House is as pictured and advertised. Nicely set up and clean. Very accessible to me, who has mobility issues. Great view of the Potomac. Reasonably distanced from Shepherdstown, Harper's Ferry, and Sharpsburg. We had a very nice stay, and would use gladly use it again for a future trip.

Beautiful, peaceful location overlooking the river. We enjoyed relaxing on the porch and sitting by the river. Made a couple of trips into Shepherdstown - great restaurants, cute shops and farmer's market.

What an absolutely lovely property. We spent every morning and evening just sitting on the front porch watching the river. Easy to access Shepherdstown or Harpers Ferry for exploring. We had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. I would absolutely come back here and recommend it as a place to RELAX.

Overall, everything was wonderful and we plan to visit again. We kayaked down from Shepherdstown. The only thing we would change is the access to the river. It wasn't easy for older guests. It would have been nece if a clear path was available. It was overgrown from the rainfall,and had no clear path.

Very peaceful and what a beautiful view!! It was a little cool while we were there so we didn’t use the kayaks provided, but would love to go back in the summer. Great outdoor space to drink coffee in the mornings and sit by the fire at night.

Quiet, comfortable property with great river views and access. Stayed 8 days with our two Labrador Retrievers that loved the river. We enjoyed the use of kayaks on the property and spent lots of time on the river. Located within easy travel to plenty of sights, restaurants, and other fun. We had great communication with the hosts. Definitely look forward to going back again!!

Touring & Relaxation

Very convenient to Shepherdstown, Harpers Ferry, and Charles Town. Also nice to just sit on the porch or near the river. Hubby caught a couple of nice catfish. Overall a nice place to stay.

Great place to unwind!

Was the perfect place to go and relax. Sitting on the front porch, enjoying the river view really made the time here special. It's a great location if visiting Harpers Ferry or Antietam. Looking forward to coming back again but want to spend more time next time.
