, but the potholes were terrible. You pretty much have to drive 5 mph to avoid undercarriage damage.

We loved it here. It is tricky to get to but it was also fun. That's kind of a requirement if you want mountain views. The view certainly did not disappoint. We spent a lot of our time enjoying the view from the porch. The cottage was warm and inviting and so very clean. It's not very often I can just walk into a rental and settle in without doing some cleaning first. It was so appreciated. The cottage is well appointed and the bed was super comfy. There were wildflowers in a vase on the coffee table when we arrived. We thoroughly enjoyed them and the gesture. Thank you for the hospitality!

All around great. Every thing you could want or need was there. Not just available, but clean, well maintained, and exactly where you would look. From a can opener to cable TV. The high light for our stay was sitting on the porch watching the sun set across the valley.

The road up to the place was as advertised, bumpy and steep in spots, but no problem with an AWD vehicle. The house felt comfortable, nice couch to lounge on. The kitchen was adequately stocked with items needed for cooking. The fireplace was nice to have to take the chill off at the end of the day. More psychological than anything else for a person who loves sitting by a fire. Close to Harpers Ferry which is what we wanted. The host met us with the keys and showed us around upon arrival.
