Cozy cottage in West VA

What an amazing place! We had such a blast hanging out in Harper’s Ferry the week before Christmas for our mini-honeymoon. This cottage is everything we hoped for. It was perfect for just us but would also be perfect for a small family. I highly recommend staying at the Carrot Top Cottage.
