This is a tiny place but you can't beat the location! There's not much room for hanging out, but if you're a single or couple simply looking for a clean home base within reasonable walking distance to attractions, this is it!

This place was perfect for my husband and I. We were able to hike some on the Appalachian Trail which was basically in the back yard. It had everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable. The communication and check in was great.

Cozy, clean accommodations

In a great location for walking to the historic area of Harper's Ferry, the Appalachian trail, and Jefferson Rock. If you are fond of cemeteries it is close to Harper's cemetery. Hosts' gave great suggestions of places to eat and things to do.Cozy and clean - if you want a lot of space, you'll probably want something else, but this was perfect for just us especially since we were busy out sight seeing!
